I don’t know anybody who hasn’t suffered from contact dermatitis at some point in their life. Even those without sensitive skin have found themselves having a reaction to something. When a breakout occurs the first things usually blamed are changing your detergent or some new foodstuff that you tried. The one thing I would never have considered as a cause is my nail polish! However, it … [Read more...]
Have your cake and wear it! I’ve never met anyone who didn’t like cupcakes or macaroons, which is probably why MAC choose to draw inspiration from these sweet treats for one of their latest collections, Baking Beauties. With frosting style colours and delicious formulations this is a bang-on trend summer look that is feminine and sweet without being twee. One of the highlights of the … [Read more...]
There are literally thousands of mascaras on the market. It seems there is mascara for everything – to open your eyes, to enhance your eye colour, to lengthen, strengthen, fatten, curl… You name it and there’s a product that claims to do it. However what most people I’ve spoken to want is mascara that does what it says on the tin. They want length and curl and their eyes to pop. It is rare … [Read more...]
Pretty much every woman I know has a neutral eyeshadow palette that is something of a go-to on an almost daily basis. However, they also usually end up throwing out a couple of colours as they are either unwearable or they favoured other colours in the palette and just never got around to using them up. This is quite wasteful and can work out rather expensive, so it's nice when a beauty brand … [Read more...]
When it comes to under-eye concealers it has always been difficult to find a product that gives good coverage and yet doesn’t settle in the creases around the eyes - which gives an instant ageing effect. While illuminating products are very popular and don’t crease, people who suffer with very dark circles under their eyes often find that they don’t give enough coverage to mask these … [Read more...]
Before I even mention the actual eyeshadows in this palette I have to talk about the packaging. It is a beautiful rose gold/copper colour which, of course, is bang on trend at the moment. However, the people at Dr Hauschka didn’t merely randomly pick it because it was in fashion. It turns out that in ancient Roman mythology copper was associated with Venus, goddess of love. They believed that … [Read more...]
Dermalogica is one of the best known skincare brands in the world and is renowned for its skin solutions. The products are incredibly gentle on skin and they have a combination to suit anyone whatever your needs. Strangely though, after sorting out our skin so that it is glowing and soft, they have never ventured into the cosmetic arena, so we then slap on our make-up, sometimes undoing their … [Read more...]
There are many wonderful aspects to being Irish. We're world famous for our 'craic', we get to celebrate Paddy's Day like no other, every meal cooked by your Mammy comes with at least one form of potato and it's perfectly normal to spend Christmas Eve in the pub. However, one trademark of being Irish that can be a real pain is our pale complexions. While many try to conceal their Casper-like … [Read more...]
We are all becoming more conscious of what we put on our bodies these days, with people veering away from chemical-based products in favour of a more natural option. Skincare giants Origins have long extolled the virtues of plant-based products and with their Plantscriptions range they have isolated the Anogeissus Tree Bark, which is a natural anti-ageing ingredient that has been proven to yield … [Read more...]
Just in time for Valentine’s Day (you’d swear they planned it or something) comes the latest range from Smashbox called Love Me! However, rather than being a mere Hallmark holiday gimmick this is actually a collaboration between the brand and renowned street artist Curtis Kulig whose “Love Me” tag has been seen everywhere from the streets of LA to the museums of New York to the dive bars … [Read more...]
