Testing I Heart Makeup palette


Hi guys today I going to be testing out and doing a tutorial on the I Heart Make up Chocolate Orange palette. I've never tried any of their eye shadow palettes before and I was intrigued to see if they are any good and do they really smell like chocolate!?

I picked the chocolate orange palette because this is one of my favourite type of chocolate and smells and I love the colours in this palette too. Firstly I've got to mention it actually does smell like chocolate oranges but its just not a very intense smell compared to the Too Faced palettes. For this eye look I started using the shade Silky Smooth in my crease and blending that upwards using a Blank Canvas Cosmetics E32 brush. This gives the impression that your eyes look bigger. I then used the Peel shade lower down in my crease using that the Blank Canvas Cosmetics E42. Then I took a more precise Spectrum A12 brush and placed the shade Dessert on the outer corners of my eyes to darken up the edges. I then finally took the shade Gift and placed that all over the centre of my lids using my finger to get maximise pigmentation pay out. I placed the two crease shades also along my lower lash line using a Real Techniques smudge eye brush. I then highlighted my inner corners and brow bone with the shade Its Mine.
This is the finished look here to the right I really love this look and it can be turned into a super glam look just by simply adding lashes or a deeper lip shade.
 I'm literally now obsessed with this palette. The shades had the smallest amount of fallout I've ever seen in a drugstore brand which I'm super impressed by and the shades have amazing rich pigmentation too. These shadows also have a smooth texture which makes applying these shades easier to work with. This palette is such a win in my books and it's only €12.89 too! I will definitely be trying out some of their other palettes too in the future.

Moo Goo Shampoo Review

 I realise I am late to discovering this shampoo but nevertheless it deserves a review. I picked up the Moo Goo shampoo in my local chemist last week after a friend recommended it to me. I must admit I have been obsessed every since. I have dry hair and over the years I feel like I have tried every shampoo on the market for dry hair. It wasn't until I discovered the Garnier Ultimate Blends shampoo did my hair improve at all however sometimes even that doesn't work for my hair. It can be frustrating as using hair masks can make my hair go greasy faster and my scalp would still be dry. Since I started using the Moo Goo shampoo my hair looks more hydrated and there is no dryness on my scalp. This shampoo is a little more expensive than your average bottle of shampoo however I believe it is worth every penny. This shampoo is excellent and also leaves a lovely shine.   Available at:  https://moogoo.ie/scalp-friendly-milk-shampoo Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC...

SOSU Contour Stick

Hi guys! Today I’m going to be reviewing the SoSu contour stick. I’m aware this product has been around for a while now but I have always avoided cream contour products for two reasons. The first being that I don’t want the product to slide around my face and also powder products are easier to use. Secondly, any cream contour products I have come across for reasonable money have been too dark for my skin tone. I purchased the contour stick in the shade ‘Cool’ from my local pharmacy that stocks SoSu products. On application I swiped the contour stick directly onto my face where I would normally apply contour powder and then I used a beauty sponge to blend it out. The stick is very pigmented and it only takes one swipe to apply. It’s very smooth on the skin and the product is easy to build up if you want a more prominent contour. The component feels good quality and the product is cruelty-free, paraben-free and vegan. Overall I think this is a great product. The stick is ea...

Upcycling my bedside locker

 Hi! Today I wanted to show you a piece of furniture I recently upcycled. I have this bedside locker for a few years. However the top of it have been damaged by nail varnish and it has some wear and tear marks. I decided to paint it one of my favourite colours from Dulux which is Mid Shadow. I picked up everything I needed from Bandon Co-Op Retail and Garden Centre. I will link what I bought down below.  I started by cleaning the locker with a damp cloth and then waited for it to dry. I removed the drawer knobs. Then I lightly sanded down the surfaces with some sanding paper. This creates a key for the paint to adhere to when you are applying it. I started applying my satinwood to the locker. I decided to purchase the water based satinwood as it drys quickly and is more environmentally friendly. It took about 4 coats however you can buy an undercoat too to reduce the amount of coats you need to apply.  For the drawer knobs I decided the keep them and spray paint...
