Charles Worthington Intense Rescue Melting Balm
Currently on offer in Boots. Unusual in that's it's solid and you have to warm it up first. After a year of dying my hair every 6 weeks, it had turned into dry unmanageable red/copper straw. After using this, it is in perfect condition, very silky, soft and shiny. 10/10
I also repurchased MAC F&B N1 and Sheer Select NC5. Delighted with them as well.0 -

The last time I was in Jervis the make up was over towards the shoes & accessories. Might be worth asking one of the guys working there if you're in again in case they hoosh around the layout of the store a good bit.0 -
I recently got NYX's blush in Taupe
Love it ! So good for contouring if your really pale, looks very natural and not too dark or orange at all really hard to get NYX here so i ordered off ebay cost around 10$ or 7€ roughly, including delivery from the states, which was really quick, ordered last wednesday and got it yesterday

I've seen NYX bits and bobs like small eyeshadow pallettes in Urban Outfitters and River Island, and got a big eyeshadow pallet for around 15€ just after Christmas in House of Fraser last year. Dont think anywhere in Ireland stocks full range. Beautyemporium.ie stock a few bits. But as i said i got mine on Ebay. Cant wait to get my hands on some of the soft matte lip creams 0

Bought some nice new things today
I've heard some AMAZING things about this and for only 2.50 I had to give it a try
They only had one shade which was the darkest and probably a little too dark for my pale complexion but I just had to buy it to see what it was like
I haven't worn this in about 5 years! But I'm in need of a new light coverage daytime foundation so I decided to give it a go. If i remember it had a bad staying ability but hopefully its not as bad as I remember. . . .
I love MUA cosmetics so I went and bought one of their really cute lipsticks. It reminds me slightly of Revlon lip butters
I needed a new eyeshadow base colour. Its a nice matte beige colour (shade 17)0 -

beautyemporium.ie sells a good range of NYX products, and usually with delivery the next day. Ebay is good as well, but depending on where the seller is based it can take a while for stuff to arrive. That probably doesn't matter to most people though but I'm very impatientgingernut125 wrote: »Is there anywhere in Ireland that stocks NYX?

This stuff is about as good at taking off eye makeup (*especially* mascara) as clicking your heels together and wishing it off
Took eye makeup off this morning (last night the beer told me there was no need to take off clothes or make up & just to head straight to bed) and just got out of the shower looking like this

Got No. 7 Beautiful Skin Cleansing Balm (for very dry skin) today, had to try it out when I got home and I'm liking it, so far. I originally thought it was going to be like Ponds Cold Cream, thick and heavy, but not at all - feels like rubbing light moisturiser of the skin and them washes off like a regular cleanser. Was €11 (and a bit) so not too bad!

Couple of things from Lush:
King of Skin solid moisturiser. This is a solid block, and you use it on wet skin, then rinse it off. LOVE it! Made my skin so soft. It was about €9 I think.
Popcorn Lip Scrub. Does the job but I'm not mad on the taste.
Charity Pot hand and body moisturiser. Tiny (and €1) and perfect for the handbag. Nice scent and is moisturising on my hands.

I think I've finally found a product that actually works. This is a protein treatment that does not leave your hair brittle!! :eek:
Hair Mayonnaise, meet the beauty board; beauty board, meet Hair Mayonnaise:
You can find it at the ethnic hair section at bigger Boots. I am caucasian myself. And as advised by bloggers, etc., I used it as a pre-shampoo treatment. And the results are heavenly. My hair is so soft (I actually forgot how soft my hair can be). It seriously reduced the brittleness of it too. And I think I prefer this to Joico K-Pak and Redken Extreme CAT.
But beware, I read a few reviews/blogs saying that this was too much for their hair. It is best for truly damaged hair. Think bleach and heat damage together.
I think you might be onto something there. Tried it this evening and was quiet impressed. Could be the beauty find of 2013.0 -
bought a new shampoo in tesco its a pink bottle called head masters volume shampoo and its amazing! Finally one that works plus its not a sulphate free one (maybe its just me but I hate them find them useless) and leave your hair really shiny and i've found it stops my hair getting greasy too quick.
am tempted to buy another bottle in case they don't keep stocking it
am also going to kill my OH if he keeps using it - he does not need volume!! 0 -
Bought myself a couple of treats yesterday. Was in Boots and saw the must desired Dot set from Marc Jacobs I'd been eyeing up for months, down to €31 from €62! Also nipped into Brown Thomas and ended up buying Nars duo in Brousse which I'm seriously loving!
