I stumbled across these humble looking pen liners on the Collection stand in Boots recently, for an absolute steal. So like a good beauty blogger I hauled them all! While the packaging is humble, the claims are not, boasting EXTREME 24 HOUR WEAR. Let’s put that to the test, I thought. Read on »

Mary Kay Sheer Dimensions Powder in Pearl
With the despicable demise of Avon in Ireland a gap has been left in the market that a brand such as Mary Kay may just be able to fill; with a force of 33,000 regular women across the world now part of the Mary Kay Sales Directors team I see huge potential for them in the Irish market. When I was approached by the brand recently I was delighted to be given the opportunity to test some of their wares. Rather than lump everything in together I’ve decided to do individual reviews purely based on the fact that I have been super impressed with each product that I have tried. Read on »

Benefit Fake Up – Hydrate & Conceal
Concealing spots, blemishes and other unsightliness has never been my strong point; no matter what my choice of tools or product. That said I think the tables are finally starting to turn for me thanks to the newest Benefit product: Fake Up hydrating and concealing stick.
My usual downfall with concealers is that I need a highly pigmented, long-lasting product however these are exactly the type of products that tend to dry out skin and make my blemishes “flakey”. My skin is very spot prone so its a constant battle to find a happy medium between nicely moisturised skin along with good concealment. Its a fine balance and some-days my skin just doesn’t want to play ball. My usual concealers of choice include Barbara Daly for Tesco, Collection 2000 and Benefit Boi-ing and a million others in between so I jumped at the chance to attend Benefits recent blogger evening (Benefit events are SOOOO MUCH FUN) and learn all about their exciting new concealer product.

L’amour All Night Long with Lush!
Is anyone in the mood for lurve? Or are we all a bit bah humbug about the Hallmark holiday? To be honest, even though it is a totally commercial day, Valentine’s does have its uses – it can make you look at your relationship with appreciation, or identify the flaws and cracks within. So I for one welcome the phoney celebration as sort of a relationship NCT/MOT if you will. If nothing else, having the above goodies land on my desk it made me realise it’s been far too long since me and my other half indulged in some massage therapy. So last night, after a lovely meal, we went at it with gusto. Hush you dirtburds! Read on »
