Beauty Crean

During these times many of us get bored and are looking for something to do at home. I suggest Upcycling. I recently took an old piece of furniture I have had for years and decided to improve it. This chest of drawers was not an expensive piece of furniture so I wasn't worried if it didn't work out. However I am happy with the result. I decided to paint the chest of drawers in Dulux Mid Shadow in a water based satinwood finish. If you are looking to use this colour and formula please know that you will have to get it mixed up in a shop that sells Dulux paint. I am a big fan of a satinwood finish and the water based formula makes it easier to clean up afterwards as well as being a more environmentally friendly formula. I also wanted to improve the handles on these drawers. I planned to purchase new handles however when I measured them the handles were an awkward size and I was unable to find replacements. Instead I decided to spray paint the existing handles in a metallic go...

Hi guys! I am excited to be reviewing one of the palettes from the Roxi X Revolution collaboration. This collaboration is long awaited and I think Roxi did a great job creating these palettes. The collection contains two eyeshadow palettes and one contour palette. However, I will only be reviewing the ‘Ride or die’ eyeshadow palette as this is the palette that appealed to me most from the collaboration. Firstly, I must comment on the packaging I am a big fan of the Revolution collaboration packaging. I think the palettes are slim, travel friendly and they have a large mirror which is so handy. The colour choice for Roxi’s palettes are very fitting and the packaging is sleek and true to her personality. I also think the shade names are very cute. The pigmentation in these shades are good quality similar to other collaboration palettes. The only downside with these shades is that there is some fall out in the pan. This is common with these Revolution palettes however it isn’t l...

Hello! I recently discovered this amazing boutique vintage shop while shopping in Killarney and I wanted to share this little gem with you. I accidentally came across this shop while shopping in Killarney town at the weekend. It is located upstairs on 1 Glebe Lane. The little shop oozes a vintage atmosphere with a range of vintage pieces to choose from. The shop contains a selection of vintage clothing, shoes, jewellery, accessories and vinyl’s. I purchased some vintage black jeans with embroidered love hearts down the leg for €19 which I believe was a fantastic price. I also picked up some rings for €3 each. This shop contains some funky pieces and I would definitely recommend checking it out if you’re in the area. Hazel also has a Depop account and I’ll leave a link to her account down below if you would like to check them out. Also this shop does accept card which is handy to know if you are going there. Thanks for reading! Hazel’s Depop:  https://www.depop.com/...

Hi guys! Today I’m going to be reviewing the Bloomtown sugar scrub in ‘The Spring blue clay and indigo leaf’. I got mine in the 68g which is the mini size and you can also buy a larger pot in 285g’s. I am a massive fan of this brand as their products are palm oil free! Bloomtown are an amazing company that are ethical, vegan and cruelty free. According to the website this product is, “ vegan, all natural, cruelty-free, no palm oil” and contains “no sulphates, no parabens, no PEGs, no petrochemicals, no phthalates, no TEA/MEA/DEA, no synthetic colours, no fragrance, no SLS”. It doesn’t contain any plastic microbeads and the scrub is made from scratch. This scrub is also unscented so it is ideal for someone who has sensitive skin. I have sensitive skin and I have found that it is very gentle on my skin while still exfoliating, removing dead skin and clearing out my pores. It also leaves my skin feeling moisturised. I use this product about two or three times a week and I reall...

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...

Recently I have come across this technique of dry brushing. I never tried it before so I thought it might be an interesting blog post. I ordered this brush off the Look Fantastic website. I love this website for beauty products and the best part is that it has free shipping. I ordered the ‘ Hydrea London Beech Wood Body Brush with Cactus Fibre Bristles.’ This brush currently has 20% off so it only cost €10.95. This brush is also FSC certified which means it has been responsibly sourced.   According to the website, dry brushing is supposed to aid circulation, prevent the build-up of cellulite and help remove toxins. I started using this brush on my legs and I have instantly noticed my skin is a lot smoother. I think the brush has also helped reduce the appearance of cellulite. I would recommend to use this brush daily for the best results. Thanks for reading! Check out my social media too! Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4rEMBv5wF3CDYwTUEBqcXg?view_as=subsc...
