Christmas Beauty Buy of the week!

Happy Saturday :) 

This week I am back with round two of my Christmas Beauty Buy of the week. I hope you enjoyed last weeks edition, if you missed it then you can have a read here. 

I had a few ideas running around my head for this weeks post but I wasn't 100% happy with any of them, until I found this gift and I knew it was the perfect one! 

I am sure all of you beauty addicts have heard of Suzanne Jackson from SoSueMe, Ireland's leading Fashion and Beauty Blogger. She launched her own brand SOSU by Suzanne Jackson earlier this year and it includes a 25 piece Gel Polish Collection without the lamp. I have tried about 12 polishes out of her collection including the top coat and I can honestly say I love them! 

The colours are super pigmented which really impressed me from the get go and most of all they last really well when worn in conjunction with a base coat and a top coat. Both are also available in the SOSU collection.  Suzanne has done a fantastic job and all of her hard work paid off, she has given us an amazing gel polish range. 

Lucky for us, SOSU is launching an Exclusive Christmas Gift Set which will be available from next week on wards in pharmacies and Pennys stores.  
And here it is....! 

NEW : SOSU by Suzanne Jackson Raspberry & Grape Nail Polish Remover and x2 Christmas Gel polishes 'Rudolphs Mistress' & 'Posion Apple' Gift Set.

From a quick glance I am sure you will agree that the packaging is just so pretty.

Inside you will find x2 best selling polishes and the BRAND NEW SOSO by Suzanne Jackson nail polish remover. It is a non drying formula, acetone free and infused with Vitamin E & Argan oil to keep your nails cared for. 

There will be a choice of three gel polish combos and three beautiful nail polish remover scents to choose from. The nail polish removers will be sold separately too. 

**Price: €19.99**

This would make a brilliant present or stocking filler for any beauty lover you know! :)  Again, these will be available from pharmacies and Pennys stores from next week onwards,

I hope you enjoyed this weeks Christmas Beauty Buy! P.s. this day next month Christmas will be done and dusted already! The year absolutely flew by.

Enjoy your weekend with whatever antics you get up to, Im heading out tonight to a Black Tie Dinner Dance so im very excited to get all glammed up! :)  

Love, 

Aoife

Christmas Beauty Buy of the week!

It's Friday and what a better way to kick it off then with some Christmas gift ideas! 

I know I am jumping on the countdown to Christmas bandwagon, but I am just all too excited!! Just to clear it up... we are exactly five weeks away from the big day. If your like me then you are probably totally unorganized and have no gifts bought already! I am usually on top of it from Halloween and buy little bits here and there so I am ready in time for Christmas, but for some reason not this year. 

Anyway, from now until Christmas I will be bringing you all some gift ideas and this is my first.

Benefit REAL Cheeky Party Christmas Gift Set 

€43

This set contains 5 of Benefit's famous Powders, their bestselling mascara and new push up liner. It all comes in a really funky tin.

Inside you have got: 

'They’re Real!' Mascara mini 

'They’re Real!' Push-Up Liner mini 


Watt’s Up! 
Highlighting cream 

Sugarbomb 
Blusher

Rockateur 
Blusher

Dandelion 
Blusher

Hoola 
Bronzer

CORALista 
Blush

This is a star buy in my opinion, generally those bronzers and blushers are €34 EACH and here you are getting five of them plus three other fantastic products for €43! Yes they aren't all full size but they will definitely last you a long time, they are still a great size. 

If you are following me on Snapchat you would have seen this set feature on my story during the week. I done a few swatches of the products and chatted a little about each. If you missed it don't worry, keep an eye out and I will share the love with you all again!


This set would make a fantastic gift for any beauty lover out there! I cannot recommend it enough for quality, quantity and value.
 It is perfect for a professional as well as the day to day make up lovers! 

Benefit have more sets similar to this containing different products in the same price range so you are sure to find something that suits you or a fabulous friend! 

Get hinting ladies ;)  

You can get yours here , Happy Shopping!

Review | Inglot HD & YSM Foundation.

Happy Humpday!

I hope your all having a good week.

I am back today with a review of my most used day to night foundations. Inglot is rapidly becoming my favourite make up brand, their range of products is endless and the quality is second to none. Not to mention the pocket friendly price point!

Let's jump right in!

1) Inglot HD Perfect Coverup Foundation.

This is a long lasting and full coverage foundation. It balances out skin tone and conceals any imperfections while preventing any excess shine. You will be provided with a natural flawless finish. 

The formulation is enriched with white truffle extract which keeps your skin moist. It is suited to all skin types, including sensitive skin. Although, for dry skin I would recommend mixing the foundation with an illuminiser or moisturizer as it is a thick foundation. It will blend easier into dry skin this way. Personally, I don't have dry skin but I love using the Boots Radiance Balm or Seventeen's 3 in 1 primer and highlighting serum. They give off a gorgeous glow.

The HD Pigments in the foundation make it ideal for everyday use, as well as nights out to be picture perfect without the flashback from the foundation. 

I go between foundation brushes depending on the day, but now I have been reaching for my Inglot 4SS brush to apply my foundations 100% of the time! It gives a seamless, flawless application. It's neat size means it is perfect for use in around the nose and eye area as well.

For every day use I wear shade 71, for nights out and when I am wearing tan I wear shade 73. Shade 77 I think seems to be the most popular, but for pink undertones and pale faced ladies like myself, it means I have to opt for the lightest shades in most foundations!

Inglot HD Perfect Coverup Foundation retails at €33 and is available from any Inglot counter or you can purchase it online here.

The 4SS Brush is a make up kit must have, it is a fantastic multi purpose tool. I need to pick up another! You can get yours here for €22.

2) Inglot YSM Cream Foundation.

This was actually the first Inglot foundation I tried after hearing so much good about it. It is a lightweight, long lasting, medium to full coverage foundation. It is suitable for all skin types and provides a matte finish while leaving your skin looking radiant. 

In fact, YSM stands for Young Skin Makeup and it has active ingredients which leave the skin looking and feeling youthful. The foundation is enriched with peach extract to really nourish your skin while making it look airbrushed!

I usually apply this with my Blank Canvas F20 or my Nima Flat Top Kabuki Brush, but I am eager and excited to try it with my Inglot 4SS brush now that I am a proud owner of it!!  

I use the shade 49, which in fact is a little to dark for me to wear day to day. So I must invest in a new lighter shade!! 

This one retails at €20, again it is available from any Inglot counter or you can purchase it now here.

I would and have recommended Inglot products to so many people. You will be sure to find something that suits you, there is just so much to choose from! 

If you follow me on Snapchat and have caught a glimpse of some of my make up tutorials you will know I use a large range of Inglot products. From powders to blushers and eye shadows, pigments, foundations, Duraline and so much more. 

To make it better, the 'Inglot Girls' as I call them are always super helpful when you pop in! They are so friendly and will help you find something to suit you!

Finally, tomorrow night, Thursday the 12th all Inglot stores are having a VIP Night! It is free to attend from 6pm - 9pm. You can avail of 10% off all products including the stunning New Christmas Palette and 20% off their 14 piece brush kit! 

If that wasn't good enough there will be a DJ, Masterclasses, Eye Make Up Demo using the New Palette and prizes! 

I will be in Inglot Liffey Valley, See you there ladies! 

Lots of love,

Aoife
