Purchase of the week: All Nighter Setting Spray Urban Decay

I love this spray! It's basically hairspray for the face, it sets your makeup for up to 16hrs and also has temperature control to help reduce shine! 

At the conference last week in Manchester we were all lucky enough to be given the big bottle of it but it was taken at customs and I can honestly say I wanted to cry haha!

I picked up a travel size bottle today as it's just easier to bring around with me! It has 30ml and is €12. You simply spray your face with either 4 sprays in an 'X' and 'T' motion or 3 sprays to side middle and other side whatever you rather! 

You won't be able to live without it once you use it trust me! 

This is available on any Urban Decay Counter or on the Debenhams website!

My Top 4 Liquid Eyeliner Pens!

My next few blog posts are going to be on my fave liners in their different forms such as liquid, pencil, gel and pens! I couldn't live without liner it's a part of me so It's only right I share my faves of each type! 

I'm going to start it off with Liner pens! These are so handy and People tend to find them much easier to use than the traditional liquid so it seems logical! 

 

1- Ink for Eyes Urban Decay €20 

Ok so you prob guessed it but Urban Decay take the winning spot with their Ink for Eyes precision pen liner! This is absolutely amazing, it's just on another level if you ask me! It goes on so easily, you can create such a gorgeous flick with it and the point is so thin which allows you to have the option of keeping the line thin or building on it! This will stay on all day without smudging or fading! It's lasting power is unlike anything I've ever used before! If it's good enough for Kim Kardashian on her wedding day then I'm pretty sure it's good enough for me! 

2- Eyeko Skinny Liner Pen €12 approx

This was my first eye liner pen and I still absolutely love it! It's very similar to the Ink for Eyes the tip is just a tiny bit thicker and lasting power isn't as good! Don't get me wrong you'll still get a 6-8 hours before you have to touch it up depending on what you're doing but with Urban's version it's unlikely you'll have to touch up at all! 

3- L'Oreal Blackbuster €9.99

This is also a very good quality pen and creates a thicker line with first stroke! This liner is particularly good for a dramatic look! It's down fall is it just doesn't last long enough! You'l get about 4 hours before you have to touch it up! 

4- NYX Felt Tip Liner Pen €10.99 

The last pen I'll be talking about today is the NYX liner pen! It has a fine tip which again gives you an option on how thick you want your liner and it is definitely long lasting but I just found it just a little jumpy on the lash line which kind of annoyed me! Other than that It's great quality! 

What I love about all of these is that the nibs are solid and don't bend on contact with the lid and that is a lot harder to find than you think! A lot of them begin to weaken after a few uses but these particular ones stay strong! 

My next post will be on the traditional Liquid liners! 

Thank you for reading! I hope you gained something useful from it! 

Talk to you soon!

Purchase of the week: NYX Butter Gloss

I first heard about this gloss from my all time favorite Beauty Vlogger Nicole Guerriero a long time ago but never went out of my way to get one and never saw them even when in salon services where I picked up a blush from the Brand! When Shaws started stocking NYX I went in to see what they had to offer! 

I refrained from going mad and just picked up some butter glosses and a pen liner(separate post coming soon). There's a gorgeous range of colours in the butter glosses so your sure to find a colour for you! The colour pay off is brilliant, It's so moisturising on your lips and will last about an hour maybe two if your not eating but I like to freshen mine up every so often anyway so I don't mind that especially when it costs €6.49!  

Crème Brulee is in the pics below!

There are a few online stores that stock NYX including Littlewoods and Beauty Emporium but as far as I know Shaws and Salon Services type shops are the only physical stores where this brand is available in Ireland! 

Hope you enjoyed guys, talk soon!

Update on where I'm at! :)

Hi Guys, 

So its about time I got back onto this and start writing posts for you again! Before I do that I thought I should update you on where I'm at in life! 

If you follow my Facebook page you'll know I started in Urban Decay on Henry St. in Dublin city centre over a month ago and I am absolutely loving it, to actually become a part of a brand I have always loved is a dream come true! The girls on the counter who have quickly become such good friends are just so so nice and make every day a pleasure along with the people that visit our counter every single day! I truly believe makeup not only enhances how you look but also how you feel about yourself and seeing the smile on people's faces when you've given them a makeover is really priceless! 

Urban Decay and L'Oreal are just brilliant to work for and really appreciate every single persons effort! Tuesday just gone all us UDers were flown to Manchester for the Annual Conference and Awards Night and we were put up in the beautiful Palace Hotel! It was an amazing experience from start to finish! Things are really on the up for Urban Decay and rightfully so! There are so many exciting products on the way that I think you all will absolutely love! They really did spoil us! :) 

There's a few more pics of all us Henry St  UDers but they haven't been put up yet, once I get it il be sure to post it!

I will be continuing on with my purchase of the week series which I'll post after this and at least one other post up weekly! If you have any requests or questions don't hesitate to comment below or mail me! 

Thanks for reading!
