Organic Surge


I was recently invited to an Organic Surge event in the fab Soder+Ko to show case some of the brands that are now available in Ireland, along with telling us about the amazing range.

Organic Surge is a natural skincare range that is created and developed from the highest quality of essential oils. They are kind enough to be used on many delicate skin types such as sensitive skin, eczema skins. They only use products that are kin to your skin, along with being suitable for vegetarians and are not tested on animals.
 The products from the range smell and feel amazing on the skin, some even seing instant effects which is great as this can be very hard to achieve with skin care products.



The evening itself was great. There was a great atmosphere at the event and everyone was very well looked after from both RDCommunications and Organic Surge.

We where all kindly gifted with a lovely goody bag with some of the Organic Surge products which I couldn't wait to try when I got home!! :)





I have been using the products I received on a daily basis since I received them so here's a little about them and how I found them.


Organic Surge Daily Care Comforting Hand & Nail Cream
Lavender Meadow
 
This hand cream is clinically proven to be kind to skin and suitable for Eczema prone skin. The essential oils and glycerine nourish and prevent moisture loss, soothe and protect your skin.
It does just that!! When you apply it to your hands they feel so soft almost instantly, the cream soaks in lovely so you are not left with a tacky residue left on the hands. Also the smell of lavender is just lovely without it being too over powering.
I personally have very dry skin on my hands so they have been super soft and the skin has improved greatly since using it.



Organic Surge Extra Care Brightening Hot Cloth Cleanser
 
This hot cloth cleanser is designed to remove dirt and impurities with the highest quality essential oils which will clean the skin along with rejuvenating the skin.
Orange and geranium oils are expertly blended with the exceptional damask rose flower oil to stimulate and hydrate, while aloe vera and shea butter moisturise and soothe.
 
So you massage this into dry skin and wash away with a warm cloth. This product feels lovely and creamy on the skin but wipes away very easily from the skin using your cloth. When wearing makeup I always do two cleanses with any cleanser to really clean the skin. With this I do the same and its a lovely cleanser to work with. My skin feels soft, smooth after and stays nice, fresh and bright looking in appearance. I have very dry/sensitive skin and this was lovely, it didn't irritate my skin at all or give me any redness as some can do this. I really liked it and will definitely be picking up more when its run out.
 
 
Organic Surge Extra Care Intensive Soothing Serum
 
This velvety serum restores radiance to dull and uneven complexions
Rejuvenate, Condition and Protect.
A serum is applied after your cleanser and before  moisturiser. It is designed to really treat the skin and help your moisturise di its job better.
I'm a big fan of serums and nearly everyone should be using them!! There are many different types so suitable for every skin type.
I've been applying this daily before my moisturiser, it soaks in very quickly which I really love about it. It glides onto the skin and leaves the skin feeling lovely and smooth. It has brightened up my skin really well sadly with having dry or sensitive skin it can some times look dull or uneven in colour. A little goes a long way with this product so only use a pea sized amount.
 
 
 
Organic Surge Daily Care Refreshing Face Wash
 
This gentle face wash rinses away impurities and makeup without stripping your skin of it protective moisture.
It is also suitable for sensitive skin and has pure Rose Geranium essential oils.
 
Now I've not used this product yet because I chose to use the Hot Cloth Cleanser first, I didn't want to mix the two as I wouldn't be really testing these both properly then and I always like to give everyone an honest review as to how I get on with products on my skin.
If it is anything like the Hot Cloth cleanser then I have no doubt in my mind that it will be just as good.
 
If you are looking to pick up any of the range it will be available in pharmacy's nationwide very soon and it will be a very affordable brand but has the luxury a quality of a high end brand.
 
For anyone looking to pick up some of the products now Beauty Boutique are stocking the full range and are kindly giving EVERYONE FREE DELIVERY WORLDWIDE AND THREE FREE SAMPLES
All you have to do is use the CODE: Glitter at the checkout  :) :)
 
 
Let me know if you are planning on picking any of the range up or already have :)

Physicians Formula event in Lloyd's Pharmacy


Last week I attended a Physicians Formula makeup demo event to celebrate them being launched into Lloyd's Pharmacy in the Ashleaf Shopping Centre.
Physician Formula are an American Cosmetics Brand who are amazing. I've used a few of the products prior to the event and still do such as a highlighter and blush and both come in a compact type of packaging with a mirror or brush built into the really pretty packaging.
The packaging is a complete eye turner and if you are anything like me who is drawn to packaging alone you will love the range. The quality, durability and pricing is both brilliant and reasonable which is also a winner in my opinion!!




So at the event the lovely Emma Farrell who owns efcreativestudios.com demo'd a makeup look using the Physicians Formula brand on the fab Holly Carpenter 
Emma went into great detail and talked everyone through the look really well. The do's and don'ts in applying makeup along with answering some great questions along the way.



The brand itself is cruelty free and suitable for all skin types especially sensitive skin....yep I said it even sensitive skin and speaking from and super super sensitive person it does not irritate my skin in anyway!!


 
Here is the finished look on Holly.... How fab is her makeup :)

 
From one Makeup Artist to another Emma done a fab job on the makeup look on Holly. She went for a soft smokey eye that is suitable for everyone because its not too heavy on the eyes and soft contouring.
For the eyes Emma used these amazing glitter cream shadows which can be used a base to hold the shadow on top in place and intensify the colour also.
These pots come in a set of three and €16.90 the shimmer pigment in them are amazing!!
 
The event itself was great I really enjoyed the evening and all the staff at Lloyd's couldn't be anymore helpful and super friendly.
There was a table set up for refreshments and nibbles which was so pretty and I couldn't resist helping myself to a drink from Sprout & Co. A cake pop and cookies
They didn't last long when I got home :)
 
Physicians Formula kindly gifted everyone with a goody bag with lots of their products which was too kind of them
Happy Booster Bronzer €15.90
Shimmer Strips Eyeshadow & Bronzer €16.90
Smokey Shadow Shimmer Strips €15.90
Shimmer Strips & Liner €15.90
Sexy Booster Lip Gloss €13.90
 
All reviews on these products will be up soon but in the mean time to see some looks using these products and some of my other Physicians Formula products head over to my Snapchat: lipstickglitz to see daily looks and tips and tricks using these products.
 
Thank you for taking the time to read all about how I got on at such a lovely event and evening with great company. Make sure you pop into Llyod's Pharmacy as they are nationwide and stock lots more beauty products, skincare, tanning along with general pharmacy products. They do have some amazing pre made hampers in stock for Christmas which are perfect for gifts for every age group. Also thank you to Emily from the Publicity Loft for inviting me and being so lovely on the night :)
