Some of you may be horrified to read this but…. I only wash my hair once a week and now thanks to Joico dry shampoo I am getting nearly 8-9 days out of it! Now please don’t confuse washing the hair with washing oneself; I am not a total stinkbag and do wash myself every day. I swear! Read on »
Go BOLD or Go Home! Maybelline ColorSensational Vivids Lippies aren’t for Wallflowers!
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.
Twilight Beauty featuring Essence, Lush and imPRESS nails

Twihards everywhere are counting down the sleeps until the release of the highly anticipated THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN – PART 2 movie which is set to hit screens on 16th November. In anticipation of the release I have put together a little guide to the best of Twilight beauty on the market! Enjoy x
First up in our Twilight Saga beauty special we have a very special release from Essence due to hit counters this November. They have joined forces with Summit Entertainment to launch a limited edition Breaking Dawn inspired make-up collection . Prices will start from a pocket money friendly €1.99 and this is a collection sure to fly off the shelves! My favourites include the Shimmer Powder (I love Essence Powders), the Gold Lipstick and a gorgeous Blood red lip gloss and the best part? I can buy all three for nearly a tenner! Bargain.
Next up is the aptly named Twilight Shower Gel from Lush, which I had the pleasure of trying recently. Its a lavender laden limited edition Christmas release from Lush so make sure stock up before it disappears off the shelves again. I have to admit I am totally won over by it; it contains Lavender essential Oil, Tonka Absolute (gives it a Vanilla edge) and Ylang Ylang. I cant really describe it any better than Lush themselves:
The period between sundown and nightfall is often called the blue hour, because of its distinctive ambient light. Our blue purple shower gel tries to capture this, with a twinkling of stars added too.
Finally Kiss have a treat for all nail art enthusiasts and Twilight fans alike; imPress on Nails. They have launched some limited edition manicures just in time for Halloween but I could definitely see Bella from Twilight going for the Spider Web manicure. These press on manicure kits will set you back around the €8.00 mark and are available in Pennys and stockists nationwide. I love these nails because they can literally transform even the most raggedy of nails with minimum time and fuss! Result! XFactor judge du jour Nicole Scherzinger is also said to be a huge fan!
Weleda Skin Food; a new favourite
I am a total sucker for cult beauty buys and products such as Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream, Clarins Flash Balm and Lancome Flash Bronzer have all graced my dresser in its hayday. I surprised myself by resisting Weleda Skin Food for years, that was until a recent trip to a local health food store where I spotted it. I tried a small bit in the shop and instantly fell in love with its tangy fragrance and I duly handed over 10.50 of my Euro bucks to take it home with me. Read on »
