1 Reply


I was so delighted to receive these amazing lipsticks from the gorgeous people at Urban Decay. These are just three of the colours from the wonderful Vice range which consists of a whopping 100 colours! 


Here’s a quick swatch of them on my hand. I will post pics of them applied soon. 

L to R :

 Conspiracy: A metallic brown/plum colour gorgeous for a dark statement look, Autumn/Winter springs to mind.

Naked: A perfect nude/pink lipstick I can see this will be popular to accompany a dark smoky eye and a perfect bridal shade.

Menace: A bright,Deep pink which would be beautiful with soft defined eye make up. Gorgeous for a wedding, night out with the girls or going to the races. A very pretty pink. 

So far, my verdict is YES!!! The pigments are strong and the consistency is gorgeous and moisturising. 

Vice Lipsticks are €19.50 and are Available from Debenhams.ie And House Of Fraser Dundrum

Hot Lips from Charlotte Tilbury

I received these gorgeous lipsticks from Charlotte Tilbury and wanted to use them on make up applications to try them out before I did a blogpost. Here’s what Charlotte herself says about her new lipstick range.

Darlings, I always say lipstick empowers confidence – it’s happiness in a tube! My beautiful NEW HOT LIPS collection has been created in collaboration with 12 incredible, brilliant, hypnotising women for an incredible charity: Women for Women International! Featuring my revolutionary, iconic square-angled tip that is designed to mimic a lip brush, as well as my CEW award-winning formula enriched with Orchid Extract, and voluminising 3D pigments for cashmere-soft lips that look lit from within. 


Electric Poppy is a vibrant hot pink, it’s creamy texture feels gorgon on your lips and lasts longer than a satin finish lipstick. Gorgeous for girls who love to make a statement.​

​


Salma’s smouldering and sexy colouring is so enchanting that I wanted to bottle it! That natural deep-rose plum brings out her beautiful brown eyes, adding instant sultry Latin sex-appeal to anyone who wears it. The perfect addition to the alluring DOLCE VITA look!

Kim K W is a beautiful nude lipstick, less of an orange undertone than Nude Kate and versatile enough to suit most skin types. Perfect with a dark smoky eye and beautiful alone or with gloss on top.

Hot Lips are €30.00 and are available from Charlotte Tilbury online Here Or At Brown Thomas Here

Penneys have come up with the make up goods yet again!

This morning I received this cute delivery of their new gorgeous rose gold foundation brush and very sturdy make up brush holder. This holder is so well made and I think it would be perfect to protect your personal make up brushes when going on holidays.

The black brush holder will be available in July and the rose gold one in August for €6

The Foundation brush it feels so soft and silky, almost velvety, it’s great to give a light to medium coverage of foundation and is also excellent for blending cream contouring. It is available in July for only €4 and would be an amazing dupe for the more expensive ones available.
