Garnier 5sec Perfect Blur

Finally I have come around to doing this blog post on my recently(ish) purchased Garnier 5sec Perfect Blur primer. 

First off, it's in a handy tube and you can squeeze out as much or little as you like which I love rather than the pump bottle as you can measure much better how much product you want to use! 

It's a light mousse texture and leaves an unbelievably silky film over the skin which actually does blur fine likes and pores. I have been using this under makeup for the past week or so and really do love it.

Blends evenly into the skin and is a lovely base for make up. I was really happy with it actually! 

Which primer is your favourite?

hdBROWS Goodies!!!

I added to my hdBROWS collection today in the means of an eye brow pencil and a tweezers. Both by the brand hdBROWS. 

As I already had the hdBROWS eyebrow palette  and because I loved that product so much, I decided to purchase the above items to complete my eyebrows!! Haha 

I have recently lightened my hair also, so there's my excuse to buy more products to suit... Right?!!!

Anyways, the pencil was €15 and the tweezers was on offer for €10. I don't know the original price but she said special offer and I had to have it, especially cos I have none at the minute! (I had a recent tragedy when my sister took my trusty Tweezerman to the states with her a month ago. ;) ) I purchased them in a salon in Galway called UptownGirl. The staff are so damn friendly!! I love it there! 

The pencil is in the shade Brown. It is a really long pencil a little longer than a MAC lip pencil. So I feel it was okay value wise. The pigment is really good and a few light strokes was all I needed to get my colour preference. Then I filled in my brows more with the palette. I find this pencil really good for lining the shape. The only other brow pencil I have tried I a MAC one. It was retractable and just not easy or nice to use. The tip broke so many times!!! This one is much better for me!

The tweezers is a matte black colour and has a slanted tip. It is quiet sharp to begin with so care is needed at the start and be sure to hold the skin taught as to only pull the hair! This baby pulls out hair without any type of fuss! Really clean removal and no hair breakages or anything. The root comes straight out! I CANNOT STAND BAD TWEEZERS!!!! 

This will replace my Tweezerman nicely... And for less than half the price!! Yay!

Foundations I love!!

Looking for a new foundation...

Okay, here goes, I am a complete foundation geek. Yet, despite trying almost every type on the market I still haven't found my ideal match. I would, ideally, like three foundations. One, for daytime pale days. The second, for days with tan on, and the Third, for nights out (with tan obviously)!

So here goes my favourite picks for the said categories!

PS. I have combination skin!

Daytime pale days has to be my MAC Pro Longwear in the shade NC15. Super pale right??! It does a great job covering up blemishes and is easy to blend, long lasting, and matches my skintone fairly well. NC10 would be perfect! 

Daytime tanned work makeup foundation would have to be Lancome's Teint Miracle number 01. Really like this foundation shade and isn't an orange tint at all!! Which is always good!! Blends perfectly to tan and has a beautiful dewy glow! 

Last, my favourite foundation is MakeUp Forever HD foundation in shade 118. This stuff is really brilliant! Superb finish and there is no SPF so no attractive moon face in photos taken with a flash! Its really worth a try and lasts and that particular is slightly yellow based which i love and is perfect for my skin!! Just a pity its not stocked in Galway, but the makeup counter in Dublin will post it down!

Which foundation do you like to use on days where you may want to be different colours?? haha <3

The Body Shop Rainforest Moisture Review

Hello Everybody!

Okay, so I know it has been ages since a last blog post....(apologies!!) but I am back with a shampoo and conditioner review. The shampoo and conditioner I bought recently was bought for 2 reasons.... 1, because my hair was feeling really dry and looking dull and brittle recently... and 2, it was on special offer!!!!

So, this is what the packaging looks like....

 Rainforest Moisture Shampoo for dry hair

 Rainforest Conditioner for Dry hair

I bought these recently in The Body Shop for €20..... Yes thats right....the two for €20... whats even better is...that the two bottles I got are 400mls each. Happy days!!!!

How they worked....

Firstly they both smell FANTASTIC!!! and secondly they left my hair feeling really soft and looking shiny and nourished after I dried and styled as usual. I have Black short-ish hair that i blow dry and straighten every day so it was getting a bit of a battering lately. But these products really have made a difference and has made my hair happy again!

One thing I dont like about the shampoo is when I am actually rubbing it into wet hair it feels a bit dry.... doesnt lather up as much as I would like, but the end result of both the shampoo and conditioner together works great...

At full price, it is a 200ml bottle in my local Body Shop for €9.99 each. I think I got a pretty good deal!! Love when a bargain works out well!!

Have you tried any of The Body Shop Hair products???
