Maybelline Instant Anti-Age concealer

Hi Guys 
I have to admit I'm completely obsessed with You Tube lately, I love to watch all my favourite vloggers and adore make up tutorials and as I watched on today at least three of the videos I was watching were using 'Maybelline Instant Anti-Age concealer' 
I have seen this product for a while and was always tempted to try but I love my Collection concealer so much I never really went for anything else however today as it was 'Pay Day'  I decided why not!



It comes in a plastic tube with a sponge applicator , you have to twist the tube to get the product up, It does take quiet a bit of time to get the product up in the beginning however after that you get  the right amount every time there on 
They only come in two colours Light & Nude which is not great for darker skin tones.
Another one of its downfalls is the sponge applicator 'Is it hygienic? 
However it is absolutely beautiful on, It sets quiet quickly to a  velvet powder finish so be sure to blend it in quickly. I like to swipe the concealer under my eyes and then blend out with my fingertips

I got this at my local boots for €11.99

Eau Thermale Avene Hydrating skin tone perfector

Hi guys
I wanted to share a new product I have been trying out  it 
Avene Hydrance optimale 






If any of you have been following my blog from the start you will know I absolutely love Avene 
Their skincare range is amazing so when I had heard they had out a skin tone perfector I had to get my hands on it ASAP!!
I have been quite dehydrated lately so my skin hasn't looked the best so knowing how hydrating Avene products are I had high hopes.
This is  tinted light  mattifying  moisturiser with SPF 30 protection which is amazing and very convenient especially coming into warmer summer months as we all need to keep our skin safe and healthy,  It has Adjust-colour technology which means it will adapt to your own skin tone which is a good thing as when swatched for the first time  the colour is very dark and warm considering it is a light but after you massage it in to your skin its adapts to your own skin tone leaving you with a natural healthy glow.
Its soft focus and smoothing agents fill fine lines,smooth skin and help to blur flaws and imperfections.
It also has a Patented hydrance  complex which keeps the skin hydrated and looking healthy all day long!
The science behind the formulation mimics the eyes unique hydration system to lock in the hydrating benefits of  signature soothing and anti-irritating  Avene Thermal spring water, which by the way is also amazing and trust me your best friend when it gets really hot and muggy out

Romantic bear Lip Peel in Cherry Red

Hi Guys 
I recently came across a video on instagram of a girl putting on what looks like a lip gloss only to peel it of to a beautiful lip stain 
I haven't seen anything like this before so I really wanted to try it and I found them on Groupon for a bargain Price of €3.99






What do you do?
Apply Lip Peel as a normal Lip Gloss 
allow to dry for ten minutes with your lips slightly apart 
be careful not to get any product in your mouth or on your teeth as it is a stain 
then peel off its that simple! 
I like to take a tissue and rub of any excess product  and finish up with a lip balm 

My thoughts 
I'm really impressed with this product I know waiting for ten minutes seem a little off putting but the result of the stain is gorgeous. 
However during the day it does seem to sink into any dry lines in your lips, 
so my advice would be to exfoliate your lips before you use this product and moisturise your lips.
This is also scented  of cherry so if you don't like scented products you might like this

Nars super orgasm

Hi guys 
I was always someone who really couldn't understand the hype with Nars however since I found this in my local tk maxx on really big discount I said I'd give it ago even though it wasn't orgasm Nars holy grail blush I figured it was close enough its 

Nars Super orgasm




  
Its a pretty peachy pink with gold glitter.  If your familiar with Nars Products this is very similar to Nars Orgasm with glitter flecks. It is a beautiful colour on the cheek however the texture is a little gritty but seen as it is heavily glittery I was expecting this 
When  the blush itself is applied it is soft however the glitter tends to fall everywhere!
 A very pretty colour for spring/summer however the glitter fall out would have me recommend that Nars Orgasm would be a better option as it is very similar blush with out as much glitter.

Beauty Blender

Hi Guys 
Yes I finally Caved 
I got my Beauty Blender 



                                                          















               
The Beauty Blender is by now a cult beauty item but if your not familiar
The beauty Blender was created by Hollywood make up artist Rea Ann Silva.
Rea created a sponge that leaves a flawless, airbrushed finish and it has become a favourite with everyone in Hollywood  from Beyonce to Oprah!
 Not to mention the countless beauty Awards that it has won.
It is completely worth the investment your make up will always look flawless 



   How I use it 
         Dampen the sponge and squeeze out.
Dot make up on my face and bounce the sponge gently onto the make up and blend it with a patting motion

Maintenance 
Wash your beauty blender with the beauty blender cleanser or with a gentle soap and warm water 
squeeze out the excess water and let it dry 


I purchased mine on  beauty bay
