Miss Fits Skinny Tea

Hey everyone.

Hope ye are all well.. sorry its been so long since i did a blog post but i have been up the walls planning our wedding its less than 5 weeks away... I CANT BELIEVE IT. This year has just flown by. The reason for this post however is #missfitskinnytea i was very kindly sent a 2 week supply of the tea and a 2 month supply of the D its their vitamin d supplement (we defo need this in ireland) and i was sent a 2 month supply of crave it neutralizes blood sugars so you dont crave sugar basically. So the tea is AMAZING it really helped me with bloating and now that im out of it i can notice the bloating coming back so im going buying it tomorrow because i need it back in my life. My favourite thing about it is its non laxative so your not running to the toilet after it. The D has definitely changed my mood and energy levels and i have dropped the dose of my anxiety medication to the mildest dose for the first time in years. As for the crave i cant say i notice much difference unfortunately because i just love and will continue to love chocolate. I will keep taking it though until its gone. Im on week 4 i should be on 5 but i missed a day here and there. So far so good for the D and the tea though. I can see myself using these forever more. I will leave a link to all 3 products and i would highly recommend the tea and the D i have noticed some positive changes from using them.

Do What You Love

Hey all

Hope ye are all well. I was saying on my Snapchat (lorzyloops2) and my Instagram (Lorz's Loves and Lusts) that I was thinking of giving up blogging because you only get noticed by brands if you have a HUGE following or money or if you buy followers which I certainly would never do. I just felt how would little old me from a housing estate in Co Kerry get noticed because this Instagram filtered world made me think like that and then the more I thought of it i thought back to why I started blogging and it wasn't to get noticed or anything it was a place to go to occupy my mind when I was suffering from PTSD after having charley and then the good response I got made me want to do it more. Now I buy and review most of my products I love doing that and I get some free products from the local pharmacy to test out which is amazing too. I got my first "blogger mail" from bperfect cosmetics recently and I was over the moon.. long may all that continue. Im not even doing it 2 years yet and when I look back it (and ye) definitely helped me get through the bad days and now that I'm back to myself I lost sight of all that. When I said i was going to stop doing it I got alot of messages saying not to because ye loved listening to me on Snapchat and loved reading my blog posts so I'm not going anywhere. I was just having a bad patch so onwards and upwards. Thanks to all of ye who do read my blog posts like my Instagram pics and follow me on Snapchat I love ye all and definitely wouldn't be doing this without each of ye.

Here's to the future of Lorz's Loves and Lusts!

Bperfect 10 Second Tan

Hey guys

Hope ye are well and had a great weekend.
I had an eventful weekend. I ended up going out Friday night, chilled out all day and night Saturday and went to the so sue me workshop in the Brehon today. I will have a full blog post about it during the week. Today's post is going to be all about the bperfect 10 second tan (hence the title) I was very kindly sent a bottle of the medium coconut tan from the guys at bperfect and it was my first time receiving a product from a brand which is pretty amazing. I didn't start blogging for free products nor do I think I should be given free products because I blog but it is nice to think someone would like my opinion and all my hard work since starting the blog is finally paying off. So onto the tan. Firstly the smell of this tan is AMAZING but I love coconuts eating them smelling them drinking the coconut water or milk I'm obsessed. The colour of it is definitely my kind of colour. I'm not into tans that are very dark and obviously fake so the medium is perfect for me. I was sent a mitt to apply the tan with and it is a standard mitt they are all the same unless they are fluffy then obviously they feel more luxurious but I used that to apply the tan anyway and honestly it dries instantly but it's still easy to blend I don't know how they managed it, it's the quickest drying tan I have ever used. It's a liquid formula that you spray out so I sprayed it onto the mitt first and applied it to my skin then. It comes out brown so you can see it going on which i love in a tan because it helps prevent streaks it fades beautifully and not 1 bit patchy. It's the first tan I have used that doesn't go mucky around my feet so that's a bonus for me. I applied it once and had a shower everyday and applied it again after 5 days and I put on 2 layers to see if it would be darker and it was but not too dark. It doesn't transfer onto my clothes or bedsheets either which is great so all in all its a great tan and I will definatly be using it again and again. Thanks again to the bperfect team for sending it to me I'm so grateful ...

Before/after 

Today wearing it for the second time 

This is what it looks like it retails at roughly €25 and I'll leave a link Here to their website.

Current Loves and Lusts

Hey guys and gals..

Hope ye are all having a good weekend. I'm still posting from my phone. Cracking up without a laptop but you gotta do what you gotta do!!

So as ye can tell from the title I'm going to do my usual lists of loves and lusts.. so let's jump right into it..


Loves:

1. I couldn't pick between 2 pallettes and even though they are quite similar I do reach for each 1 as much as the other because they are both AMAZING and they are the urban decay heat pallette and the so sue hot fire pallette. They both have 12 shades some matte and some shimmer. You really don't need both but I'm a make up fanatic so I had to have both. In my opinion they are of the same quality for sure the urban decay one is €47.50 which includes a double ended brush and mirror and the so sue one is €29.95 which includes a huge mirror. So both really worth the money but again you don't need both they are so alike. I will link them both here Naked heat Hot fire

2. I brought the new look setting spray on holidays with me to really put it to the test in the heat and it did not disappoint.. My make up didn't budge! I highly recommend getting it. It's only €6.99 too it's so affordable. Link Here

3. I picked up this real techniques silicone liner brush in Sam mcaulys it was reduced to €5 and I don't know what i have been doing without it in my life... it's amazing I really feel like I have control on my liner which I have never felt before and it takes me 2 minutes to do my liner with it. I honestly can't see myself using any other brush again it's THAT good. Link Here

4. The monsieur big mascara from lancome is LIFE I mean I have NEVER used a mascara like it. My lashes look huge when I use it. The wand is big so be careful using it on your lower lashes or just use a different mascara with a smaller wand but for your top lashes you need it. I was lucky enough to recieve it at a pr meeting but I will leave a link Here


Lusts:

Im not actually lusting after much lately i think I finally have enough (said no women ever)

1. Luna by Lisa gloss set.... omg it looks amazing. I have pre ordered them so I'll let ye know the second they arrive there is 4 beautiful colours I'll leave a link Here they are sold out at the moment but they will be in stock again and going into pharmacies nationwide soon. I'm so excited for Lisa I have been following her blog and Snapchat almost since the start she's so much fun and she's so passionate about her brand I honestly can't wait to see what's to come. She is also 1 of the people that influenced me to start blogging myself.

I honestly am not in want of anything else at the moment so my lust list is a bit of a short one sorry... I hope ye enjoyed reading this.

As always thanks for reading

All Kinds of Everything

Hey guys,

How are ye all? Sorry i haven't done a blog post in a long time. I had serious laptop drama and I still don't have a laptop so I'm doing this from my phone so bare with me. Since I last came on I turned 30, my daughter turned 9 and I was bridesmaid for my beautiful bestie in Portugal and we were there for a week's holidays it was amazing there. So first of all my 30th birthday party was the 19th of August in killarney and I wore a beautiful bandage dress and shoes from Caris Closet I have just linked something very similar because the dress I got is gone. I got my beautiful rose gold shoes from the same store. My coat is from kerrys boutique in killarney.

I celebrated my birthday a week early because I knew I would be in Portugal for my actual birthday.

Here is the outfit I wore the night of my birthday in Portugal. 

Top only Ireland similar Here

Skirt miss Selfridge Here

Shoes are old from new look similar Here

Earrings are from The Hidden Gem

I had 2 amazing nights and received the most amazing gifts and cards etc.. turning 30 wasn't so  bad. Now on to Portugal it was amazing over there it was my first time there. We had my friends hen and wedding there my 30th and just general madness for the week lol there was a lot of us there and nearly all grew up together so we had a ball. 

This is the beautiful beach in albufeira...

Questioning it All

Hey all

I'm just lying here in bed at 2 43 am and I can't sleep I'm one of the biggest worries in the world I'm lying here thinking I'm sick but I think this all the time I'm a hypochondriac and I'm always googling symptoms of this and that but realistically if I took care of myself I wouldn't feel sick all the time or tired I don't eat properly or sleep properly I never exercise I start diets or lifestyle changes and they all last for 3 weeks max and then I'm back to square 1. I really want to live a long healthy life and be there for my 2 daughters and my amazing fiance (very soon to be husband) I just can't seem to break the circle. I would be open to any help or suggestions because honestly I'm going out of my mind. Since starting my blog I have fallen more in love with make up than ever and I am so happy to be doing it on clients who come to me trusting my abilities even though I'm not qualified and honestly don't feel 100 % confident about doing it yet but feel so grateful that people are confident enough to let me put make up on their faces. I am working so hard on getting a bigger following but it's proving harder than I ever thought and some days I wonder why I bother. Then one of my followers asks me a question or confides in me for some reason and I think ya this is why I do it. I would also love to start a YouTube channel because I get so many make up related questions on my Snapchat every day I would love to just put it all on a video once a week but honestly I wouldn't know where to begin.. I have a laptop slower than a herd of turtles and I wouldn't know how to edit if someone drew a diagram. It's hard trying to be a mom, blogger, fiance, daughter, sister and friend besides throwing a YouTube channel in the mix but it's what I want and I'll eventually get around to it all.. what annoys me is that's what I think about last thing at night and first thing in the morning which is why I should be making it happen besides writing about it.. I'm almost 30 and i would love to be a healtier version of myself with a career by the time I'm 31. I would love to make this blogging, make up and hopefully youtubing a paid career. 90 % of any of the products I use, review or giveaway are bought and if not I state that so all opinions are honest. I wouldn't lie to ye so ye rush out and spend your hard earned money... anyway I'm just having a rant/ vent here so forgive me for the bable... this is what being awake at this hour does to me lol..

Until next time

Pixie Pout Review

Hey all.

Hope ye are well. If ye don't already know by the title joanne larby aka the make up fairy has released 3 liquid lip collections with 3 liquid lipsticks and a 3D lipgloss in each collection. There is the bold, the bright and the bare collection they are €34.99 each which I think is pretty good for 3 liquid lipsticks and a gloss. I opted for the bare collection because unicorn tears was screaming at me and I hadn't even known the name of it at that stage so it was definitely a sign (given my obsession with unicorns) so along with the unicorn tears there is muted melon, laid bare and the 3D wonder lip gloss. I'm in love with all 3 colours and I love the way there is a gloss to give you the option  to change it from a matte. They smell AMAZING. I think they smell like sweets and who doesn't want their lips smelling like that? I do anyway haha. The applicatior is like a tear drop shape so it fits perfect on the lips which is great if your new to liquid lipsticks it's fool proof application at its best and the staying power is honestly the best I have used in a liquid lipstick so far. It doesn't budge and it doesn't crack or crumble or dry it's very velvety going on and does dry matte but not too dry. I hope I'm making sense lol. Anyway go get 1 of the collections or all 3 if you can afford them I'm definitely going to pick up the other 2. I got mine in castle pharmacy in Waterford but I will leave a link Here for joannes website. I have honestly not 1 bad thing to say about them. Go get them and thank me later.

This is the box they come in with her signature tiffany blue and gold colours on it.

This is me wearing muted melon. 

This is me wearing unicorn tears this is my favourite one x

And finally me wearing laid bare. 

That's all for now

Iconic Bronze Review

Hey guys

Hope ye are well. I was away in Newcastle for the weekend and oh my god it's a mental spot. I came home with the flu then of course so I'm feeling very sorry for myself haha. I tried the iconic bronze tan in dark with their double sided velvet mit I picked them up in penneys in limerick €6 for the mitt and €10 for the tan. I did find the dark a tad too dark for me so I'll buy the medium next time. Also the mitt is the nicest most luxurious mitt I have ever used. I'm just going to give 2 lists of pros and cons and show ye pics of before/after.

Pros...

Smells lovely 

Goes on like velvet 

Dries quick 

Developed quick 

Great price

Cons...

Transfers onto sheets

Hard to take off

Verdict...

Loved the colour even though as I said it was a tad dark so I think I'll definitely like the medium one. Also when I said it was hard to take off i never exfoliated it off I just used a face cloth so I'm sure it would come off if i exfoliated alot of it came off with just the face cloth and a really good scrub. I will definitely be using it again but I'll throw on a onsie after so it doesn't transfer to my sheets lol.

What a difference 

Awkwardly posing for a pic lol that's it on me anyway.

That's all for now 

Thanks for reading 

Until next time

Mini Break

Hey all

Hope ye are all well. Myself my fiance and our 2 daughters went away for 2 nights during the week to wexford. I googled family hotels in Ireland and the hotel we booked was first on the list on Google and I can see why. It was amazing from the minute we stepped in the front door to the minute we left we had a great time the kids especially and that's what we wanted because we hadn't gone away with them since last year so we wanted them to enjoy it. Our daughters are 2 and 8 and the 8 year old had the best time the hotel provide a supervised kids club for 2 hours in the morning and 2 hours in the evening free of charge but for kids above 4 only so our 2 year old couldn't go. The 1st night was movie night the next morning was go carting and cake decorating and the 2nd night was bingo and a disco she really enjoyed it and knowing she was being well supervised was great. Our 2 year old was asking for her but there is a play area for the younger kids you just have to stay with them which is understandable. So between that and her watching Minnie mouse on YouTube she was entertained. On our 2nd day there my fiance took the girls swimming while I headed off to the spa and they had a great time swimming they said the facilities were great. The spa was AMAZING I went for a hot stone back message for 25 mins and then I went for a dry float treatment for 30 mins and I literally floated out of there (maybe not literally) but it was honestly amazing ruth my massage therapist was brilliant. We ate both nights in the hotel the food was fab and the staff were lovely the food was normally priced nothing over pricey or anything but omg l nearly dropped dead at the bar when I was charged €6.50 for a West coast cooler the most I have ever paid for 1 is €5 or €5.50 max but very rarely I normally pay €4.80 but it's a 4 * hotel and I guess they are 4* star prices this would be the hotels only down fall I honestly couldn't fault them in any other way the rooms were fab too really spacious and had everything in them. On the hotel grounds out the back there was go carting, crazy golf, a soccer pitch, a play ground, a fountain, seating areas, animals and a shop so again plenty for the kids to do without leaving the grounds and to top it off they have there own little train called the amber express that brings you down the very back of the hotel grounds to feed the ducks, goats, horses and a racoon. There were little huts down there 2 and at Christmas, Halloween and Easter they do them up and loads of people come to see it. It would be magical at Christmas and we are really considering going back the kids really enjoyed that and the man driving the train was so much fun and really interacted with the kids. It was the Amber Springs hotel in Gorey Co Wexford ill leave a link Here i would highly recommend it especially if you have kids but even if you don't it's fab. It's a long enough drive and that would probably be the only thing bad about the whole thing just trying to entertain the girls on the way up and down but they had portable dvd players and we stopped on the way up and the way down for food and stuff to break up the journey so it wasn't too bad but just a heads up for anyone travelling from Kerry.

That's all for now

May Loves and Lusts

Hey everyone

Hope ye are all well.. although I'm a week late I'm going to list my May Loves and Lusts.

LOVES

1 Note cosmetics mattifying extreme foundation is UNREAL I have a very oily t zone, cheeks and chin so my foundation comes off in those places but not with this I have a blog post about it titled "Dupe alert" if you want to know more about it and where I get it but I will leave a link Here

2 Mac oil control lotion is amazing for my oily skin too and paired with the note foundation my make up is bullet proof. I got the travel size for €10 just to see if i liked it and I'll definitely be re purchasing it. I got it at the Mac counter in Brown Thomas Cork I'll leave a link Here

3 I am loving being a brunette again. My hair was in bits from all the bleach I was putting on my poor head. It's still very dry but already so much healthier looking and it definitely feels healthier already.

LUSTS

1 I am DYING to get my hands on the new urban decay naked heat pallette it looks AMAZING.. It's got really warm tones that I think would compliment my blue eyes really well.

2 I would love to go to the Jeanette Cronin make up salon for a 1 to 1 lesson with her she is amazing and has magic hands or something. I think all her make up looks are amazing and I would love to see first hand how she does it. If you don't know who she is please look her up on Instagram and thank me later.. she will definitely get your creative juices flowing.

3 I can't wait to get my hands on the new sleek matte me metallic lipsticks. The matte me lipsticks are my favourite matte lipsticks on the market at the moment. I also can't wait to try the new highlight pallette distorted dreams,  my all time favourite highlight pallette is their solstice one so I know I will love that too.

That's all for now

BODY SHAMING

Hey guys and gals

Hope ye are having a good week. This week beauty/lifestyle blogger Rosie Connelly has come under attack from a body shamer telling her she was disgusting and too thin and she shouldn't be promoting size 4 jeans I forget what else was said to her now but how does this person feel they have the right to tell Rosie what to do or has the right to even comment on her body.. she is naturally thin and she is healthy and happy isn't that all that matters? I'm a size 12- 14 at the moment and nobody has ever commented on my weight except for myself I was a size 8 all my life until I was about 22 then I started putting on weight and I hated my body for ages but iv learned to love all my curves stretch marks scars and imperfections.. they make me who I am today.. scars from operations and stretch marks from 2 kids 8 lbs 4 1/2 ounces and 9 lbs 9 ounces my beautiful body has been through hell and back and it's still working it's mine and it never gives up on me which is pretty amazing. Size 4 or size 24 who cares embrace it.. if your unhappy with your body then do something about it but only do it for you and nobody else especially not someone who's sitting behind a computer putting you down.. that says more about that person's life and unhappiness than it does about you. That's just my two cents on body shaming you do you and screw anyone else.. we are all beautiful.. have a great week everyone.

Then 

And now 

Happy in both! 

That's all for now

DUPE ALERT

Hey guys and gals

Hope ye are enjoying the fine weather in Ireland at the moment.. I am so excited to tell ye about this dupe because 1 of them is  €13.95 and the other is €33 so you will be saving yourself a few euros... and I don't know about ye but I'm all about a bargain. Soooooo without further ado.....

The note cosmetics extreme mattifying foundation and the inglot HD foundation are the exact same (in my opinion) they are both REALLY high coverage and matte which is what I look for in a Foundation because I'm oily and have large pores. The note 1 I wear is the shade 4 and has spf 15 I got it in kennellys pharmacy killarney but you can get it Here for €13.95 and the inglot 1 I wear is 76 and you can get it Here for  €33 I love both but they work the exact same on my skin so I will be buying the note 1 from now on. I love and use loads of inglot products so I will still continue to shop there but I'm so happy I found a dupe for 1 of my a favourite foundations... I hope ye enjoyed reading this as much as I enjoyed testing the products and writing this post..

Tanning Thursday

Hey ladies & gents

Hope ye are all well. It's been ages since I have done a blog post I just lost my groove for awhile but I'm back.. and talking about a new tan I tried lately on recommendation from Lisa jordan (just jordan) her tan always looks amazing so she knows what she's talking about and I wasn't disappointed I bought the dark mousse and applied 2 layers got dressed and went to my friends baby's christening the tan was fab I loved it BUT it was even nicer the next day so I would definitely recommend putting it on the night before an event also the dark is very dark which I love but if your not into very dark go with the medium or Just don't apply 2 layers of the dark. It smelled funny to me when I was applying it but it didn't last which is great I hate smelly tans. I do find it VERY hard to take off but it fades nicely and not patchy which is ok. I got mine in Bradley's pharmacy for €25.

My verdict is get it it's amazing but very dark so go for the medium if you don't like it too dark and it stays on for ages but I LOVE it.

That's all for now
Thanks for reading

Current loves and lusts

Hey guys Hope ye are all well.. just a quick post of all my current loves & lusts... duh that's what the title says Lorraine haha.. so let's get right into it.

Loves

1. The inglot make up remover.. holy Mary it's the only thing that removes their 77 gel liner. I bought the liner set at Christmas and it came with the liner brush and a mini remover which is gone iv been literally sparing it.. because there is no inglot Store in kerry... I know I can buy it online but I prefer going into the actual shop and buying these things.

2. Lush bath products I only used 2 in the last few weeks I purchased them in Dublin and it was my 1st time ever in lush I know that's ridiculous but again they aren't in kerry.. come to kerry lush... I got the intergerlactic one and the unicorn horn bubbles 1 omg they were amazing I need more in my life a trip to Cork is defo needed for a browse in lush and inglot. 

3. Doing people's make up.. so I have started freelance make up from home or i can go to your home. But from the 25th of March I will be taking bookings in killarney pharmacy every Saturday for the summer. I am not a professional I am self thought but I love doing it so feel free to book in with me. 

Lusts

1. Lusting a nice body... if you have been following me for awhile you will know I'm getting married the end of this year and I obviously want to look unreal on the day. I haven't been happy with my body for a long time so now is the time to do something about it. I started personal training a week ago and eating healthy and I am down 4 lbs.. off to a great start and hopefully I keep going this way. 

2. So sue (suzanne jackson) is bringing out an eyeshadow pallette... take my money now like lol.. I love all her products so far I use them on myself and my clients and they love them as much as I do. I can't wait to see them.

3. L.A Girl HD foundation.. I have it ordered on pre order from trndbeauty.ie so I will definitely do a review on it once I get it. I have heard great things about it so far..

That's all for now

Product review

Hey guys

Hope ye are all well.. just doing a quick review on a few products from a really exciting brand misslyn cosmetics that I received from the guys at killarney pharmacy. I had never heard of this brand until I seen it in there. Art deco make it so I had high hopes for it and I wasn't left down bar 1 product keep reading and I'll explain. So I was given 3 products.. a primer, a foundation and a Contour blush and highlight trio pallette.


Primer .. time to prime I was given a sample because they only had 1 left so I looked it up and it's supposed to give an even finish on the skin and make a great Base for foundation  (pretty much like all primers) I tried it and liked it. I have only 1 primer I love so I probably will never stop using it but this primer was good also. It's  €14.45 in killarney pharmacy.

Foundation... it's called ultimate stay and it's mattifying oil free it's supposed to last up to 24 hours ( not that you would leave it on that long lol) it says it's suitable for normal to oily skin and sensitive skin and it's dermatologically proven.. so I have worn it 5 times 1 with the primer they gave me 1 without any primer and the other 3 times with a primer I have myself. I love it. It is very mattifying which I look for in a Foundation because I have a very oily t-zone. It's very easy to blend and i would say it's medium to full coverage. You can build it up which I did on a night out. I do find I start to get oily after 6 or 7 hours but iv yet to find a foundation that stays matte on me for more than that. I have the shade medium beige rose and I find it a nice shade for me but there are a good few shades to chose from It's  €17.45 for a 30ml bottle which is very good.. it works as well as any high end foundations I have but for half the price. They also do a dewy finish one which would be more suitable for normal to dry skin types.

Contour blush and highlight trio..... I love the Contour shade and the blush but the highlight was such a let down... it's literally like a translucent pressed powder. It hasn't got one bit of shimmer in it the Contour is a nice warm toned brown.. a little goes  a long way and the blush is a fab pink shade it costs €12.95 I would definitely re purchase just for the Contour and blush..

I hope ye enjoyed reading this review and I look forward to trying more misslyn cosmetics products in the future

That's all for now

Make up revolution final

Hey all hope ye are well.

Today marks a week from the make up revolution final and although I didn't win I had an amazing night. It was on last Wednesday night in the red cow moran hotel in Dublin. Myself and 2 of the girls went up and checked in for the night and my cousin met us there she lives in Dublin. Myself and the other 4 finalists were given a table each for our friends/ family and ourselves. Everyone in my family was working and it was such short notice they couldn't get it off but I was delighted the 3 girls were able to make it and the 2 girls Nicola and Emma from Prosecco and heels blog were there so they sat with us it was so nice to meet them I had been following them for awhile on social media and they are fab. It was so nice to meet all the other finalists too after seeing each others faces all over Facebook for the passed month I felt like I knew them haha. Each of us were interviewed by amber dean( she's amazing) and then judged by her fabiana( fabsy make up) and the girls from matte to metallic jen and ciara.. as I said I didn't win a girl named alannah did and I was delighted for her she deserved it all her make up looks were amazing. Each of the finalists were given a hamper each full of make up revolution products I was delighted with it it has EVERYTHING in it. It was a great night and it was great to meet everyone and it was an amazing experience I'm so proud of myself for getting to the final 5 out of 30 andit was a nice night away. I went into the city the next day and bought my wedding shoes ( I don't have my dress) haha but I can work the dress around the shoes now.. I'm in love with them..... I won't be showing them to anyone until the wedding though sorry...

Save v splurge

Hey guys & gals

Hope ye are all well. This post is going to be about 2 charcoal face masks. I tried out 2 different masks at the same time 1 on either side of my face to see how they both worked against each other. I used the GLAMGLOW mud mask and the loreal pure clay clearing mask. I have been using glam glow for months now and I LOVE it and i get so many questions on my snapchat about it. It costs €45 on Boots.ie or €37.50 in the duty free and I use it once a week or every 2 weeks depending on my skin it really pulls all the dirt out of my pores and makes them appear smaller instantly so I was interested to see if the loreal 1 was any good especially since its roughly €12  I got mine on sale for €8 in sewells pharmacy killarney they both do the same thing in my opinion glam glow just works alot quicker and it tingles when I put it on whereas the loreal one doesn't and they smell completely different. My face was a little red on the side I had the loreal mask but it didn't last that long. They both left my face clean and feeling really soft. I will be re purchasing glam glow once in awhile as a luxury product but I will use the loreal 1 in between when I can't afford the glam glow. My advise is get whichever 1 you can afford but they are both AMAZING...

These are what they both look like 

Both of them on together
