On your marks, get your sets and go!
If you didn’t already know then I am going to let you in on a secret, this is the best time to get your mitts on some great value in the form of Christmas sets. Many brands do limited edition sizes or products and there is always something nice to be gained when you buy them for a loved one or for yourself. They always sell out well in advance of Christmas, so it is so worth stocking up.
This week I am concentrating on makeup sets. There is something for every budget, even that secret Santa gift for your workmate!
The Note Smokey Eye Make Up set is the perfect gift for someone who is eye makeup obsessed. With a mascara, eye pencil and eyeshadow pallet, this set is everything you’d need to create that sexy smokey night-out eye look. The deep black mascara has a special spiral shaped applicator and the black formula ensures perfect voluminous and curly lashes for an extra dramatic look.
The smokey eye pencil is double-sided and has a special smudging applicator too so you can blend these creamy pencils to create the perfect smokey eye look. The 24-hour lasting waterproof liner has a smooth application and is ideal for sensitive eyes. The monochrome eyeshadow palette creates a dark smokey look with its five different colour options. The creamy texture provides instant coverage with shadows that blend easily, leaving the eyelids soft to the touch. It’s packaged in a high-quality case with a mirror and a handy double-ended brush.
Blinks N Brows is a Cork cosmetics company and its first beauty product is the ID Brow Kit. The ID Brows Kit creates, shapes and defines eyebrows for all females. It creates brows for those who have suffered hair loss due to age or illness, shapes for those who have thin, pale or unruly eyebrows and defines for those who want to enhance their natural brows.
The mineral based, waterproof eyebrow compact that comes with the ID Brow Kit, will define your eyebrows hassle and mess free, offering a quick and easy solution that saves time on your make up routine.
The Blinks N Brows Kit costs €44.99 and contains an easy peasy to hold ID Brow Tool with two brow shape templates, a duo eyebrow mineral powder with a warm and cool tone palette and a compact brush and a longer double ended brush that makes it impossible to mess up.
I got to check out some of the amazing products from Wet n Wild last week and it is, in my opinion, one of the best brands available in the budget arena. The colour payoff is superb and the selection second to none.
