Youngblood Ultimate Concealer

Youngblood Ultimate Concealer €27

This Concealer has a sheer coverage and used by some of the top makeup artists. 
It gives you a flawless completion while hiding dark circles and blemished from its light reflecting formula. 
With it containing vitamins it also soothes and brightens the delicate eye area. 

It contains Jojoba seed oil, honey suckle, while also being paraben free so it's suitable on sensitive skins, anyone prone to rosacea, psoriasis and acne prone skin. 

I've never used any of the Youngblood Cosmetics products before so was dying to get my hands on some of the products! 
When using concealers I like them to be nice and soft and a creamy texture without creasing while also having a long durability..... I'm not half fussy am I?! 

This concealer has a lovely consistency to it and nice and creamy without it being too thick. It's so easy to work with the blending on it is amazing. Very little work is put into using this product! 

It sits lovely on the skin too I had no crease at all. Always make sure you set your under eye concealer straight after applying to prevent any creasing anyway but as time goes on it can sometimes crease... this doesn't!! 
I use it to highlight as well. I got the Medium shade and when wearing tan it's fab as a highlighter shade. 

 

I'm wearing it this pic both under eyes, for highlighter on the nose, Cupid's bow and forehead and as a primer on the lid. I also carved out the brows with it in this makeup look. 
It's lovely as an eye primer as I'm super sensitive and can find some irritate my eyes. 

My makeup does last all day when wearing it both on the eyes and face so the durability is great. 
I'll definitely be picking up more of the 
Youngblood products. I've heard so much about their contour and highlight palette I reckon that will be next on the list! 

They are available from selected pharmacys nationwide or from the link above.

Ziaja Argan Oil Body Butter

I'm a big fan of Ziaja, they are a great skincare range. I suffer with dry/sensitive skin and find it sooo hard to get a moisturiser than WON'T irritate my skin...
Last year I stumbled across Ziaja in a pharmacy and picked some of it up.... Within a week of using it I was in love with the range!!

The range itself is budget friendly and comes in many many ranges for adults and children, from skincare to hair care.

When it comes to the cold Winter weather we all need that extra bit of protection on our skin and during these months I switch to the Argan Range.
It has natural Argan oils in the range so its that bit stronger in putting moisture back into the skin and suitable for sensitive/irritated skin.
It almost acts like a waterproof film on the skin so as the wind,rain and extreme cold and heat won't get in and effect the skin.
Heating from air conditioning systems and radiators cause havoc on the skin because its an intense heat and going from the cold into the heat isn't good on the skin.

This Argan Oil Body Butter is a Godsend!!! I apply it morning and night and to my hands once or twice throughout the day and my God the difference in my skin. I don't have the redness on the skin we all get in the Winter. My skin isn't dry or scaly.
Its plump and healthy looking.

This cream is a WINTER MUST HAVE in my opinion and with it being only €7.99 (220ml) a little goes a long with this product too so it will last quite awhile too.
The smell is AMAZING without it being to over powering on the skin... I hate creams that smell too strong.
Most pharmacys nationwide stock Ziaja but if not you can get it from Original Beauty online and you will find ALL the ranges there.

EVERYONE SHOULD BE USING THIS FOR THE WINTER !!!

As always if you have tried any of the range or plan on picking it up let me know how you get on :)

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 :)
