Eye Contour | Perfect Eye Fluid


Perfect Eye Fluid
Hey everyone!

Welcome to Day 5 of the Declaré series.
I hope that you have been enjoying the posts so far and hopefully learned something cool along the way?
As you will have previously seen Declaré have such a diverse range of products to suit all skin types. By Sunday I will have only scratched the surface of what this amazing brand has to offer. I am loving their products more as the days go on but today I want to focus a little on the eyes.

During the consultation we discussed caring for my eyes. I am constantly drained and tired. I also inherited under eye bags from my father (Cheers for that Andrew)!
The most you will ever get me to do is put some concealer on when I am having a particularly bad day.
However there are a number of ways in which you can make your eyes appear brighter and fresher without having to put make up on. It just involves a little TLC and some Perfect Eye Fluid ;-)

The Perfect Eye Fluid comes in a roller ball tube that is hypo-allergenic and self cleaning. Retails at €29.95 for 15ml. The formula will not break down your make up so you can use the Eye Fluid when ever you like, not just the morning/night time routine.

These Eye fluids have been knocking about for a while through a number of various brands, all offering similar achievable effects like reducing signs of ageing, fatigue and wrinkles.

Declaré have the ace up their sleeve with the award wining SRC Complex. This adds nourishment to the under eye area, reduces fine lines and wrinkles almost immediately and helps get rid of under eye bags and puffiness.

I tried the fluid over my make up during the consultation. I felt the skin around my eyes tighten immediately and I really did feel fresh and ready for the day. I really like this fluid and hope you will too!

See you next time

Yves Saint Laurent Couture 


Hey everyone,

Last week I received an invitation to attend a master class with my favourite Make Up Artist and Yves Saint Laurent's very own Fred Letailleur. Fred is on Twitter! 
Fred has created timeless looks on the faces of many beautiful stars like Cara Delevigne and more recently little old me!
The class was to celebrate YSL's False Lash Mascara's 15th anniversary and to launch the brand new Couture Variation Palette and eye primers that everyone has been talking about. Shhh... The mascara has been remastered and refreshed for the day that's in it you know!


I jumped at the chance to allow Fred to recreate Cara's look on me. I couldn't get over how simple it was to recreate the look and how well it suited me!! I've an inner rock chick hidden in there somewhere!! You will get to meet her soon as I want to take some pictures of the recreated look once I get around to it.. :)

Now for the part you were actually waiting for!

YSL Couture Variation 10- Colour Eye Palette

10 Shades ranging from Light to Dark. There are 7 frost colours and 3 matte. The palette has been made to such a high standard. In my opinion the quality of the pigments would match or better the Urban Decay palettes. Retails at €58 and worth every cent! 

Before I forget, the brush that comes with the palette is a keeper! Fred used the brush from the palette to blend out the crease and wow.... Just remember I told you so!

Also exclusively at Debenhans you can pick up the Colour Variation Tuxedo Palette 2! Click here for more information.


Couture Eye Primers


The primers come in two shades- 1 Fair and 2 Medium. 
Fred used shade 1and 2 to contour the eye socket and act as a base to eye shadow. These primers are so versatile, you can even use it as a cream highlight!

I took home the second shade and have used it along with the palette to create some beautiful long lasting looks! Yes it really does help the shadow stay in place and NO there is no creasing!
(I am proud to say after 15 hours wearing today's make up!) Primer retails at €28.



YSL False Lash Mascara

This mascara as you know is the big 1-5! YSL reformulated the mascara to give it a little lift. I love seeing new life and love put into old products. It really shows a brands commitment to a product! More power to them! 
I love this mascara. Some mascaras are just not worth the hype. I am happy to say that this one is and then some. It gave my lashes a beautiful thick coating and even my bottom lashes got to see some action. Mascara retails at €32.50.




Will you be investing in a palette?

Volumpte Tint - In - Oil

Since the event I have gone back to YSL to pick up their new TINT IN OIL gloss NO:4 which is the same one used on Cara at the shoot. I am not normally a fan of glosses but Jesus this is amazing.
It is not drying on the lips, is packed with colour and it is moisturising too! There are 8 shades altogether and smell like juicy mangoes! Devine! The Tint In Oil glosses retail at €27.

FYI - The pictures below show:The pay off on the lips after 2-3 coats, Second picture shows me putting on the gloss..(No wands were harmed/eaten during the photoshoot! :D) and the third shows the gloss with one coat. No filters or photo shop, just great lighting for the most part!  I aint a model let me tell ya!!!!



See you next time,

Love Louise xxxx

Beauty Haul

Hey everyone!

Happy July 1st! I updated posts for most of June and now I am at a cross roads. I still want to be present here but cannot commit to daily posts.. Until I figure out what I want to do I will continue on blogging every second day maybe...? Let me know what your preference is! :)

I am super excited to share my recent beauty buys today! I went a little mad on there on Sunday gone. I am ridiculous with my wages.... I would hang my head in shame but meh.. I refuse to feel guilty!
I was lucky enough to win a €15 all for one voucher in work last week so I really wanted to pick up something that I would not normally buy! AAAANNNDDD then some!

I window shopped in a number of shops but purchased from Two....

Boots

Maybelline Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner Intense Black (01) €11.99
This is actually a second time buy for me. I bought this product when it was first released thinking it would be amazing and did not really gel well with it... (get it? lol)
The colour dried out grey not intense black and the product itself dried out quickly. At the time I was really just muddling my way through make up and didn't really know much so was unaware that there are products out there to get the moisture back into eyeliners.. 

 This time round I am delighted I took the time to rediscover this product. I bought it today for €11.99 in Boots as part of an offer and first thing I did when I got home was test this baby out! I LOVE IT!! Maybelline must have worked on the formula because look at that picture!!! 
The eyeliner glided onto my lid and dried quickly. I actually used the brush provided to apply for the craic and think I will continue to do so going forward! Really think this has shot right past my love Essence Gel Liner. 


 




Maybelline Mega Plush Volume Express Mascara Black €11.99

I am in heaven here. Seriously.  I applied this mascara without the aid of an eyelash curler and one coat only. I recently posted about my favourite mascara and have mentioned (complained...) that I haven't been able to find a mascara that would apply to bottom lashes without transferring! I am excited to use this product going forward!


 Mac, BT2 Blanchardstown

Mac Eyebrow Pencil in Lingering €17

I decided to take a trip to Mac and have a look around for an eyeshadow or some concealer. However what actually caught my eye was the eye pencils. I am obsessed with my eye brows and normally use a shadow. I normally use Omega as a brow shadow but sometimes I like the precision of a pencil. I had some assistance from a lovely artist who talked me through the pencil shades and we decided on Lingering.. I was delighted with myself as I had thought lingering would be a good colour too.. I think the shade is very true to my natural hair colour and really brings out the green in my eyes...

 I have also booked myself into a make up session with Linda my new besto for next week where she will show me how to perfect a day and evening eye look. 
I actually cannot wait.. I have an idea in my head what colours I will be leaning towards but I really want to get out of my comfort zone and create something fun!!

 I will be taking pictures on the day so will be doing a big blog post about it!




Hope you like my haul!! Hope everyone is having a lovely day!
