I am a self-professed foundation addict. Ironically, I wear very little of the stuff but I do like to try them…all of them. I’m a fan of  the natural but flawless foundation effect. This is notoriously hard to come across. I have found Nars Sheer Glow meets these requirements for my skin...

I love a good highlighting product. Sure, I  have way too many but sure what’s one more eh?! I have been using a St Tropez Illuminator for the last week or so. The illuminator comes in a few shades for to suit different skin tones – Rose, Gold and Violet. I have the Rose version which...

I have been using Rimmel Lasting Finish Foundation for a month now, exclusively – which is odd for me. I recorded a video review for those of you who are in the Market for a “drugstore” foundation. I hope you enjoy!

Another winner from Isa Dora. This time it’s  Matte Bronzing Powder & Body Brush. Holy moly, it’s big. I’ll start with the bronzer itself before moving on to the brush. The best thing about this bronzer is the that it is matte. Bronzer fans will know only too well how hard...

I recently recorded a video rave on Isa Dora’s Glow Stick. I’m officially a huge fan. I thought it best that I swatch it for you. The review video can be found below the swatches. The colour reminds me of Nars Deep Throat (awful name, but cult blush). It’s the same tone, it could...

I packed Chanel Pro Lumiere for my trip to Chicago. When I got there, the low humidity and -20 degree temperatures meant that my delicate Irish skin needed about three layers of moisturiser to look human. Unfortunately Pro-Lumiere did not adapt well to these extra layers. I decided to buy something...

I have a bit of a love hate relationship with Benefit Boi-ing concealer. I bought one a few years ago and used it up, to be honest at that stage I was a little indifferent to it. My skin has changed a lot since I last tried it. Enter pic from Benefit website (since I don’t own one!) I passed...

One of the items I recently received in a swap was the Gosh Velvet Primer. I was very excited to try it out since I have been looking for an alternative to my Laura Mercier Primer which is very expensive. Firstly let me say that I really like the packaging. I also love that it has a pump. On first...

I’m always interested when my favourite brands release new products. Today I was having a snoop around looking for new foundation releases. Here are four that I’m excited about.   1. YSL Radiance Flawless Foundation SPF20 This foundation is designed for dull skin that is in need...

I was happily surprised with the results. For those of you who wanted to know where we can buy it on this side of the world – discounted Stila products are available from Beauty Fragrances

I have heard so many YouTube guru’s rave about the Eyeko Cream. I always meant to try it but it wasn’t stocked in my local Superdrug.As you know, if something is out of stock/unavailable I must have it. Ridiculous but true. Imagine my surprise when the postman delivered a package from...

I finally got my hands on MAC’s Stereo Rose MSF, man I love Birthdays! When I heard they were still in stock last week I ran in to MAC in Brown Thomas and bought a few more for giveaways (link on the left side of the website) And here is my darling… I’m sure you’ve heard...

MAC Peechykeen and Springsheen are amongst my favourite blushes. I was recently asked by a reader to do a comparison for shopping purposes. I was happy to oblige since waffling about make-up is my thing. Here are the two beauties in question… Left to right: Peechykeen, Springsheen You’ll...

Nars Sheer Glow is hands down the best foundation I have tried. I have decided to dedicate a blog post to my love of this fantastic product. Here are some reasons why I love this foundation: Natural looking: For me this one of the most important things about a foundation, it needs to look like...

One of the joys of visiting the Canary Islands is tax free shopping. Add the numerous perfume and beauty stores into the equation and the option of haggling and I’m in beauty heaven. On my way out to dinner this evening I picked up a concealer (how on earth did I  leave the country without concealer?)...
