Mad Beauty Review

Hey guys!

Wow it's been ages. I have been so busy over the past month, everything has been so hectic! I started my new job (Can I call it new if I worked there before the leaving?), had quite a few midterms in college and then over the break, I had assignments to do as well as essentially working full time!

Mad Beauty, a company based in the UK kindly sent me some products to review a few weeks ago and I have been loving the goodies they sent me! Some of the products they sent me have become handbag staples and I don't know what I was doing without them.

Hand Sanitizers 

These cute little sanitizers aren't much thicker than a card holder and are so easy to fit in your bag. I use mine all the time, in work because I handle money and during the day after using the bus. My grape one (which is not pictured here) is almost gone and I cannot wait to try another scent afterwards!

The Hand Sanitizers retail in 3 packs and are available for roughly €3.50.

Disney Makeup Bag

This retro makeup bag is perfect for weekends away because it's big enough to fit the essentials without taking up too much room in your bag! 

The vintage Mickey Mouse graphics are so cute as well and I love how many products I can actually fit in this bag.

This vintage makeup bag is available for roughly €9.40.

Mini Nail Files

I also got two mini matchbook nail files and they have become staples in my handbag as well! They are so handy to have in your bag if your nail just breaks or you need to even them out throughout the day. Not much bigger than an actual matchbook, you won't even know the extra space being taken up in your bag.

These nail files are so cute and are available for roughly €1.15!

Alice in Wonderland Pamper Me Duo

Another part of their Disney collection is this super cute Alice in Wonderland themed set that has a bubble bath and body lotion. I use the body lotion everyday after my shower and I love the scent (ginger and pear). The lotion moisturises my skin and leaves the scent lingering all day. I haven't used the bubble bath yet but the scent is the same so I cannot wait to use it next time I have a bath!

The Alice in Wonderland duo is available for roughly €9.40.

The Ultimate Handy Set

The final little gift Mad Beauty sent me was the ultimate handy set. This adorable little pouch has hand cream, wet wipes, hand sanitizer and a packet of tissues. The hand cream and sanitizer are coconut scented and I'm saving them for a trip away because I think the whole pouch will come in handy!

The Ultimate Handy Set is available for roughly €10.60.

Thanks so much to Mad Beauty for sending these products to try out!

February Favourites

Hey guys!

February flew by for me! Midterms and deadlines started this week and I cannot wait until my spring break.

I received some lovely blogger mail in February that I have been using almost daily along with some new favourites that I kept on going back to over the past few weeks.

MyKitCo (Pro) 1.15 Brush

So I know this is a shadow brush but I've been using it as my highlighter brush for a few weeks now and I am obsessed. The brush is dense enough to give a gorgeous glow without being overbearing and I will definitely be using this for my hightlight from now on.

1.15 Pro is available from MyKitCo's website for €17.55.

Sensodyne Repair and Protect Mini

During February I was away for a weekend and I had a few sleepovers with my gals as well so this toothpaste came in so handy! Instead of having to bring a whole tube of toothpaste I threw this handy mini into my overnight bag and didn't think twice!

Mini toothpastes are available in Boots nationwide and some supermarkets.

Artistry Shimmer Powder Eye Duo - Dreamy Pink

I received a gorgeous pigment duo from Artistry's limited edition Modern Icon Collection in a press pack this month and the Dreamy Pink pigment is my go-to highlight for my inner corner and brow bone. The pigmentation in this product is really good and the shimmer catches the light at any angle. I am also in love with the little brush attached to the lid - can all pigments come with one please! It makes life so much easier.

Artistry Signature Color's Shimmer Powder Eye Duo (it came with a blue shimmer as well) is available for €49.50.

Rimmel London Match Perfection Foundation - 201 Classic Beige

The sleepovers came hand-in-hand with nights out so I had fake tan on for the majority of the month. I mix whatever foundation I'm currently wearing with Rimmel's Match Perfection in Classic Beige when I'm wearing tan so my face actually matches the rest of my body!

The foundation has buildable coverage which I love and lasts all night until the early am!

Match Perfection is available from Boots for €10.49 and is currently buy one get one half price!

Kara Wispy Eyelashes

Sticking with the nights out trend, I have been making my way through my stash of these wispy lashes this month. I love how natural yet dramatic looking they are when paired with a smokey eye and for only $1, what could go wrong?

I will definitely be stocking up on these lashes soon!

Check out ShopMissA's collection of lashes to find the perfect pair for you.

Mad Beauty Grape Sanitiser and Pug Nail Files

Mad Beauty were kind enough to send me a fabulous blogger pack at the start of February (full review coming soon don't worry!) and these two little gems have not left my handbag since.

The matchbox-style nail files are so easy to just toss into your bag and they're there if you break a nail during the day and trust me. they come in handy. Taking the bus twice, sometimes more, a day, the sanitiser, which smells like grapes and is fab, is so easy to fit into a bag. I use it after getting off the bus and at random times throughout the day.

Both of these products are available from the Mad Beauty site and won't break the bank at all!

Benefit Boi-ing Concealer

Multiple nights out this month also lend a hand to some very dark circles under my eyes. Benefit's Boi-ing concealer is a heavy-duty concealer that does wonders in masking tired looking eyes.

I bought a sample size one in Boots a few months ago and I love it. I bought the it in the shade 02 because I knew my eyes would look absolutely terrible after nights out so I'd need a darker shade to match my tan.

Benefit minis are still available in Boots where you get four for €20!

Milani Baked Blush - Luminoso

Another product I have been loving with the added glow I have this month is Milani's baked blush in the shade Luminoso. I just love how it complements my tan and the slight shimmer adds that gorgeous sparkle to my cheeks as well!

I got this blush as a present when someone was visiting the States but if I find a retailer in Ireland I will let you guys know!

Pure PawPaw - Watermelon

Pure PawPaw Ointment were another brand who very kindly sent me some products recently and if you follow me on Instagram, you'll have seen me raving about these guys!

My favourite one so far is the watermelon scented one because it just smells so good. I've been using the ointment to help soothe my dry winter lips and any dry patches on skin I've come across and it has really helped.

I'll have a full review of the product soon but check out their website if you want to know more!
