Barry M Matte Me Up Lip Kit

Hi guys! Today I'm going to be reviewing the Barry M Matte Me Up Lip Kit. This kit contains a Matte Me Up Liquid Lip Paint and Liner. I'm going to be giving you my opinion on the shades, formula and see how long they wear on my lips. I've seen some beauty guru's online speaking about these lip kits so I said I'd try one out for myself. There is a large shade range and I picked up the shade Go To in Boots recently. These lip kits are available in Boots and Superdrug. On application the texture of this product is very smooth and the wand makes it easy to apply. I love this shade too and it reminds me of the Jeffree Star shade Androgyny. So I think this could be a good dupe if you're looking for a cheaper version of the same colour. The product dries down to a a nice matte finish and didn't feel uncomfortable on the lips at all. I wore this product all day long and I did have some issues with it. The formula of this just isn't very long lasting. I noticed

My Top 3 Mascaras

Hi guys! So today I'm going to be talking you to about my favourite 3 mascaras that I'm loving at the moment. The first mascara I want to talk about is the Benefit Roller Lash Mascara. This mascara has been out with a while now but I've recently was going through my make up collection and rediscovered this product. I bought this mascara in the mini size and I love how travel friendly it is. This mascara is designed to curl your lashes as well as applying the mascara and honestly it does exactly that. Any time I wear this mascara I always notice how my lashed look more lifted and have a nicer shape to them as I generally don't curl my lashes. I love how lengthening this product makes your lashes look. This mascara applies really easily and I would even recommend to a beginner at make up. I love this mascara for fast application too as it's not clumpy. The second mascara I want to mention is the L'Oreal Paris Paradise mascara. This mascara has been hyped about a

Reviewing the Natural Shop

Hi guys! Today I have a really exciting review on some body care products. I was kindly sent a package by the Natural Shop and I wanted to share my thoughts on these lovely products and spread the word about their website. The Natural shop are based in Europe and distribute Organique which produce natural and environmentally friendly beauty products.  I'll link all the products I speak about down below. Also I must admit this is the best smelling package I have ever received. The first product I was sent was the Organique Nourishing Black Orchid Shea Butter Body Balm. This balm is great for all over your body and I found it particularly good on dry patches on my skin. To apply this product you just take a small piece of the balm in your hand and warm it up and then apply it directly to your skin. I'm also obsessed with the smell of this product. It has a strong scent and left my skin smelling really good. The next product is the Organique Nourishing Bath Bomb Black Orchid

Makeup Revolution Re-Loaded Palette - Newtrals 2

Hi guys!! Today I'm going to be showing you this look I created using the Makeup Revolution Re-Loaded Newtrals 2 Palette. So firstly I primed my eye lids with the Maybelline fit me concealer in shade 05 and blended that out using the real techniques miracle sponge. As this palette doesn't have shade names it might be a bit difficult to describe the shades I used so I'll describe them by row and colour. I dipped into the light pink shade on the bottom row and blended that into my crease using the blank canvas cosmetics E26 brush. I then used the orange shade on the second last row and blended that through my crease and taking it all the way into my inner corner. I then used the lightest shade from the Makeup Revolution Ultra Cover and Conceal Light palette. I carved out my lid using the lightest concealer shade form this palette. I then placed the purple shimmer shade on top of where I placed the concealer I then went back in with the orange shade to blend the colours tog

Penney's P.S. Pigments

Hi guys! Today I'm going to be doing a quick little review on some stunning pigments from Penney's. As you've probably noticed Penney's aka. Primark have really increased their make up game recently and they are slaying it. When I saw they released pigments I had to try them. I picked up the shades Berry Crush and Mink Pink and these retail for €3 each. I think there was 1 or 2 other shades in store too if your not a fan of these ones. They have an intense reflective pigmentation and look stunning when they catch the light. The formula of these to me seems like a mix of metallic and glitter. I think these are more metallic than glittery in a way which I love in a pigment as I find it easier to work with and a bit less messy too but they also have fine glitter particles. In the pot they look quiet chunky but when applied they have a smooth texture. In terms of quality I personally think they are amazing for the price and most pigments, even drugstore ones, are a lot m

High Street Haul

Hi guys! Today I'm going to be showing you some new clothing I picked up in the high street in Cork city recently. I wanted to update my wardrobe and find some nice pieces that I can wear now and coming into summer because we are in such a transitional period with the weather right now. So the first item I picked up was the denim embroidered skirt from Penney's. It has a really nice floral pattern embroidered here on the sides of it and has a zip detail down the middle of it. I thought this skirt would be perfect to wear now with tights and boots or in summer paired with sandals. I sometimes find it difficult to find a skirt that fits me correctly but this one fits me well and the material is really nice too. I picked it up in a size 8 and it retails for €17. Next in Penney's I picked up this pants which I will pair with the next top too. These are black and white polka dot print trousers and they are a stretchy material. I'm a bit obsessed with these pants. I do

Reviewing The Ordinary foundation

Hi guys this post is going to be my review on The Ordinary foundations.These foundations exploded onto the market last year and sold out on so many websites it was difficult to get a hold of them. I was finally able to get my hands on these after some time of trying to give you guys my 2 cents so sorry this review is so late. I bought 2 shades in the serum formula and one shade in the coverage foundation. I picked up shade 1.0N and 1.1N in the serum formula and the shade 1.0N in the coverage formula. These retail for under €10 which is one of the main reasons these were so hyped about. The formula of the foundations in my opinion are different to any other foundation I have ever tried but I don't think there is much difference between the serum and the coverage formula only that the coverage formula is a bit thicker. They both apply with a medium to full coverage depending on how much you are using and they blend into your skin easily. The reason I think this formula is so diffe
