Russian Volume Eyelash Extensions - Flawless Beauty Killeagh


Hey Everyone & welcome back!
This week I'm talking all about my eyelash extensions which were applied by the lovely & talented Gina from Flawless Beauty Killeagh.

First, a little bit about the salon! Gina is based in Killeagh which is amazing for all us locals! The minute you enter the salon you are instantly greeted with warmth & you honestly feel instantly relaxed! It's like nowhere else I've ever been! The interior is absolutely stunning and not to mention, spotless! The first thing most clients notice is the cleanliness and organisation of a salon and Gina's is a prime example of what impeccable looks like! Below are some photo's of the salon that she posted to her Facebook page so ye can really see for yourselves :)

The Salon









Isn't It something else?! and that treatment bed is heated by the way ladies, you feel absolutely spoiled getting a treatment done here!

The Treatment
So onto the treatment I received! Gina is qualified in many treatments, one of them being eyelash extensions, she does Classic (€50) which are that bit more natural looking but stunning on and she has now started doing Russian Volume (€75) which are that bit more dramatic! These are the ones I had applied of course! haha :)

The Process took around 2 hours but I did not mind AT ALL being in that heated bed! I felt absolutely no discomfort during the treatment and that's definitely down to Gina's experience & professionalism!
You can't explain what an amazing difference these make to your eyes so below are some before & afters!

Before & After









Aren't they amazing! I am in love with them! They have given me such a boost of confidence. I find I can get my makeup done so much quicker with these because I don't feel like I have to do half as much! As a daily wearer of eyeliner I haven't even picked it up since having the extensions applied, they do so much for your eyes that I'm honestly happy with the bare minimum during the week!

Aftercare


There is a lot of misconceptions when it comes to eyelash extensions, that they are so high maintenance and they ruin your own lashes but this not true at all! If you have a properly trained therapist applying there shouldn't be any damage done to your own lashes/skin. Gina also informed me that we lose 1-5 lashes EVERYDAY! So when you think you have less eyelashes after your extensions have fallen out or you have them removed it's more than likely from shedding, also you will be so used to seeing the thickness and volume for the 4 weeks that you're automatically going to see a huge difference! When you have these applied you do have to avoid oil based products because it does loosen the adhesive and in turn reduces the longevity of the lashes. So Micellar water will be your new best friend, just be gentle when removing any eye makeup! I like to remove the bulk with a cotton pad then go in with a dampened Q Tip and wipe it gently along the base of the lashes to make sure I have removed all traces of product. That's basically it! You can then return to Gina after the 4-6 weeks to get them refilled :)


If you're looking to get these done girls, honestly Gina is your woman! She really knows her stuff and is so passionate about it!
You can private message her on Facebook to make an appointment or to make a query. She also does Makeup, Gelish, Spray Tanning, Waxing, Facials..You name it! and she also works flexible hours so It's ideal for anybody with a hectic schedule!

Thank you again to Gina for such a relaxing evening in the salon and such an amazing application!

TRND Beauty X Morphe Brushes!


Hey everybody!
I'm back with something VERRRY Exciting!

By now I'm sure everybody and their mother's have heard bloggers, YouTubers & everyone that doesn't live under a rock raving about Morphe Brushes. The amazing quality brand with even more amazing prices, They really blew up when they released their 350 Palette. I have this palette myself & have raved about it and I have to say it's absolutely one of the best I've ever used! And the shades are just to die for!



And the best part is they're all under 30 Euro!! Shur where would ya be going?
They have an incredible range of brushes, highlighters, Concealers, Travel cases..the list goes on!
Anyways, Morphe is located In Burbank CA so for a long time you could only buy off their website, that's what I did to get the 350 palette and I was stung big time by custom charges so I ended up paying nearly double for the pallet!

Now when I saw that there is an Irish company now stocking Morphe, safe to say I nearly passed out.
TRND Beauty based in Dublin are now selling the amazing brand online!
Unfortunately & Unsurprisingly they majority of the most popular palettes are currently sold out, but you can join a wait list!
So I was browsing Sunday night and noticed they have a lot of their new pressed pigments in stock, which are getting amazing reviews on YouTube!
They are 7.99 each and they are in a huge pan.
But I saw this fantastic bundle deal and decided to go for it!



It's Called The Morphe Mixture 
You get: -2 pressed Pigments (Mimosa Sunday & Marry The Night)
-1 M501 Highlighting Brush
-1 Flat M224 brush for packing on the pigment.
All of this for only €25! 

It really is insane value for money, And the pigmentation of the shadows are like nothing I've ever tried, they swatch like butter!


The Lighter Shade is "Mimosa Sunday''
The Darker Shade Is "Marry The Night"
The smallest touch of these shadows go a long, long way and given the size of the pans they will last you forever!
I tried Mimosa Sunday with the M501 Highlighting brush on my cheekbones to see how it would look and oh my lord the wind was nearly taken out of me! It's an absolutely beautiful highlight.
Not glittery or Chalky it looks like you're really lit from within!

I'm so looking forward to playing with these and creating a look with them! I'm definitely going to be purchasing more pigments & brushes in the meantime, I'm just so amazed by them.
This little bundle or even creating your own bundle is a perfect stocking filler for sisters, mothers, best friends, cousins, brother, your dog, your hamster..they'll all appreciate this! haha :)

Last but not least, I ordered these fairly late Sunday night and they arrived today! Tuesday afternoon, so there is still loads of time there before Christmas :) They came beautifully packaged with a little thank you note attached! and with that packaging you can just put it straight under the tree? They're making your life so much easier!!




So there we have it! A game changer for Irish Beauty lovers!
It's amazing to see and Irish company like TRND Beauty doing so well and stocking one of the most in-demand brand's at the moment! They have so many more products on their site that are hard to get in Ireland, keep an eye out for them on Social Media to keep up to date with their deals & stock! and wherever you can try and to Support Irish, cos to be fair we're a mighty crowd :P

Happy Shopping Everyone!

Until the next time!

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!

My Flirty Fall Essentials with Adore Me


Hello Everyone!
Long time no blog is an understatement! 
I've been focusing a lot more on my social media lately with my makeup and photos, and especially coming up to Halloween, I'm Planning and doing makeup looks.

So I kind of lost sight of my blog unfortunately :( But I'm Trying to get back into it!

So this post is all about My fall Essentials that make me feel Pretty, Sexy and Fierce!

I have decided to create a flatlay for my blog featuring a few of my favourte pieces for fall to join  Adore Me's #flirtyfallessentials project! They are an online Lingerie store that sell some beautiful pieces! They asked me to create a Flat lay for my blog featuring some of my favourite pieces for fall, I was so excited to get involved as this is my favourite time of year!

so here it is!





1.Perfume

First up we have The amazing Lancome La Vie Est Belle EDP.
This is like nothing I've smelled before. It's been around a while but it incredible! it smells mature but sweet, it's defiantly a fall scent, dark and mysterious! I love it.

2.Book's


I think a good book or two is an absolute must for fall! What's better than being curled up by the stove and losing yourself in a story? I'm Currently finishing up Grey (Which I'm loving!) then next on my list is The Girl On The Train.

3.A Spicy Warm Candle

I am obsessed with candles all year round', and while in the summer I love fresh clean scents. I Equally love sweet, spicy ones in the fall and winter! They give such a cosy feel to the home. Anything with cinnamon and berries is my favourite! 

4. A Dark Lipstick

So we all know that fall and winter are the months for berry and plum lipsticks, which are beautiful! but i think you cant beat a good red! This one is from INGLOT It's a liquid lipstick, so it's going to last you all night! And it's one of the most universally flattering red's I've seen since Ruby Woo! This is in the number 12.

5.Glamorous Earrings

Earring's are an instant way to boost your confidence in my opinion! Especially ones like these, they just add instant old Hollywood glamour! Add these with your red lipstick and Perfume, you'll be a showstopper! They are a must for Christmas time as well, They scream New Years Eve!

6.Lace Bralettes


Last but not least are Lace Bralette's. These are taking the world by storm at the moment, everyone is wearing them! i love these because;
 number 1: they're comfortable. 
number 2: They are soooo pretty!
These really boost my confidence even if I'm wearing it under a jumper or hoodie!
You can get so many different styles with these and wear them in so many ways. They are an instant way to boost your confidence.

So I hope you all liked this post! i really enjoyed putting all of it together!
