Got the Naked 3 palette and Perversion mascara (also Urban Decay) from himself for Valentines. Looking forward to trying out 3 more, especially with it having more pinky shades compared to 1 & 2. Liking the mascara so far, it was badly needed after I was clinging to my Benefit Bad Gal sample for too long. I do have a love/hate relationship with mascara though as my lashes are quite long already so can be a messy experience.
With the offers on in Boots lately I picked up the Rimmel Lasting Finish Nude foundation in Ivory. Had enough points to get it free. Thought it would be nice to use as a daytime foundation but it seems too yellow toned for my skin. If anyone could recommend a nice natural, pink toned foundation for daytime wear, please do let me know
Also got the Rimmel Lasting Finish primer, it the first primer I have purchased and am liking it so far. My foundation seems to go on nicely over it, where I would have only used moisturiser before.
Neglected my nails for so long, I treated myself to Wet N Wild base coat and NYC's Park Ave which is a lovely light brown/ mink colour.0 -

I bought it as well during the week purely because my Bourjois had run out and the Rimmel was on offer so I said I'd give it a try. I found it very thick and heavy compared to Bourjois. It's alright for the moment, but I'll go back to Bourjois.0 -

I don't know much about the Maybelline foundations but I know they're too pink for me to wear so that could be somewhere to look for a shade match :P I know the regular SuperStay is quite full coverage but not sure about anything else.0 -

Its a lovely, balmy, creamy texture and very moisturising, while removing all my make up easily. Its also a hot cloth cleanser (my favourite kind) which means less messing about.
This was my 3rd try at a Lush cleanser, I had previously used Herbalism which I found very drying and a horrible consistency. Ultrabland is definitely my favourite Lush product, bar maybe the toothy tabs and the lip scrub.
Its very reasonably priced, gentle on my skin, and very moisturising. I can't recommend it enough.
I used to love Ultrabland too, haven't gotten it in a while though. I only really used it for taking off my make-up, been using coconut oil recently and it's brilliant at removing mascara and all without too much rubbing
Do you find it heavy as a general cleanser? I have oily combination skin so I'm not sure if it'd give me that squeaky clean feeling I usually look for.0 -

I got the white version of these and have been using them for a few weeks...mine absolutely stunk of paint at first - I gave them a good wash and it did get rid of most of the smell.
Other than that I really like them - I have a pretty simple makeup routine though so half them wont really be used. I found that there was no really suitable for applying powder but have a real techniques brush I use for this anyway.0 -

I found it the same tbh, I hadn't used the original Lasting Finish but had heard it is a heavy coverage so thought this might be lighter. Love Bourjois healthy mix, just feels so light on the skin, even moreso compared to the Rimmel foundation. Might chance it for daytime if all else failsaisoconnor wrote: »I don't know much about the Maybelline foundations but I know they're too pink for me to wear so that could be somewhere to look for a shade match :P I know the regular SuperStay is quite full coverage but not sure about anything else.
Thanks very much ais. Maybelline always seems to be one brand I forget about, even though I bought a nice concealer of there's lately that does the trick haha. Will be sure to check them out next time I'm out shopping 0 -

I got the Revlon colourstay foundation in Buff and it's such a close match for my skin I'm delighted Had tried a couple of Rimmel and a Vichy lately and everything was too dark so it's great to find one light enough �� 0

Main thing I initially found it good for was evening out skin tone and minimizing pores, doesn't really do much for scars by itself. However, I intermittently use glycolic peels on my face and found that used in combination the Redermic really helps you get the most out of the peels. It's definitely not an overnight thing, but over the course of a few months I can really see a difference. You only need a tiny bit so it's actually pretty good value. I got mine in September and still have just under half the tube left.
That's great, thanks! My scars would be more of the red variety than pitted, so I'm hoping it'll do the job 0 -

I bought these brushes some months back in late 2014.
They're brilliant!
It took about 3-4 weeks for the order to arrive.
No customs as they are below the €22 threshold.
Would recommend them highly & the seller was excellent.
I actually ordered 3 lots of them, 2 for me & one for my Mum! 0 -

Went into Boots earlier & they had buy one get one half price on makeup - I couldn't resist a little treat!
L'Oreal Infallible 24HR Matte Foundation
Total impulse buy, hadn't read anything about it and now that I've taken it home it may be a bit too dark (even though it was the lightest shade they had). The lady at the counter said they'd only put them out last week so must be a new launch.
Had to come back to rave about this foundation - it's fantastic! It's probably not for you if you hate feeling your makeup on your face as it is a bit heavy but it hasn't slid off my nose once. It's easily going to replace Double Wear for me at about third of the price.
(Also the pic is of a different foundation but from what I can see online it's possibly the US version of the 24HR Matte.)0 -

Anyone here try the L'oreal Infallible Mattifying primer?
I got it a few weeks ago and have used it nearly every day and it is useless. Its not in any way mattifying, its just a clear, silicone feeling primer that does nothing.
My foundation doesn't look better, last long, go on easier etc or anything with it. I'm very disappointed.
Also not a fan of the L'Oreal true match foundation, its quite a light coverage but if I want to build it up it just tends to wear off quicker and slide around the center of my face. I need to mix it with another foundation for it to give more than light coverage and last a few hours.
Also not a fan of the double wear light, on my skin it just seems to set and look powdery and cakey. It lasts well though.
Loving the Maybelline dream fluid touch, its gives light-medium coverage but it is buildable however it does "stick" to the sides of my nose/nostrils and can look cakey, even with a light layer and no extra product for more coverage.
I'm coming to the end of my Maybelline fit me concealer and I've noticed that it creases under my eyes and around my nose. Never had this happen before. Can anyone recommend a good, preferably cheap concealer that has good (medium-full) coverage that isn't too difficult to find? Can buy online if needed. I don't use my concealer for highlighting, only concealing my dark circles! Not a fan of the Collection lasting perfection, its too cakey for me!
Got a gorgeous Catrice matte lip cream in the colour "never leave coral reef", its not a coral colour, its a gorgeous pink colour so not sure why its called what it is. Its so creamy and pigmented and not at all drying on my lips.
Anyone know if they are a limited edition?
Here's a pic of it from Miss-different-89.blogspot.de

Do Sephora ship to Ireland no? I thought I heard somewhere that they do? Am trying to get my hands on Elizabeth and James perfume Nirvana White but can't get it anywhere that ships to Ireland
They ship to the UK and you can use a parcel forwarding service like parcel motel to forward it on to Ireland. It's generally not worth it tho, delivery is expensive and they won't ship half of the brands they stock to Europe

I have a new favourite foundation
NARS All Day Luminous Lightweight Foundation. I got it in the US after the Sephora girl applied it for me and it looked amazing but when I got it home to Ireland it seemed an awful lot of effort to apply it!
It contains no oil so you need to give it a good thirty second shake before you apply. One pump does your entire face but you need to warm it up on your fingertips first. NARS recommends you start around the nose and work your way outwards, patting the fnd action on with your fingers.
It looks amazing on though, so natural. Great coverage without being cakey, it's like my face has been gently airbrushed. I love it.0 -
