October Favourites

1) Le Teint Touche Éclat foundation in BD50

I bought this foundation a few months ago and I initially really regretted buying it. However, this month I decided that I wasn’t going to leave it sit in my makeup draw and tried it again and this time I have fallen a little in love with it. Since I started wearing it again so many people have commented on how well my skin looks with this foundation. It gives your skin the most beautiful dewy glow and doesn’t feel heavy on the skin. It has a light to medium buildable coverage, with ok lasting power. I find that to make it last longer I need to set it with a finishing powder . Throughout the day I would need to top up around the T zone.

2) Sleek blusher in Suede

This is the most gorgeous rose beige blusher. It gives your cheeks a lovely glow. This is the perfect colour for Autumn.

3) Rimmel Moisture renew 360 -As you want it Victoria

I actually only bought this a few days ago but it is now my new favourite lipstick. This is the most fab pinky red colour. It is so moist and pigmented. I wore it out on Saturday night and I only had to top it up 2 or 3 times as it has really good staying power. This lipstick is a serious bargain at €7.95 and a must have for your makeup bag.

4) Sleek face form palette

This is a favourite of many beauty addicts. I bought this palette for contouring but I actually don’t like the darker shade. I do however love the highlighting powder and the rose gold blush. I was looking for a good highlighting product for ages and this highlighter is actually amazeballs. The blush is a gorgeous partner with the highlighter.

5) Nail Inc polish in Tate

I actually don’t know where I got this polish but it was in my Makeup drawer when I went looking for a polish for Saturday night. This is a fab red colour. It lasts a little longer than most nail Inc polishes. With a top coat I got 2 days wear before chipping. Perfect for a night on the tiles.

6) HD Brows bronzer in shade 2

I got this in my September GlossyBox. I love this for contouring and to bronze up my face. It has a fab cool tone to it and is the perfect contouring shade.

7)Sanctuary Spa Illuminating moisture Lotion

I bought this travel size by chance in Boots a few weeks ago. I needed something small for my makeup bag when travelling. Having used this for a few weeks I am 100% going to buy the full size product. It gives your skin a dewy finish and is great under my Estee Lauder double wear. I have been using this in place of my primer.

8) Hydraluron Moisture Booster

I have been raving about this product all month to my friends and family. Hyrdraluron goes on under your moisturiser and helps your skin retain moisture.  This is a product that I will repurchase again and again and again. You can read more about Hyrdraluron here.

9)Maybelline Eraser Eye concealer

If you have dark circles this is the product for you. I use this everyday and it helps to eliminate dark circles. I use the light colour, as I like my under eye products to be lighter than my foundation. This is my second bottle of this as I love it so much.

2016 budget favourites

2016 Budget favourites

What a year 2016 was! For so many, 2016 will be chalked down as one to forget. It was the year that saw a multitude of celebrity deaths. World politics went a little of track and there seemed like there was a lot of personal heartache on my timeline.  However, for me, 2016 was one of the best yet. As 2016 was the year I became a mammy! I am sure you’ve heard it again and again, but there really is nothing that can prepare you for the love you feel for a tiny human. Even the sleepless nights are manageable, as you’re getting up to feed the tiny person you made and love!…

September Favourites

September has been a bit of a weird month. I am back in work, so late nights and early morning have played havoc on my skin. My skin is a little lack lustre and tired looking. This month I also had two horrendous allergic reactions, that left my skin covered in little blisters , my under eye area sore and dry, and my whole face was left with dry patches. My whole makeup routine had to change, as my usual products  just weren’t working for me and left me looking like horrendous. As a result there are lots of new products in my favourites this month. La Roche Posay –…

This Works Deep sleep pillow spray

So I had a lovely lipstick post all ready to go today but I decided that I couldn’t hold back this little gem anymore. As a politician once said, this stuff is amazeyballs. I first heard about This works Deep sleep pillow spray on Lovely Girlie Bits . I had been having trouble getting to sleep and would found myself tossing and turning till all hours of the night.I was beginning to lose my mind with the lack of sleep.  Karen had written about how This works had carried out tests on 217 men and women who had problems falling asleep and that basically 83% of them nodded off much faster,…

June Favourites and Giveaway

Ok seriously. Where did the month of June go? In fact where did the first half of this year go. For me this has been the fastest school year since I started teaching. I feel the year has just run away from me. June was a very busy month for me. Between wedding planning, blogging, school reports and correcting tests, I haven’t had a second to myself. I did however have time to find a few new products to stick into my favourite. In fact there is even something in this month’s favourites that has holy grail potential!! I am hoping that over the next few months, with regular updates…

October Favourites

It’s that time of the month again. No not the time where I sit on the couch, cry and eat lots of chocolate, but my monthly favourites time. I’ve tried many new products this month, that I am just dying to tell you about. However, as usual, I forgot to include a product that I have absolultey adored in my video, so I thought I would tell you about it here before you watch my favourites below. Over the past few weeks there has been an awful lot of hype surrounding the Cocoa Brown instant tans. I would say at this point almost every single blogger has mentioned them or written…
