I’m doing some TV work this week with more mature women. I was busy preparing my kit this morning and it got me thinking about a make-up kit for more mature skin. I decided to put together a list of all the ‘must haves’. As we get older the skin changes; firmness is lost, eyebrows...

A few weeks ago on Twitter I gave out about the fact that Sleek make-up was not available in Ireland. It was mainly their palettes that I was interested in as I have heard so many people rave about them. For those of you that haven’t seen Sleek products, like me, it’s sold in Superdrug...

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 did a little Autumn shopping, couldn’t resist. At the start of a new season I feel the urge to add a few additions to my wardrobe. I was budget conscious for the most part though :) Do I get brownie points for that? I even went to Belfast with my family a few weeks ago and managed to buy only...

Yay! I have finally added a forum to the site. I have always loved the community feel on Make-up & Beauty so an answers forum will help our little beauty community grow. I can’t wait to get chatting with you! Best of all your contribution is rewarded. When you post a question or an answer...

It’s been a while since I had a perfume related rant. I do love perfume, a ridiculous amount. I sense you know where this is going. Yes, I bought myself a bottle of Thierry Mugler Womanity. I’m a little deflated so it’s time to share with the group! No matter where I took the picture...

I know it’s Autumn but as I explain in the start of this video, this is the time of year that I actually use a bit of tan. I have been using St Tropex Wash Off for a few weeks now so I thought that it was time for a video review. I always included a little arm application so you could see the...

I blogged about the phenomenon that is the lavender lip look. I was unsure about the trend at the time and was in fact too chicken to try it. Not anymore! Today I bought Barry M Lip Paint in 129 whilst in Boots picking up my multi-vitamin. It is lavender! Who’s a brave girl then?! It’s...

This scrub contains oils that are perfect for bums and thighs. This is amazing for sloughing off dead skin on these areas, revealing fresh skin. The combination of cornmeal, which acts as a great natural scrubber, oils and massage stimulate lymphatic drainage which helps the body eliminate toxins. All...

I had my very first spray tan a few weeks ago. The fact that a beauty blogger has never tried one seems strange to people. To be honest I never gave it a second thought.I have been experimenting with tan since I was sixteen and I like to think that I can now apply it properly. This is the main reason...

I have a love hate relationship with Kohl. When applied well it can look sexy but when applied with a heavy hand and left unblended it can look very harsh. (thinking of a group of your girls I saw on their way home from school the other day!) In Summer I avoided Kohl like the plague. I wanted fresh...

On Friday morning Mr UPS, in his smashing brown shorts, delivered an exciting package. Luminess Air sent me one of their systems to try out. I thought I would give you a little look at what arrived. I have been wanting to try an airbrushing system for a while so I’m looking forward to figuring...

If you’re a hardcore reader of my blog you may recall me moaning about Vampira Polish by Eyeko.  When Eyeko sent it to me it was nestled in a bed of pretty shades that I loved, Vampira looked miserable in contrast. I may have called it dreary and wondered if it would look tacky since it...

I thought I’d give you a look at the items I have been wanting lately. Wanting and buying are two separate things so we’ll see what products I cannot resist. You understand right?! :) Topshop Lip Polish in Melba I was very excited when I heard that Topshop were launching a make-up range....

This is one of most commonly requested posts/videos. Here are some make-up tips for glasses wearers. The video tutorial will be up soon. If you’re long sighted: Eyes appear bigger through the lenses. It’s best to use darker shades on the lid to give the illusion of smaller eyes through...
