My 2015 Beauty Favourites

Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation This is and will probably always be my favourite foundation. It's full coverage, long lasting and gives an absolutely flawless finish. It has never let me down and is the only foundation I'd use for a big occasion or night out. Available in Debenhams for approx €37 Marc Jacobs Decadence You'd nearly buy this for the bottle alone! But the perfume smells great too!! MAC Faux (Lipstick) This MAC shade has often been named as one of Kylie Jenners favourites.  It's the perfect shade for day or night and one that will allow you to slightly overdraw your lips without looking too ridiculous! Catrice Eyebrow Kit Look at the state of it....no lid, no bottom part, but it's still going strong! Every eyebrow this year, whether it was on fleek or not, was a result of this bargain kit. I might even splash out in the new year and treat myself a new one :) Get yours for €4.49 in Penneys Collection Liquid Eyeliner Another product that I cannot live

L'oreal Infallible Matte Foundation Review

Image
If you haven't heard by now my ultimate favourite foundation has to be Estee Lauder's Double Wear . I can't help but compare every other foundation I try to it, and I always find myself going back to Double Wear for big occasions or specials events. But at €34-€38 a bottle I just can't justify wearing it everyday. pic from simplybethany.com In my hunt for a product that gives me the same flawless coverage, is just as easy to apply and will last all day I decided to try L'Oreal's Infallible Matte , which is way more purse friendly at €12.29 in  Boots . I used it with Flormar's Illuminating Primer  (approx €11) as a base, and let's cut to the chase....it was the perfect combo!!! But before you start running to the shop to get it, remember my skin is oily(ish) so this foundation mightn't be great for dry skin, but there is a non matte version as well :) As for how the foundation worked out, I found it applied quite easily, it did take a bit of extra pro

Christmas Tag

Thanks to Lisa from Cuddles and Contouring who tagged me in this Christmas themed post, there's no way I'd say no to writing about one of my favourite times of the year! 1. What's your favourite Christmas movie? My favourite Christmas movie is without a doubt Home Alone 2! But more recently me and my Mam have been loving those made for TV movies that are on the shitty channels you get with your Sky box. They're so cheesy but we can't resist watching them! 2. Do you open your presents on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day? Sorry now.....who in their right mind opens presents on Christmas Eve (except for Christmas Eve pj's of course)?! We always open our presents first thing Christmas morning! When we were younger we'd be up at the crack of dawn begging my parents to let us open them, but now we're that bit older we give ourselves a bit of a lie in! 3. Do you have a favourite Christmas memory? I don't have one memory that sticks out, but the best memories

I'll do my best to to have a good mix of present ideas.... but let's be honest I like a lot of makeup :) x 1st December - Pretty Palettes Palettes....so many pretty colours all in one place.

Charlotte Tilbury Dolce Vita Palette - buy here 2. Inglot Christmas Palette - buy here   3. The Pippa Palette - buy here 2nd December - Kinvara Cleansing Oil If you're looking for a decent stocking filler or a Kris Kindle present this Kinvara Cleasning Oil will go down well with anybody!
