A Passion for Natural: Aloe Vera Gel & Lip Butter

By now, we all know I love products that are as natural as possible. A Passion for Natural are a company that believe in using extremely gentle ingredients so sensitive and eczema prone skin won't react or become further damaged by using their products. Since my experience with eczema, my skin reacts to anything and everything. If you're familiar with eczema, you'll know it makes any fine lines, bends or wrinkles in the effected area, become more deep set and pronounced. I've been left with some very deep wrinkles around my mouth...

FOTD #3

I love wearing a dark lip but when I do, I tend not to use any colour on my eyes. Today, I decided to go for a dark lip with a slightly shimmery eye. For my base I went with the usual: L'Oreal True Match Foundation in W3 Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer in Soft Beige  Rimmel Stay Matte Setting Powder NYX Blush in Mauve  On my eyes I used: NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Iced Mocha all over the lid. I used Buck from my Naked Palette in my crease and under my lower lash line. Then just blended everything out. To...

MeMeMe Beat the Blues Highlighter

I mentioned this in my Top Ten Tag post the other day but I didn't go into much detail because I it deserves a post of its own! MeMeMe Beat the Blues Highlighter in Pear Pink is a liquid highlighter and Skin Illuminator. It comes in a little bottle with a brush just like Benefit's High Beam. I don't have any picture comparisons but trust me, there is no difference between the two other than the price. High Beam comes in at €27.50 whereas Beat the Blues is a steal costing just €6.99. When I use this, I tend to dot it onto...

NOTD: Miss Sporty - Grape Fit

Miss Sporty is a budget makeup brand targeted at younger teens. They do everything from nail polish to mascara and foundation. I bought my very first black nail polish and black eyeliner from Miss Sporty at the age of 13... Oh the memories. I saw my sister wearing this polish the other day and after trying it myself, I was really surprised by the quality and I knew it had to be a NOTD post. As usual, my camera is showing this slightly more blue toned than it actually is. In real life, it looks very much like Essie Grenadine,...

Top Ten Tag

Last week, I was tagged by the lovely Alina from Beauty with Charm to do the Top Ten Tag. She was my Blogger of the Week last week so I'm sure you've already visited her blog but if not, go check her out! :) I haven't done a tag in AGES so I'm looking forward to getting into this. Foundation L'Oreal True Match is my pick for the foundation category. I can't say this is my all-time favourite foundation because I don't yet know what that is! People tend to have very mixed opinions on this foundation. It's a very runny consistency...

Realash Eyelash Enhancer

I recently received Realash Eyelash Enhancer* to test out and review. This is the first in a series of three posts featuring Realash Eyelash Enhancer. I'll update you guys in a month so you can see how my lashes have gotten on and again in three months time. I've never used anything like this before so I'm really interested to see what happens. When my package arrived, it was in a gift box which was such a nice touch. It made me feel like I was receiving a little gift. Realash Eyelash Enhancer is basically a mixture of...

FOTD #2

Today's makeup look is very simple but one of my favourite looks to wear during the Autumn. It's almost the same as last week's post, only this time I'm using a dark berry lip.   You'll begin to notice that I tend to use the same products for my base each week. I'll just list them instead of adding a description as well so you don't have to keep reading the same thing every Friday. L'Oreal True Match Foundation in W3 Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer in Soft Beige Soap&Glory One Heck of a Blot Rimmel Stay Matte Powder Benefit...

Maybelline Master Smoky Shadow Pencil

I love wearing winged eyeliner but I'm really not very good at it. I'm also much more of a subtle smudged liner kind of person on a day to day basis. When I was in Belfast I decided to get the Master Smoky Shadow Pencil by Maybelline. I got the colour Smoky Black but they also do a brown, navy, grey and violet pencil. I really want all of them! It's a thick double ended pencil. On one end you have a jumbo pencil liner and on the other end, a soft pointed sponge.  To use this, you just draw a line on your eyelid...

NOTD: Essence - English Rose

Today's NOTD is an Essence nail polish in the shade English Rose. This is a bit of a weird choice for me seen as I absolutely hate Essence polishes with all my soul but this one is so pretty, I've made an exception. The main reason I love this shade is that it's very similar to NYX Matte Lipstick in Tea Rose. It seemed to be a big hit with all of you so I thought I'd show you this polish too. shoutout to the red food colouring on my index fingers cuticle I can best describe the colour as a "dusty rose". It's not...
