Is that the gel wash in the big white tube? I have it at home but never really gave it a chance, maybe I should!

Yep thats the one

I'd be careful about using this too much though... I know caroline hirons definitely recommends that you shouldn't really use it unless very oily/acne skin

Really? I hadnt heard that before. Now I do use a moisturiser as well as these two in the morning but ive been going with this for perhaps a month now and I havnt noticed dry patches or redness!

Yeah I've edge finitely read that on her blog before... But if you're finding it suits your skin then stick with it... I'm a believer in sticking with what works! Bent maybe just keep an eye out in case you start to notice it getting dry/dehydrated :-)

Clinique cc cream by far the BEST product I've used in a long time



Clinique high impact mascara love it makes me look like I'm wearing false lashes



Clinique pink chocolate quad - love it



Essence sun club giant bronzer - very impressed




Rimmel bb tan and mitt - haven't used it yet




Catrice lip balm in 'another pink panther'
Love this light pink shade



And here's a photo wearing all the above bar the rimmel tan

Has anyone bought the new No7 serum yet which was launched at the weekend and if so what is it like?

Bought these rouge pots from Bobbi Brown. Absolutely love them. Can be used on lips and cheeks.

Oops sorry about the crazy large sized pictures! I thought I had resized them.

I'm obsessed with the Sugar Crush range from Soap & Glory so as soon as I read about their new body range Orangeasm (which is meant to be amazing) I was all over Boots, there's a 3 for 2 so I ordered one body butter and two of the matching fragrances. If only they'd bring out a spray to match the Sugar Crush range too I'd be in heaven! I'll be keeping an eye out for the postie all week now!

I just ran out if my S&G sugar crush scrub this morning so think it will pick up that new orange one during the week. Love citrus fragrances for summer

I treated myself to this and a butterball bath bomb from Lush the other day

Just an update on my dry facial brush, it is amazing, I always look after my skin but it has never been so even toned.

I also bought this Herbal essences classic shampoo and I LOVE it, I had a hair disaster after trying to wash my hair with baking soda and thought I would never get my hair to feel right again but this left it feeling great.



It's a pity they didn't also bring back the classic clarifying shampoo because I find the new one to be rubbish.

Treated myself to this at the airport. I had planned on getting the Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess but found it a bit too coconutty for me!

Considering getting the Smashbox full exposure palette, does anyone here have it, and it is good?

I have the original naked palette but have hit pan on some shadows, and wouldn't mind a back up of another palette as they are so handy, esp for going away.

I have it and quite like it ... I use all the shadows in it !

Picked up a bunch of stuff from Liz Early today. They have an offer for their hot cloth cleanser, toner, moisturiser and foundation for €49 with free delivery. I've been meaning to try the cleanser for a while and the price was so reasonable I figured I'd just pick up the other stuff too. With just the cleanser alone and delivery on top it wouldn't have been far off that price anyway. The foundation will almost definitely be the wrong shade for my skin, but it came free with it so no harm. Looking forward to trying it all

Starting a new job soon and have already blown some of my pay cheque





At least I now have a tenner on my Debenhams card

Used this for the first time last night. It's like Vanish carpet cleaner for a face full of makeup. Smeared it on, massaged it around and then wiped it off with a load of cotton wool (still have yet to buy a muslin cloth) and it took every last bit of makeup off in one application. And it's super cheap (about 4 euro in Boots at the moment).

Belle E. Flops

I want to try that Naked foundation, it has great reviews.

I may have been bad myself lately.
Got the MAC pro palette that holds 15 shadows and picked up 8 shadows to go into it. I had never used MAC shadows before but so far they seem such good quality and I'm really liking them.

Trying out a load of NYX stuff and think this will be my new go to brand for a while, loving the lip butter, blush, kohl kajal liner (it's as black as perversion from UD) and now want the setting sprays, all the lip butters and their primers!

They're in pharmacies nationwide now girls!:D

Any one caught a glimpse of a NYX stand anywhere in Limerick?

Picked up one of the Seventeen Stay Pout lippies in boots the other day and its love - they are really long lasting without wearing off funny - definitely going to go back for more!

http://www.boots.ie/en/SEVENTEEN-Stay-Pout-Lipstick_1395217/

the shade I got was Make an Entrance which is a fab summery orangey red shade.

Some of the shades did seem quite shimmery though which is a pity

Can I ask which pharmacy you found it in? I tried Dundrum, Stillorgan, Dun Laoghaire, Leopardstown, Rathfarnham and Beacon today with no luck!

Tell me about it, growing increasingly more frustrated by the day! Cannot quite believe there is not one stockist in the whole of Dublin yet. Do I really have to travel to Meath or Kildare to satisfy my curiosity?!

My impatience just goes to show how much I LOVE the brand and the products!

If someone spots a stand in Dublin, please let me know before I burst!
