W7 Camoflague Concealor Palette Review/Swatches


I don't usually like doing negative reviews but, I paid for this product and its just...basically crap. 
I spotted it while browsing the CaraPharmacy.com website while they were having a beauty sale. I got a bit click happy adding products to my basket and only added this as it was only about €2.50.

Rimmel 1000 Kisses Lip Tint in Perpetual Plum


I've had my eyes on these for ages now.
I didn't fancy paying €7.45.
My local chemist was doing a buy one get one half price across all cosmetics and while I was picking up a bronzer I decided to grab one of these too.


 Rimmel 1000 Kisses Lip Tint in Perpetual Plum €7.45 or £5.99 here

These come in 6 shades: Carry on Cherry, Nothing But Nude, Perpetual Plum, Timeless Tango, Stay Very Berry, Endless Blossom (you can see them here) 
I think there were 4 shades in my chemist and I chose Perpetual Plum as it was a lovely pink shade.

MAC Satin Lipstick 'Rebel' Swatches & Review

Whenever I saw anyone asking for MAC lipstick recommendations Angel and Rebel were always mentioned A LOT. Making them one of my top wish list products. Luckily for me, I managed to score Angel in a blog sale not long ago for around €12 including shipping which is a pretty amazing deal considering it was barely used! 
When I received my box of goodies from a giveaway I won (I know regular readers are probably sick to death of hearing me go on about it in so many posts! SORRY. If you haven't seen my unboxing and want to see what other goodies I got you see them here) and saw this lipstick in it I let out a scream 'YES!' and did a little happy dance while my Dad looked at me like I was crazy..

Anyway its quickly become one of my favourite lipsticks and I love wearing it to brighten up a dull all black outfit.

Urban Decay Loose Pigment Eyeshadow in 'Goddess'

I'm usually not a fan of pigments as I think they can be messy and cause a lot of fallout (especially after an incident where I spilled half a pot of a dark grey/black pigment all over my white bedsheet) but a while ago I picked up this Urban Decay pigment in Goddess because I thought the colour was gorgeous and that it was 'jazz up' (I can't believe I'm using that word, I was going to say spruce up though so be thankful I didn't!) a smokey eye.

Urban Decay Pigment in Goddess €17.50

Smashbox Soft Lights Highlighter in 'Shimmer'


As I mentioned in one of my previous posts about the Smashbox Blush Rush blusher in Radiance, I ended up buying quite a lot of the Smashbox products the makeup artist at my local counter tried on me. This highlighter being one of them. Before this, I'd never used a highlighter before (I know shock horror). Now, I don't think I could complete my makeup without it!

Essence Twilight Saga Blush 'Renesmee Red'

This colour looks scarily red. You may think 'ahh c'mon Emma I'd look like a clown'.
I thought the same!
I actually LOVE this blush!

Smashbox Blush Rush in Radiance aka HOLY CRAP IT'S HOT PINK


I for one am a huge blusher girl. I wear it every single day and can't NOT wear it. 
I think without it my face looks flat, sickly and dull. 
It immediately brightens up your face and adds a bit of colour to your cheeks.
Every time I visited my local Smashbox counter I admired this particular blush but never considered buying it as it was so bright but I still thought it was gorgeous.




 While buying a Smashbox foundation (review here btw) the lovely lady at the counter decided to go ahead and give me a mini makeover with a lot of other products (in the end I bought most of them!) including this blush. When I saw her pick it up I nearly ran out the door but once she showed me in the mirror I was impressed!

GOSH Velvet Touch Eyeliner in Ocean Mist


This is probably the very first eyeliner I ever bought and I still have it (that's probably disgusting actually..)
I still love it.

Essence Long Lasting Eye Pencil in C'est La Vie (05)


I love this eyeliner. Other than my black eyeliner this is the one I probably use most often. PLUS I don't just use it as a liner.
