    IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC cream

    May 27, 2018 - By 

    With IT Cosmetics launching in Boots UK, it is only a matter of time before it reaches Irish shores. With that in mind, I thought I would tell you about It Cosmetic’s cult product, the Your Skin But Better CC cream. The Your Skin But Better CC cream has been raved about by bloggers for a number of years now. It is a colour correcting product. CC creams are said to help even out discolouration in your skin. It will help with redness, dullness and sallowness and will help neutralise any discolouration while letting the natural look of your skin…

    Disappointing Products

    January 17, 2018 - By 

    As a beauty blogger, I try a lot of products every year. There are of course going to be some I love and some that miss the mark. Not every single new release can be amazing and wonderful. However, it is worth noting that sometimes, things that don’t work for me, might be holy grail for another and vice versa. With that in mind, I have gone through all of the products I tried and tested this year and I have picked out my most disappointing products. Victoria Beckham Highlighter I had such high hopes for this highlighter. I lusted…

    The Ugly Truth

    December 21, 2017 - By 

    Opinion: a view, judgment, or appraisal formed in the mind about a particular matter * To the reader, blogging looks like a glamour whirlwind of events, photo opportunities and press drops. Yes, bloggers get products for consideration, attend events and are even jetted away on press trips. I have been lucky to do all three and this year in particular, I have been very fortunate to experience some really once in a lifetime opportunities. For some, what was once a hobby, has fast become a career and for the most part, blogging has changed how we source our information on cosmetics,…

    December 7, 2017 - By

    Mac Extra Dimension Blushers

    August 9, 2017 - By 

    When it comes to blushers, Mac is hands down my favourite brand. While I have other blushers that I like, I don’t think you can beat Mac when it comes to  longevity, colour payoff and shade section. The Extra Dimension blushers are the latest additions into the Mac blusher wardrobe. They had previously released this formula as part of limited edition collections before but finally they are no longer teasing us and they have given us 11 whopper shades to pick from. There are so many things to love about these blushers. Mac claim that their Extra Dimension blushers are a…

    August 6, 2017 - By 

    Ready for another round of blogger mail? I’ve tried quite a number of new bits over the past few weeks, some gems and some things that need to be left on the shelf. Pixi Vitamin wake up mist I absolutely love this stuff! In fact this is my second bottle, as once I was finished my press sample I went out and bought another bottle myself. I am obsessed! The Vitamin wake up mist is said to be a pick me up for your skin. It is supposed to act like a toner that hydrates your skin. It is quite…
