Valentines Makeup Inspiration

Hey guys!

Whether you're for or against Valentine's Day, pink themed makeup is perfect for any day, but especially this Tuesday.

Valentine's will be Galentines for me but I will have pink themed makeup nonetheless and these guys are some of my favourites.

Benefit Cosmetics Real Cheeky Party

I got this kit for my 18th and I know they sold it again for Christmas 2016. Sugarbomb (Top row, far right) gives the perfect pink glow to any cheeks and is a great choice for Valentine's Day, whether you have a date or not.

MAC X Giambattista Valli - Tats

I love Tats which was a limited edition in summer 2015 and it is the perfect hot pink that would give you pout-worthy lips. This lipstick stays on through dinners and would last all day.

NYX Strobe of Genius

I have a special place in my heart for this palette. It is an unbelievable highlight kit and is actually really good for eyes as well. The bottom swatch on my hand is my favourite one from the palette and will give you the perfect rose gold goddess glow for whatever you're doing on Tuesday.

Strobe of Genius is available in Arnotts for €21.

EOS Lip Balm

If you're not into lipstick but want your lips Valentines ready then all you need is an EOS lip balm. The lip balm is super hydrating and all of them taste unreal (even though I've never actually bit one... you shouldn't either).

Whether it's Valentine's, Galentines or just a normal day for you on Tuesday, have a fab day!

MAC x Giambattista Valli Review

MAC launched their new collection with Giambattista Valli two weeks ago in Ireland. The collection consisted of five lipsticks and a crystal glaze gloss.

I was working the day the collection was released and I knew it would sell out quickly so I sent my sister into town to pick it up for me! The MAC counter in Brown Thomas on Grafton Street was the only store carrying it in the country, there was also a limited supply available on their website.

I got Tats, a vibrant hot pink shade. I'm not one for corals, the reviews I read about the light pink shade were not great, the only red lipstick I will ever wear is Ruby Woo and I own way too many berry colours so I went for Tats.

The lipstick cost €21.50.

I am so in love with the packaging because it's the same colour as the lipstick, a first for MAC. 

Tats is such a pretty colour and it's perfect for the spring and summer months! The lipstick itself is a matte lipstick but it is not drying on my lips at all! As with any matte lipstick, you should moisturize beforehand.

I swatched the lipstick on my arm so you could see the colour. It is a completely buildable colour although I found one swatch was perfect for the look I was going for. 

I love MAC and this collection was no different.

Did you buy anything from this collection?

Do you have any suggestions as to what I should try next?

Pretty in Pink

Pink is my world. I love pink, Pink makeup, pink clothes, pink stationary, pink food, pink everything!

Loving pink definitely has an influence on my makeup collection. I could show you everything but it would take days! Instead I have picked my top six pink makeup and beauty products!

6. One Direction's Our Moment

Our Moment was One Direction's first fragrance and I love it. This fragrance is full of fresh fruit and flowers infused with undertones of warm musk. For a celebrity fragrance, it is quite nice and the bottle is pink, what's not to like?

Our Moment is available in Boots for €20.

5. Seventeen Lip Crayon

I love lip crayons, they glide on so easily and last for a few hours. I bought this lip crayon in a set at Christmas time and unfortunately Seventeen has not added any number or name for the shades. What I love about this shade is that it is a buildable colour - you can go for a light pink lip or build it up to a deep colour,

4. No7 Nail Varnish - MeMeMe

Nail Varnish completes a look. If you take a peek at my nail varnish collection, you'll see it is predominantly pink. You may find one or two different colours but for every different colour, you'll find twenty different shades of pink. I adore this hot pink shade from No7's collection - it is perfect for the summer months!

MeMeMe is available from Boots for €8.

3. EOS Lip Balm - Strawberry Sorbet

I have a lip balm obsession. If I'm not using Carmex, I have some EOS handy. As it is American, it is quite expensive over here. I got mine as presents from people coming home from America so I did not have to pay for mine but they are well worth the €6.95! Strawberry Sorbet is my favourite, it smells divine!

EOS Lip Balm is available from Cloud10Beauty for €6.95.

2. Bleach London Super Cool Colours - Rosé

 Dyeing your hair can be daunting. That is why I love Bleach London's temporary hair colours. You can't dye your hair during the school year in my school so I have to wait until summer to use this beauty. I plan on toning the ends of my hair beforehand so I can get a pastel colour. 

Rosé is available from Boots for €6.69.

1.MAC Sheertone Blush - Pink Swoon

Pink Swoon is a dramatic colour. If you are going for a brighter shade for your cheeks, make that the focus for your look. When I wear Pink Swoon, I ditch the winged eyeliner and just stick with mascara. This shade is perfect with a nude, glossy lip as well!

Mac Blushers are available from Brown Thomas.

There you have it! My favorite pink makeup and beauty products!

What are your favourite beauty products?
