I felt like donning a red lipstick today. Don’t ask me why, it just felt right :) I haven’t worn red in a really long time. I tend to apply it and then change my mind. Not today. I opted for Lancome’s new collaboration with Kate Winslet – Rouge L’Absolu Rouge BX in 132...

I have been dabbling with Lush Lip Tints for the past few weeks. I had one in the past, a raspberry shade, that I used occasionally as a lip balm rather than as lip colour. I have found three that I really like. Here they are… Left to Right: Chilli Tingle, Celebrate, Latte   And some...

I needed a little pick me up yesterday so I bought a new book (The Radleys – meh!) and popped to my local Starbucks for a huge mug of tea. However, after I settled myself in to cosy arm chair it became apparent that I was sitting in the middle of some Mammy and toddler convention. Now I love...

I’m a big fan or Carmex as you know. Whenever they release a new product I run out and buy it right away. Although I quite enjoyed the Strawberry version that came in a tube, I found it lacked the lip healing properties of the pot. Last month Carmex launched Moisture Plus which are stick lipbalms...

You all know how much of a lip gloss junkie I am. But I am by no means a lipgloss snob, I have a mix of high end and budget friendly tubes in my collection – I enjoy them all. I’ve been enjoying NYX lip glosses for the past few weeks. They’re cheap and pretty. Whipped, Kiss, Pink,...

NYX Lipsticks. I only have Paris and Flower, both of which I love just as much as any of my MAC pinks. I wanted to try a few more. These lippies are all from BeautyFragrances.co.uk.

If you watched my recent product rave video you will have heard me rant a little about an Isa Dora Jelly Kiss lipstick I have recently fallen for. It’s a beautiful pink (what a shocker) in 53 Pink Parfait. You can find swatches below and photos of what it looks like on me for reference. And...

There are lots of fancy ideas out there for storing lipsticks and lip glosses. Personally, I like to use things I have lying around the house. I had two watch boxes that were going to go in the bin after Christmas so I decided to salvage them and use them for lipstick organisation – man, I love...

I have been meaning to pick up some of Sephora’s Nano Lip Liners since I read Lollipop26′s review. She loved the shade Native Nude (the name was enough to make me buy it). When I was in Chicago I popped into Sephora – okay “popped” is not the right word, perused intensely...

I mentioned in my latest haul video that I picked up three NYX lip pencils whilst in the US. I had actually intended to buy more but the local Ulta didn’t stock the entire line, boo hoo. I had 8 shades to choose from, none of which were neutrals. I eventually settled on these three. Dolly Pink,...

I have come across two great finds this week. Thought I’d share! Find #1 I picked up a very cheap gloss today that reminded me of a MAC Dazzleglass. This rather surprising find came from Penneys / Primark.   It’s called Gilt and it’s a shimmery, sheer gloss with gold...

I had a few requests for do a follow up with some swatches on the e.l.f Minty Lipgloss. The shade I have is Houston.     A closer look at the shimmery particles…   On the lips it’s a sheer pink shade with a touch of Magenta. The colour in the tube had me all...

I recently picked up MAC’s lipstick in Viva Glam I. Two words, sex pot!   This red is not just any red. It has a deep, dark layer to it. It’s rich but cool toned (yay for Irish skintones!). Even red lipstick lovers I know are a little intimidated by this one. Some swatches online...

Those of you who know me at all will know that I have a fondness for nude lipsticks. Not the pasty nude the drains the life out of you but the natural ‘I wish my lips were this colour’ shade. I have a ridiculously large mountain of nude lipsticks that I couldn’t possibly work through...

I picked up a couple of Essence lipsticks in the cosmetic isle of my local supermarket the other day. I chose the lightest pink called Frost and a medium pink called Kiss You. They cheap and cheerful but are they even worth €2? Here are some pictures… L to R:  No.01 Frosted and No.43 Kiss...
