My Top 5 Favorite Essence Nail Varnish's!

I love love love Essence nail varnish! Its been one my my favorite brands for years. There quality products for great prices and you can buy Essence in nearly every Pharmacy! They are usually €1.25 each which is a really affordable price. I love there nail varnish's because they have a wide variety of colours and so many to choose from. There nail varnish is thick in texture which covers the nail well and you don't have to do multiple coats... Although some can chip quite easily, you can get clear nail varnish and put a coat over your dry painted nails and it helps your nail varnish stay longer and chip less. Since I love my Essence nails varnish's and I am always changing my nail colour I thought I would share my five favorite colours from Essence. If any of you are big Essence fans like me share your favorite colours or other products with me, Id love to hear! Here they are; My Top 5 Favorite Essence Nail Varnish's:

NYX - Make-Up Artist Kit!

Another great eyeshadow (and blusher/lip gloss) set is the NYX make-up artist palette that I bought about 2 months ago in TKmaxx on sale for €10. Yes €10!!! It was a steal I couldn't pass up and I'm very glad I didn't! This set is amazing! It has the colours I love from naturals to bright and colourful! There are 36 eyeshadows and the top also slides out and underneath is a blush and lip gloss section! There is 4 different colour blushes and bronzers; 3 sectioned blushes and highlighters and 5 lip glosses. The colours are great and there's so many to choose from, there very smooth and stay very well on your eyes. The blush colors range from dark brown to light pink. The highlighter is great and shows up really well in pictures. Its also very useful if your going away for the night/weekend or on holidays as it has all the colours you'll need and some blushers and lip glosses too! Its also a great present idea for someone who loves make-up! I highy recommend this to all you eyeshadow lovers, you will LOVE this palette!

For those BIG eyelash lovers!

Lashes on! :)
Just a little post for all of you fake eyelash lovers out there! I recently bought a set of 10 pairs of fake eyelashes from Ebay and really really love them! You can choose from three different styles - short and thin, long and thin or long and thick. I bought the long and thick ones as I already have quite long lashes and need these ones for extra thickness. They are very cheap and only cost €5 for the 10 pairs and for delivery, you also get a little bottle of glue included. Although the glue is very small and might not last for the 10 pairs you can buy eyelash anywhere from pharmacy's to Eurostore's! These are great for those of you who wear false lashes every day or those of you like me who just like to wear them for nights out and special occasions. And if you keep them in good condition you can re-use them over and over again.


Other false lashes I love are the Essence big and flirty lashes, there very long and thick and create more of a dramatic look. The glue is excellent and keeps your lashes on all night long and whats even better is there only €2.99!

CATRICE - Smokey Eyes Set!

Without a doubt eyeshadow is my favorite beauty product, I love it because you can create so many different looks and can really open out your eyes and make them look bigger, which we all love! There are so many different types and colors to choose from! I have ALOT of different eyeshadows and I am a big fan of smokey eye colors and sets - My favorite smokey eye set has definatley got to be Catrice Smokey eye set. It has three different color eyeshadows and one creamy black liner! First there is a creamy pale color, a light brown and a deep brown/black color. You also get a little eyeshadow applicator and liner brush. I love this product because the eyeshadows are easy to apply and comes out very smooth. The colors also blend in well together and creates the perfect smokey eye! It is very inexpensive too, and only costs around €5 and lasts very long! And as it is small and compact you can carry it in your bag anywhere you go. I highly recommend this product for the perfect sultry smokey eye for those nights out with the girls or dinner dates with your other half :)

Elf Stipple brush - The love of my life!

First of all if you haven't already got a Stipple brush then you better go out and get one right now!! I dont know what I ever did without mine. For those of you who dont know what a Stipple brush is ill tell you right now! A Stipple brush is a mix between a foundation brush and a blusher brush in one! Its brissels are very soft which makes your make-up go on nice and smoothly and feels great on your skin! Now how to use it - When applying your foundation first use your foundation brush and when you brushed it all in then get a small bit more of make-up on your hand and brush your Stipple brush over it and start applying it all over your face, very softly. It gives you a clean, smooth and perfect coverage and no blotches! It also keeps your make-up on for longer so you don't need to keep applying it over and over again which can give you that blotchy look. There are also a lot of different brands of Stipple brushes out there and many of them can be very expensive like MAC. The one I use and absolutely love is Elf, and I paid about €10 for it on Ebay - It was the best money ever spent! I hope you all enjoyed reading this post and if any of you go out and buy a Stipple brush, let me know what you think, and I hope you love yours as much as I love mine!
