Top Beauty Products of 2016

Hi My Loves,

Happy New Year Guys, oh what a year it has been, especially for beauty products. I have tried and tested so many products, ranging from makeup, skincare, tanning, dental etc.. over the last twelve months and today I have picked out my top products of 2016 which I will definitely be bringing into 2017 with me.

I will do a separate blog on my most loved skincare products as I have some newbies I haven't mentioned before, that need serious praising.

So lets take a look at my Top Beauty Products of 2016.

Charlotte Tilbury Magic Foundation:

I love everything from Charlotte Tilbury but this year her Magic Foundation was one of my go to foundations. It is so light weight yet has such amazing coverage and blends so effortlessly and has great lasting power on the skin, this foundation I would say is a medium to full coverage and leaves an amazing dewy look to the skin.

 Urban Decay Naked Skin Weightless Complete Coverage Concelar:

So much love this concelar  and there is such a great range of colors to suit every skin type. Without doubt the best concelar on the market, it's a full ass covrage concelar, but feels completely light and weightless on the skin, Believe me when I say it covers Eeeeeeverything. Love love love It.

Urban Decay All Nighter Foundation:

Another Foundation Love for 2016, again this is a full ass coverage foundation, perfect for nights out as it stays in place all night. Not for those with dry skin, for those of you with oily skin, you will love this. (I will do a blog review on this beauty soon.)

Anastasia Beverly Hills Dip Brow Pomade:

My go to brow product, I have tried other products which I like but I always go back to my fav. Glides through your brows like a dream and makes your brows look natural and full every time you use it.

Flormor Double Radiance Primer:

 

This has definitely replaced my beloved MAC strobe cream, it's so beautiful under foundation and on the skin alobe, it gives the most amazing glow to the skin. So Beautiful and so cheap, massive thumbs up for 2017.

Just look at that glow... so dreamy....

Kylie Lip Kits

Everybody and their granny knows how much I love these babies. They may b pricey and hard to get but girls they are definitely worth it 100%, your lips will be as pouty and juicy as Kylie's. I will definitely be purchasing more of these throughout 2017.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance Palette:

The most loved palette of 2016, this palette is without doubt the most beautiful palette I have ever seen, loved by all bloggers and YouTube gurus, this palette offers you everything you want and the pigmentation is to die for. If you can go get it, you won't regret it. Just look at those colors

SOSU Contour Palette:

My most loved product of 2016, I have gone through 3 of these babies already and will continue to repurchase in 2017. For €30 and it's and Irish product what more could you want. A beautiful product from a gorgeous lady. If you haven't already, go get one, actually get two because you will definitely want to repurchase.

SOSU Lashes:

Another amazing product from Suzanne Jackson, these lashes are without doubt the best lashes I have tried in 2016. They are naturally fabulous and make your eyes look big and fluttery and can be worn more than once. At such a cheap price you won't get anything like these for the price anywhere.

Laura Mercier Translucent setting powder:

Love me some Laura Mercier, her Translucent setting powder was a must have in my makeup bag in 2016. Perfect light weight powder to set that under eye concealer and to bake those highlighted areas. An expensive product but its worth the money in my opinion and lasts a long time.


Bellamianta Tan:

Ooooooh my goodness, one of the most gorgeous fake tans on the market. This tan is so natural, it comes in both a lotion and a mousse and  I love both. But my ultimate fav is the spray tan, girl you look like you just came home from the Caribbean. Natural and beautiful and again an amazing Irish brand.

iWhite:

Again everybody knows how much Love I have for iWhite, I use both the trays and the tooth paste and they give your teeth the perfect white smile. Another massive YES for 2017.

2016 has been a super year for beauty products and I can only imagine what 2017 will have to offer. I will again be testing all things new to the market throughout the year so I will keep you guys posted.

How To Style The Pyjama Top

Hi My Loves,

So I have been obsessing over the pyjama top trend, some may have other opinions on it but me I loooooove it.

Now It took me awhile to actually fall in love with it, at first it was a strong catwalk trend but it didn't have me convinced. It was only when  I seen the celeb's stepping out in the street style look. I was in love.

The Shirt , Its a classy look which you can wear to work paired with a skirt, trousers etc or you can add that street style to your look by pairing it with some casual pieces which I have done and is my favorite way to wear this piece.

So I went for a nude colored shirt with black trimming, and its very structured and flattering piece. The sleeves are three quarter length which I like and it is true to size, I'm wearing size 6 and it fits perfectly. Awwwh I Love it, its so pretty.

I knew once I seen the black trimming I wanted to pair it with black jeans. Yup as you can see below I bought my jeans without holes, just grab a pair of scissors and be scissor happy and to give it that bit more of an edge, rip those babies until you feel like you can see enough leg.

Jewelry, again to give it that street style look I just went for a black choker, another favorite trend of mine lately.

Footwear, one word, BOOTS, who doesn't love a good pair of boots, me Il wear them all year round once I pair them with the right outfit. Here I went for a black patent boots, again I feel like it gives that something extra to the outfit and just made it complete.

Don't get me wrong, the amount of times I was asked, Are you wearing your Pyjama's? or Did you fall because you have a few holes in your jeans??. Ignore them once you can pull off that look and feel confident girl you own it.

Everything I'm Wearing you can purchase HERE.

Girls its now acceptable to go out in your pj's whooowho, ha just not your fluffy ones or the bottoms. Haha

Until next time my loves,

Claire xxxx

SOSU Lashes

Hi My Loves,

Ok.. Ok.. I know I done a blog post a few weeks back on the Instant effects instant lash and how you wont need lashes again and I still stand by that. Its an amazing product and my lashes are amazing from using it everyday.

But... When I seen the SOSU Lashes and that packaging I knew I had to have them, yes I am that girl who is a sucker for cute packaging even if the product is crap I will still buy it. The SOSU lashes that are inside the pretty box are without doubt the best lashes I have ever put near my eyes. I knew that if the lashes are as amazing as the contour kit I would love them.

I bought the SOSU lash in Sara on Thursday and I wore it for three days, three days guys, a €5.95 lash and I know for a fact I will get another three days out of it.

Just look at how pretty and natural they are...

The lashes themselves are Human Hair Lashes which consist of x8 styles to choose from for just €5.95, they are the ones in the black pretty boxes, I love them that much I went and bought 6 styles for New York.

Then you have the White boxes which are even prettier again they are the luxury 3D silk lashes which can be used up to 20 times, 20 times that's crazy and are priced at €19.95. They will def be my next purchase, I have to have them in my life.

The application is so easy, I cant even believe it, the lash has an invisible band which is amazing, you don't even need to wear liner, which for those of you who struggle with liner will love. They are so light weight and a perfect fit for your eyes, well they were for mine, there was no need to even trim the lash it fit on so neatly and looked beautiful. There is no glue with the lashes, so I use the Duo Adhesive which I think is the best, I let the glue sit on the lash for maybe 30 seconds until its tacky and then apply it to my own lashes, make sure when applying any lashes that you let the glue get tacky before applying, it makes the lash go on more easily.

Guys, if you are a lover of lashes please go and try the SOSU lashes, they are the best lashes I have ever tried and are so natural,beautiful and very reasonably price considering how many times you can reuse them.

Head over to www.sosueme.ie to check out all the other styles.

If your from Dundalk guys, head to Kieran Avenue Pharmacy they have a good selection of the Natural hair lashes and if you want the 3D Silk Lashes you can purchas them in Castletown Pharmacy.

If you do go out and grab yourself a pair, make sure you take a selfie and tag me in the picture.

Happy lashes my loves,
