Haul Time!! Collective Drugstore Beauty Haul!!



Hey Guys,

So yes I have another, yes another collective haul for you guys (If you missed out on my last haul you can check it out here - Beauty Haul!! (Makeup Revolution, Pennys/Primark, Blank Cosmetics, Wet & Wild)

Today is another haul of beauty bits & pieces that I have picked up from Penny's (Primark), Random Irish pharmacies (Drugstores) & also gifts. So I'll I can say is sit back, relax & enjoy! Leave me a comment below with your thoughts on any of the products I have mentioned here today or any new products you have picked up lately. i would love to hear about them.

Also don't forget to add me on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM or SNAPCHAT for realtime mini reviews, Mini hauls & update goings on!! See you there!!

Lets get this show on the road then shall we (I will warn you now there are a lot of products here) -

Wet & Wild Photo Finish Foundation

I picked this up a couple of weeks ago when I was in need of a new foundation. Unfortunately there is no L'Oreal stand anywhere near me. There is however a Wet & Wild stand so I decided it was time once again to start experimenting with new foundations. This was one I picked up. I didn't actually hear any reviews about it until after I picked it up for myself. All the reviews I have seen so far have been positive. I have worn it a couple of times but not enough to give it a full review. That will be coming soon.





Wet & Wild Coverall Cream Foundation

This is another one I thought I would try out. I haven't actually tried it yet but I will be posting a full review of this also in the upcoming weeks.





P.S. 2Pk Silicone Sponges

I genuinely picked this up because I thought it was wierd. The look, the texture, the shape..... wierd. I thought it might be a fun thing to try out and tell you guys about and if it works then win, win.




P.S. Plumping Vitimin E Sheet Mask

Pennys have been doing a lot of skincare recently and I haven't actually tried that much so I thought it was about time to give it a go!! I picked up a couple masks!





P.S. Cranberry Lip Patch





Essence - Get Picture Ready - Brightening Concealer

This was a new product to arrive at the Essence stand. I think the thought process of this product is kind of along the lines of the Maybelline Age Rewind Concealer that everyone went crazy for. (I personally have never tried it. I know #badblogger) Anyhoo I thought I would give it a shot & see how it works out.




P.S. Foundation

The final product I have to show you is another foundation!! I think it was the YouTuber Kate from Kates Beauty Station that raved about this and said that She used it everyday so I had to give it a go. I just hope I picked up the right one!!



Well looks like I'm going to be a busy girl!! testing out all these products. Keep a close eye on my social media for up-to-date mini reviews!! Also leave me a comment down below if you have tried any of these products & your thoughts on them!! Or if you have any recommendations of any new products you either love and think I would like to try or that you would like me to test out for you!!

Beauty Currently Loving ~ July 2017




Hey Friends, 


Today I thought I would share with you all the makeup & beauty products that are making me happy at the moment... I published my last Currently Loving post back in February (That seems so long ago now) so I thought it was time for an update! 

If you would like to know more regularly the products that I consider hits & misses in my life, then you can hop on over and follow me on my social media (TWITTER, INSTAGRAM or SNAPCHAT) where I post update, real- time mini reviews & hauls along with day to day randomness & life updates!) All links are at the end of the post!!

Lets begin shall we?

Blank Canvas Cosmetics - F08 Buffer Brush

You might have seen this baby in my last haul post (If you missed it you can check it out here - Beauty Haul!! (Makeup Revolution, Penny's / Primark, Blank Canvas Cosmetics, Wet & Wild) or if you follow me in Instagram you might have also seen him pop up on your feed. No joke, I had been eyeing this sucker up since Christmas but I just couldn't justify picking this up! A couple of weeks ago I caved. I just couldn't resist the urge & do I regret it? Not even in the slightest!! I love this brush! I'm currently using it for my foundation & I couldn't be happier with the finish. I was using sponges for a while & now I am currently converted back to a brush girl!! I highly recommend if you are in the market for a makeup brush of this type check this guy out!!





Benefit Rockateur Blush

Ok anyone who knows me knows I'm not a massive blush girl, however in recent times this little one has stolen my heart. I was gifted this for Christmas by my best friend & fellow blogger Dara - PurpleButtonCouture & I have fallen for it!! It came in a Benefit gift set. Not that I think I will run out of it anytime soon (I mean it is ridiculously hard to run out of blush) but if I were to run out of it I would definitely run out & pick it up again!!






Essence Strobing Highlighter

A product I have been pairing the Rockateur blush with is The Essence Strobing Highlighter - 10 Let it Glow! I really do like a little glow on the face however I personally prefer a subtle (yet noticable) glow rather than a bam! in your face glow!, especially for everyday use anyway & I find this one is perfect!! It gives me a nice "I'm alive" kind of glow without it being too much!!  I have been loving this for everyday use in the past month!




Essence All About Matt! Fixing Compact Powder

I picked this up quite a while back & fell in love almost immediately (although I'm actually not sure I've ever shared it, either here or on my social media...) However in the past couple of months what with the move and finding new products, which I will be sharing soon, it kind of got left by the wayside for a while. Last week though I found it & put it back into my everyday makeup routine. I have been using it ever since!! I highly recommend that it you are in the market for a new setting powder then you give this one a go. It is so finely milled #overusedbloggerterm but its true!! It doesn't make me look cakey or pasty. It doesn't change the integrity or positioning of the products I have put underneath. It just gives my makeup a flawless, finished look! I absolutely love this little guy!!




P.S... PRO Mattifying Primer

I have already done a full review on this product (Full Review!!) & in it I mention that as I have normal to dry skin that it is not a product that I wouldn't use all the time but love it for when I want bulletproof makeup. However I find that in the summer months & in hotter weather this stuff is a godsend. It just keeps my makeup where I want it to be regardless of the heat and other external factors in my day. This will definitely be a product I will be taking away with me on holidays this year!! In fact I just picked up another one last week!! €5 a pop!! #happiness





That's all folks!!

I am currently testing out new products and will have many more to share with you in the up-coming weeks! I have exciting things coming!! I hope you enjoyed this post!! Please leave me a comment below and let me know if you have tried any of these out & your thoughts on them. Also please leave your recommendations for any other products you think I might like to try or you would like me to test out for you. I always love hearing your thoughts & recommendations!!

Dont Forget you can also get in contact and catch up with me on my social media!! - All linked below! I will see you there!! x

Beauty Haul!! (Makeup Revolution, Pennys/Primark, Blank Cosmetics, Wet & Wild)




Hey Beauties, 

Today I have another haul for you guys!! I did a little shopping in the past couple of weeks & this is a collective haul of new beauty products & tools. I picked these up in Pennys and random Pharmacies. *Side note - I love pharmacies in Ireland. You always find random stalls of different makeup brands which are primarily based in the UK or the States such as Physicians Formula, Freedom, The Balm & Makeup Revolution. They usually start in random pharmacies & then filter out to the wider market. Take NYX for example I could only find it in small random stalls & now the have priority in Boots. Anyway these are the kinds of places I found the makeup I am about to show you. I am so excited to start playing with it all and giving you guys reviews. 


Makeup Revolution, I Heart Makeup - Salted Caramel Palette - €12

I was so excited to see this stand. I remember seeing the Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palettes everywhere for the past couple of years. I remember feeling, on the one hand so jealous as I wanted to play with it but also I know with amount of makeup I currently possess and the fact that I am trying to live more minimally, appreciating my possessions and achieving financial & travel goals for 2017 there was no way I could justify paying out that money for another palette. When I spotted these palettes on a stand for the first time I was so happy. I picked this baby up knowing it to be a dupe for the Too Faced Semi Sweet Chocolate Bar Palette for €12!! I know that although its a dupe it wont be exact however I also know the quality of these shadows is great and I cant wait to play with. I will definitely be giving you guys a review of this product as an independent product and not as a dupe. (also you maybe notice on one of the photos there is some animal print going on. That is not part of the design, its actually a reflection of the shirt I was wearing when taking the photo.... I think it kinda works though so I used the photo anyway! #bloggerproblems)









  

Makeup Revolution - Lip Lava Motlen Chocolate - €4.50

Any guesses to why I picked up this little product?? Yes most of you probably guessed right. This product has been duped for the Too faced Melted Lipstcks or the OCC Lip Tars, more products that I have always wanted to try. I got the shade Naked Chocolate. It was the one I was most drawn to in the shelf. I picked this baby up for €4.50!! If I fall for these products I will definitely be considering picking up their higher end counterpart.









Blank Canvas Cosmetics, Dome Buffer Brush - €14.99

For months now I have been so tempted by these brushes I have heard such great things about them but again as I genuinely have more brushes and tools in my collection than I can currently count I have always put it off..... until now. I caved! What can I say... I'm weak... sue me. #sonotsorry.






Pennys Lip Liner - €1.50

I love Pennys Lip liners & I couldnt resist picking another one at €1.50 a pop - #winning Here I picked up the shade - Desert Sand. Its a very 'Kylie Jenner' shade & I love it!






Pennys Mascara - €1.50

I am still on my never ending quest to find my perfect mascara so now that I'm in need of a new one I found this just hanging out on the shelf calling my name. The quality of Pennys make is getting stronger and stronger so you never know #fingerscrossed






Pennys Eyebrow Pencil - €1.50

For a long time now I have been using powder to fill in my brows & I find that it works really well for me. However I have been getting bored lately & decided to branch out and try new things. I decided to opt for pencil as it seems like it might be reliable and also maybe travel friendly #winwin I picked this up in the shade - Medium.








Wet & Wild - Colouricon Bronzer SPF 15 - Reserve Your Cabana - €4.95

I was in need of a new bronzer as unfortunately mine bit the bullet a couple of weeks ago when it fell on the floor and smashed. Luckly the lid was still closed so I have been able to use it but realistically it was time to invest again. If you have been with for a long time (Thank you) then you will know that for the longest time I have been using the Catrice - Sun Glow Matt Bronzing Powder (One of my holy grail products) However, even though I do love that product so much & will be purchasing it again I decided it was finally time to branch out so I decided to pick up this one. I spotted it a couple of months ago and it intrigued me but I couldn't justify buying it as I already had my other one at the time. This one looks so light but I'm going to give ago anyway and see how I get on. Stay tuned for updates!!  






So thats my little haul!! I am so happy with my purchases and cant wait to now start playing with them!! Stay tuned for updates or you can check out my SNAPCHAT - beautylalinda Here I post mini reviews & updates in real time. 

Have you tried any of these products? What were your thoughts on them? Any advice or recommendations for future purchases??

Currently Loving Beauty ~ February 2017



Hey Friends,

Happy Valentines Day!!

So I thought that today, as it is "the day of love" that I would share with you all the things I am currently loving... Beauty wise. So here we go  - 

Also let me know in the comments what you have been loving at the moment or if you agree with any of my choices!!


PS... Kiss Proof, Matt Lipsticks

These have been a new obsession for me. I spotted them in pennys new display & I was like "hell ya" I picked up these 2 to try them out but I will definately be picked up more during the week & will have a full review coming for you guys!! The shades I picked up were Shadow & Slay. I have definately been getting alot more use out of Shadow but I love them both!! 






Bioderma Moisturising Stick

So have been having a real problem with my lips and hands lately. Dry, sore, cracked. I think its just a combo of being run down, the weather & not taking care of myself. I was wandering through a random pharmacy, with no intention of buying anything when I came across this. I'm sure its not new but I had never seen it before. I have been loving it. It just seems to soothe & repair my lips. Considering I am addicted to matt lipstick I need to get the pout back in good condition & this seems to be doing the job!!


Aveeno Daily Moisturising Hand Cream

Like I said my hands have been a problem as well dry cracked and sore. I orignally put sudocream on it & it really helped. It fixed the soreness & cracking but I needed something to follow up & I have been loving this hand cream. Its been keeping them baby soft. I love it!! 



PS... Stilletto Nails

I have been really drawn to this Stilletto Nail trend but I'm still not sure I want to completely commit to getting them permanent with gel or acrillic so I have decided to use the PS... falsies until I'm ready to comit. I love them! They last on my for about a week I can paint & design them. They do come in different colours but I like to get the nude ones and decide myself what colour I would like to wear that week. I think the glue that is included with them is fantastic!! If your looking for some temporary false nails I can't recommend these enough!! 



PS... Miracle Primer

I have already done a full review on these & I honestly can't recommend this product enough. If you would like to read the full review you can just click on it here - Full Review || PS... PRO Miracle Primer



These are all the products that have stood out to me recently & been making me happy!! Don't forget to leave me a comment down below & let me know the products that have been making you happy!! Also let me know your thoughts on any of the products I have mentioned!!

Hope you are having a wonderful Valentines Day!!

Review || PS... PRO Mattifying Primer






Hello Beauties, 

I have another primer review for you guys! Last friday I talked about the PS... PRO Miracle Primer. If missed it then you can check it out here - Full Review. The primer I am talking about today is the second one that they carry in their line. Although I did spot on Instagram that they have now brought out an illuminating primer too. This one, however their Mattifying primer. As I have normal to dry skin I wasn't that sure about how I would feel about it but I decided to give it a go anyway & at E5 a pop it wasn't exactly breaking the bank if it didn't work out for me. I could just pass it onto to a loved one with oilier skin. 

Here are my thoughts on the PS... PRO Mattifying Primer -




This product like the other primer also contains 30ml of product. It claims absorb excess oil, minimise visable pores & to be lightweight in texture. It says it is suitable for oily & normal / combination skin. As it is winter time & my skin is much drier it's probably not the most suitable for my skin but as the summer rolls in I will get more use out of it.




The product is white in colour & has a siliconey texture. It leaves my skin really smooth and I love the base it gives me for makeup! However as my skin is drier it does suck the moisture out of my skin. I find that after wearing it two/three days in a row my skin feels really dry and gets flaky, 





I will say though I felt like my makeup was bullet proof when I wore this as my base. I really think it would be perfect for summer time, when you are really busy or if you have a big event. I can't wear this on an everyday basis but if I have any weddings or important events coming up I will definitely be using this as my primer cos honey, my makeup will not be going anywhere!!

I can't say how this performs on oily/combo skin but judging by how much it drier my skin out I would say it is worth a try if you are have oil control problems 


Would I recommend this product?

To be honest although I'm glad I have it and would repurchase it if I had an event coming up and I was out of it I still think if you are a normal/dry skin type like me then you probably don't need this in your life as you won't be able to use this on a daily basis, at least not without alot of skincare prep before hand or you will completely dry out your skin. I will be using it again in the summer & I will give you an update on how I get on. However if you are an oiler skin type then this maybe for you I would recommend you check out some other bloggers with an oilier skin type if you want some advice first though. 


Have you tried this product!? What did you think? Do you have an oilier skin type? Did it work for you? Let me know in the comments below! I would love to hear from you!!

Review - PS...PRO Miracle Primer





Hello Beauties, 


So the quest for the perfect primer continues...

In the winter months I picked up this new primer from the PS... PRO range from Pennys / Primark. I'm always on the look out for new affordable products & I love trying out new primers!! They have brought out two in the range from what I can see at the moment.  

I picked this one up for E5... again another bargain!! Although to be fair a product can only be called a bargain if it performs well! Here are my thoughts -


This product contains 30ml of product & claims to create a smooth flawless finish. It claims to minimise the appearance of pores & fine lines & to be appropriate for all skin types. 

The product is flesh tone in colour and smooth in texture, with a siliconey feel to it. I have normal to dry skin & I found this product worked very well with my skin. It does what it says on the tin, which is it creates a smooth even base for make up application. 

As I have normal to dry skin I can't guarantee that it mattifys the skin or how it would hold up on an oily skin type but yet it doesn't claim to mattify anyway. They have another primer which is a mattifying one available too. I have a full review coming up on that next Friday, so stay tuned for that!  




To be honest I think I have found a dupe with this product. As soon as I tried the tester in the store the first thing it reminded me of was Benefit's Porefessional & I was correct to be honest. For my skin I find no difference between this and the Porefessional apart from the price tag. Although I really enjoy the Porefessional I honestly can't justify buying it for myself any more when this product is available for about a quarter of the price!! The Porefessional may hold up better on oilier skin types but for me I get the exact same results from both!


Would I recommend this product?

100% If you were planning on trying the Porefessional but don't know if you want to invest give this one a go! If you have normal to dry skin like me then you won't be disappointed. I think it provides the perfect base for makeup! I will definitely be repurchasing this product! #winning


Have you tried this product!? What are your thoughts? Do you think it's comparable to Benefit's Porefessional Primer? Leave me a comment & let me know!! I would love to hear your thoughts!!

Beauty Blogmas #20 || Currently Loving




Hello Everyone, 

So as you will have noticed many days have been skipped & there are many reasons for this. I will not bore you with this now. Instead I will create  a proper post where I will be telling you about it. Anyway Its 5 DAYS TO CHRISTMAS! WTF?? 

Lets get back to Blogmas!! Here is day 20!! Enjoy!!


Skincare


Pennys Lip Scrub

I mentioned this lip scrub in Blogmas #2 || Holiday Skin Saviours which you can check out by clicking here -> Full Post. I told you it was a recent purchase & I was enjoying it but I didn't like the thought of it having dead skin on it so I had to make sure it was clean everytime I finished using it. Although that fact still remains I really love this little product. It really does work and I love the way my lips feel after using it & applying a lip balm. I definitely recommend you give this little product a go if you are looking for a new lip scrub to try out!









W7 Lip Bomb


I got this Lip balm in a set of three which I have broken up so I have kept one & I will be adding the other two to the gifts of two of my friends. I love to do this with gifts as I think sometimes its nice to let everyone try the brand. Especially when a set consists of things like 3 lip balms. It takes a while to get through even one lip balm! I am very impressed with this one! I chose to keep the Raspberry flavour for myself & I am glad I picked them up. I am also now confident that they are a good addition to my friends gifts.






Garnier SkinActive Moisturise Bomb


This was a product that I had heard a lot about so when I was in need of a new moisturiser I decided to give it a whirl! This product was also mentioned in my post Blogmas #2 Holiday Skincare Saviours. Again that was a new enough product to me when I was writing the post. I have to say though from day one this product has impressed me! I love the consistency of it! Its like a thin gel formula that melts and feels like water when you apply it to the skin. My skin just loves this stuff especially now that the winter weather is upon us and has caused my skin to completely dry up!! I definitley recommend this!









Garnier SkinActive Moisture Bomb Tissue Masks 

These are another genius little product from the same range from Garnier! Garnier are showing they got game at the moment. Throwing out little wonder products left, right and center! When your skin feels dried up from the weather this is the perfect product to give it the boost it needs to spring back to life!! I think everyone can agree that I look extremely attractive in this picture & that my boyfriend is a very lucky guy!! haha









Pennys / Primark, PS... PRO Miracle Primer - Prep & Perfect


Pennys / Primark have brought their range of PRO Makeup this year including two new primers (I have only seen two anyway) I included both of them in my Beauty Blogmas #1 || Festive / Winter Makeup Essentials -> Full Post. This one is the PS... PRO Miracle Primer. When I first picked this up & tried it, the first thing it reminded me of was the Benefit Porefessional Primer! I was so excited to see how it compares & The result? In my eyes its a dupe, from the texture of it applying it, to the colour, to the way it applies & the way my skin feels after! I also think the staying power & performance is just as good. To be honest I think I will be purchasing this rather than the porefessional as it is a fraction of the price. 






  

Collection Precision Contouring Stick - Light 1


I've only had this product for about 3 maybe 4 months now and I love it. Its the perfect consistency, blendable without being too creamy or cakey. I feel like it gives me the perfect shadow under my cheek bones with minimal effort. I'm not sure if this shade would work for you if you were much darker than me (MAC NW 20) but I have seen that they have darker shades in the range so hopefully there will be one to suit you should you decide to try it out!







Essence Extreme Lasting Eye Pencil - Easy Glide & Waterproof


This is also a newer purchase. I used to use the regular Essence Kohl pencil but when I needed a new one I decided to pick up this one. It looks new but it might not be. Over the years I have tried out many a kohl liner believe me! It was one of the first makeup items I started using back in the day. I have quite watery eyes, nothing super crazy but generally eyeliners will bleed on me and it is something that I have noticed, been conscious of & just generally accepted was always going to be the case but with this one I have noticed that it doesn't bleed. I have been so impressed with this liner! I highly recommend it!!





Essence Velvet Stick - Matt Lip Colour - 02 Peony Star 


I hauled this a few months & I have included it in Blogmas # Festive / Winter Beauty Essentials. This month I have really been loving this product all over again! In Fact I'm going to have to pick another one as I am nearly out!! That's a positive review for the product in itself! 








These are the products I have been loving this month! I may have another currently loving next month as it is the season for beauty after all!! Let me know in the comments below what have been your beauty picks of the month or you can leave me links to your post if you have done it in blog post form. I'd love to know & I am always on the look out for new products to try out!! #beautyaddict
