Ever since the Caviar manicure, Ciate have been challenging us to take on textured talons. Most of their trends have required special kits, implements and ingredients to achieve the desired effect, sold at a considerable price for what’s essentially a fad. That is, until now. Ladies, I propose that you have everything you need to take on the latest trend right in your own polish stash. Let me present, Blackboard Nails, a Chalkboard Manicure on the cheap! Read on »
I read about the L’oreal Feria Pastels home dye kits well before last Christmas and try as I might I couldn’t find out when they were launching in Ireland. I made do with jumping on the pastel haired bandwagon by having several run ins with Crazy Hair Colour but never did really achieve the subtle pastel look I was after; check out my purple hair that’s no so pastel below.

Dainty Doll is the make-up line by Nicola Roberts; or as my fellar calls her “the ginger one from Girls Aloud”. Charming, huh?! Read on »
Whilst the majority of you will be enjoying the bank holiday Monday thats in it, I will be slaving away in the office for my sins! I’ve also had a bad dose of morning sickness all weekend (woe is me!) so to make myself feel a wee bit better I took advantage of all the bank holiday sales that are running at the minute. I picked up some new beauty bits which I will showcase at a later date but in the meantime being the trooper that I am I rounded up some of the online shops offering good beauty value at the minute. Check out the list below and let me know if you splashed the cash! Mwah x Read on »
This post ain’t for the faint of heart. May I present the Maybelline ColorSensational Vivid lip colour collection. I think I’ll let the pictures do the talking.
I am a bit of a wagon when it comes to buying things and not reviewing them; a beauty blogger at her worst if you will! I realised just this weekend that its been near on a year since I spent €21.00 of my finest euros purchasing the No 7 Protect & Perfect Intense Eye Cream, so I suppose that means I really am a bad blogger 
I figured that if I had it a whole year that I must be liking it so I should share it with you; better late than never eh?!
On counters now and just in time for Summer (I use the word “summer” lightly) Maybelline have 39 runway (known as a catwalk over this side of the Atlantic) inspired nail polishes on shelves nationwide. Aptly named the Color Show collection you can be guaranteed to find a favorite or two quickly amongst the on trend colours. Read on »
NYC have only gone and done it again with the launch of 14 very wearable lipsticks as part of their Expert Last range. I was sent six of the shades to try and had great fun altogether trying them all out. Read on »
Barry M have jumped on the textured nail bandwagon, with this suspiciously similar range to Nails Inc’s “Concrete” offering, right down to the British street names. Though we do love a good budget dupe round these parts, especially with fad/trend items, so who am I to complain! I picked these up in Superdrug across the border on special offer 2 for £6.00, so they were especially bargainous compared to Nails Inc’s £12.00 per bottle (yeowch!). Read on »
If this is the face of the apocalypse, I say bring it on! I’m guessing this isn’t the first review of Rimmel’s new Apocalips Lip Lacquer range that you’ve read, and I doubt it will be the last. These babies have taken the blogging world by cataclysmic storm, claiming a “lusciously creamy, conditioning formula” while delivering “a never-before combination of colour, shine and comfort that last and last”. CHALLENGE ACCEPTED. Read on »
