Beaury Bargain of The Week - Lipstick Holder

This weeks Beauty Bargain is from Dealz
For only €1.49 this acrylic lipstick hold 6 lipsticks.

This is ideal for sitting on top of dressing tables, in drawers if you and very organized and like all makeup hidden.

I picked up 2 of these but I will definitely be popping back to get more.
These would be lovely on shelves with nice little bits and bobs on the shelves too. 
Fairy lights from Penny's would look lovely around them too ☺

They don't always have to be for lipsticks you can also use them to hold brushes or lip liners.... So these are an ideal beauty bargain in my opinion.

Get to Dealz as soon as they restock the shelves because none of the beauty products last long in the store!!
Deals stores are nationwide so pop into your nearest one!!

Let me know if you plan on picking one up or already have ☺

The Rise Pharmacy

Hey everyone!!

So last week I popped out to The Rise Pharmacy in Unit 1 Woodpark, The Rise, Glasnevin, Dublin.
I had been chatting previously to the lovely Jennifer who works there and she invited me out to see the place.

The pharmacy itself is there 3 years already and stock many many products which I will show you, but firstly I just want to tell you about how I got... The pharmacy itself its spotless, lovely and clean and everyone is really friendly. Customers popped in while I was there and the staff couldn't do enough for them which I loved because there is nothing worse than feeling uncomfortable and rushed out of a shop.
Jennifer herself was really friendly, helpful and very bubbly person so we chatted for ages without even realising the time going bye. I would highly recommend anyone in the area either working, living near to pop in a have a look around. Wait until you see what they have in the store and what else is due to come soon to the pharmacy.....

Now as we all love out beauty products and essentials I took a few pictures to show you what they sell....

As you all know how much I love Sleek I was delighted to see they have Sleek in stock.. Blush, Highlight and contour palettes, and Brow kits.

SoSu is also available in store for all you SOSU fans out there... I can't wait to see

what shades The Rise will have in stock for Autumn/Winter. 

 for

Now I have to share with you the amount of tanning products they stock... Cocoa Brown, Dove, Sally Hansen and Rimell. Along with these brands they also stock tanning mitts, exfoiliators etc.

 

Along with all the general pharmacy items that pharmacy's have like hair colour, toiletries for men and women, femaine hygiene, shampoo and conditioner, shower gel, razors for men and women. The Rise had a nice selection of Skincare which I loved. Not many pharmacy's stock many skin care ranges.

As you can see there a great selection from La Roche Posay, Elave, Uriage, Aveeno, E45, Clarins, Nivea, Simple, Garnier plus many more.

While I was there the lovely Jennifer gifted me with this lovely hamper of La Roche Posay products to try which I will have a review up soon about.

 

 

 Now I'm not sure if many of you have heard about the Green Angel range before but The Rise stock it and I have to say its absolutely fab. Its like a holistic range of creams, exfoilators which I was also giving two samples to try... I will let you all know soon about them. The smell alone from the range was lovely, they smell like a range that would be in a luxury spa :)

 

 

Among the many ranges and products and items they also have this lovely Celtic Candles selection and my God the smells of them where just fab!! These will defiantly be added to my Christmas list.. Ideal for all candle lovers out there too!!

 

While I was in the store chatting to everyone Jennifer also told me they make hampers up for people in store which is a great idea for Christmas presents, birthdays and gifts. You can pick out your own items and have them made into a hamper or pick from some of the already made up in store ones.

 

 

 

 

 

I don't think there is anything in The Rise Pharmacy that you wouldn't want to pick up or add to your Christmas list, so I would suggest everyone pop in and take a look to see what they have. There was so much items and products to chose from, I couldn't put all of them up or this post would be flooded with pictures :)

They will also be getting in the new Flormar makeup range which is amazing and affordable so when its in store I will let everyone know.

 

The pharmacy are also doing a Christmas savings club so pop in and get some information about it.. its  great way to start saving for gifts for Christmas!!

 

If you do pop in make sure you say you heard about it from Lipstick, Glitter and Me :)

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 :)

Wednesday's How To Guide.... Mini Facial

Hi Everyone!!

So this Wednesday's How To Guide was chosen by you and it's on.... How To Do A Mini Facial

A good skincare regime is essential both for your skin and also for a good makeup application... As many of you may know I'm always talking about it at my Master classes.
Weather you take the time to treat yourself to a facial in a salon or at home by using products at home you should try and have a facial every 3 months if possible. In the mean time you can carry out your own Mini Facial at home once a week if you have the time.

Today I'm going to tell you how to do one and also showing you some products from the Ziaja range because they are budget friendly and I've used and still use many if their range. I find their range amazing... Now you can of course use you're own preference on brand or brands to use when doing a mini facial.

I've prices and example's of Ziaja products for a couple of different skin types.

So to start off with doing a facial you should use a cleanser to suit you're skavoiding ta couple k

 ( A cleaner will get right into the skin and treat and clean the skin.

Step 1..     Cleanse the skin twice... Once will remove any makeup or dirt on the skin.
The second cleanse will really work into the skin and will do its job.
*When cleansing the skin apply it to the whole face and neck and working in a circular motion massage for a minute or two into the skin. Remove with damp cotton wool, cotton pads, or a damp face cloth

(Do not use toner after cleaning as this will only close the pores and the cold temperature will also help in closing the pore)

Step 2..      Now that the face is clean and rid of any makeup and dirt you now remove any dead skin and deep clean the pores (remove blackheads, spots) using and enzyme peel or exfoliater.
This will alloy new fresh skin to come through leaving the skin looking fresh and feeling supple.

*Apply enzyme peel to damp skin all over the face and neck (avoiding the eyes)in a circular motion gently rub peel into the face for a couple of minutes. Leave for 10-15 minutes to soak into the skin (steam on the skin works better so doing this and then standing in the shower or in a kitchen when cooking) Rinse peel off with warm cotton pads, cotton wool or face cloth. 

Step 3..     Now that you have done the enzyme peel its time to treat any of your "problem areas" like sensitivity on cheeks, oily Tzone, wrinkles etc so I've listed a couple of examples of face masks in the image.

*Apply the mask to the face and neck avoidingtthe eyes. Leave it on for 10-15 minutes also and remove the same way as with the enzyme peel.. Making sure what you use is warm. 

Step 4..    Now that your almost done with doing a facial you use you're toner on the skin to remove any excess products and close the pores. App toner to ddamp cotton wool and in a downwards motion wipe all over face and neck. 

Once you have done all the 4 steps you can now apply your serum if you're using one before your day or night moisturizer. The ones your using now should be fine if their doing the job for you and treating the skin. You will notice an instant difference both to look at and how the skin feels. So make sure you try keep up the regime of once a week to keep the skin treated, protected and deeply cleansed. 

Thanks for reading and I hope you find this helpful for the next time you go to do a mini facial :)
