Primark/Penneys got their Glow 

Leave a reply


This beautiful box of shimmery wonderfulness arrived a couple of weeks ago and I’ve been positively glowing ever since! 

Here’s the spiel from Penney’s PR about the gorgeous products I have fallen in love with: 

My favourite products from this magical box so far have been The metallic nail polishes and the Bronze Body Stick which I used on a models arms, shoulders and decollatage recently for a magazine cover shoot, she looked incredible anyway but this body bronze product gave me the shimmery glow I wanted to achieve almost instantly and quickly which is essential when working within a limited time frame. And the incredible news is, it’s only €6! 

Grandiose Liner & Grandiose Extréme Mascara

Leave a reply

A couple of days ago I was invited to Lancôme head office in Dublin,Ireland where I was treated to a sneak preview of the amazing Grandiose Liner & Grandiose Extréme Mascara. The gorgeous Lancôme make up artist Laura Pye demonstrated the liners and mascara on the beautiful Michele McGrath.

​​
My first impression of the Grandiose Liner was an instant desire to click,click the liner applicator which enables the user to slant the brush with a single click. No more polling yourself in the eye when trying to create a beautifully lined eye, Lancôme has come up with the genius idea and it didn’t disappoint. 

The liner consistency is fluid, so no dragging upon application and it dries quickly so no transfer to your eyelids when you open your eyes to take a look. It dries matte and the colour payoff is excellent. 

This would be super for anyone not confident with liner as the applicator is designed with revolutionary design making it so user friendly. It is available from Brown Thomas Today and is available in Three colours, Carbon Black, Deep Brown & Sapphire Blue.

The Grandiose Extréme Mascara has the most amazing Matte Black packaging and inserted black rose in the silicon handle, so pretty. 

The swan like neck of the mascara wand and tightly knit bristles of the brush make application so much easier and quicker too as one sweep covers every lash perfectly. 

The mascara is a firm favourite in the beauty world and I can see why now that I have tried it out.And I love how the mascara doesn’t flake or drop throughout the day. 

The Grandiose Extréme Mascara is available from Brown Thomas today too.

And then available nationwide from July 1st. 

Grandiose Liner RRP €29.00

Grandiose Extréme Mascara RRP €31.00

Product list for Confetti Magazine Cover Shoot 

Leave a reply

  I have had so many mails asking me what products I used on the current cover of Confetti Magazine so I have detailed it all here for you. 

I wanted to create a fresh,pretty, youthful and sophisticated make up look for the cover shoot with Grace. Here’s a product list and how I achieved it. 
  
Face:

Her skin is perfection so I kept the foundation application light mixing Charlotte Tilbury Wonderglow with her Magic Foundation, this gave Graces skin a glowy yet flawless finish. 

  

  Contouring: was light using light brush movements to avoid that harsh look. 

Blush:
I chose Cheek to Chic “Love is the drug” from Charlotte Tilbury for the blusher as this gave her a pop of colour on her cheeks without it looking too rosy! 

  Eyes:

 I used the Sophisticate palette from Charlotte Tilbury and Champagne Diamonds eyeshadow pencil to give Graces eyes definition with a shimmer effect on the inner corner of the eyes to open them up. 
 Edit    
    
Liner was understated keeping product close to the top lashline and applying Charlotte Tilbury eye cheat to the waterline really opened the eyes up. Next I applied some mascara and some individual lashes with duo glue to add volume to lashes. Mascara was again added to blend lashes to individual ones & lighly applied to lower lashes. 

Lips:
Lip Magic to prep and moisturise lips
Liner: Pink Venus lip cheat

Lipstick: colour of youth was applied to blend liner and give a flush of colour rather than a structured lip look, keeping it youthful and pretty.

All Charlotte Tilbury cosmetics and 
Using Blank Canvas Cosmetics Brushes.

  
I used individual lashes from Penneys to add subtle volume to Grace’s lashes.

  
Cocoa Brown Golden Goddess oil was applied to any skin on show, this stuff really is amazing and smells gorgeous too.

TAN ORGANIC COMPETITION

The lovely folk at TAN ORGANIC have given me two beautiful products for my gorgeous followers to help you

“Love your skin for Valentines Day” 

First up is the beautiful oil I discovered on a shoot last week, and haven’t stopped talking about how quickly it was absorbed into the beautiful Jo’s skin, how divine it smells and how many uses it has.

TAN ORGANIC, MULTI USE DRY OIL

   

Moisturise every day with Tan Organic Moisturising Dry Oil after your shower to prolong your TanOrganic Tan.

To ensure a perfect finish to foundation MIX a drop of Tan Organic Moisturising Dry Oil with your foundation, it will glide smoothly on your skin and give a lovely dewy finish.

Sprinkle some Tan Organic Moisturising Dry Oil in the palm of your hand and gently ruffle your hair for a natural effect and help protect from environmental damage.

Pour a few drops of Tan Organic Moisturising Dry Oil into your bath for a blissful moment & hydrating treat for your skin.

Tan Organic Moisturising Dry Oil can be used on the hands and nails and can also be used as a non-greasy cuticle oil.

TAN ORGANIC TAN ERASE 

   

The secret to a perfect golden tan is all in the preparation. Exfoliation lies at the heart of healthy skin. Exfoliation involves the removal of the oldest dead skin cells on the skin’s outermost surface, the epidermis, and has been used for many years to help maintain healthy skin.

Tan Erase gently exfoliates the skin by removing the dead layers of skin cells creating a closer shave and leaves the skin feeling luxuriously supple and soft – the perfect base to apply your tan.

Gentle on skin

Exfoliate once or twice a week

Ensures streak, patch free application

Leaves skin looking healthy and smooth
