To say that Chanel Taboo is my favouritest nail polish ever, would be, believe it or not, the understatement of the year. Pretty much since it was acceptable to start donning darker, autumnal colours (August?!), this has been on my digits. Sure, there’s been some breaks in between, where I’ve...
Remember the Apocalips? Well, I think these new Rimmel Provocalips 16 Hr Kiss Proof Lip Colours could withstand the actual apocalypse! Seriously, these babies are bombproof. Stay tuned for millions of pics, on the lip swatches and my review. So anyone who’s been reading the blog for a while,...
So Urban Decay have released another palette in their Naked line. You can tell that they didn’t intend to extend their Naked Basics range beyond the original, as there is a shade called “Naked 2” in the original palette. If there were foresight involved, surely they would have kept...
When you think of Essence cosmetics, you think of affordable yet excellent performance, right? Wouldn’t think twice about slicking one of their lipsticks on. But when it comes to skincare, people are a bit weird, often falling prey to the fallacy that more expensive means better performing. Let me tell...

Ok, so I know that as soon as the cold weather hits, I’ll be all, “Brr I can’t wait for Summer.” But right now I’m all over AW14. Layers, scarves, opaque tights, chunky knits, not having to defuzz or tan… Don’t get me wrong, I love sunny skies. But I’m...
Having joined the ranks of commuters to the job Mecca that is Dublin, during our annual fortnight long heatwave, I’ve gained a new appreciation for base products that REALLY stick around. Leaving the house with a gorgeous, dewy glow unfortunately morphs into a sweaty, melty mess by the time I hit the lab,...
There’s nothing quite like the appearance of that fiery orb in the sky to get us buffing and buttering the bejaysus out of our pelt, as if to scrub the winter neglect right off it! I’ve been putting a number of summer body products through their paces these past couple of months, and I’ve...
So in the dead of the night while you were all sleeping, I snuck up an oul YouTube video. How very crafty of me! In actuality the video’s ETA was sometime yesterday afternoon, until all manner of technological mishaps befell me. Woe is me etc etc. Well finally here it is, the Lip Product Addict...
