Shade adjusting drops

We all know the now hard it can be to match our foundation perfectly or when wearing false tan our foundation doesn't match, and we only realise it when looking back at infamous photos of our night out and a white face looks back at you like it's on the wrong body, well I found this little gem that solves all that from the body shop its the darkening shade adjusting drops, and they are amazing 1 drop darkens your foundation by half a shade so you can adjust to your perfect shade its that simple, they also do a lightening drops that lighten up your foundation if it's to dark, so its win win either way, I love this product and it has earned a permanent place in my makeup bag.

The shade adjusting drops are priced at €17.00 from the body shop nationwide and online

Primer

My makeup doesn't last and slips when wearing a silicone primer, so I have been on the hunt for a good primer, I have used no7 in the past and liked it so I popped in to boots liffey valley to see if I could get the same primer, but to my disappointment it has been discontinued, but it has been replaced with a new primer its called no7 Airbrush Away, and it is brilliant better than any primer I have used my makeup didn't move it lasted all day and nights out too, you only need a small amount I like to let it sit and absorb into my skin (and it does absorb it doesn't just sit on top of the skin) for 5 minutes before doing my usual makeup routine,

I would recommend this primer to everyone it really is amazing, it retails at €25.25 and is worth every penny,

The power style

Been a hairdresser for 16 years I have seen many products pass through the salon some great, some good, and some not so good, but a few months ago I seen 2 products the first is called the power styler and it is a brilliant product, it's 2 ceramic clips that attach to the nozzle of your hair dryer for a smooth flawless blowdry and its amazing, it eliminates frizz and having to use a straightener on your hair, that's because its like blow drying and straightening your hair all in one go, saves time and the use of multiple tools.
I honestly love this product styling my hair is so much easier and it lasts this is definitely one of my favourite products to come across.
Available to purchase in sally salon services at varied locations in Ireland priced at €15 plus vat or outside of Ireland you can purchase from www.daroko.com 

                                                                                       

The second product is a set of brushes called the kodo lock and roll set, in the set you get 1 pin tail comb 6 brushes with 1 handle that is removable, it's brilliant for doing curly blow drys in salon or at home you can easily do your curly blow dry section by section, remove the handle and leave the brush is til the hair cools and sets creating a fabulous curl, only problem is I like to leave all brushes in til the end of the blow dry wait for a few minutes til all the hair has cooled and set, that's in salon styling a clients hair and at home doing my own hair, so 6 brushes is not enough I feel I need at least 12 to do the perfect curly blow dry, and at €34.99 plus vat per set a lot of money but I personally feel it's worth this set is available to purchase from salon savers and capital hair and beauty in parkwest.

Lipsticks

So I'm on the hunt for the perfect red lipstick, not a bright red a deep red almost wine in color,only problem in trying to find the right shade is the deeper the red/wine I go it becomes a plum/purple color, so I had to try and test loads but its not easy when you have your mind made up on a certain color, so I had to expand my boundaries so to speak, and start looking for the perfect long lasting non drying lipstick and as deep red as possible, so here is what I found loved and liked.

So far the maybellene 975, the sleek matte 791 and the nyx hvls16, the maybellene 975 is long lasting and didn't dry out, the sleek matte 791 was nice long lasting but a little bit drying, and the nyx hvls 16 was a moisturizing lipstick didn't dry out but didn't last as long as the others, the inglot 175 is a lovely color and wears really well but I would prefer it in a matte, which you can't get at the moment and finally the nyx hvls 09 is a deep purple and wears the same as the other nyx. 

These are my 5 top picks and now that its coming into spring, it's nearly time to ditch the deep lipsticks and get out the bright and beautiful shades, but I feel that the a red lip is a classic statement the will never go out of style, so perfect your shade and please feel free to share your favourites with me.
