Youngblood Mineral lash primer

Who don’t love big lashes? I am a big fan of false lashes when heading out but I try not to wear them during the day. Yet I don’t want to sacrifice having mega lashes. Bring in the Youngblood mineral lash primer .

No mascara or primer
I had never used an eyelash primer before as I thought they were just a gimmick and another step in my already lengthy makeup routine. However, when I was given the Youngblood eyelash primer to try, I thought sure why not. Ladies I have not looked back since using this. While the mascara I use may change during the week I use this primer everyday without fail.

So how does it work. Basically you apply one coat of primer and while the lash is still wet you apply your mascara . The primer lifts and lengthens the lash, so that when you put mascara on,  your lashes are already separated and the mascara then adds even more volume and length. By using the primer I find it stops the mascara from flaking and clumping.  It is really important to apply your mascara when the primer is still wet, otherwise you will end up with clumpy bits on your lashes. If you use this right you will definitely see a difference in the length and volume of your lashes

I have tried the Youngblood primer with a number of different mascaras and it does make a difference. Especially when I used it with Benefit They’re real and Make Up For Ever Smoky Extravagant. It can be bought on the Closer 2 Fabulous website for €32 or in a number of Chemists around the country, details of which can be found on the Youngblood Facebook page.

While I did receive this as a gift it has in no way guided my thoughts on the primer. I would without a doubt purchase this again. As with all my reviews I promise to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but The Beautiful Truth.  ( Sorry I couldn’t resist the corniness)

I am quickly gathering a very impressive lipstick collection. I have a serious rainbow of colours, that would make any lipstick lover proud. So when I spied these little beauties from Urban Decay I just couldn’t leave them behind. Last Autumn, Urban Decay released the a range of lipsticks called Revolution.

Hourglass Ambient lighting blusher – Diffused heat review

These little beauties came onto my radar in January. I am not going to lie, I squealed a little when I saw Temptalia talk about them. I am a massive fan of the Hourglass Ambient Lighting finishing powders, so the thoughts of a blusher version of these wonder powders, seriously had my knickers in a twist. I wanted one, but I couldn’t decide which one I should start with, as I wanted to see them all in real life before ordering. They aren’t cheap, so I didn’t want to regret my choice. Googled picture from beautypointofview.com The Hourglass Ambient lighting blushers come in 6 shades. Diffused heat, Dim Infusions, Mood…

I am still in mourning for my eyelash extensions. Since my lash guru Michelle from The Pink Room has moved back to Belfast, I have decided to give my lashes a break from the extensions for a while.

Ladies, let me introduce the replacement for my eyelash extensions. The Max Factor Clump Defy Extensions Mascara is said to give both volume and length to…

My top Mac eyeshadows

So you could say I am a bit of a Mac eyeshadow addict. I firmly believe that it is better to invest in a large palette and fill it up than buying individual potted eyeshadows. They are easier to store and travel with. So when building your collection where do you begin? I have listed below the 10 eyeshadows that every makeup lover should have. How I have narrowed it down to 10 I do not know as there are so many more that I could have added in. For me there is no other eyeshadows that can compare to the Mac’s. Mac Vanilla Vanilla This is a creamy beige…

    I LOVE this, will repurchase over and over. People I work with have actually commented on my lashes and they have never commented on anything else- speaks volumes. I love the wand for applying it too, small and long- fab! 🙂
