Cleansers -Simple - Cleansing Facial Wipes
orfhlaith 9/8/2012 3:05:00 PM
These wipes are great. I have sensitive skin and am very cautious when it comes to wipes as they can often feel very harsh. These feel like water, but are really effective at greeting rid of makeup and dirt. I would thoroughly reccommend them.

Foundations -Rimmel - Wake Me Up
orfhlaith 9/8/2012 2:55:00 PM
I asked a colleague who always has skin what foundation she used and she said rimmel. I was really surprised, probably out of snobbery that a less expensive foundation could deliver such great results. Then when I was in boots I saw it on special offer and thought I would give it a go. This foundation is amazing! I can't believe it is so inexpensive. It glides on so smoothly and gives perfect medium coverage. My skin Genuinely looks radiant and flawless. I have finally found the perfect replacement for the discontinued Clinique superfit which I had used for 10 years. I had been using Chanel vitalumerie aqua as a replacement but now with rimmel wake me up I can save around 30 euro every time I buy a foundation...Don't hesitate to try it!..

Shampoo -Batiste - Dry Shampoo
orfhlaith 7/12/2012 8:15:00 PM
I can't imagine being without a can of this!..i previously fell into the trap of washing my hair everyday, a cycle which is really hard to break, but now I can use this a couple of times a week and extend the time between washes and on the days I do use it my hair looks bouncy and full of body, and it also smells great ( I normally use the tropical blush, which smells of coconuts)It is also the perfect styling aid, and I always spritz my roots if I am trying to get my hair into the perfect messy or tidy bun and it never fails to add the body and hold necessary. I was lured into using Klorane from rave reviews in the past and found it to be a more expensive and less effective...

Treatments -Unlisted Brand - Jolen Creme Bleach
orfhlaith 7/12/2012 8:03:00 PM
This is the answer to a dark haired girls prayers!..I used this on my upper lip for years until I finally started to wax it, but now I use it on my forearms and it works amazingly, although you do have to do it once every 2 weeks or so, the results far outweigh the hassle. It has really given me more confidence as I was always really self conscious about my arms. Waxing and shaving never really worked for me, as when it started to grow back it made me more self conscious, but this stuff is perfect, I am always going to have hairy arms, but once it is lightened it really doesn't bother me as much, and is not as noticeable.

Self Tanners -Unlisted Brand - St. Moriz Self Tanner Foam
orfhlaith 7/12/2012 7:54:00 PM
I am super pale and have been trying to find a fake tan for an upcoming wedding. I use origins great pretender normally, which is perfect for very pale skin, but want something a bit deeper for the wedding. This stuff is great, it gives a deep colour without looking too fake, although tan will always look somewhat fake on a pale person, it is nice for a special occasion. It does dry very quickly so you have to work very fast or it will be uneven. For the price though, this stuff is amazing and I would reccommend anyone who likes fake tan to give it a try, especially if you are using the much more expensive st tropez, as this may be just as good.

Masks -Bliss Labs - Steep Clean
orfhlaith 7/12/2012 7:39:00 PM
I have been using a Clinique Clay mask for years, as I always thought that clay was the most effective way to clean pores, until I bought this impulsively when it was 30% off. I really like it and find that it really does give a deep clean and i my face is really radiant for a day or two after. My skin is quite sensitive and I have had no adverse reaction, actually the first time I put it on I was sure that it was having no effect as I felt no tingling or sensation on my face at all. I would definately recommend this to anyone that likes to do a weekly deep clean of their skin, although it does seem to be very expensive if purchased full price..I will probably repurchase but only when I see it on special offer...

Treatments -Estee Lauder - Advanced Night Repair (Serum)
orfhlaith 4/19/2011 12:06:00 PM
This is one of those products that I always wanted to try but felt like it was a bit too expensive for me. I finally caved in and bought it at the beginning of March this year, and I am really glad I did. It takes a while to see results but if you bear with it you should see results within a month. I went from being cautious about parting with my cash to splurging on their Idealist serum too, to use daytime. These two combined are fantastic. I can't describe exactly what has happened but my skin just lookes better, and my pores have almost disappeared.

Self Tanners -Unlisted Brand - XEN-TAN
orfhlaith 4/19/2011 11:56:00 AM
I believed the hype around this product and bought it!. I am pale and from what I had read this was my dream come true, natural, never streaky, no smell...to good to be true. This has a definate subtle orange tinge,on me anyway, and although it does smell plesant on application after an hour or two the fake tan smell definately creeps in. I will be sticking with Origins great pretender which is perfect for my really pale skin

Treatments -Alberto Vo5 - Hot Oil Treatment
orfhlaith 4/19/2011 11:49:00 AM
I had my hair colour stripped as I wanted to go to a lighter shade of brown from the almost black colour that I had, needless to say my hair ended up a dry frizzy mess. I decided to use this as I was willing to try anything. This is the only thing that restored my hair to its former softness and smoothness, I think that you need to use it a couple of times before you really see the results. I use this every second time I wash my hair, and I feel really dependant on it now. I think it is also crucial to follow the instructions and not leave it on for more than a minute and shampoo it out.

Polishes -Barry M - Barry M.
orfhlaith 4/19/2011 11:40:00 AM
The range of colours and low price of the polishes mean that I can afford to have alot of choice. They have a colour to suit every mood and occasion. As many of the colours are really vibrant, I would advise using a base coat!

Styling Products -Kerastase - Elixir Ultime
orfhlaith 3/4/2011 5:55:00 AM
This product is amazing. It took me a while to finally hand over the 35 euro that it cost, but I wish that I had done so earlier as it is worth every cent. I use just a pump and a half on towel dried hair before blowdrying and I end up with soft, smooth and bouncy hair everytime. this product should be used sparingly. I don't find it necessary to add an additional pump after drying as it drags my hair down and leaves it feeling greasy.
