E.l.f (Eyes Lips Face) is one of those brands that we hear YouTube guru’s and bloggers talking about frequently. It’s super cheap and they offer a wide range of products. I was sent two of their $1 Shimmer Eyeliner Pencils for consideration. Here is my tuppence worth. e.l.f  Shimmer...

I have had el.f’s  Waterproof, Lengthening & Volumising Mascara in my mascara drawer for six months now. It has remained unused and therefore unloved. I decided it deserved an opportunity to impress. I wasn’t expecting much to be honest. I’m far from being a make-up snob but...

Everyone has a staple shadow. The one you use almost every day and throw in your make-up bag. Mine changes every couple of weeks. When I find a staple I tend to use it everyday in some way or another. My current staple is Nars Lola Lola. I bought this shadow online last year on Lollipop26′s...

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...

I’m not sure how I feel about felt tip eye liners. I think people  usually love them or hate them but I’m on the fence. The idea is great in theory but I love the ease of a gel liner and the sexiness of a smudged kohl. Eyeko sent me their Grafitti Liner to try and I have been putting...

This little bad boy has crept into my make-up bag. It’s a little different to the usual eyeshadows so I thought I’d give you a little look at this little guy… This is an Emani Hybrid Cream Colour in Sex Kitten. According to Emani’s website  these are hand made, talc and paraben...

I hadn’t tried any Eyeko products when I go this mascara so I was excited to try a brand that was new to me. I had heard good things about this particular product and their glow cream. Firstly, I gotta’ say I love the packaging. It is what appealed to me first about this mascara. A lipgloss...

I’ve never tried any Pixi products, although I did order a lip palette from beautycrunch a few weeks ago. This is their smokey eye palette that includes concealer. It’s cheap and cheerful but I have to say, it’s not bad. This is a good beginners smokey eyes kit. I like the eyeshadows,...

Usually I’m a little put off by products like this one, the ‘everything in one box’ sort of  product. From previous experience the standard of such boxes are usually quite poor. I was a little surprised to come across one that I actually enjoyed using. It is by Pixi and this particular...

I really like Stila shadows so I was delighted to get my hands on this trio in Gerbera. The shadows are smooth and soft. The colours are so pretty… Stila is not available in Europe anymore which is a little annoying. But this one came from  www.cheapmakeup.ie and costs €10, also on www.discountcosmetics4u.co.uk...

I picked up Loreal Double Extend mascara at the height of my mascara addiction. I have quite a few on the go and this one got lost at the bottom of the drawer.   Left: With mascara Right: Without I mentioned in a video that this product was a nightmare to remove. I received about a hundred...

My favourite eyeshadow list changes regularly. Here are my favourites at the moment and some swatches… L to R: MAC’s Silver Ring, Phloof, Patina, Jest, Beauty Burst, Sumptuous Olive, Humid MAC Parfait Amour, Cranberry, Plum Foolery, Kat Von D Galiano, Physicians Formula eye...

I picked up Boots 17 Va Va Voom Volume Mascara a few weeks ago. I have been wearing it every day since then as a road test of sorts. First of all lets get the moneys out of the way. This is a cheap Boots brand product, I think I paid €6 for it. It has a huge brush with oversized bristles which...

I’m obsessed with eyelashes. They can really make a face. I like my own,they are curly and quite full. But what I gain in curl I lack in length. Hence the lengthening mascara addiction. For those if you that don’t have overly curly lashes you should give an eyelash curlers a try. People...

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,...
