My laser hair removal journey with Therapie Clinic

Hello my loves,

I hope you are all well!

So as many of you know I am currently receiving Laser hair removal from Therapie clinic and I have gotten a lot questions about the treatment ranging from the price, to the pain, and everything in-between! And all the questions I am getting are the exact same questions I had before I started the treatment myself.

*Q&A* Image 4-layer Face Lift peel with Therapie Clinic | Level 2 Peel details

Hi my Loves,

I have been so unwell the past few weeks hence my absence over here, I swear I feel I have had a very unfortunate 2016/17 - here's hoping to a healthier 2018.

 I am back today to give you all an update after my my latest face peel from Therapie Clinic - because if you thought my skin was good after my first peel - WAIT till you see what my skin is like now! My skin has never looked so good and has not been this consistently good for years.

I am going to link my previous post on my first Image 4 Layer Face-Lift peel here so you can get all the in-depth details of the whole process.
The amazing thing about face peels is that each time you get them you see improved results - your skin just gets better and better.

(2 days after my second peel with no makeup - I look tired because I was so sick :( )

Rimmel Foundation Face off! | Which one is right for you?

Hi my Loves,

One of my most favourite things to buy when it comes to makeup is foundation. I love to create a perfect base because to me, that is your canvas for everything else.

Usually, I am a higher end foundation gal - it's the one makeup product that I do like to invest money in but I am always on the hunt for drugstore or chemist makeup that matches up to my higher price range foundation.

Rimmel has a very good offering when it comes to foundations - probably one of the best selections when it comes to drugstore brands. It can be a little overwhelming picking a foundation in Boots or Superdrug mainly because you can't pick up a sample 9/10 times so you have to go on guessing in store how it feels on the back of your hand or wrist and lets face it, that can often be very inaccurate.

Today I'm going to talk to you all about Rimmel foundations; let you know which ones I love, what skin type they are best suited to and what the finish is like so hopefully you can use this as a reference to make your foundation shopping that bit easier.

BLACK FRIDAY DISCOUNT CODES | 2017

Hi my Loves,

Black Friday is almost here! Although I feel it's nearly been going on the whole week! All shops are trying to out deal each other - which is great for us!

What I love about Black Friday is that mostly all the stock discount is new season; stock that would never usually make it into a sale - so you can really nab yourself an amazing bargain!

Iconic Bronze tanning Lotion | Review

Hi my Loves,

I wanted to chat with you today and give you my thoughts about a tan I have been loving and using over the past few months. If you follow me on snapchat this won't be a surprise to you as I have mentioned it a few times there.

The tan I am talking about is Iconic Bronze and it has quickly made itself into my top 5 favourite tans so it definitely deserves a review.

Fenty Beauty Collection REVIEW | What I really think!

Hi my Loves,

HiSmile Teeth Whitening Kit | Review + Before & After

Hi my Loves,

I hope you are well!

Something I get asked a lot is how I keep my teeth white; and I am always super flattered by this because I wouldn't consider myself to have the whitest teeth in the world. I am always on the hunt for what products will make my teeth as white as they can be (without damaging them or causing sensitivity). So when HiSmile contacted me to ask me if I would like to try one of their teeth whitening kits I said yes in a heartbeat!

Hi my Loves,

I hope you are all well!

Today I want to chat to you all and give you the low-down on the gorgeous facial I had done in Thérapie Clinic last Saturday because I literally had so many questions when I popped up a picture of my skin on my Instagram after the facial!

My Current Fave Sheet Masks | Garnier Moisture Bomb Tissue Mask collection

Hello my Loves,

So you know me - I AM SKIN CARE JUNKIE. 

Honestly, I think that Skincare is probably one of my favourite thing to spend my money on - nothing makes me happier than good skincare.

And when it comes to face masks - I love me a good face mask, especially if it hydrates my skin and gives me that celebrity-esque "I-just-had-a-facial" glow. And this is why I love sheet masks.

Yes, they can serve other purposes other than hydration and moisturizing depending on the one you pick - but that is my favourite use and benefit from a sheet mask.

How I get rid of Skin Texture | the Secret Ingredient

Hi my loves,

My favourite Cosmetic Glitters

Hi my loves,

I wanted to get this post done up for you all because I am constantly asked where I get the glitters that I use in all my looks from.

I'm a glitter bomb.

Crown Brush 35 Colour Rose Gold Palette | Review & Swatches

Hi my Loves,

I wanted to review & swatch the Crown Brush 35 colour Rose Gold eyeshadow palette for you all today. This palette was bought for me by my mam as a Christmas present and since then it has been one of my most reached for and most used palette.

Every time I have mentioned or used this palette I have gotten LOADS of questions about the palette and you guys have asked me if it is similar to Morphe palettes because honestly they do look similar.

First off, here is what the Crown Brushes Rose Gold palette looks like - she is a beauty isn't she! This was purchased straight from crownbrushes.ie and cost €29. 

35 Rose Gold Palette

As a huge Rose Gold lover- it's my favourite colour for jewellery - the name alone had me at hello, but the colour selection sealed the deal. I could create a dream palette this would be it - the colours are exactly what I look for. Warm browns, some peach, rich gold & bronze shimmers, pops of reds - I adore this spectrum of colours. 

At €29 each shadow in this palette works out at 83 cent - WHICH IS A STEAL!

Formula wise I am absolutely impressed with this palette. The shimmer shades are so buttery & pigmented. Two issues brands struggle with when making shadows is that the shimmery shadows have a lot of fall out and the matte shades are not pigmented enough and are scratchy. Whilst I do like the matte shades, one or two of them especially in the lighter shades were hard to build pigment on - but every shimmer shade was consistent.

You also get a great selection of colours in this  palette and there is a good balance of both matte and shimmers allowing you to create multiple looks just using one palette.

Lets get on to the questions I have gotten about this palette being similar to Morphe (namely their 35O palette). 16/21 (76%) of the ingredients in the Morphe 35O palette are the same as the Crown brushes Rose Gold palette and the ingredients that are different are things such as Kaolin (which is a clay & is in the 35O palette) and Lanolin (Lanolin helps to form an emulsion & possesses adhesive characteristics - in the 35O).

I have heard rumors that Morphe private labels from Crown Brushes (meaning that Crown make the palettes and brands like Morphe pay to put their name on them) - but honestly that is just something I have heard and I cannot comment on the authenticity of it. 

I would think however, due to the ingredient similarities that there is some type of correlation. 

The colour scheme in both palettes in very similar - after careful studying what it seems to me is that the majority of the colours in the palettes are the exact same but they are arranged differently which is what tricks the eye. 

I can't comment on the quality of the Morphe 35O palette as I do not own it, so the one I would be recommending to you guys to go out and grab is the Crown Brush Rose Gold Palette as it is the one I have tried, tested and loved! I think you guys will love this palette and get SO much use out of like I have!

With Love from,
