Velvet Teddy was my first MAC lipstick. I bought it years ago in Dublin airport on my way to a wedding in the UK. I asked the sales assistant for a Bridget Bardot nude. I was running to catch my flight and I didn’t have time to have a closer look at it. I just paid for it and ran. I was a little...

I have quite a few eyeliners in my make-up collection. I have gel, liquid, cake and kohls. I go through phases of them and at the moment I’m using pencil liners to beat the band. One in particular has become a firm favourite, MAC Powerpoint in Engraved. Engraved is a jet black. Powerpoints...

Here’s my latest haul from the CCO at Junction One. There are also some items from Boots and a few books that I picked up. I’m not sure about them so any recommendations would be fantabulous! Products mentioned:MAC Girl Friendly PaintpotMAC Delft PaintpotBenefit Powderflage

I have been falling behind on blog posts the last few days, apologies. I’m back in gear now. Back to my two/three posts daily. I have a little CCO haul to share. For those of you who don’t know what a CCO is, it’s the Cosmetic Compant Outlet (Yes there is one in Ireland!At Junction...

Yes, no matter how full my make-up drawers are I still keep adding to ‘The List’. What is the ‘The List’ you might ask. It is as you may have gathered, a list or everything a greedy makeup junkie wants. For me this is different to my Wish List. The latter are a list of things...

I love looking at other bloggers’s FOTD so I decided to contribute. Here’s my mug today… Cheeks: MAC Strobe Cream on cheeks under my foundation. I applied Benefit Hoola under my cheekbones and Milani Luminous blush on the apples of my cheeks. I finished with a very light dusting...

In today’s video I promised swatches of my top 10 blushers at the moment. Here I go…

I was cleaning my brushes this morning and I found myself wondering if I had to pick a favourite brush what would it be. The MAC 187 Duo Fibre brush wins hands down. Sure there are other brushes in my collection that are essentials and much more necessary than this one. But this really is my favourite,...

I had a little play with my new Manly palette. I have to admit, I did enjoy myself. I was a little overwhelmed by all of the colours but I eventually settled on Greens.     I used Jadet and Dark blue from the palette on the lide with a little Chartruese along the lashline. I like it,...

This concealer has been in my make-up bag for nearly two years. I still have the same tube. It occurred to me that this is a product I use almost every day and I have never mentioned it. How very dare I! The good Not oily or greasy Easy to work with Light but good coverage Smudge proof Sanitary.No...

I was recently asked to recommend a few ways to wear MAC Sable eyeshadow. This is one of the most popular and most talked about MAC shadows so I thought I would share how I like to wear it. I would also love to hear how you use it. My favourite ways to wear this eye shadow: A brighter colour on...

I have decided to review all of MAC’s foundations. I am often asked which product I recommend for different skin types etc. I will start with the lightest coverage, Face and Body Foundation. This foundation is water based, longer lasting than oil based products. It feels quite runny when you...

My kit includes a fair amount of MAC products. There are of course plenty of other brands in there but MAC definitely dominates. I love the eyeshadows, blush and lip products. Although I’m not a fan of their foundation or their mascaras. I have to admit that I cheat a little as I have a MAC...
