Best of 2013


These are products that really stood out for me in 2013 and ones which I would happily recommend to anyone...



Best foundation 

Chanel 

Vitalumiere Aqua


As a fan of full coverage foundations this one would not have been a typical choice for me. As it says in the name it is water based and does not give a lot of coverage, however after hearing wonderful things about Vitalumiere Aqua I decided that I just had to have it in my life!

The lightweight formula feels so fresh and smooth on your skin you will forget that you are wearing it. If you feel like you are smothering your skin by using full coverage/matte foundations all the time this will be a brilliant alternative for you. It won’t cover blemishes but that’s what concealer is for. 
Absolutely Beautiful for daytime make up.

 

Best mascara 

Maybeline 

The falsies


Forget Benefit’s “They're Real” In my opinion Maybeline have done a better job with this mascara. It comes with a curved wand which fits into the shape of your lashes meaning it will curl them as well as add volume and length. Try it and I guarantee it will be your new holy grail mascara.

Clinique 

 

bottom lash mascara


I was quite sceptical to try this at first as I thought it sounded like a gimmicky product but I couldn’t have been more wrong.  
There is nothing worse than looking in the mirror to check your make up and realising you have been going around with panda eyes all night and this is the solution to that problem. It has a tiny wand which is perfect for getting into every single lash without smudging and it does not transfer onto your skin no matter how long you have it on. Perfect for long nights out or special occasions.

Best Bronzer 

Benefit  

Hoola


There are so many bronzers out there it was hard to decide which one I thought was the best. Is it worth spending a fortune on the high end one? Aren’t they all the same? If you have managed to find a brilliant drugstore bronzer then good for you but for me spending a bit extra on this product is well worth it! 
This powder unlike so many is completely matte which means it is perfect  not only for bronzing  but also for contouring and we all love a bit of contouring these days! 
Although it looks quite dark in the pan a little goes a long way so this will even suit those of you that are as fair as myself…it won’t leave your make up bag!

Best Primer 

Benefit 

porefessional


This silky smooth primer not only feels amazing on your skin, it minimises pores and even fills in fine lines. A perfect base for any make up. It’s oil free and suits every skin type.  

Best Highlighter 

Mac 

Mineralize Skinfinish in Soft & Gentle

 


Do you ever get highlighter envy? You see a photo of someone you know looking like they stole Kate Moss’s cheekbones and you’re just dying to know what their secret is? If this sounds like you then you need to get your hands on this baby! This and your benefit Hoola are the perfect combo! 


There are so many more amazing products that I would love to talk about but I won't ramble on for any longer.
Thanks for reading xxxxxxxxxx

Finding the right foundation

  Estee Lauder Double W ear €35 Debenhams Finding the perfect foundation is so important but unfortunately can be such a difficult task! There is nothing worse than forking out €35 only to realise that the shade is not right for you or the formulation does not compliment your skin type!  So this is my foundation recommendation and also a few tips on how to make sure you do not waste your money on an unsuitable one! Obviously it is not possible to say that one foundation will suit every skin type but Estee lauder Double Wear certainly comes close! It is a full coverage foundation that will cover blemishes, spots, uneven skintone, redness and any other skin problems you may suffer! Double Wear really is a stay in place foundation so no more topping up your make up on nights out or during your working day, this really doesn't budge once it is applied! So If like me you prefer the ''flawless'' look as opposed to the '...

Beginners brows on a budget

Image
Forget the smokey eye and the statement lip these days it’s all about the bold brow… No one could have predicted we would be putting so much time and effort into preening and perfecting our eyebrows but with the undeniable influence of Cara Delevingne, big bushy brows have never been more popular! This is not a look for everyone but even if you wouldn’t call yourself a brow connoisseur you cannot deny that good eyebrows can change the shape of your face and make eyes look bigger, overall giving you a more completed and complimentary make up look. This eyebrow craze is not just for the younger generation it doesn’t matter what age you are, grooming your brows is relevant to all age groups. So what products will you need to achieve this look? Personally my favourite eyebrow product is Benefit's Browzings, which I have raved about in a previous blog. This kit comes complete with a powder, setting wax, a mini tweezers and 2 mini eyebrow brushes but at €35 it is not going to ...
