Sleek Cosmetics Solstice Highlighting Palette

So as you all know I'm a massive fan of highlighting and contouring.
I picked up this AMAZING Sleek Cosmetics Solstice highlighting palette for €13.49 in Boots

I had my eye on it for awhile but as usual what you want is nearly almost sold out the minute products hit the shelf! So I waited..... Patiently....kinda!! And finally picked it up.

Mother devine Jesus its AMAZING :)
The pigment and quality in the 4 shades is just incredible. There's a pink, yellow and iced white/yellow powders and one cream shade which ISNA soft pinky/nude tone.

I apply it above my cheeks, tip of nose, above my brows and cupids bow (above the lips)
A little goes a long way with these highlighters.... These are not for the faint hearted but if you love a good highlight then these are your babies!!

The packaging along in fab a lovely rose gold kind of a shade and super shiny.. When you open the palette there's a mirror which is very handy for on the go. The price point is great too and always great when Boots do 3 for 2.
I love the Sleek brand and this is a massive winner in my eyes. They are budget friendly and just as good if not better than highend brands :)

So if you haven't already picked up this Solstice palette get out and get it, this would also make an amazing stocking filler for any makeup lover :)

Boyne Country Candles

Recently the lovely Denise from Boyne Country Candles gifted me with this Amazing Jamaica candle which is made with exotically fragrance oils and soy wax. Which smells absolutely define!! I'm quite fussy when it comes to candles and their scents... I find some can be very over powering and sometimes can give me a headache if burning too long. This candle is lovely and subtly scented and not over powering at all!! Which I obviously love and can cannot get enough of!!

Denise herself hand makes these candles (how amazing is that)
She uses frangrance oils and soy wax everything she uses is all natural products so there are no chemicals burning into the air space around you.
She has a range which are names on places around the world which when you might then it almost takes you to that place with the smell in the room... This idea I loved especially with this weather just sit back and close your eyes and imagine you are there.... Just don't open your eyes and look out the window to see rain ;)

There is an aray of choices to chose from the 'take me to' range which I can guarantee you you'll struggle to pick one because they all smell so lovely!

Denise also has a Organic range which are made more essential oils such as Eucalyptus, Lavender, plus lots more. These are also amazing in scent without being too much! These reminded me of being in a day spa and the smells you would pick from either having a massage or just from being in the spa itself.

With them all being hand made they are very affordable from €12.50 to €15.00 I think they are priced great! I have had mine burning for a few days now and very little has actually gone from the candle itself where as you can pick up candles and be lucky to get two days of burning out of some!

I'm also delighted to say that Denise will also be showcasing the Boyne Country Candles at the Ladies Day in the Green Isle hotel, Dublin which we have organized for chairty. She will have special offers on the day for candles sales on the day.

Thanks a million Denise for my lovely candle I'll definitely be picking up more from you soon.
For anyone looking to pick some up I've attached the link in the name above.

Artistry Hydra-V Collection

I attended a Artistry Hydra-V seminar a couple of weeks ago to show and tell everyone about the new collection.

The Hydra-V collection is a deep hydration range with can be used on all skin types to rehydrate the skin.
This range is so incredible that even if you have a oily combination skin type you can use it... In fact its suitable for ALL skin types.

Hydration can be difficult to treat in the skin especially finding the right product, aside from taking in the correct amount of water everyday we all want that perfect cream or serum to treat our skin but also not leaving the skin with a greasy film or tacking finish to the skin.
Hydra-V does not do this at all in fact it instantly treats the skin and you notice and feel a difference straight away.

Now when I heard this on the day I was a total sceptic because I've tried and tested many brands and products to treat dehydration and never had an instant effect that lasted all day. You always need to give it a few days and then a full 4 weeks or more to notice a real difference.

Well wait and I tell you about this....  I was kindly gifted with a Hydra-V Fresh Toner and Nourishing Gel Cream.
When I went home that evening I removed my makeup with my usual cleanser and then I used the Hydra-V Toner and I didn't have a tightish feeling that I normally do have on mg face after using toners. I then used the Nourishing Gel Cream and instantly my skin felt lovely.

The next morning like most mornings when I wake I can always have like a flaky like look to my skin especially the forehead and patches on my cheeks and there was none. I've continued to use both the tone and gel cream for 4 weeks now and my skin has become more plump and  better in colour. Its not as dull or grey looking and literally no flaking on any areas of the face.

I've never once came across a skincare product to actually do what it says and treat dehydration quite like it.

Thus range is that little more expensive that your average brand that you would go for but they are every bit worth their money in my opinion.
It can be purchased in some salons and day spas or take a look here for more information and where to pick some up.

If you suffer with dehydration ibwoukd highly recommend it. Anyone who does have dehydration the cold weather and winds is only going to make it worse so now is the time to really treat it and prevent it from getting worse.

Let me know if you have picked this range up or plan on getting any of the products.

Beauty Bargain of the Week - Makeup Revolution Ultra Face Base Primer €6.45

So I recently picked up this AMAZING primer from Superdrug in the Square Shopping Centre in Tallaght.  Its only €6.45 which is a great price for such a great product.

I've tried and tested quite a few primers oveew the last year or so. As they are such an essential for everyday, going out makeup both for professional makeup artists and everyone in general I'm always on the hunt for a good high end and budget friendly primer...  well I think I have found the budget friendly one from Makeup Revolution.

When using a primer you only ever use a pea sized anount when applying primer.. otherwise too much almost does the opposite of a primers job. You always apply it before makeup and after you apply moisturiser. 
It acts a barrier between your skin and makeup. Making your makeup last longer.  It prevents any oil getting through onto your makeup giving you that oily look on the nose,  t-zone and the chin. It also gives the skin a flawless finish and base so as your foundation will glide onto the skin.... so that's why we ALL should be using a primer!!

This one is great. I didn't have any problems whatsoever with it.. my make up did not budge one bit.  No oily nose (which I always get) and I've also noticed my skin looks less dry or dehydrated when I remove my makeup.
Its ment to make your makeup last 24 hours.... now I dono about you but I don't wear my make up that long or sleep in makeup but from morning to night it doesn't budge!!

So if you're looking for a good quality budget friendly makeup primer then this is the one!! Makeup Revolution can be brought online from the link above or if you have a Superdrug store near you they also have a Makeup Revolution stand in most stores around the country. 

If you pick one up or plan on picking one make sure you let me know how you get on :)

Monday's Beauty Bargain - PS Volumising Ultra Black Mascara

So this Monday Beauty Bargain is ONLY €2!!! Yeah thats right €2!!
We all love long curling lashes without having to wear false lashes or semi permanent lashes on a day to day basis and want a good mascara that won't cost too much.

I've chosen Pennys/Primarks Volumising Ultra Black Mascara from the PS range.
It glides onto the lashes so easy with the mascara wand. It coats each lash because of the head of the wand has small ball like shaped silicone applicators instead of a brush. With this head of the wand it doesnt pick up too much product making it easy to coat the lashes in a nice dark mascara.

There is no smell, dryness or irritating feeling from the product itself which I love and I'm sure everyone will appreciate. With it being so cheap in price a lot of people can be sceptical about it irritating your eyes or it being no good but this I can vouch for :)

The packaging is nice too a lovely shade of purple which I like about it also. The is only the PS logo on the front keeping it simple and the type and size on the opposite size.

As you can see from the picture below ive applie it to my eye to show everyone what its like. (I have minimal eyeshadow on so as you can really see the lashes)
It has made my lashes really dark, full and longer looking because its coated all of my lashes. To be honest I didnt think I had that many eyelashes because I had been wearing individual occasional lashes for quite awhile so lost a lot of lashes from them. They have grown baxk but quitw fair in colour so this mascara really grabs and coats all of your lashes.

I would definitely recommend this mascara to Everyone so get out and pick one up. A lot of the PS range tend to sell out quite quickly when they have just been restocked so make sure you stock up when you are there :)

I will have more of the PS range up soon with details and pictures so keep an eye out :)

Let me know if you plan on picking one uo or already have :)

Beauty Bargain Of The Week - Deals Makeup Gallery Bronzer €1.49

Hi Everyone!!
So this Mondays Beauty Bargain Of The Week is..... Deals Makeup Gallery Bronzer in shade Medium.

I've spoke about this bronzer so much before at master classes, workshops and lessons. I've never come across such an amazing bronzer for only €1.49
The pigment in the powder bronzer is incredible along with its durability!
Its also a dupe for Mac's Give Me Sun bronzer I've shown you in one of the pictures below of them both side by side and there is literally no difference. Only difference is the price.

I have not stopped using this powder bronzer since I picked it up a couple of months ago. I use it everyday to contour on a day to day bases softly and also on a going out contouring look which would be a much stronger contouring look so its easy to use for both looks.

This bronzer can be picked up in any Deals store which are nationwide, because it is such a popular product they sell out quick when the stand is newly stocked up so keep and eye out and stock up when you're there.

Let me know if you have tried it or plan on picking one up!

Review: Perspirex Antiperspirant

I've been dying to get my hands on this or should I said my armpits ;)
Perspirex Antiperspirant is €9.99 and I picked it up in Boots

So let me tell you about this Amazing did I say Amazing? I ment Incredible roll on deodorant!!
I had heard sooo much about Perspirex but needed to believe it with my own eyes as everyone as we all know is different and products take differently on everyone.
This antiperspirant is ment to reduce sweating and odar. You apply it at night to fresh clean, dry skin every 2 to 3 days.
So I applied it the first night after having a shower its quite strong in smell but that only lasts half a minute at most. Its a little tacky until it dries like most roll on antiperspirants. It did sting a little but take my advice do not apply it after you have shaved because it will sting like hell!!

Now if your like me when you wear certain materials of clothing you automatically sweat even if your cold...like seriously do we really need our underarms to pull this stunt and always when your wearing light clothing?!
If you sweat when stressed, worried or just sweat in general then this baby is for you... So basically everyone needs this in their life!!

I've not stopped using it since the first night I tried it. The difference is crazy I've worn every item if clothing that makes me sweat for no reason to really test it out and I've not sweated at all while wearing  them!! Hard to believe I know!!
I have sweated a little when general sweating normally does occur but not not as much.

Now by using this it does not mean you just apply it and don't wash yourself for 2/3 days... You carry on as normal and and apply it on the second day if you need to apply it earlier than the third day.
You will sweat just not as much as you normally would.

As it reduces odar if you tend have that problem if it reduces the sweat I'm almost certain it would reduce odar quite a lot.

I cannot stress enough how incredible this is so make sure you get it and at least give it a try!!

I've also heard if you have excess sweet on your feet for instance in shoes or with the heat at the moment and not wearing socks with particular foot wear..... You can apply this to the soles of you're feet and it prevents it. In saying that I was wondering if would it also help sweaty palms.... Hhmmm interesting!! 

Let me know if you plan on getting it or already have it :)
