Marc Jacobs Deliciousness!

Hey Ladies,

Back in September when I was in New York I picked up this nail polish from the new Marc Jacobs beauty range and I have been dying to share it with you all since but I didn't have the words to describe how infatuated I am.

Each shade in the collection is inspired by Marc's favourites movies. Marc and I must be on the same page as the color I went for is "110 Gatsby" which is a ridiculously shimmery rose gold. This little gem is described as an "enamoured high shine nail lacquer" and gives fantastic pigmentation, so only one coat is needed for an opaque finish. I have noticed though if you want to do a second coat you will need to let the first coat dry completely before you layer. The polish is very quick drying so if you are like me and have the patience of a 5 year old it won't smudge.

I find the chipping is very minimal depending on how much you use your hands so if you work in a hands on environment obviously it is not going to last as long, but my favourite aspect of this polish? It's a doddle to remove so no hassle unlike some glitter polishes.

Unfortunately for us Irish beauty lovers this product is only available in the US (specifically Sephora) at the moment but comes in at a very reasonable price of $18 so if you know anyone heading over to the US, do your research and get them to pick you up one or two. Or better yet head over yourself, any excuse for a holiday!


Am I just a magpie or is that not the most majestic nail polish you have ever seen? Just me then?

Love,
S

  

Madame Madeline Haul (Red Cherry)

Hey Ladies,
Being a make-up artist you always have to have the essentials to complete a great look, especially eyelashes. As I am building my kit slowly I wanted to get a whole rang of lashes so I would have variety for my clients. You can find lashes basically anywhere these days but to buy them in bulk costs an arm and a leg, not to mention the quality is not the greatest.

So, I researched places on-line that sell lashes in particular, Red Cherry lashes. If you watch YouTube videos you will have seen all of the big You Tuber's use these lashes, but unfortunately you can only get your hands on these (in-store) if you live in the US. Then, I found the website Madame Madeline that sold a whole range of lashes including Red Cherry! The lashes were such a bargain at $1.99 a lash, they;'re great quality and there is a huge range to choose from.

I bought 14 pairs of lashes and it only cost me $27.86 (I googled coupon codes and found one for 10% off). Which when you convert it into euro it is a reasonable price. It cost me that bit more than I expected for shipping as I had never used this service before so, I bought the insured shipping for $20. In total my order was  $45 which is 35 euro! Next time I order I will use the normal shipping and it will be even less costly.

I placed my order on the 12th of March and received it on the 26th which was great!

I really recommend checking out the Madame Madeline site (here) if you are interested in buying lashes!

Here is all of the lashes I bought....
