Beauty Bargains of the Week...x

Hey girls,
I've been buying alot of makeup lately and am busy out trying them out properly before I review them.
Here's a quick post on 2 of these goodies that were absolute bargains and stand out products.
Catrice  - Pure Shine Colour Lip Balm and No. 7 Honey Blush.

I paid €4.89 for the Catrice Balm. With this  I love to colour in my lip with a neutral lip pencil and then apply this over it. The shade i got is 040 My Cherry Berry and its a handy go too product that you can apply without worrying you end up with lipstick all over your face. Its like a mix of lip gloss and lip balm. Also this didn't dry out my lips, its really moisturising. To me this is a dupe for the Clinique Chubby sticks but a quarter of the price. I haven't seen Catrice in Ennis but as soon as I get to Limerick I will be buying a couple more of these. Lovvvvveeeeee

            *********************************

Next up is the No.7 blush. This was €11.00 but I used a €6.50 off voucher from boots so it only cost me €4.50.
This is just the perfect daytime blush. Its is a warm brown/peachy colour that has a silky smooth finish and leaves a healthy glow to the skin. Perfect for all those Irish pale chicks out. Will suit anyone up to NC37 in MAC. Would probably be too light for anyone with a darker skin tone. I think this would be brilliant for someone starting out using blusher. You can't go wrong with it. It is also very buildable for all ye blush whores like myself..lol

Lipsticks I'm Loving....x

, bI have always been a fan of nude lips and have been afraid(for me) to try dark or bright colours because I have small lips. But my inner diva has come out...lol....here is 4 of my top new brights which I've been bravely wearing.....

MAC...Ruby Woo

I have searched high and low to find a wearable shade of red and I've finally found it. It suits everyone and is definitely a must have for a makeup artists kit.....

MAC....Girl About Town

This is a gorgeous bight pink lipstick with hints of fuchsia. This was made famous by Cheryl Cole and Danni Minogue rocking this colour for most of last years X Factor. This is my new go to lipstick for a night out.

I also found a cheaper version of this...its Barry M 145 Punky Pink..a third of the cost of MAC but almost identical in colour.

Heres a picture of me wearing Girl About Town during the day and being very brave .....

2 more lipsticks which I can wear everyday or at night is 2 from Avon. They are from the Ultra Colour Rich Colordisiac Range. the new colours I have which i think would be the best from the range is Can't Resist Coral and Red Hot Lips. They can be applied sheer or build up the colour with 2 or 3 coats. These are really moisturising and can brighten up your daily makeup look....They are on sale in Avon Brochure 9 for 7.50euro each.....

My favourite Brow Pencil...

Thick brows are a big trend at the minute, so if yours are thin or you've overplucked like me, then MAC Brow Pencils are the way forward. They are 16.50 each and are the only brow pencils I would really recommend. Some eyebrow pencils are too waxy and hard, which makes them painful to apply, but this one is great. Always easy to apply, always sharp, nice and thin packaging and lasts forever.

The three colours I have in my kit and always use are:

Fling - For Blondes

Lingering - Mid Brown

Spiked - Dark Brown

I use Spiked to create the shape and then fill in with Lingering. The joys of having no eyebrows...

My new fave lippie and only 2.99...xxx

I've heard quite a lot about the Natural Collections lipsticks so I thought I’d pop into Boots (any excuse..lol) and have a look. Natural Collection is Boots own brand and I never really stopped to look at them because they kinda look like they are marketed for teenagers. I ignored the rest of the products and focused on the lipsticks(even though some of the blushes look really nice). With the lipsticks, some of the colours are a bit wishy washy but my all time favourite was the shade Rose Bud.

It's a gorgeous natural pink, really handy to have in your bag and looks fab for everyday wear. It was only 2.99euro and it really is a good buy and the quality is really good. This is one for my makeup bag. Here's a peek at it.....
