My pleasurable Visit to The MeMeMe Cosmetics Event at McGranes Pharmacy :) :)

Hello my beauties 

I hope you are all well today :) 

I simply had to do a blog post of an event I went to yesterday :) 

It was at the McGrane Pharmacy in Trim Co Meath Ireland (Incase my lovely none Irish readers were wondering) 

I was simply planning on posting up some photos of the MeMeMe stand on facebook but I just had to give you a more detailed account of how I got on :) 

First of all the moment I walked in the door I felt such warmth from the place :)  The pharmacy alone is small but full of amazing value deals on everything its literally a girls dream walking in there.  

I was greeted by the lovely Margaret who is a Makeup Artist and works for MeMeMe Cosmetics :)  She had a lovely big smile and reassured me that she was almost finished with her client.  I of course was in no hurry as it was a pleasure to browse the pharmacy and also watch Margaret doing her work :)  She was happily chatting with her client who was also lovely and asking lots of questions :)  I was happily brought into the chat and we had a great time talking makeup as us women do :) 

While she was busy applying makeup onto her lovely client she was also filling both of us in with lots of information about the products she was using :)  I was hypnotised haha  Here is the Lovely Margaret herself :) 

Margaret even introduced me to some of the staff of McGranes Pharmacy who were very very polite :)  They even offered a cup of tea to me which was very thoughtful.  I was even surprised that one staff member remembered I was there before simply shopping for myself of course :)  I thought wow now that is amazing and brilliant that they remember their customers.  I was even more shocked because I very rarely get the chance to visit as much as I want as I am not from that town :) 

Anyway back to business.  I was very very impressed with MeMeMe Cosmetics stand display as it was so tidy and so neat and so full :)  Margaret says MeMeMe Cosmetics always likes their stands to be full all the time as they hate to disappoint customers who are looking for a particular product and ends up having to wait for the display to be refilled :) Always nice to know :) 

Just to note you are probably going to see alot of my head and face in some of these photos lol as the mirror was right at my vision :)  Let me show you some close up photos of these amazing products :) 

Starting off with the wonderful face products.  Margaret told me that the blushes alone have been compared to the Bobby Brown blushes which says alot :)  The packaging remind me alot of the Benefit blushes :)  

The Cheek & Lip tints also remind me of a certain higher end brand :)  

The shimmer stacks in which I now one one of (& will be reviewing soon)  Looked amazing and Margaret stated they can be used on the eyes also :) nice to know and I adore multi purpose products :) 

There is two types of foundations available one is a tinted moisturiser which is handy for Summer and then a normal liquid foundation which I was told was suitable for all skin types I cant not wait to try out the Flawless Foundation as I have heard alot about it :)  (review coming soon) 

There is also two types of concealers available.  One is in liquid form which is medium coverage and can be used everywhere on the face for that little bit of extra coverage.  The 2nd on which attracted me even more is the pot concealer :)  This looks amazing and I can not wait to try it out and let you know how it is :) 

There is also the Beat the Blues Highlighters in which I have already tried and reviewed and of course love.

There is lots of eye products to choose from :)  I was also very interested in the "Fallen Angel" duo which is a mascara and eyeliner and I opted to pick one up for a review :) :) 

The dewy pots looked stunning and I later on had to pick a few of those up too ;) 

The most famous "Arch Angel" was there to my delight as I adore this product if you want to see a review on that click here :) 

I was super excited to see the Ultimate Palettes there aswell as they have been the latest releases by MeMeMe Cosmetics and I havent had the chance to see them up close and personal :)  I was adoring one of them in particular and I cant wait play around with it :)  Review coming soon ;) 

With a wide variety of lip products to choose from I was complete bedazzled :)  I have seen alot of bloggers using the Light Me Up gloss and I am so glad I have finely got one in my collection.  Margaret informed me that the lipsticks have shea butter in them which means plenty of moisture for you lips :) 

The nail polishes also looked stunning :) 

I just wanted all :) 

Margaret did inform me that 2 new products are to appear on the stand very very soon :)  1 been an eyeshadow pencil and the other been a jumbo lip pencil :)  I am super excited to see what they are like :)  I am hoping they come in sooner than soon lol 

Overall the morning was lovely.  I had a lovely time speaking to Margaret and also to the staff of McGranes Pharmacy :)  I would highly recommend you to pop in and enjoy shopping there and believe me you will feel very very welcome and come out the door with change in your pocket ;) 

I can not wait to get using my new MeMeMe Cosmetics products and let you know how I got on :)  I really wanted to buy most of these products and at the prices they are I am surprise I didnt go crazy but I was very good as I am saving to bring my kiddies somewhere for the summer before Baby #6 is born :) 

Thanks again to Margaret for spending so much time with me and answering all the questions I asked.  The one thing she did say is The meaning behind MeMeMe name is:  You have to keep telling yourself Its not all about you you you its all about MeMeMe Makes sense right LOVE IT!!!!

Christmas Gift Ideas for under €20

Hello My beauties I hope you are all well :) 

Wow Christmas day is creeping up on us big time.  I dont know about you all but this year has been nothing but crazy for me..... One being trying to get Christmas presents sorted.  Usually I am finished by now but with Confirmation, 1st Communion, Twins starting primary school and my oldest start Secondary its been an expensive year.  

Christmas coming on top of that I wanted to get good Christmas Presents that are not going to cost me an arm and a leg.   

To be honest it used to be heart breaking for me that having a budget at Christmas time ment that I could not by my closest loved ones the best presents I wanted to buy them.  That was until this year when I really had to put myself to the test and try and get the best but not leave myself short.  

So today I am going to show you some of the items I bought my loved ones and maybe this might help you with your last minute shopping :) 

I have to start with some amazing products from a company I cant help but love lately :)  You may remember my blog post about Ziaja which is a company in Poland but is now available in Ireland.  This company works hard at giving us the best quality skincare for a very affordable price :)  Check out my review on their Natural Olive Skincare.  I love this range so much I jumped straight onto their website to order some more products for my loved ones and also for my babies :) :)   Much to my surprise they have gift sets for Christmas so I just had to buy some for my family :) 

First up is of course some products for the children :) :) 

Let me tell you know my kiddies were full of excitement when they seen me take this out of the box :)  They smelled these two beauties and cried for a bath straight away :)  Of course they chose the Bubble Cola one first :)  

Well let me tell you all the Bubble Cola smells exactly like Coca Cola !!!! Fact !!!! I mean if you had your eyes closed and someone gave this to you to smell and taste you will drink it lol.  The scent of cola fills the bathroom as you fill the bath :)  The water changes to a nice cola shade and as for bubbles there is plenty of them :)  Well let me tell you now each one of my kiddies give these bubble baths the thumbs up they deserve the scent is unreal and their favourite is of course the Bubble Cola.  My oldest kiddies cant choose between the two haha.  
What I love about this product is that its delicate to the skin and the main ingredient in this is Glycerin which can help heal skin irritations such as psoriasis, rashes etc.  It also helps the body maintain its water balance which is what children need especially at winter and summer months.  
Not Bad Eh?  The bottle contains 500ml and costs only 
The perfect stocking filler for children.  I promise you once the smell this they are going to ask for a bath straight away haha 

Next up for the kiddies is this amazing shampoo :) Again another favourite of all the kiddies in my house :) 

This is the perfect shampoo for kiddies :)  Epecially children who have cradle cap in which some children do have or any sort of tenderness on their scalp.  The main ingredients in this shampoo is 

Glycerin which we already now is for moisture 

Pro-vitamin B5 also acts like a moisturiser but no any ordinary moisturiser this seals the moisture on the childrens scalp which prevents dryness or even any more dryness to the scalp which can cause cradle cap to worsen or even dandruff 

It is also said to prevent tangling to childrens hair which I can vouch as my daughter has very long hair and it can be a nightmare sometimes to brush.  It gets that bad that I do have to apply conditioner to her hair but since using this its not half as knotty :) 

The scent is amazing on this and my children describe the scent as "Marshmallows"  it does infact smell a little like that but I think the Cookies & Ice cream is a perfect name for what I smell :) 

Another thumbs up from the kiddies and mummy too as it causes less screaming while brushing my daughters hair and less arguments when I say its time for a shower hehehe what more can we mums ask for ;)  For 400ml per bottle and only costing €2.99 Its another perfect gift for your child :) 

Next up is a gift for the Daddies, Grand dads, Uncles or brothers :) 

I do not know about you all but I find it very hard to choose something for men :)  and this has to be the first year I found it easier thanks to Ziaja.  

Years ago men were not into looking after their skin as much as today :)  Believe me I have noticed !!! Having 2 brothers and lots of male cousins I have seen the change throughout the years :)  

Mens skin do have problems too but not alot of them know what to do with their skin when it flares up.  I especially have noticed my dads skin becoming tough, blotchy and very red.  This is why I chose this gift set .  

The gift set only cost €9.99 for 3 products 

The products you are getting is 

Mens moisturising face cream SPF6 50ml,

Mens shower gel 300 ml,

Mens roll on anti-antiperspirant 60ml.

A Pretty amazing value pack :) 

Of course next up is for the ladies :) 

 I got a couple of samples of the Cocoa Butter range and I have to admit I fell in love.  So much so I went on line and order 2 of these beauties one for myself and one for a loved one.  This set is unbelievable value.  You are getting 3 products in this gift set for only €9.99.   The set contains 

Cocoa body lotion 400ml,

Cocoa hand cream 80ml,

and

Cocoa shower soap 500ml.

Cocoa Butter is very beneficial for your skin :) 

Cocoa Butter is very high in Antioxidants.  Cocoa Butter is high in fatty acids which hydrates the skin deeply.  I suffer with very dry skin in alot of areas on my body and find this is amazing especially on my legs.  It gives me such a natural looking shine on my legs I love especially when I tan ;) 

I also Have to mention the scent mmmmmm It smells like hot chocolate :) I love it 

Lastly from Ziaja 

The Natural Olive Range:  This is one range I am very familur with as you all may remember I tried their face creams and absolutely love them I still use them every single day :) 

So I just had to try out their body products :) Again this set is only €9.99 for 3 products :) 

In this set you are getting :) 

Olive body lotion 400ml,

Olive hand cream 80ml,

and

Olive shower gel 500ml.

I am really looking forward to trying this range out for myself and I am that confident It will be just as good as the face creams I went ahead and bought one for a loved one :) :) 

I will surely be reviewing each one of these in the near future :) 

If you are interested in seeing more gift sets Ziaja has to offer check out their website or if in Ireland check our your local pharmacy.  If you are ordering your gifts from the website and want them before Christmas today is the last day to order :)  

Next Items are from Penneys/Primark 

The Countdown to Christmas Calender which only costs €5 

Its never too late to grab this calender for any girl in your life.  I thing the best thing about this calender and giving it to your loved one on Christmas day is that they get to open all the days at once :) :) After all could you really contain yourself ??? I know I couldnt 

Behind each day there is a little goody that can be used such as a nail file, nail polish, glitter eyeliner etc :) I dont want to spoil it too much but I love that this is only €5 and can be very exciting for any teenage girl in your life :) 

The next item is a nicely designed Christmas cracker which contains 3 beauty items :) :) and only costs €3 :)  Together these two makes a great and exciting gift and still only costs €8 for the two 

Next from Penneys 

Well every lady at Christmas time needs a little sunshine on their skin and what better way to do that than buying them this great Ultimate Travel Set by Cocoa Brown.

I am surely you all know at this stage that I am a huge fan of Cocoa Brown and the fact that this travel set contains 3 of my favourite products is like a dream come true for me.  Of course this set is not for me but I know for a fact that the person I bought it for will absolutely love this :)  

For only €10 you are getting 

Cocoa Brown 1 Hour Tan  

Cocoa Brown Tough Stuff Body Scrub 50ml

Cocoa Brown Gentle Bronze Gradual Tanner 

The perfect combination for that perfect looking tanned skin for a full week.  The travel sized products are that genourous you do not have to worry about tanning for at least a month :) 

The next Gift set is by MeMeMe Cosmetics.  

If the women in your life love makeup well this the perfect gift for them :) 

I fell in love with this gift set the first time I seen it and I just couldnt resist buying it for my loved one.  MeMeMe Cosmetics is amazing and I know for a fact that this gift set will be a hit :) 

For only €12.99 you are getting:
Eye Inspire Eyeshadow Trio 01, an Eye Sweep Liquid Definer Pen, Fat Cat Volumising Mascara, Eye Line Pencil in Coal and an instruction card to show you how to creat a smokey eye :) 

A Very ideal gift set for any makeup lover :) 

Now for the Lips :) 

 Every woman and man would love this set as the winter is hard on our lips as well as the summer.  We need protection for our lips and what better way to do that than by buying this perfect Vaseline Gift Set which only costs €7.99.  It contains 3 different flavoured lip balms and comes in this cute round case which can be reused afterwards :)  Be it for jewellery, makeup or what ever you wish :) 
I Think its a brilliant gift 

Lastly I think this next gift would be perfect for any woman who has the Urban Decay Naked Palette on their wish list.  Obviously the Naked palette is quite expensive and to be honest at Christmas time it can be hard to raise the fund for it.  So why not go for the cheaper alternative and a brilliant dupe :) 

This only costs €7.99 and is just as good in my eyes as the Naked Palette.  If you are still not sure Check out my blog post about them check out my swatches and it will surely change you mind :) :) ;) 

I have so many recommendations for affordable gifts under €20 but this blog post would go on forever :)  There is another post you should check out by me for some more gift ideas and that is on my Top Ten Blank Canvas Cosmetics Products If you are looking for something for your ladies i your life they would really appreciate good makeup brushes etc :) Blank Canvas is surely the place to go :) 

I hope you all enjoyed this post and found it helpful :)  If you have any recommendations feel free to leave them below would love to hear from you 

Until Next time

MeMeMe Cosmetics Beat the Blues in Oyster Gold

Hello Beauties :) :) 

I come to you with yet another MeMeMe Cosmetics product.  Again like the Arch Angel I have had this for at least a month and it has earned a place in my makeup kit :)  Good news? Yes as that means I am comfortable enough to use this on other people including myself.  

I know for a fact you lovely ladies are going to be very very interested in this too especially if you are ones who like highlighters this blog post will surely interest you xxx

A Healthy Glow is what I miss more from summer time :) I see it in myself the natural glow is gone I also notice it in my kiddies.  Sunshine gives us the natural balance of Vitamin D which makes our skin look healthy and glowing :) 

When the winter comes in we crave for that natural glow and now we can get it from beat the blues :) :) 

MeMeMe Cosmetics Beat the Blues in Oyster Gold is the answer to all our prayer :) 

I have tried many highlighter and have my favourites but most of my highlighters are in powder form.  I have to admit I have tried highend liquid highlighters than cost an arm and a leg and yes they are good but I cant bring myself to spend the money to buy them.  Well this little beauty has said to be a dupe of a certain highend brand and to be honest after trying it I can safely say there is no difference :) 

MeMeMe Cosmetics state:  Skin Illuminator & Complexion Highlighter. These are our best-selling hero products are ideal for creating a youthful dewy finish. Whether it’s a golden glow or pearly pink sheen you desire, simply dot along brow and cheek bones to highlight and accentuate or mix with foundation for an all over shimmer. 

I have to point out yet again the packaging on this little beauty.  This highlight comes in a glass bottle that looks like a nail polish.  There is 12mls of product in there which is more than enough to do you for at lease 6 - 12 months depending on how often you use it and guess how much it is ??  £5.50/€6.99

The highlight even comes with a brush thats exactly like a nail polish :) 

This is always handy when you are travelling when you dont want to bring brushes with you :) 

To be honest you would get away with not using any brushes with this product.  I like to place a pea sized amount on the back of my hand a dip my finger into it then dab in the areas I want to apply for example on my brow bone or on my cheek bones, anywhere I want to highlight.  Its as easy as that.  When applying on a client or anyone else I like to use my Blank Canvas Cosmetics F29 brush it leaves a beautiful flawless finish :) Another way I use this is to mix a tiny amount into my foundation which leave me with an all over illuminated and natural looking finish 

I absolutely love how subtle this highlight it.  Its gives this beautiful light golden shade but has a slight pinkish finish to it.  I also love how you can not over do highlighting with this.  There is alot of liquid highlighters out there that are very pigmented and 9 times out of 10 you find you cant help but over do it with them.  Whereas this highlight is build-able and you have more control over it.  
This highlight is perfect for anyone who suffers with acne scarring, enlarged pores, fines lines etc who doesn't want highlighter to highlight those problem areas.  It may seem shimmery but believe me it doesnt it in slightest look shimmer on your face.  The shimmers are that fine they only give you the perfect dewy finish we crave for.  Best of all because its liquid it does not settle into fine lines etc.  
I adore this so much I want to buy the other highlight in Pearl Pink :) 
Here is a picture of one of my clients wearing Oyster gold on her cheeks Doesnt it give her such a beautiful natural looking glow :) 

Beautiful isnt she :) 
I highly highly recommend this to you all :) I adore this product and think its one item everyone should have in their collection :)  especially in these dreary dark winter months :)   Have you tried this yet.  
 Check out their website MeMeMe Cosmetics or if you are from Ireland Check out their list of stockists :) 

Until next time 
Lots of Love Luck and Laughter 

I love love love hearing from you all :) I make it my duty to read each and every one of you comments and every time i get a comment from you it highlights my day thanks so so much to you all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

MeMeMe Arch Angel Review

Hellllloooooo Beauties :) 

I hope you are all well :) 

Todays review is on the MeMeMe Arch Angel :)  This is on one of those products that I started using and kept using every single day and suddenly realised "I havent reviewed this"  :)  Spoiler alert I absolutely ADORE this product :) :) 

Brows have always been a nightmare for me.  i was one of those teens who was never thought how to look after my brows and over plucked, shaved etc my brows.  One of those mistakes I will always regret as they have never been the same since.  My brows are a total embarrassment to me and still to this day I am struggling to get both brows looking as normal and as full as possible.  Up until 3 years ago I never really filled in my brows as I didnt know how but since then I have been playing away with pencils, powders and clear brow gels to give my brows some sort of a shape.  I have actually been more confident with the way I have been drawing in my brows and to be honest alot more confident in myself since having brows as brows are the thing and one of the most important features on your face.  Brows are huge in the beauty industry :)  They put a shape to our faces :) :) They put expression on our faces.   Different shapes of brows put different expressions on our faces even before we apply makeup.  I personally am obessed with brows.  I can walk out of the house into the public with no makeup on but on thing I will not do is walk out the door with my brows not filled in :) :)   As mentioned about I have tried eyebrow pencils, eye brow powders, clear brow gels etc but never tried tinted brow gels before.  That was until I tried MeMeMe Arch Angel :) :) 

Can I just begin with the packaging.... Normally Packaging does not matter to me once the prodict itself is good but I couldnt help but fall in love with the packaging.  The packaging looks expensive to be honest I think If you were looking at the packaging of this brand you would be thinking that this is going to cost the same as some High end products out there but let me tell you looks can be deceiving :) 
For only €10 I would not call this high end would you?  

So what we are actually getting is whats more important and I am going to show you now.
We are actually getting two products in one :) :) 

You are getting on one side a tinted brow gel with a teeny tiny brush :)  This is supposed to not only darken and define your brows but set them into place ready for the day ahead.  The gel is to set those flare aways we all hate and make your brows tidy and neat.  Just look at this brush :) 

The gel comes in a dark brown shade which is what we mostly go for to make our brows noticable.  The brush itself makes life so so easy for us girlies let me tell you.  I did of this and comb through the brows bang you instantly have that defined look.  The brush grabs onto every single hair you have on your brows so even if you havent many hairs and alot of light hairs this brush will find them.  For those of you who do not like very dark brows simply brush the gel on very lightly and you will never over do it.  If you are one who likes dark dark brows simply build the gel up :) 

I myself like to use a brow pencil to shape my brows as I am not luck enough to have full brows then I finish off with this gel for extra coverage and tidiness and I instantly have full looking brows :) LOVE IT !!!!!

Let me show you how well this works :) 
Here is a before of my brows (eekkkkk) 

 And here is an after :) 

Here is another before and after :) 

So now for the other side which is the highlight side :)  This was designed to give your brows that extra boost :) 

The highlight comes with a doe foot applicator which fits perfectly under the brow and boy oh boy this highlight is bright.  Literally one pea sized amount with do both brows :)  This helps give your brows that extra shape and also make them stand out more without look obvious.  I love this highlight so much I even use this on my cheek bones and on the top of my lip :) I love it :) 

Over all I think this product is absolutely brilliant I literally us this every single day without fail even on my no makeup days.  I have also used this on some clients and they too are amazed with it.  This is certainly going to be repurchased by me over and over :)  
Have you tried Arch Angel yet.  I cant wait to try more from this brand :)  Check out their website MeMeMe Cosmetics or if you are from Ireland Check out their list of stockists :) 

Until next time 
Lots of Love Luck and Laughter 

I love love love hearing from you all :) I make it my duty to read each and every one of you comments and every time i get a comment from you it highlights my day thanks so so much to you all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
