SOSU: Highlighter Kit, A Closer look!


Hi Everyone!

As promised I'm sharing a closer look & my opinion on the New SOSU by Suzanne Jackson Highlighter palette!
I've had the palette over a week now as I pre-ordered it on her website last month.
I wanted to do a post on it straight away but I have been working crazy hours and by time I was getting home there was no daylight to take proper photo's, so I thought it best to wait and produce a higher quality post!

Before I share the pictures, I have to say I'm blown away by the quality of the product! You get 6 highlighting shades which are all adaptable to different skin tones, you can use them alone or mix them (which I like to do!) and you can use them as beautiful eye shadows!
The top 3 highlighters are pressed & the bottom 3 are baked, so there really is something for everybody!

Finally, I was amazed to see an actual improvement in regards to the texture on my face when I started using this, which I really wasn't expecting!
I noticed since I started wearing highlighters maybe 2 years ago that I constantly have bumps on both sides of my cheekbones, exactly where I apply Highlighter. But since using this palette I've really noticed a drastic improvement. I don't know why exactly, perhaps it contains less Irritating ingredients as other products I have used or it literally could be a coincidence! I just thought I'd share it with ye because I find it amazing :)

So anyways, onto the photos & swatches!


A Closer Look



Swatches

On The Skin


Above I mixed Moon Sparkle and shooting star & applied it to my cheekbones & tip of my nose using a fan brush. Then the inner eye corner's and brow bone using a definer brush.
There's no edits to the photo's, that's just how intense the highlight is!
I also used Peach smoothie as my eyeshadow base.
I'm also wearing her Carla Lashes if anyone is Interested!

It's currently in Stock in Sam McCauelys & Cloud 10 Beauty and selected Pharmacies. SOSU.ie is under construction for the next few days but you can also purchase from there!
 It retails for only €29.95!
Which is 100% worth the money in my opinion, you're getting 6 stunning shades that you can double up on and use as eye shadows! 
And of course it's always good to support our fellow Irish Women! :)

Hope you all enjoyed this post!
Until the next time :)

Carrie B Eat Your Heart Out!


Hello everyone!
Welcome back :)

Today I have a quick fashion post which isn't the norm for me but I felt it had to be shared!
So, if you are a fan of Sex and the City, which to be fair, you probably are.
You will always remember the infamous Manolo Blahnik's Carrie almost left in that RIDICULOUS closet which led her to reconcile with Mr.Big.
(If you need a reminder!)

Well here's the good news, River Island have only gone and stocked a dupe!
AND they're only E55!!



They seem to be almost fully stocked on the website but I can predict that won't be for long! They have 2 satin and 1 velvet  finish in 3 beautiful shades!

 Navy Satin Buckle Court Shoes
 Nude Velvet Buckle Court Shoes

These shoes are beyond timeless so if you want a pair I would grab them while they're hot because they are going to fly!
With the festive season fast approaching these would look amazing with so many outfits!
You could wear these with a ball gown or a light dress, so they are well worth it!

I hope you all have a fab week!
I'm going to binge on SATC now becuase researching this post has given me nostalgic feels haha!


Until the next time everyone!
