Armani Rouge Ecstasy Nail Lacquer

Armani have quickly become my most coveted high end make up brand. 

My new obsession could not have come sooner as their Fall collection is currently being rolled out across the land. 

They have come up with 18 shades this fall so there is definitely something for everyone. From beautiful dark red colours that could hold their own against any vampire to more autumnal greys like the colour in the picture above. 

You only need one coat for a fabulous opaque colour, there is already a top coat inbuilt and drying time is so fast you wouldn't believe me if I told you. 

There is also a pretty nifty reservoir that holds enough polish to coat your whole hand so Mr Armani and his team surely developed this with me in mind!! 

The Rouge Ecstacy lacquer range will be available in Brown Thomas from October 15th for €24. 

What's your colour?

Hey you guys!

 I don't know about you but I suffer from a serious case of butter fingers especially with liquid liners so I usually shy away. I was looking forward to going in to try the line out for myself on pay day and the lovely people at Lancome must be tapping into my dreams as guess what dropped on my door mat today!!

Lancome Artliner 24H

This liner is taking intensity to a new level. To celebrate the 20th anniversary of Lancome's Iconic Artliner they have come up with a new line of fun colours to take the Artliner into it's 20th year and onwards! How fitting is it that these liners are designed to last all day. These colours wouldn't look out of place at a festival or club and that applicator is so precise you would think a professional applied it! I know that if you like colourful eye liners to bring out your eyes you are in for a treat.

The facts as they were

  • Extremely long lasting 
  • Water proof and Smudge Proof
  • A new formula ' Flex Polymer ' is what gives this liner the incredible wear! ssshhh that ones a secret
  • Shiny effect and Ultra saturated colour
  • Highly pigmented
  • Vibrant Metalic shades

The colours 

  • Black Diamond
  • Jade
  • Sapphire
  • Chrome
  • Turquoise
  • Silver
The Artliner will be available from November 1st 2013 nationwide €28 RRP. 

To satisfy your curiosity until then here is a sneaky look at the ' Sapphire '. I can't wait to use this on myself!

What Artliner colour is your favourite??

Armani Rouge Ecstacy

2013
Hey everyone!

When I think of Armani I immediately think luxury, exclusivity, beauty, Expensive!  I live for reviews of these types of brands but sometimes I am afraid to trust the hype and invest in something I don't end up liking. I am one to sit on the fence though so I have been wanting to purchase even just one high end item and covet it from afar.. I just did not know where to start!

I had the opportunity to meet National face designer for Armani UK and Ireland Thoa Tran in the beautiful Dylan Hotel, Dublin 4 and there she gave a few of us an intimate showing of Armani Fall collection all launching within the next 6 weeks.

I was greeted in the main room by a sea of beautiful Lipsticks. 36 shades in total. There are neutrals, corals and pinks and also the most amazing reds you will find. My favourite was a dark red, berry shade called Scarlito. The lipsticks are fabulous quality. They have shea butter to moisturise but colour has not been compromised and the pay off is fabulous.

The packaging of such a powerful product is equally amazing. The outer shell is a stand out Brick Red. There is no name to signify the brand but there is the logo on the front shell making you aware that the product is indeed Armani. The lid is magnetic so you don't have to worry about ruining the lipstick if it is at the end of your bag and there is a beautiful indentation of the Armani logo on the actual product.

I am a total convert. There is such a beautiful shine from the lipstick and the colour lasts for hours. It is my new favourite product and will live with me forever!!


I had such an amazing time getting make up tips from Thoa and meeting some fellow bloggers but most of all I got my chance to experience the luxury of a high end brand and am raging I never took that step before!





I discovered some more amazing products at the event and will introduce them in my next blog post so keep your eyes peeled!!!
