Superdrug Haul

Hey everyone

If you follow me on snapchat you would know that I recently got a bunch of stuff from http://www.superdrug.com/ and I just want to show you in more detail and review some items. So as you may know superdrug is mainly a UK site but they do ship to Ireland for free when you sign up for a health and beauty card which is also free to do!

The shipping takes less than a week so I would consider that quick enough! They stock brands such as MUA, Makeup Revolution and others which are not directly on the Irish Market apart from in Dublin. These brands are so affordable and work really well. Superdrug also always have offers running like 3 for 2 so you will always get a bargain.

Onto the stuff!

I got 3 for 2 on the L'oreal True Match foundation which is a foundation that I will always go back to so I believe I got 3 for €20. I got the shade sand beige as it's lovely for when you have a tan!



Next I got another set of the Real Techniques Core collection brushes! These were on offer for £14 so roughly €20! I absolutely love this set, I already have two sets, you can never have enough. I highly rate these brushes - a must have in your kit.



Next up I got setting sprays from Makeup Revolution. Setting sprays are basically a spray powder. It locks your makeup on to your face and some are designed to mattify the face or to give a glow. I picked up the oil control spray (mattifying) and the amazing makeup fixing spray (just fixes the makeup in place) for £5 each so roughly €12 for them both! I used to pay €10 for the NYX one alone. So far I am loving the oil control spray as it actually works! I have the most oily face ever and this spray prevents me from blotting my face/powdering my face throughout the day - another must have,



And then I placed a rather large order from MUA. I got 7 lip products. AS IF I needed them but for £1-3 you can't go wrong. Firstly I got this Velvet lip lacquer in the shade tranquility and I am in love. I'm currently wearing it. It is matte so it will dry out the lips but so far I'm impressed at how long its lasting on me. This one costs £3, I only got one to try out but I will defo be buying more!



And finally. I got 6 lipsticks from MUA for just £1 each. You simply can't go wrong. These are all matte, just because that's what I like. The bottom of the lipsticks also pop off to show a lipgloss to wear with the lippy! Genius. Two for the price of one almost. I have not worn these lipsticks yet but I'll be sure to let you know if I end up liking them and if not, that's okay because it was only £6 in total. I hope I end up loving them!

Lilac Belle

Scarlet Siren

Peachy Keen

And that is all I got! I think haha.  I hope you enjoyed this post and if you pick up anything let me know, I love seeing what other people get. I'm so nosey! Happy shopping.

Fuschia Makeup

Hey everyone!

Today I want to talk a bit about Fuschia Make-Up.

Some of you may know and love the brand and some may be like what is she on about. Well when I went to the beauty show I picked up palettes from Fuschia and I just want to talk about the brand.



So firstly, the brand is Irish which I love to support Irish brands others include Blank Canvas Cosmetics and Push makeup and so on. But today is about Fuschia. It's an Irish brand and very affordable. I only have eye shadows and blushes from the brand so I won't be able to tell you about foundation and so on but I will definitely be picking more bits up.



You can get Fuschia in Connolly's Pharmacy/ Haven Pharmacy in Dungarvan, across from Shaws or you can order online at: http://promo.fuschia.ie/

So now with all the info done, let's get into the post.. I picked up the pre made pro palettes for €25 euro at the show which was a bargain deal. This included a magnetic palette and 8 eye shadows €25 and a magnetic palette with 6 blush shades €25. I think €50 for both of those was just such a good deal and I couldn't leave them there! You can also de-pot other single shadows or even shadows out of palettes - just be sure to YouTube how to do it!



Inglot, Morphe and the Z-Palette are all known for their flexi palettes, magnetic palettes, build your own palette type of thing but these can cost you up to €30 euro depending on how large you want the palette to be. Fuschia pro palettes start from just €10-€18 which I think is very good.

Next you can fill them with any shadows you want but the Fuschia shadows cost €5.50 online and I think €7.50 in Haven. If you get any Fuschia shadows my top 3 that I have myself and use on every face now, without fail would be: 
  • Helena which is a bright white
  • Ginger Snaps which is a shimmery champagne colour with a tint of peach tones
  • Oh My Orange which is a bright orange colour


These can all be found in store and online. If they don't have them in store, Christina will defo be able to help you!


So guys overall would I recommend this brand/palette? 100%

It's perfect for anyone interested in makeup in the slightest but also fantastic for aspiring make-up artists. I think everyone should have one in their kit, after all, it is lovely to be able to make/design you own palette. I would say make a palette that you will use everyday without fail or just colours that you really need so transition and highlight shades would be perfect.



The shadows are very pigmented and super blendable.

I think that's all that I have to say on Fuschia. I've been playing with the shadows and that for about two weeks now and I really have fallen in love. A brand well worth looking into if you're interested in makeup!
