Most disappointing products from 2014

DSC_3457In 2014 I tried some amount of new products. With the amount of products I tried, I am bound to find a few that just didn’t work out for me. While I love to tell you guys about the products that worked for me, I also think it’s important to give you an insight into what didn’t work for me.

It is worth noting, that just because something didn’t work out for me, doesn’t necessarily make it bad. It just means that I didn’t like it and while I do go on a rant or two in this video, some of the products still have good points to them. Sadly some of them are just not good at all!

I would love to hear if you have tried any of the products in this video and how they worked out for you. I would also love to hear what products disappointed you in 2014.

I trawl through youtube looking for tutorials on the best party to have me looking like a hot rod heading out to all my different parties.

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…

My Favourite Hair Tools

Without a shadow of a doubt, your hair is your crowning glory. On the days that our hair cooperates, we tend to feel good about ourselves. However, on days that our hair just won’t do what we want, those are usually the days that start off with a bad mood! How you hair works out in the morning, can really make or break your day! With so many  tools on the market, it is hard knowing what is worth splashing your cash on. For so long, we stuck to the tried and tested GHD for most of our hair needs. In recent times, a number of new tools have hit the market, that…

Stylpro makeup brush cleaner Pros and Cons

A few months ago, the StylPro brush cleaner hit the beauty world and caused an absolutely massive amount of interest and a rush from beauty lovers to buy the latest gadget. The StylPro was hailed as a game changer for makeup lovers, as it was  going to take the hassle out of cleaning your makeup brushes. Not only would it clean them in seconds, but it promised to dry them too. It sounded too good to be true and with all the positive reviews surrounding it, I was more than a little sceptical. When my very own Style Pro landed in my post box from Meaghers pharmacy, I was more than ready…

    Hi you mentioned you are looking for a cheaper foundation. I personally love vichy dermablend. I find it better than anything I have ever used. It is heavy but use a small amount and coverage is absolutely fabulous. Really enjoyed your blog 😉

    Great video Sinead! I used to love that Collection concealer but find it really highlights lines lately as well, never use it anymore.

    I stopped using the collection 2000 under my eyes, it’s just to cakey with even fine lines. Its great for spots though, stays on great! I discovered a foundation through my sister it is by Catrice, under 10 euro. Nude illusion it’s called, I bought all 3 shades. It oxidised a little bit on me but I got the colour mix right. Wears lovely x

    I recently bought Seventeen Stay Time foundation for just over €8 in boots and it is an exact dupe for the mac pro longwear I used to wear that cost so much more! So happy I found it

    Great video. I completely agree with your views on the collectios concealer. Really wanted to like it but I can’t. Brutally disappointing.
