Urban Decay Naked Skin Range

Urban Decay can do nothing wrong in my eyes. Any product I have ever bought from Urban Decay I have absolutely loved. A couple of months ago I decided to take a trip to Urban Decay to treat myself to some new make up. Everyone needs to treat themselves once in awhile. So here is what I picked up!

I had been wanting to try their "Naked Skin" Foundation for awhile so I decided I would finally take the plunge and buy it. I do wear the lightest shade in this foundation which is 0.1. I love this foundation so much. The coverage is fantastic and the colour matches my skin perfectly. It does last on my face all day and never tends to wear off. The texture is a very thin liquid and it spreads easily when applying to the face. The finish of this foundation is a natural finish and I absolutely love it.  This foundation will set you back €34

The next product I picked up was the Naked Skin Concealer. I had heard a lot about this Concealer and decided I'd also try it. This concealer is supposed to be a dupe for the Nars Creamy Concealer. This product quickly became my favourite, I grab for it every time I do my make up. This is a full coverage concealer with a light weight feel. It does set very quickly and has a matte finish. It does stay on me all day and does not crease under my eyes. I wear the shade light neutral in this concealer. This product retails at €22

Since I picked up and Foundation and Concealer the women serving me twisted my arm to also buy the powder, and I sure am glad that she did. This is my holy grail powder since buying it, I haven't used another powder since. If I'm ever having a bad make up day, I pop on some of this powder and it never fails to make my make up look absolutely flawless. It gives a semi matte finish. My shade in this powder is Medium Light.
This powder will set you back €30

I hope you enjoyed this post.

BeBrows

So it's been a very long time since I've sat down and wrote a blog post for you all, after everyone telling me I should get back into blogging, they loved reading my blog, finally I've bit the bullet and i'm back!

I decided to write a post about BeBrows. I've recently got BeBrows done and for those of you sitting reading this thinking "BeBrows? What are BeBrows?" They're basically a softer HD Brow that make your brow more defined and I absolutely love them!

I got my BeBrows done in Ebano in Ballinteer for €18 as I was a model for a friend but it usually costs €38 which I will definitely be going back to get them done when needs be.

Before I got BeBrows done my eyebrows were just shocking. I was definitely a over-plucker when I was younger resulting in me now struggling to grow out my eyebrows. Since getting these BeBrows I've noticed such a difference in my eyebrows and they're even starting to grow out yaaay!

I would definitely recommend BeBrows to anyone who wants to completely transform their brows!

My Skincare Products

I do have very dry skin but I do tend to get the odd few spots on my face, so today I decided to write a post on the products that work for me personally and suit my skin type!

Garnier Moisture Match moisturizer - Dry to very dry skin
This thing is litreally my saviour when it comes to my skin. It is a must have in my make up drawers and I use it daily. I went through a bad time with my skin awhile back and I just could not manage the dryness of it until I was introduced to this product by a friend and I haven't looked back since!
The cream is very thick and luxurious, it makes the skin feel very soft. Although the cream is thick is it not greasy at all on the face. It hydrates the face and is a must have product if you have dry skin.

This product costs €7.99 and is available from many drugstores.








Neutrogena Grapefruit Face Wash
I've seen a few bad reviews on this face wash but personally I loved it. I use it twice a day, morning and night and I've seen a huge improvement in my skin since I've started using this. My spots have reduced massively and I tend to not get spots very often as I used to suffer with spots. I rub this product between my fingers before applying to my face. The texture is thick but applies well once rubbed between my fingers first. I think the smell is amazing!Although recently a friend told me that this product makes dry skin oily and this was hugely disappointing to me as I have noticed that my skin has  I'd love some recommendations!
become oily and my make up tends to become horrible through-out the day. I have stopped using this product since and am currently on the look out for a new face wash.

This costs €6.29 and is available from many outlets nationwide.

Neutrogena Grapefruit Daily Scrub
As I have dry skin I tend to need an exfoliater for my face, I have tried out many different exfoliaters and as I got the face wash I decided to get the scrub also. After using this product my skin feels so clean and soft. I think this has also contributed to the fact that I no longer get spots as much as I used to. This product is designed to eliminate spots and that's exactly what it does. The smell isn't too overpowering it has a nice scent to it!

€6.29 from outlets nationwide










Soap and Glory - DR Spot
Honestly I don't know how I lasted so long without this product. It is a gel that you rub on your spots even if you feel a spot coming on you just pop a bit of this product on your skin and let it work its magic. I've been using this for a good few months now and my spots have rapidly disappeared. The product stings when you put it on but the way I think is if it stings, it's doing it's job! I would highly recommend this product to anybody who is suffering with spots or acne as it is a brilliant product!

Avalible from boots and it retails at €9.99

LUSH Face Mask - Mask of Magnaminty
Again this product is designed for acne prone skin, although I don't suffer from acne I do tend to get an odd spot so I decided to pick up this face mask while I was shopping. I use this mask once every 1-2 weeks and I love it. There is a strong peppermint smell from the product which I am not very fond of but I do love the feel of my skin after I use this product. It leaves my skin so soft and fresh. It definitely does help with my spots as do all the products I've mentioned above. I love using products that eliminate spots who doesn't?!

I can't remember how much this cost but it was in and around €6 or €7

LUSH - Tea Tree Toner

Anything with tea tree is a must have as I  have said I do suffer from spots the odd time and I like to get rid of them as soon as possible! I've seen a few people like Zoella write about this product so I decided I would give it a try! I use this twice a day morning & night and I just spray it directly onto my face before moisturizing. I do believe this does contribute to keeping my spots away and will definitely be repurchasing!
Anything with tea tree in it is a must have for me as

Again I cannot remember the price but it's not too much!

Thank you for reading! 

I hope this helps if you have acne-prone or dry skin,

REVIEW: Nars Sheer Glow Foundation

I know, I'm a little late to the party with this post but I just could not decide weather I wanted this foundation or not. I think this is every beauty bloggers favorite foundation and I've wanted it for so long but I just never took the plunge and as I have dry skin I heard this foundation was great for that so finally after reading many reviews I decided to pop into Brown Thomas and get a sample of the Nars Sheer Glow Foundation.

 
Immediately when I got home I applied the foundation and needed the full size. I received a lot of money after I got my Leaving Cert results so I decided I was going to treat myself to this foundation. My shade in this foundation is "Deauville" and it matches my skin perfect. The coverage of this foundation is definitely buildable. I apply this using my Real Techniques Stippling Brush, Buffing Brush or Miracle Complexion Sponge, Which ever I feel like using when applying my make up.



When I first applied Nars Sheer Glow I loved it, as the day went on I felt like I needed to touch up my make up with powder because I felt my skin looked a little oily as I have dry skin I was kind of shocked by this. My foundation looked dull by the end of the day and I just could not wait to take my make up off. I am a little disappointed because of this but I will continue to use this foundation until I find a way that it lasts well on my skin and looks well throughout the day. I never usually need to touch up my make up but when using this foundation that isn't the case.

Nars Sheer Glow foundation costs €40, the pump is not included it costs an extra €4 for the pump.


Have you tried this foundation? Let me know in the comments what you thought of it.                                                           Thank-you for reading, Leah x

REVIEW: Dream Dots!

When these arrived in the post I was so excited to try them. I've heard many good things about these dream dots and have been dying to try them. I got in touch with the people at Dream Dots and they agreed kindly to send me out their product to review for my blog. Although I've been sent these Dream Dots this does not effect my review, My review is my honest opinion and the PR sample does not effect my opinion. 

Dream Dots are an overnight spot treatment to help clear breakouts. You apply the dot before you got to bed and let the dot work overnight, in the morning you remove the dot and cleanse your skin.
I've been battling with a spot on my face for the past week now, no matter what I used the spot would just not go away, so I could not wait to try Dream Dots. I put the dot on my face before I went to bed and when I woke up I could not believe what the dot had done. The spot had gone down, reduced redness and now the spot is barely noticeable. I was so impressed as I've been battling for the past week to get rid of this angry spot but with Dream Dots it disappeared after just one use. After using Dream Dots I cannot imagine not having them in my life. I think they are an essential to anybody, they're so easy to use and when I run out of the ones I have, I will definitely repurchase. If you've an important event coming up Dream Dots is your friend, it'll get rid of that nasty spot in no time!

Dream Dots cost €15 for 24 dots and are available from pharmacy's nationwide or at www.dreamdotsforspots.com
