Beauty on a Budget: Wet n Wild Cosmetics

Hey Everyone!

Hope you all are well :)

I'm back again today with another 'Beauty on a Budget' video.

Probably strange to see two so close together haha I think my last two videos were a year apart! These videos have just been so highly requested I decided to pop up another video as soon as I could get my hands on some more products. I've probably covered nearly all budget brands that are in the drugstore by now. I know I haven't done one using Natural Collection, Collection and Seventeen Cosmetics…if you can think of any other brands you would like me to do just let me know :)

So as you can guess from the title, for todays video I have chosen the brand 'Wet n Wild Cosmetics', a brand that is only upon our shores in recent times! 

This was the look I came up with and it cost €33.62 to create this entire makeup look :)

Cien Moisturising Hand Cream

Hey Everyone!

Hope you all are well :)

Today I have a review of a budget friendly hand cream.

In a post I did awhile back on a body moisturizer, I explained how terrible I was with regard to looking after my skin in the sense of moisturizing. 

I used to neglect moisturizing my body but now I don't even have to think about doing it. Its become a part of my routine, after my shower I now always make sure to slather a nice layer over my skin.

As I said before I have very dry skin, I suffer with it on my face, hands and body. I decided seeing as I was treating the rest of my skin why should I neglect my hands?

While I was doing my food shopping in Lidl I ventured up the aisle with the perfumes, deodorants, shampoo's etc.

Scanning the shelves I spotted this Cien Hand Cream, I had heard a bit about the brand..good things to date!

I picked it up and had a little try :)

First off the bat I really liked the smell and the texture. One of the reasons I used to avoid moisturizing was because I hated the greasy residue that was left lingering on your skin for what felt like an age after using the product.

This hand cream absorbed pretty quickly into the skin so I was quite impressed.

I checked the label and this cream was only 99c. 

Yep thats right, less than a euro!

I was sold.

I popped it into my basket and went on my merry way :)

I have been using it for the last couple of weeks now and my skin is noticeably softer, I'm chuffed with it! 

I went back and bought another one so I have one beside my bed for night time use and I have one in my handbag that I can use on the go.

I can't recommend this hand cream enough and for that price you really can't go wrong :)

Have you tried any of the Cien range?

Let me know! 

I can't wait to pick up some other products from the brand :)

Cheap and Cheerful with Make Up Academy

Hey Everyone!

Hope you all are well :)

Ugh, long time no tutorial!

Well...its been a couple of weeks which feels like a life time.

I've been sick which sucks and I didn't want you all to think I had hired Kermit The Frog to record my voice overs...so I said it would be best to wait ha!

I already have one series dedicated to beauty buys which are cheap money wise...not quality wise. More formally known as the "Beauty on a Budget" series.

So far I have covered the brands: 

NYC, Essence and Catrice.

In this series I have dedicated the entire makeup look to one brand to see how cheaply I can apply a full face of makeup for.

I think I might turn today's tutorial into a series.

In this series I will focus on one product by one brand, opposed to many different products by one brand :)

The series shall be crowned "Cheap and Cheerful"

To start the ball rolling we have Make Up Academy.

 I have heard so many good things about Make Up Academy, particularly from a lot of UK YouTubers. MUA is only sold in Superdrug here in Ireland and to my knowledge there are only two stores. One in Tallaght and one in Santry, both are quite a trek from me haha! A couple of months ago I had to go up to Dublin so naturally I popped into Superdrug, I had never been before. Unfortunately the MUA stand was quite small with not a lot of choice but I did manage to pick up this beautiful palette and a couple of single eyeshadows. I am so impressed with the quality of these eyeshadows, the pigmentation is amazing! 

If you are a fan of MUA, you might have guessed from the picture above that I used the 'Heaven and Earth' palette. My god it is a dream to work with!

Keeping in mind that we are now heading into Autumn (YES!), I decided to use browns and golds for this makeup look. 

I will have a review of this palette coming soon I am just over the moon with my purchase. The palette is so versatile, there are so many different eyeshadow combinations you could use!

I hope you enjoy the tutorial and thanks a million for tuning in.

I really appreciate it :)

Talk soon!
