✩ Glowing skin ✩

Do you love a dewey finish but don't want to look oily for the summer? Well i have a review on the perfect products for you. They are the Rimmel "Wake Me Up" range. I heard a lot about these products on blogs and from youtubers so I got the foundation a while back in a shade darker in preparation for the summer and I actually started using it from the end of spring since that's when our weather really picked up. 






I have the foundation in the shade 103 True Ivory and the concealer in Soft Beige. I decided to get the concealer in a shade lighter than the foundation since it was mostly for highlighting areas and my under eye circles. They Anti- Fatigue and Radiant Glow products so they have a bit of shimmer in but not too much which is great.

I apply the foundation with my Real Techniques Expert Face Brush. I find it the best way apply because your hands are left a bit shimmery! It gives you a prefect glow and really works well with a tan. Also I just use my finger to dab the concealer on :)

I really would recommend this duo to anyone who is looking for a nice drugstore foundation and concealer this is the one you should try :)

Thanks for reading guys and I hope you enjoyed that post :) have a great weekend!

❁ Bourjois Bronzing Powder ❁

Hey guys. Just thought I'd give you a quick review on this bronzer I have fallen in LOVE with. I've had it in my collection for a while now and as my skin has gotten more tanned, my face has needed it to bring it together with the rest of my body. This has been the product I've been using. It's the Bourjois Bronzing Powder.



It's not too muddy or sparkly so it's just great for bronzing the skin and giving you that summer glow we all desire. It costs about €10 and is seriously worth it. 

It looks like a chocolate bar and smells super good! Not that that's necessary but it's better than it stinking!



Basically, if you're looking for a nice drugstore bronzer that won't make you look tacky and orange, this is the product for you. I'm terrible at bronzer application and this works so well for me. It's nice and subtle yet it works like a dream.

Hope you guys enjoyed this post and found it helpful. Next I'm going to be doing some more reviews on some Urban Decay new products that were recently launched so look out for that. Have a great weekend!

☀ Happy Monday! ☀

Hey guys, it's nearly 30 degrees outside. Just a quick post to say please stay safe in the sun! It's so important.

I'm relaxing in my boyfriends garden for the day and having a bbq later. Hope you're all doing well!

I'm currently enjoying an ice cream!

☀Stay safe in the sun!☀

We all know its nice to get a tan but did you know that skin cancer is the form of cancer that hits ireland the most? I didn't thats for sure.

We have been blessed with some awesome weather lately and July and August are supposed to be pretty good too in the long run.

Please wear a factor guys. With UVA and preferably UVB in. You can achieve a tan with factor on! Anyone who tells you otherwise is silly!

I like to use a factor 20 when the sun first starts coming out and as my body gets used to sun again I drop to 8 but no lower. On my face i use a cream lotion not oil spray as oil lead to spots and on my face i start at 30 and go no lower than 15 but this will be changing because you're supposed to use higher.

I wear dun screen on my face every day, without fail. Stop being unsafe and put some on!

Also get one that says it can go under make up or your face could fall off in the day ;)

Bye guys!! xox

🌟 Revlon Quick Dry Top Coat 🌟

I've been searching and searching for a good top coat. I've tried and tested loads. I've read the reviews and I have finally done it. Revlon is my savior.

I like to do (try) nail art so you need a good top coat to keep stickers on and just keep that mani that has taken you the last two hours, in tip top shape!

I think it cost about €8 which wasn't bad. Cheaper than Essie and Sally Hansen but more expensive than Rimmel. I tried it straight away when I got home and I love it. It made my nails super glossy and they didn't chip till day 6! No bubbles, shrinking or smudging. So I am a very happy girl :)

Hope you've enjoyed this review, Thanks!

❤ Bioderma! ❤

Hey guys! First proper review to come now on the greatly loved Bioderma. I bought this 250ml bottle on Ebay.ie for approx. €15.

Bioderma is a range of ever expanding French products that are for the treatment of skin and promotion of good healthy skin. The liquid make up remover has been adopted by make up artists around the world and now us, the every day consumer. 



It's a water based make up remover that literally looks like it came out of a tap! It's very soft on the skin and feels refreshing. I place mine on a cotton pad and put it on my eyes for ten to fifteen seconds and voilà! ;) It removes everything. I mean everything.

Bioderma is a great LUXURY product. Yes i'd prefer to buy it than say the MAC make up remover or any other designer brand because it is cheaper but is it better than anything we could find in the drug store? Price wise, no but quality wise? Well I think Bioderma wins hands down. My only problem with it is.. It kinda smells weird. But I'll get over that.

So what's my verdict you ask? Well, will I be repurchasing? yes :D

Hope you've enjoyed reading this and I'll see you next time! :)
