Makeup Brush Cleaner

Makeup brush cleaner

Hey guys and gals! Carrying on form last week again I’m going to talk about  and review brush cleaner as it is so important to clean your brushes as if you don’t they can make your skin break out and cause problems to the skin and eyes.

Im first going to talk about cinema secrets rush cleaner this cleaner if very goos and a little it goes a long way with this cleaner a cap full in a jug of hot water will allow you clean a good few brushes at a time this is very good for cleaning it fast and does not damage the brushes at all while leaving them clean and new looking.

Another cleaner I would recommend would be Elle and Jo squeaky clean brush cleanser, this product is not at concentrate as cinema secrets but the reason why I love this is that they have an oil in the formula which allows your brushes feeling very soft and not damaged at all, I would recommend using this for smaller and fragile brushes such as eye brushes as the oil will keep the bristols in the brush feeling amazing and help it not be harsh on the eyelids.

You can find both these products on culteauty.ie

That’s all for now until next time thanks!!:)

Make Up Brushes

Make up brushes!

Hey guys and gals today I’m going to go through and review some of my favourite Make up brushes out there to help you add to your collection

First it the real techniques brushes these brushes for all are ideal for your first set they have all the tools you would need to make your make up look amazing, the brushes themselves are very high quality easy to clean and are now harsh rubbing on the skin I highly recommend all real techniques brushes as the hair on them are amazing and soft on the skin.

Next up would be Zoeva, these brushes would be a bit more expensive and I would recommend if you are really into make up and do people make up, the quality on these brushes are amazing and the have a range of all different brushes especially eye brushes to help you create a fabulous look easier. They are easy to clean but they do need to be well looked after because of the price of them, they are soft of the skins and don’t feel rough at all.

You can find these products on boot.ie , zoeva.ie 

That’s all for this week until next time!

Tan Remover

Tan remover !

Hey guys and gals! This week I’m going to carry on from my previous blog and talk about tan removers to help you get the stubborn tan off to help you but on a fresh new layer!

First up is the St. Tropes prep and maintain tan remover this tan remover is a bit pricey but its for a reason because this product instantly removes the tan, once applied to all the skin you leave it for 5 minutes and you can already see the tan coming off the skin its the latest remover I have seen on the market it is not harsh on the skins and doesn’t leave the skin irritated at all I highly recommend if you are looking for a fast acting remover!

Next up would be a cheaper alternative and one of my go to’s and that would be Bondi sands self tan eraser this product is really good on my skin as I do have skin problems there is not harsh chemical in it allowing my skin feel soft at a ll times you would have to do 2 layers of this to let it remove of the skin its not harsh or irritating at all and has a lovely smell to it this is my favourite in the winter when my skin is not its best

Tan

Tan!

Hey guys and gals! Today I’m going to go through and review some of my go to tans as I find its hard to get the right tan for you so I hope this helps!

First up I’m going to go through my favourite at the moment, and that is iconic bronze in dark this tan gives such a good summer looking tan on the skin when you first apply it, it gives an instant colour to the skin it drys very fast so you not left feeling sticky. I leave mine on over night and wash it off in the morning it gives me such a lovely colour it doesn’t have a bad odour to it and its not harsh on my skin at all, it does take a bit of rubbing to get off the skin but if you use exfoliating gloves it fine I highly recommend this if your looking for a dark tan!

Next up would be a more natural looking tan and that  would be coco brown, this tan goes on the skin easy it doesn’t give a colour straight away but if you leave it over night and was off you have a little golden colour on yourself. It does have a bit of a smell to it but not strong at all and I feel coco brown is one of the easiest tans to remove its not harsh on the skin at all and I do recommend to people with skin problems!

To begin with I’m going to go through Garners micellar water, this product to me is like magic! it removes my make up so smoothly and quickly you do not need a lot of it to remove your make up its not harsh on the skin at all and does not burn the eyes when removing eye make up. It makes. My skin feel smooth and not irritated at all so if your looking for a water-based make up remover this is the one for you and for the price its amazing!

Next up I’m going tot go through make up remover wipes, I have had a lot of trouble with wipes as a lot of them irritated my face but I finally found good wipes that are not harsh on the skin and make my skin feel smooth and they are Johnson and Johnson make up wipes these wipes are so cheap and remove your make up very smoothly without feeling like you ripped you skin off I find these my go too they have a range of skin types on their make up wipes and I highly recommend for people who have skin problems like me!

Eyeshadow pallets

Hey guys and gals! Today I’m going to go through some eyeshadow pallets they are so many on the market today that I feel like you wouldn’t even know which one is worth it to buy so today I’m going to help! First I’m going to review some day to day pallets and then a pallet that will help you go full glam

First I’m going to talk about the tartlet pallet from tart cosmetics I personally find this pallet perfect for day to day as I find using soft browns my go to, this pallet has various shades of browns and pinky tones to allow you get that natural look. You get a lot of product in each shadow and the pigmentation of that shadows are excellent I would tend to reach for this palette a lot and I recommended to all my friends and they love it! So if you can get your hands on it buy it!

Next would be Anastasia Beverly Hills soft glam pallet this pallet is brilliant for night out looks it has a mixture of colours having some matts some shimmery this will allow to create a range of full glam eyeshadow looks with just one pallet I always use this pallet on a weekend away for them nights out as its so handy to travel with and so easy to use the pigmentation dentation of the shadows are brilliant and the texture of the shadows are very soft on the eyelid and they do not leave pigment on the eyelids when removing.

Illuminators

illuminators!

Hey guys and gals welcome to this weeks blog I’m going to review and go through some of my favourite illuminations on the market and give you a run down of them.

First up is L’Oreal Paris Glow Cherie Natural Glow Enhancer Lotion this cream is a bit drying on the skin so I do mix mine in with moisturisers to allow not fell as drying and it gives of a lovely radiant glow to my skin I do find that you can only visible see this illuminator through natural make up as it wouldn’t be high to stand out but I do find the glow lovely on my skin and I would personally use this everyday with just my moisturiser no make up as it makes my skin look radiant.

Next up would be iconic bronze illuminator, this product is very pigmented a little bit does go a long way it has a very oily formula which I personally love as I find it makes the skin glow more. This is very visible on a a full face look which is perfect for a night out  and the size of the product for how much you would use is incredible so I feel like the price is well worth it this personally would be by go to illuminator as its the most pigmented I  have found o the market today.

Tinted Moisturisers

Tinted moisturisers!

Hey guys and gals! Today I’m going to go through and talk about some of my favourite tinted moisturisers on the market today as I feel like its very hard to find a good one without trying hundred of them! Haha

First up would be Nars pure radiant tinted moisturiser , this is very light weight but still gives you a medium coverage look which I found very surprising for how light weight it was, its would be more on the oily side so I do recommend more for dry skin the formula is not harsh on the skin at all and comes off very easily and I found it to last for more then the full day but it does tend to become patchy on the skin near the end of the day I found but I still found it to be amazing!

My second go to tinted moisturiser would be L’Oreal Paris skin paradise tinted moisturiser, I did find it hard liking this one at first only for the reason that I found it very hard to look nice on the skin and I finally found that its best to apply with a sponge and it gives the best looking coverage on the skin, I do find it a bit heavy sometimes on the skin but i find it the best looking on the face as it gives a real summer glow to the skin like you have hit some sun to the face the formula would be for normal to dry skin it is easy to take off and I found that it last for the entire day I find this to be a very good drugstore one and highly recommend for the price!

You can both of these products on cultbeauty.ie

That’s all for now until next week!

Contour pallets

Contour pallets!

Hey guys and gals this weeks product review is contour pallets, I must say I have gone through a lot of pallets but the ones I find to be the best would be

Kat von d shade and light pallet they have 2 shades I would be the lightest, I found this pallets straight off to be amazing the under eye powders that come with it are gorgeous on the skin and don’t give flash back and the bronzers and contour colours in the pallets are a mixture of warm and Cool tones to allow you create the look you want I highly recommend and the formula is not harsh on the skin and is easy to remove, the bronzer and yellow tone powder in this pallet would be a go to for me!

Next would be the nyx contour pallet I find this pallet to be a great start off contour pallets as it is not too expensive and you get a wide range of colours in the pallets to allow you get used to and learn more about how to contour and highlight etc, I recommend this to first time buyers the formula of the powders are a bit matt but it is not harsh on the skin at all, with this pallet you can also buy refills for empty colours which I find very good as you can buy the colours you would use the most instead of buying a whole new pallets again.

Setting Spray

Setting spray!

Hey guys and gals , today I’m going to give you my review of what I find is a good setting spray to allow you get an insight which would be best for you so let’s get on to it.....

First up is an obvious one for me as its on every YouTube and beauty blog that I see and that would be Urban Decay all nighter setting spray, I have only started using this spray this year only surprisingly but I don’t know why it took me that long because it is one of the best I have every used I ALWAYS! With out a doubt use this spray on a night out as it does what it says it stays all night it is quick drying doesn’t leak your mascara and does not make you get creases it just sits flawlessly in the skin and allows your make up last for the night it is not harsh on the skin and does not have a bad smell I highly recommend this if you love a good setting spray!

Next up would be the nyx bare with me setting spray its similar to the urban decay but I do find this better for the summer as it is not a very matt setting spray and gives the skin a dewy look and this would be a go to for me in the summer months, it is almost like a mist when you spray it and sets to this skin quick enough leaving a lovely dewy finish its not harsh on the skin at all the formula has an oil in it allowing for it to be softer on the skin and for the price I think its amazing!

That’s all for this week, you can find both these products on boot.ie

Until next week!

Lipstick

Lipstick

Hey guys and gals! A hot product this week I’m going to go through some of my go to lipsticks that I find amazing and review in more detail for you to see which you might prefer,

To begin with I’m going to discuss Mac Yash, this is my top favourite nude lipstick even when I first bought I immediately loved it is a taupe nude ,this is gorgeous with a full glam look I find the lipstick wear very long lasting and the formula lovely on the lips it’s a Matt lipstick but does not feel drying at all and this out off all my lipsticks will always be a go to favourite! 

Next would be Charlotte tilbury Scarlet spell, this colour is a lovely mauve colour I find this colour amazing on a more natural eye look as it allows more focus on the lips, the formula is not as Matt it’s a more satin it wouldn’t be very long lasting but it still is a go to for me because it’s very comfortable on the lips and the colour is an eye catcher!

You can find both of these on brown Thomas.ie

Brows

Brows!

Hey guys and gals! This weeks product is an essential for me and that’s brows! I’ll review two popular brands for brows and go in dept between the two,

First up an obvious one to me and that’s benefit brow pencil this product is amazing for colour wise they have a wide range for all hair types and for me it is hard finding a good colour as I’m a red head and I definitely do not want black brows on me haha! The product gives a very natural look and allows you to Ontario the product when you apply it is not drying at all and is not harsh in the skin at all, if you give this product a try I do recommend getting the sets they sell as they include gimmie brow which allows set and give more colour to the brow leaving a full colour brow colour hike still giving off the natural look!

Next would be Anastasia Beverly Hills brow pomade first reviewing this topic I did find it hard getting used to the product as I found it gave me very dark looking brows, but the key is less is more with this product but once getting used to it I found this product very good I highly recommend using it for a more full glam look and on potential clients makeup as it is very good to have in a collection and you get a lot of product for the price. The formula is a bit drying but is in no way harsh on the skin and give a full looking brow!

Primer

Primer!

Hey guys and gals! 

So this week I have tried out new primers and I'm going to give you my insights on what I have thought about them and in my personal opioion who they would be best for,

First up would be the benefit porefessional primer this is a very good primer to allow a more flawless look as it does fill pores and give the skin a soft look to it but I do find it very drying so I would recommend for oily skin but it does allow your makeup to last a lot longer.  

Next up would be the smash box photo finish primer this I find amazing on my skin as it is an oily primer and I would have dry skin, it applied very easily and I found it made a huge difference to my foundation as it gave it more coverage and lasted all day!

Powders

Powders!

Hey guys and gals welcome back to my blog! Im going to go through my review on some powders I have used and been using recently first up I’m going to go through a pressed powder,

Rimmel stay matt- this powder I find to be amazing for setting the t-zone area it sets it very well especially if you have oily skin and it does not leave a caked look or does not give you any flash backs and that to me is the top essentials of a powder for me as you do not want a a white faced look on a photo. The formula of this powder does not feel harsh on the skin and gives that face a flawless look and does not feel too drying on the face either, this is my go to powder recently and I have been recommending it to all my friends!

Next up im going to go through a my top loose powder at the moment, personally I do always where tan so I tend to go for more yellow tone powders to set the rest of my face and my top favourite at the moment would be…

Ben nye (banana powder)- I first found this powder as it was trendy online from everyone seeing Kim Kardashians makeup artist used it on her and from there I had to try it for myself! I personally did have to get used to using a new powder so it did take me a while to start liking it but it is now one of my top favourites its very light on the face and is not drying at all. But gives your face extra coverage with out caking it and I find it the best for when I wear tan as yellow tones with tan are personally my favourite ,so if your looking for that good setting powder to match your tan this is the one for you guys!!

 Thanks so much for tuning in until next time!:)

Eyeliners

Eyeliners!

Hey guys and gals!! Welcome back hope your all enjoying my recommendations and reviews so far today im going talk about eyeliners I recently bought the cat von d liner and I heard so much about it I thought I should give it a try! Personally I found it to be a very matt eyeliner which is some peoples preference just not mine, it does give a strong black colour to the eylelid which I was really impressed it is on the more expensive side but if you love a black matt eyeliner I would recommend cause the pigmentation of the product is amazing!

Another liner that I personal find amazing would be the essence pen liner it is so cheap for what you are getting and the pen is so easy to apply and gives of good pigmentation( not as strong as the Kat von d). I personally find this very good and for the price you cannot complain. The formula is oily and easily to take off , not harsh on the skin at all.

That’s all for today hope you enjoyed reading thanks!!::))

Lip liners

Lip Liners!

 Hey guys and gals!  welcome back to my blog hope you all are enjoying so far, today I’m going to go through and tell you my review on the best liners I have found first up would be.....

Mac whirl- this liner is a hard one to get as it is always sold out but if you get your hands on it get it! This liner is such a good liner to give off that perfect nude look and allows you to easily over line your lips. The formula of this liner is very creamy which I love and allows easy application to the lips if you love a nude lip this is the one for you!

To change it up from a nude i went searching for a red liner and I found this one to be the best I have found so far this would be the...

Nyx plush red- this colour is so vibrant on the lips and allows you get that perfect lined lip as the formula would be a bit matt which personally I think is needed for a bright colour as you need to get the perfect cut line on your lips before applying lipstick. This liner is very affordable and if your looking for that perfect bright Christmas red I highly recommend this!

Highlighters

Hey guys and gals today I’m going to review some of what I think are the best highlighters personally that are worth it for the money.

First up would be the balm Mary-Lou manizer this highlighter is very pigmented it is on the lighter side so would be better on fair skin as this would be more illuminating for that type of skin tone and you get a lot of product for the price, personally I did find it a bit to fair for my skin tone but I definitely would recommend for fair skin!!

My next favourite highlighter for a more darker skin tone is soft and gentle by Mac cosmetics, this would be on the pricier side but personally I think it well worth it for the money as it makes you look very effortless and gives off a high glow while also making the skin look flawless when the sun hits it. It has a lot of product in it so will last a long while and would be a very good investment piece to buy for a makeup collection, this is my go to highlighter lately and I’m getting so many compliments as I put it on my chest aswel and it clearly stands out.

(You can buy these products on Brown Thomas.ie)

Thanks so much for reading hope you enjoyed this weeks review recommendations! until next week! |:)
