Got this today in debenhams, lovely smell and cheap. Removes make up really well.
Got 3 of those yesterday in the post from Debenhams. (3 for the price of 1) Found it surprisingly good for taking off makeup and it left my skin feeling so soft. However, it really irritated my eyes
(it was actually very good at taking off eye makeup including mascara though!) Very disapointed as it would be a perfect cleanser other than that. Will continue to use it but will use something else on my eyes.
Got the Nip+Fab No Needle Fix on Wednesday. Don't know is it reducing any lines on my face (face is actually very swollen from wisdom tooth removal) but my skin feels really good using it. Certainly better than other serums I have used.
Have ordered the Nip+Fab Makeup Fix from Asos (currently reduced to £10) as I was impressed with the two above products. I am always on the lookout for the perfect primer. Gets great reviews so am looking forward to getting it.
Ordered the body oil (also 3 for the price of one) from Asos, but haven't used it yet. I love my body oils so looking forward to trying this.
Any more recommendations in the Nip+Fab range? Loving what I have tried so far and its not too expensive.
Also waiting on my order from HQ hair of the following
Murad skin perfecting primer with Free Murad Resurgance Sheer Lustre day cream. £22 for the 2 of them. The primer gets mixed reviews but the moisturiser gets mostly good ones! Worried that the primer may be a little dark though:(
2 500ml bottles of Paul Mitchell Super Sculpt styling glaze. Sick of using cheap crap to control the frizz on my fair so have invested in this which I used in the past and found great. Was £20 for the 2 bottles which is pretty good

Oh oh! Was very bold in blanchardstown this afternoon. I only went in to get eyelashes
I was so excited to see the Real Techniques set, i literally grabbed them and went straight to the till without even thinking about it. Ive wanted them for ages and one brush is €10/12 so full set for €25.70. Havent tried them yet but the quality feels nice so far. Bought the hot cloth cleanser with the €7.50 voucher as have read good things on here about it.
Lipgloss is from Penneys Liquid Lipshine NYCIN 0320. I really like these and for €2.49 ye cant go wrong. I refuse to buy dear lipglosses anymore, they dont last. 9/10 for this one as it has high gloss but not too sticky.
Eyeliner is Catrice Smokey Eyes in 010 The Black Earl. Wearing it tonight with the Girls Aloud lashes (love Sarahs ones) and will post a pic tomorrow.0 -

spent some birthday moolah on holidays the other week (don't own any images)
MAC Well Dressed Blush - heard great things, only worn it once so I haven't got an opinion other than it's a pretty colour
KIKO Cosmetics Haul: (layout of the shop was amazing, there was an outlet 10 minutes from where we were staying
)
Mat Fluid - AMAZING, best moisturiser I've ever tried. I have oily/combination skin and this hasn't caused any further outbreaks... Smells exactly like a MAC moisturiser I got a sample of... wish I had bought more as the nearest shop is London
Scrub & Peel wipes - now a convert to exfoliating wipes
Automated Precision Eyeliner & Khol in 713 - as good as UD 24/7 pencil but cost less than 6 euro (top in the picture, slightly darker in real life)
Highly Pigmented Eyeshadow in 173 and 131 - swatched really nicely, haven't worn them yet, but reviews say they're as good as MAC/UD but only cost about 4-5 euro
Full Coverage Concealer in 01 - supposedly a dupe for BB Corrector, cost 10 euro, better IMO than Erase Paste (lighter, less pastey consistency), packaging looks and feel much more expensive than it actually is
Resisted the hundreds of 2 euro nail polishes only bought a base/top coat 0 -

This is the one I use, I got it in the U.K and don't know much it is in Ireland, probably about €40 euros, the same price as the BB foundations.

I use Skin79 bb cream (korean brand I order online) and I can put layer after layer on and it won't cake, it's so good that in the evening if my makeup's come off I can actually put it on over a powdered made up face and it refreshes it without any weirdness, the only product I've ever discovered that can do this!
I got a few lovely bits from beauty emporium as I won a comp!
Loving Sleek pout polish in powder pink, has an spf15 too which is fab! Want more now!
Also got China Glaze in Sweet Hook (photo from daily cookie)
Also got an EOS egg lipbalm, been coveting one for ages! It's medicated and tangerine flavoured so helps with cracked lips and cold sores!

Love the eos lipbalms!!
I was in town looking for a present for my mum's birthday, and I got a set of mini Benefit skincare for her. It was only 12 euro in Clerys, which I think was an awesome price because you get quite a bit! This is what I got her. It's odd that it's dearer on ASOS

Bad weather induced sadness has lead me to several mini-splurges in the last two weeks
Palmers cocoa butter formula hand cream and lip balm. I buy the hand cream religiously but this is the first time I've tried the lip balm. So far I'm impressed, lovely and moisturising without the odd scent of the hand cream.
Good Things bright eyes eye cream from Boots. I usually use the Soap&Glory eye gel or the basic No7 cream for my eyes as I'm prone to the panda look. Using this for nearly 2 weeks now and I like it so much I think I'll buy it again. I had never seen the Good Things section in the skincare aisle before but I might try some more things, the scrub gets good reviews online.
The new Garnier BB cream for oily/combo skin in light. I actually picked this up in Tesco, it was 6€ cheaper than Boots. I hated the original Garnier BB cream but really liking this one so far. No yellowing etc but I'll still probably only use it for more casual days in work. Quite matte initially imo.
No7 Hot Cloth Cleanser. I've used it at least 5/6 times now. I love the application and having a nice relax while I wait for the hotness to fade but the muslin cloth is really miserable! Had a few paranoid 'how huge is my face?!' moments Picked up some muslins in Tesco cheap enough and they're much better. My skin feels really great afterwards too. I'm tempted to try the Liz Earle version when this is gone though. 0 -

Been using No.7 hot cloth cleanser since last weekend now and think it's starting to dry out the skin/area around my nose I also have a few spots, which I didn't have before
Will continue using it for a while more and see, really hope it's not the cleanser cos I love it, it's fab, takes all my make up, even mascara.
I didn't use the muslin cloth that came with it though, tried it on my hand and thought it was rough and scratchy, so I use a soft face cloth instead.0 -
I'm not mad on this at all....but im a very lazy "cleanser". I agree the actual muslin is pathetic...its so tiny.No7 Hot Cloth Cleanser. I've used it at least 5/6 times now. I love the application and having a nice relax while I wait for the hotness to fade but the muslin cloth is really miserable!
I found the opposite tbh. Ive only used it twice in fairness since last weekend, but both times i had to use an eye makeup remover afterwards.I just dont have the patience, everything (incl teeth brushingThe Lovely Muffin wrote: »it's fab, takes all my make up, even mascara.
) is done in the shower. Again, im so lazy though, its facial wash (gel not cream of any type) all the way for me. 0 -
^^^I am pretty sure that the "Good times" eye cream is one of the free gifts with this month's Glamour. I think I'll get it after reading your review:) I think the scrub is another one and the moisturiser another, 4 altogether I think, not sure of the last one!:oPicked up Glamour with the free eye cream and it was only when i got home that I saw that it wasn't the same but a "Balance Me" eye cream. Going to check out reviews on that now. I don't have an eye cream at the moment so hopfully it is good:o Hope my last post didn't confuse anyone.
