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...

I love sugar, all sugar. Cuisine de France have reduced the price of their Classic Muffin to €1.50, I can actually hear myself getting fatter! To celebrate they are offering Makeup & Beauty readers the chance to win one of three hampers. I bought the toffee and apple one the other day (shh it’s...

Will you  have a cup of tea? G’wan, g’wan, g’wan… I’m assuming we’re all familiar with Father Ted. For me a cupán tae fixes everything. As a tea addict I thought you ladies may be interested in winning a hamper. Barry’s Tea launched Pu-erh and South African...

Yes, it’s time for another morning ramble. Here is what is on my mind on this fine morning: My annual cartwheel: It has almost become a ritual. When the weather starts to improve and Summer is on the way, I start off the season with a cartwheel. I don’t know why, it’s just fun. Yesterday...

Since I love Penneys (Primark) brow kit so much I decided to see what else they had on offer makeup wise. Enter the cheapest primer ever! It’s appropriately named Prime of Your Life. I think it costs €3. The packaging is quite cute and from the swatch is feels light and creamy. It evened out...

This is an old favourite of mine. My friend and I used to make this when we were 14 before the kiddie disco on a Friday evening, ah the memories (at that time I took my fashion inspiration from the Spicegirls, Baby Spice to be exact). This recipe is best suited for normal to oily skin which makes...

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...

The Body Shop kindly sent me some of samples from their Summer makeup range ‘Nomadic Goddess’. I have been using them a lot over the last few weeks so I decided to do a tutorial on my favourite bronze look using animal friendly products. (Minus my foundation which I didn’t consider...

So it’s Sunday. I have no plans, as of yet. I tore myself away from my latest True Blood book to get dressed and slap on a wee bit of well, slap. I kept it very simple today.  If I do go anywhere it will only be to the cinema. I also have some videos to record this afternoon. The face: The...

I have been planning an eyebrow product video for quite some time now. I have been testing brow products from lots of different brands and price ranges. I came across this little kit in Penneys last week. I couldn’t wait until I film the video to share it with you in case they stop selling them...

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 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 finally bought Revlon Photoready Foundation. Here are my thoughts and an application demonstration: Have you tried this yet? What’s your thoughts? *UPDATE – It’s Septmber 2010 and  this is still my everyday foundation.

I previously did a post outlining how to make a wrinkle preventative using ingredients suited to those in their twenties. Today I’m moving up a decade. This anti-wrinkle oil has ingredients prove to protect, sooth and nourish the skin whilst keeping the aul’ wrinkles away. Dilute the...

Well ladies if you fancy having a giggle at my expense I’ll be on tonight’s Off the Rails (RTE 8pm). This was recorded months and months ago so my hair is an icky shade of blonde, ooopsie! The piece is on how to create this seasons flawless skin with the talented Sarah Jane Wai O’Flynn...
