    Brand Spotlight: Cailyn Ireland Cosmetics

    December 7, 2017 - By 

    This is a sponsored post with Cailyn cosmetics Ireland. Although this is a collaboration, my opinions are 100% my own and are in no way tainted Over the past few months, I have tried out a lot of Cailyn Ireland cosmetic products, to see what my stand out products where. While there were lots that I liked, including the blusher and small eyeshadow palette, I decided to write about my top 5 products in more detail for this collaboration. I have tried out all these products under a multitude of conditions. I have applied them all using different brushes and I really put them…

    My Ride or Die products

    October 23, 2016 - By 

    With so many products coming through the door  everyday both from generous companies and from my secret online shopping escapades, I tend to switch up the products I use quite a bit. I always make sure to give products thorough testing before I review them, but I often find that once the blog post is written, it is onto the next product that needs reviewing. However, even though I change my products quicker than the Irish weather on a summers day, I always have my die hard products that I fall back on. My ride or die products. Ride of die…

    First thing I noticed when writing this post, was I have seriously expensive taste. No wonder I am broke half my life, sure my wages are to be found in the tills of the beauty counters.

    Inglot AMC cream concealer number 73

    April 17, 2014 - By 

    Inglot Cream concealer number 73 The word contouring fills me with both fear and excitement. There are days when my contouring is seriously on the ball, and then there are days that I look like I have given myself a 5 o clock shadow! Ever since Kim K posted the famous picture of her contouring routine, we have all gone contouring mad. There are times I actually believe that if I could just get my contouring right, I will look like Kimmy. Wishful thinking I know. With contouring we are trying to not only look like Kim, but to create…

    Mac Pro longwear concealer

    February 5, 2014 - By 

    The hunt for the perfect concealer is almost as hard as the hunt for the perfect foundation. I have quite dark circles and find it very difficult to get anything to cover them. In the last few weeks they seem to be getting worse and all my usual go to concealers were just not able to cover them. Next up on my list to try was Mac Pro Longwear concealer. Just like with the Mac foundations, this concealer comes in NC and NW shades. I normally wear  NC 25 foundation but as I like my concealer to be a little…
