Its all about the Aloe ......



I had the pleasure of trying out the products available from Sharon Mullins at Forever Living Products Ireland Ltd.  As i have mentioned many times before my skin is so sensitive i have to be so careful what i use so i was delighted to see these are perfect for those with sensitive skin. Not to mention all natural.

My favorite products from the Skincare range are in pictures below.

First Picture .... Toothpaste.  This has a really minty flavor not too over powering and also helps to naturally whiten your teeth.  So gentle your kids can use it!! (7.53euro)

Second Picture .... Serum.... Have to say i love how this drys in so quickly and smells like roses.  Great for under your make up as it doesn't leave a shiny residue.  This will last ages as you only need a very small amount. (44.74euro)

Toner .... Very refreshing on the face and compliments the Serum well. (36.01euro)

Exfoliating Wash..... Really loved this, the micro-beads really felt like your face was being exfoliated. (27.01euro)

Third Picture...Hand & Face Soap....  This is a fantastic product great for the shower and such a large bottle again will last ages.  Also kids can use this too so gentle on the skin. (14.24euro)

Fourth Picture.... Mask Powder.... This was just fantastic!!!  I used this on my mom too and she liked it so much she also purchased it too.

You need to buy the activator with it but you only need a tea spoon of each to mix up and make a mask.  You leave it on for half an hour and it really feels tight on your face after about 10mins but the results afterwards are fantastic.  My face felt so soft and i could notice a slight difference in crows feet around my eyes. I have only used this twice so i can imagine how much better my skin will be after regular use. (19.20&13.48euro)



The Forever Living BB Cream (37.56euro) amazed me to be honest.  The coverage is unbelievable and so natural looking.  It didn't leave my face shiny which i find most BB Creams can.  This is perfect for your holidays as it has a SPF 20 in it.  This is going to be my go to make up product now and especially more so now baby is almost due..... time is precious xoxo

Love the Simplicity of it ........

So i purchased the Gimme Brow & They're Real! push-up liner from Benefit this week.

Firstly ill start with the Gimme Brow.


We all want that fuller eyebrow and the simplicity of doing them quick especially if your a mom on the go like me.  I really like this product so simple to use and stays put all day.  It even is waterproof and after bring my 4 year old swimming i can honestly say i still had eyebrows when i left the swimming pool lol.

Here's my before picture......


and here's the after......


You can add much more is you like for the more dramatic look but for me i prefer the less is more look.

Next i used the They're Real! push-up liner.


Always been a big fan of eyeliner and would be lost without my little pots of liquid eyeliner.  Mostly they take time and precision but this one is so so simple to you use and gives a perfect line in one clean swoop.  Again like the Gimme Brow this is waterproof and stays put all day.  I really love this product probably my favorite product i have bought this year.

Here's yours truly with one application of the liner....


That took like a second unreal!!  Again as i said with the Gimme Brow you can add as much as you like for the more dramatic look.

Hope you enjoy the review xoxo

Lights, Camera, Action .........



So last week was a whirl wind of excitement.   Yes as you can see from picture i went to XPOSE to film Trend Tacklers!!

Early start in Galway as i was up at 5am and off to get the 6.30am train and taxi over to Fade Street Social for the filming.  A cool place i can see why XPOSE picked it for the filming.




What an amazing experience and i felt so privileged to be asked.  Myself and 3 other Stylists sat down to give our opinions on the outfits that came out.  Such a lovely group was great to meet them.



The first show aired last Friday and i believe we will be on for the next 3 Fridays.  Kate O'Toole interviewed us on what we thought of each outfit.  She was so nice and made me feel at ease.


The filming flew and it was over before we knew it.


The first outfit i wore included Jewellery from PIA Boutique in Galway, Shoes from Greenes Shoes in the Eyre Square Shopping Centre (Ruby Shoo), Pleather pants from Miss Sixty & Leather Jacket from Calvin Klein.


I am 6 months pregnant so was a little limited to what i could wear but was happy with it.  Everyone was so complimentary to me as i did feel so nervous being pregnant and how i would look on TV.   Have to give a big shout out to my friend Aisling (Beechmount Art Studio) for coming with me and taking these lovely photos.

Dont forget to tune into XPOSE xoxo
