December Goodies

Who doesn't like getting some goodies that they've had on their wishlist for so long? whether it is from yourself as a little present or from loved ones,we are all enthusiastic to dive into our new products and give them some testing hehe. But nothing is better than giving people presents and seeing the smiles on their faces(hopefully!)

Due to it being both my birthday and christmas in December i was a very very lucky girl! Being a makeup fanatic i love receiving some beauty bits and was so excited to try them out. So witout waffling too much i guess we'll get into the goodies.

Urban Decay Naked 2 Pallete
WOWZA,WOWZA,WOWZA..I was so happy when i recieved this pallete and i nearly died when i opened the palette, i never realised how amazing it is and how beautiful all the colours are. They are so pigmented and just well worth every cent. You also get a double sided brush and a sample of four of their eyeshadow primers. Urban Decay eyeshadows are definitely my most used and my absolute favourite eyeshadows ever! Ive had two 'Naked 1 Palletes' and they are both well well used!

Benefit Cutie Cravings Gift Set
This is definitly one of my top three things i ever got from benefit! It has everything youd want and need, almost like a sample of their top sellers! It Contains the amazing 'Theyre Real Mascara', the 'Porefessional Primer'. the 'Hola Bronser' which is just flawless on all levels of flawlessness, the lipstick called 'Fauxmance'. It Also contains 4 eyeshadows which are displayed below..

Inglot Eyeshadow and Eyeshadow Palette
I was so happy to finally try out these eyeshadows since they are all the 'must haves' in Ireland at the moment, now these i got for myself! I had a few ideas going in there what shades i wanted but when i got there it was so packed i kind of freaked out! But the shades i got are just so perfect and very 'me' i should say! i got 3 warm shades and 1 cool toned shade, the swatches are below as always! These shadows are just €6 each and this amazing pallete was just €15. The colours are so pigmented and just mind blowingly amazing!

NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil (French Fries Frites)
All the hype about these are so unbelievably true, I have already fallen head over heels in-love with the colour 'Milk' its perfect for getting that true to colour representation of the colour you're using and also it works as the best primer, especially for us oily eyelid girls like myself. This colour is perfect for using all over the eyelid with just a sweep of a bronze colour to set it in place, i feel like tanya burr when i wear it.

NYX Lipliner in (MAUVE 831)
I have never been one for a lipliner, I love just being able to throw on my lipstick and not have to sit there and outline my lips. But recently i've been doing it and it just really gives a shape to my lips and shows the true shape of them. It also makes the lipstick last way longer and this colour is a trye 'Kylie Jenner' colour.

Oriflame Lipstick in (Honey Chestnut)
As you can see this packaging is actually to die for, it is absolutely gorgeous and it is just such an amazing colour, It is so moisturizing and yet it still has an outstanding colour pay off, i just want to buy the whole line because the packaging is so pretty and of course the product aint to shabby either ;)

Brittney Spears Perfume in Midnight
This is my scent, no matter what perfume i start to purchase i will always come back to this! It lasts all day and just smells amazing! Its more of a fruity scent and it is always on sale during christmas and valentines! Definitely worth a smell.

Soap and Glory Irresistibubble Gift Set

Now i haven't tried any of these products yet, but i have heard amazing things about this body butter and shower wash! I am so excited to try these this weekend, i love the smell of sugar and candy so im so looking forward to smelling like a bag of candy!

Hope ye enjoyed this blogpost,

MAKEUP CRUSH MONDAY!

WHAT IS MAKEUP CRUSH MONDAY? Well..I've been wanting to start a series for awhile now. And just last night i was trying to think of something with a catchy name, but not something that is very obvious or generic. I also wanted to pick a day which i had to do these posts maybe once every month or even more frequently depending on what product i feel fits the description.

For this series i was thinking that i would maybe get a product that has been talked about in the beauty world and try them out or even just show you a product i have been loving and give a honest review on how i feel it works with me, whether it being a makeup product, skincare or even hair care, anything beauty related.

So without further a due, for this blogpost i thought id start with a purchase i made this week but i did have the sample size before but this week i bought the bigger size! Its the they're real mascara. In this blogpost i will also be giving a before and after picture, as you may already know I have blonde eyelashes, they are long and full but because they are blonde you don't really see that.

The thing i absolutely 'lovee' about this mascara is the fact that it's a rubber wand so i feel the bristles of the wand really get into the roots of my lashes and don't just coat them which is what happens with most mascaras, with other mascaras the lashes are coated but the roots are showing through as a lighted colour. But with the they're real mascara the formula is quite wet so it coats the lashes really well and this elongates them and with a second coat the lashes become thicker and thicker.

The top of the brush has this round effect with smaller little mascara spikes i guess you could call them which make it such a breeze to get into the inner corner lashes. This addition to the mascara wand makes coating the bottom lashes also very easy and you can actually coat them without getting mascara all over your under eye. Nothing i hate more is having this big mascara wand with product on it, how do companies expect you to first get into the roots of your lashes and secondly coat your tiny bottom lashes with such a big wand.

The lasting power of this mascara is by far the most amazing thing about this product, with other mascara's like my covergirl one and the miss sporty ones the lasting power is just for 3 or 4 hours and then my lashes are still covered but its like there's not much product on them. But with this, especially when im in college for 9 hours even more some days and the fact that the only makeup i wear is mascara i really like to have it lasting atleast 6 hours and by god this does. It's truly a god sent!!!

Before

After

Just one coat! Amazing results already.

2-3 coats. 

As you can see there is a major difference in my lashes, (FYI: I do have some leftover mascara from taking it off for this blogpost) and this mascara is truly worth every bit of hype and the price. I would totally recommend everyone to go out and try this mascara, its a god sent for me and i couldnt go without using it, nothing else compares in my opinion!
