The USA shopping list

With so many of you lovely lot heading off to the States in the coming weeks and months, this is by far my most requested post I have had in a long time and even though I have written posts like this before, as well as a lot of Sephora and USA hauls, there is still a need for an updated list!! With so many must have brands now available in Ireland and with the Euro so weak against the dollar, my best advice when shopping in the States, is to buy stuff that you can’t get here. There really is no big savings to be found on brands that…

Urban Decay at The Loop Duty Free

Before Christmas I was absolutely blown away when this massive parcel from The Loop came through the door. The Loop always send the best parcels and the easiest ones to chat about because they are cheaper than on the high street. Urban Decay recently launched in Terminal one and due to the success of T1 it was launched Terminal 2 just before Christmas, at Dublin airport. I don’t know about you, but when I am going through the airport, even if it is a flight to Kerry, I always buy myself something because in my eyes makeup shopping doesn’t count in the airport. Gwen Stefani Eye Shadow Palette No if,…

The Mac Haul

Seriously, could I milk these haul videos anymore? I have finally edited my final haul for you guys and this time it is packed full of products that you can actually get in Ireland, so be warned. This will not be good for your bank account, but if it is any consolation, you will look fabulous!! I’m sure there will be people wondering why I bought so much Mac when it is available in Ireland. Well here’s the thing. It is quite a bit cheaper in the States then it is on our fair Isle. Yes like everything else, we seem to be a soft touch for the extra few…

The Sephora Haul

Shopping in America can be overwhelming. There is so much more brands to pick from and so many stores in which to buy it. To help you streamline your shopping and get the most value from your dollar, for today’s post I am going to show you where to shop for your high end makeup products and what products to keep an eye out for Sephora When you think makeup and the US, you automatically think of Sephora. Sephora is a Mecca for so many makeup lovers, but it can be very overwhelming. With so many brands in one place it can be hard to know what is worth buying…

USA Haul part 1: The Drugstore Haul

Oh Lordy did I buy makeup!! I bought so much, that I am having to divide all my USA purchases into 3 separate videos!! The first of these videos is all about the drugstore and online buys. When it comes to drugstore makeup, there seems to be so many more products available in the States and also a much wider variety of shades. I find that the drugstore can be a little overwhelming at times, so it is good to go with a list of what you want to buy. To help make life a little easier for you, I am going to list my favourites places to shop for…

Jaclyn Hill Champagne Pop Becca Cosmetics Highlighter

Over the past number of weeks there has been some serious hype surrounding the collaboration between Becca Cosmetics and Youtube sensation Jaclyn Hill. For weeks I have been seeing snapchats, Instagram posts and blog posts about Champagne pop, the new Becca Highlighter. I am not normally one to fall for hype, but this highlighter really got me and as soon as it came online, I made a purchase. My god am I glad I did, as this highlighter is unbelievable!!! For those of you that haven’t heard of Jacyln Hill, she is a makeup artist, who tried her hand at Youtube and now has over 2 million subscribers. Those of…

A little Mac haul

Ok so I am using the term haul a little loosely here as technically a haul is only a haul if you hand over your hard earned cash, but this week I received some seriously wonderful Mac products that I just had to share with you immediately. Over the coming weeks, I will be using every single product that is featured in today’s video and each will get there own individual post, but for now I wanted to bring you something that I have done before, and record a first impressions video. I love watching videos like this, so I hope it is something that you guys like. As most…

5 best sites for grabbing a bargain

My name is Sinéad and I have a shopping problem. I can’t help myself, when I see something I like, I have to find a way to have it. Sadly my wages don’t always allow for this, so I have to find ways around it. As a result of this, I have become an near expert in bargain shopping and I thought I would share some of my favourite sites with you lovely lot. 1. iherb.com Many of you will have heard me talk about iherb.com, as this is the place to get bargain real techniques brushes. If you were to buy the Real Techniques core collection in Boots, it…

USA Haul

First off before you watch this, I need to apologise for the length of this video.I normally don’t like watching videos this long myself, but there was literally no way I could shorten it, without refilming it.  I actually thought that this was a restrained haul, but mother of god, this is one long ass video. I didn’t realise I bought so much, until I edited this video and saw just how much there was! Orlando is by far one of the best places for shopping in the States, and I have done a number of cities, but I never get as much as I do in Orlando. This haul is…

Irish Beauty Show Haul

Sunday saw the return of the ever popular Irish Beauty show to the RDS. This is a highlight for many beauty lovers throughout Ireland, as it is a great chance to see new and old brands up close and grab a bargain at the same time. I had debated if I could face the Sunday crowds, but decided to get up early and power through. I arrived at a little after 10 and already the place was jam packed. I could not get over how busy it was considering it had been open less then 10 minutes. There were people everywhere. At some stands, like the Crown brush stand, you…

The Final USA Haul

When I look back on my haul posts I realise I bought a serious amount of beauty products when I was away. This is the final haul of everything I bought and I did think long and hard before I bought almost all of these items. Clinique Dramatically different moisturising lotion I used to use this years ago and actually don’t know why I stopped. To me this is a good solid moisturising lotion that does exactly what it says on the skin. A little goes a long way and this will last me for months. I really like this moisturiser.  I have got one little gripe with this moisturiser and that…

USA Haul Part 2

My makeup collection has seriously grown on this trip. My wardrobe not so much. Im so disappointed with the clothes shopping and now I fear I am no longer able to shop!!! I have lost mo shopping mojo. Hourglass Ambient lighting powder in Dim light For those of you that haven’t heard of The hourglass Ambient lighting powders, they are basically finishing powders and highlighters that blur out fine lines and pores. I can’t rave about them enough and promise to do a full blog post on how they work asap. I was actually so annoyed that I bought this one as I already have it in my holiday palette.…

USA haul Part 1

Any of you that follow me on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook, may already have gathered that I am in the USA. Orlando to be exact. I decided to book a little trip, as I start treatment when I get back. The sun has really given me a boost and helps in taking my mind off things.  The shopping helps too. That really helps. NYX Blusher in Mocha The reason there is only 1 NYX blush in this haul is because the stand only had 1 left. Otherwise I would have wiped them out myself. I love NYX. Their blushers are fab. So pigmented and easy to use. They are hard…

Pick me up Haul

So I have been stuck in the house for nearly 2 weeks recovering from my latest surgery. I was going out of my mind. So this morning when I woke up I decided that it was time to look a little bit more human and make my way into town for a little treat. Credit card in hand I headed for Henry street and did a little bit, not a lot, of damage. Bobby Brown Creamy Concealer Kit and Corrector                                                            …
