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...

I have been using an airbrush kit for the last year or so. I use it for foundation, bronzer, primer, highlighter and blush – unfortunately I’m useless at applying the eyeshadow. Here’s a little video on the product… Thanks for watching!

This week is National Chocolate Week – like we needed an excuse to eat chocolate. In honour of the week in question I have a Malteser in my mouth as I type :) If you want to avoid adding inches though have a look at the goodies Lush have put together. Friends with Benefits massage bar (€8.70...

Kim Kardashian looked absolutely stunning on her wedding day -  sure doesn’t she always.  Makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic took care of her make-up saying that she wanted to look like the most polished and beautiful version of herself. Her certainly achieved that objective. If you want to see...

I’m excited about YSL’s Autumn Winter 2011 collection. Here’s a little look, let me know what you think.   OMBRES 5 LUMIERES Greens and purples with matte and moiré effect. 5 eye shadows captured in a unique new palette Dark green, mauve, aubergine, violet and green...

Blush Pro sent me a palette and a mini brush set to try out. Here’s a little lookie… The 88 Earth Toned Palette… And the 7 piece brush set…. The little brush set is actually usable. I wasn’t expecting this to be honest. The little round fluffy brush is lovely....

I have some new favourites from Sally Hansen. These two products have made it into my manicure bag. 1. Cuticle Gel Remover I had never actually used a cuticle gel that actually did anything other than moisturise before. This smells lovely, worked fast and loosed my cuticle. It has a built-in pusher...

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...

My September Glossy Box arrived last week and I have been dipping into its contents already. By the way, if you haven’t heard of Glossy Box basically you sign up, pay £10 per month and you’re sent a box of five themed goodies each month (link to my blog post). Here’s a look inside...

When I heard that Kylie Minogue and make-up artist Karen Adler were raving about Argan457 Metaserum I needed to check them out. For those of you who haven’t heard of the brand basically it’s all about top notch Argan oil products. I have been using the Long Lasting Eye Contour and Elixir...

My name is Amy Dillon and I am a nail polish addict :) My two favourite nail polishes at the moment are both by Butter London. They’re polar opposites yet I find myself reaching for them regularly. 1. Muggins – a greyish lavender. Muggins didn’t go on as smoothly as Jaffa and...

I arrived home from my restful holiday last night and I’m straight back into blogging. I’ve missed chatting about shallow stuff. I came home to an abundance of packages to check out. Fun. One pretty box in particular caught my eye… I was always intrigued by the idea of receiving...

I have finally finished my 12 week course of Boots Smooth Skin IPL Hair Reduction System. I recorded a little video documenting my experience with the product and of course, the results. Any laser hair removal stories welcome :)

I got a pressie of a Universal Contour Body Wrap from my dearest. It couldn’t have come at a better time – I booked myself in for the treatment in my local beauty salon the day before I left for my holiday. As I’m sure many of you know, the Universal Contour Wrap is designed to...
