Top 10 Favourites For April!

Hey guys! So here are 10 products that I have been loving in the month of April.

1.Cailyn O Wow Brush

I have this brush awhile now and at the beginning I only used it to blend out cream contour and it worked amazing, so after a few uses I decided to use it with my foundation (liquid) and applied so uneven and patchy until I then discovered from seeing other makeup blogger's talk about and said its better used with a cream foundation. So then after using this brush with a cream foundation (from the SoSue Contour Palette), I fell in love with how it applied. It makes the foundation go a long way and gives a full coverage because of the really tight bristles. So flawless! 

2.SoSue Contour Palette

As I said, I have been using this palette with my O Wow brush and have been loving it since picking it up at the Irish Beauty Show in March. I always had a fear of cream contours to be oily and basically melt off your face but these are totally matte and don't budge so I love them for that reason, also the powders are very pigmented so major thumbs up on this palette iv been using it non stop. 

3.Penny's Loose Powder

I have been using this in the shade 'Light' to bake/set underneath my eyes and its amazing! It gives that extra bit of coverage after you conceal and really brightens up the under eye. Its a great dupe for Laura Mercier's loose setting powder and its only €2.50 so what's not to love!

4.Nivea Men's Shave Balm 

As some of you may already know from a past review I have on this product, I don't know what I ever done without It. It is by far the best primer out there for making your makeup stay on. I still use it every single time and I'm thinking I always will, I don't think it can be beat! Love!

5.Mac Prolongwear Concealer

I jumped on the bandwagon to see what all the fuss was about with this concealer and YES I was converted. Its so flawless it blends in so easily and is full coverage, Iv been using it all the time and I actually just ran out of it so I'll have to stock up. I use shade NC25 

6.Inglot's Duraline 

Any other Makeup Artists out there know that once you have duraline in your kit you start to wonder how you ever managed without it. Mine is very close to being empty so I know if I don't make it to an Inglot very soon there could be tears lol. It's an essential in my kit now and iv been using is ALOT in the month of April (which is probably why it's nearly gone) lol. 

7.Mac Mineralized Skinfinish 

I bought this only recently as I was looking for a face powder that gave a bit extra coverage but would'nt be very matte as my skin can get fairly dry. The girl in mac recommended this to be as it gives extra coverage and leaves your skin looking like silk after wards. I got it in the shade 'medium tan' as I nearly always a tan and wear darker foundation. This powder is so flawless and leaves your skin a satin finish which I love, its so gorgeous so I have been delighted with it! 

8.C472 Pro Chisel Crown Brush 

I bought this crown brush in Dublin at the Beauty Show as I was looking for a brush this shape for contouring and I'm so happy with it, Iv been using nothing else for my powder contour it give such a blended contour and the bristles are so soft. 

9. Wow Brown Tan in Dark

I also purchased this at the Beauty Show after hearing so many good things about this product and it's amazing. The colour is gorgeous and so easily built up to your preferable darkness. Iv been mostly using this as a top up tan so when I have my full body tan on (bBold) i'll go over it with a layer of this to keep it topped up after a couple of days and it applies evenly on top of another tan and just makes it that bit darker which I like. Also I thought that because its a small enough bottle that it would'nt really last me but I'm so surprised by how much I have left going by the amount Iv been using it lol so I'm really impressed

10.The Makeup Eraser 

I cannot live with one of these. I only just re purchased a new one as I had my old one about a year and it was still doing the job but I needed a a fresh one. Its the easiest way to take off makeup and can be used over and over again so no more buying face wipes or makeup remover and cotton pads once you have one of these. Makes a girls life a lot easier it comes everywhere with me, cannot go without one! 

So there are my Top 10 Monthly Favourites, hope you enjoyed and be sure to ask me any questions on these products if you wish!

12 Week Blowdry Review!

So I was asked by Karen from Dollface Vanity to be a model for her and get a 12 week blow-dry put in my hair, at the time I had never even heard of this so after she informed me about it I jumped at the chance to have it done. This is a treatment that is put into your hair that calms that dreaded frizz most of us have. My own hair is quite afro-like, really frizzy and curly so it is a nightmare and I dread when the time comes to wash it and style it. It was stressed to me by the stylist that this treatment does not take the curl out of your hair as such but it deffinetly maintains the frizz and is more manageable,smoother and softer. The application time takes roughly around two hours which is totally worth it afterwards. I have the treatment in my hair now for over a week and I'm honestly wondering how I managed without it. I now no longer hate having to wash and style my hair because it takes a few minutes rather than 1 to 2 hours. I wash my hair with a shampoo and conditioner that was given to me after the treatment as it keeps the treatment doing its job. This treatment needs to be activated by heat so it needs to be blow-dryed for it to work which is no hassle as it dries so much faster with this in your hair. After drying my hair after a shower, normally my hair would be huge from frizz and it would be a struggle to get a brush through it but now its completely gone down in size and is a lot more sleek looking I love it. After drying it I roughly go though it with the straightener, I don't even have to section my hair anymore so its such a dream. I would recommend anyone with hair like mine that finds it a nightmare to manage to get this treatment done, it makes life so much easier. Here is a before and after of my hair below!

As far as price goes I'm really unsure as I was just a model but I'm sure Karen from Dollface Vanity would be happy to give any information. Karens salon is located on Camden Court in Cork city just outside of blackpool. The number to the salon is 021-4559714 and she can also be found on facebook just search Dollface Vanity. Best invention ever! 

 

Mini Review: Waxperts Pads

Waxperts Wonder Pads

Where have these been all my life? I bought these award winning multi tasking pads about a month or so ago after constantly seeing great reviews about these being used to clear up spots/breakouts. These are also used for treating and preventing ingrown hairs, shaving rashes and keratosis pilaris but I specifically just wanted these to try clear my breakouts and it has done just that. I started using these every night before Id go to bed when my skin was pretty bad and every morning I'd have less and less and now my skin is completely clear just after a few days of using these. I honestly could no believe it as I tried everything and could not clear them completely, I always had the odd one or two still left on my face. I now use them every few days just to prevent me from getting breakouts again and it's working a treat. I'm more than happy with these I just regret not trying them sooner. Absolutely love! There are 40 pads in each tub and I find they do last a long time. For anyone else suffering with breakouts I would highly recommend trying these I swear by them now.
