December loves and lusts

Hey all hope ye are well.

This month is the best month of the year it brings family and friends together and it's so festive and full of great nights out with friends and great cosy movie days in front of the fire with your family but for some people it is probably the worst time of the year especially anyone who is alone at Christmas or has lost a loved one recently or the homeless. So for this month I'm not going to do a loves and lusts list I'm just hoping and wishing that whoever you are and wherever in the world you are reading this from I hope you have a great month and an amazing Christmas full of love cheer and happiness and of course we all love getting presents under the Christmas tree especially if you have kids it's extra special but once you have a roof over your head, food on the table and people to love who love you back then that's the most important thing because not everyone has that luxury...

As always thanks for reading and thanks for the support since starting my blog
All my love

LOVES AND LUSTS

Hey all hope ye are well. I haven't wrote a blog post in ages. (Sorry) I have started a new part time job so between that and the kids iv been so busy but loving it thankfully. So I'm going to jump right into my current loves and lusts.

LOVES

1. I picked up these amazing brushes at a blogger event in limerick from nima brushes and I fell in love it is a complete starter set with 7 brushes a powder brush a flat top kabuki brush a fluffy blending brush a flat shader brush a pencil brush an eyeliner/brow brush and a concealer brush. You literally can do your whole face with this 1 set and it comes with a fab storage pouch to keep the brushes in to protect them and to use when you are traveling. They are €45 which is great value they are so soft and luxurious. I love them. You can get yours Here

2. Autumn colour themed eyeshadow's.. I'm in love and can't stop using these colours oranges reds browns yellows and golds I'm so drawn to them. 2 palettes I'm loving in particular are a pallette I made up from inglots freedom system I picked up a few weeks ago and a make up revolution pallette iv only picked up this weekend I literally fell in love straight away with them both. It was my first time picking up inglot shadows and they are amazing they are only €6 each I only picked up 4 and a pallette to store them and a gold pigment their pigments are amazing. The make up revolution pallette was only €9 -€10 for 16 shadows some matte some shimmer but the pigment and blendability of these shadows for that price is AMAZING it's out of stock on the matte to metallic Web store at the moment but if there is a make up revolution stand close to you it should be there.

These are the Inglot shadows 

This is a look I created using them.

This is the make up revolution pallette.

3. So sue me contour pallette ( I have had for ages) only really starting to use it with the last month and I LOVE  it and the so sue highlight pallette ( I only have a short time) but OMG the colours in it are to die for like seriously just go out and buy it take my word for it best €30 I have spent in a while..

Fabbbbb 

LUSTS 

1. Mac soft ochre paint pot and their fix plus I just haven't been to a mac in ages and I know I can order online but I prefer going into the shop. I just want to try these 2 products because I see people raving about them alllllll the time.

2. Disney teacups and saucers... I KNOW some of ye are probably like really.. does she need them and the answer is no I don't but I want them they are so cute and they are Disney hello lol. I'm getting them for Christmas anyway..

3. Push make ups black eyeliner pencil called black caviar iv seen a few people using it and it looks so creamy and amazing but it's ALWAYS sold out when I go to buy it.

Also to add to my post I got the stylepro brush cleaner as a present from someone recently and i don't know if it's worth all the hype I will use it 1 or 2 more times before I say how I feel and also the bellamianta tan I have used once I'm liking it so far but again I will use it a few more times before I give my final verdict ..

That's all for now

Matte made in heaven

Hey everyone

Hope ye are well.. I am writing a post about 3 nude matte lipsticks that range in price from really cheap to a higher price point and which 1 is my favourite and why.

The 3 lipsticks I'm going to talk about are ingot HD matte lip tint in the shade 17, The sleek matte me in the shade birthday suit and the penneys/primark super matte liquid lipstick in the shade 01 Kim.

So swatched on my hand they are all similar enough shades these are the kind of shades I go for the pinky nudes or beige nudes.

So 1st up is the ingot HD lip tint it retails at €22 and I love the colour I do however find it goes flakey on my lips and it didn't always do that so I don't know why it does that and for the price it shouldn't really. I love inglot products and use a good few of them but this 1 just doesn't work for me.

The next 1 is the sleek matte me in birthday suit it's €7 and I love it. It literally doesn't move for the day i only need 1 application and I'm good to go. It doesn't dry up or crack it's amazing and it's so affordable. Win win

Last but not least is the penneys/primark super matte liquid lipstick shade 01/kim I can't remember was it €1.50 or €3.50 but it was no dearer anyway I love the colour of this but I found it dried up my lips they literally felt so dry and shrivelled up I had to apply gloss after an hour but the colour hadn't budged and for the price it's grand to throw on under a gloss I will use it again like.

My favourite is the sleek 1 though and I can't wait to buy more shades of it. Hopefully this was helpful and of use to ye all. As always thanks for reading.

Sonya Skincare Collection (Forever Living)

Hey everyone

Hope ye are all well. Just doing a blog post on a new skincare brand i have been introduced to that i fell in love with straight away so much so that i am now going to be selling these products along with a wide range of Aloe Vera based products. I was given the skincare collection for a week to try out and i loved them so i bought 3 of the 5 products i used and plan on buying the other 2 as soon as i can. Two people have commented on how great my skin looks and how soft it feels so it must be doing something right.

Aloe Purifying Cleanser

This cleanser is infused with aloe, lemon and cucumber extracts it removes all my make up including liquid eyeliner and liquid lipsticks and it leaves my skin feeling so soft and hydrated.

Aloe Refreshing Toner

This alcohol free toner has white tea cucumber and aloe in it its so refreshing and doesn't sting like other toners i have tried its obviously because its alcohol free but it feels so good on the skin.

Aloe Balancing Cream

This again has white tea aloe and also vitamin E this rich cream is to help restore and balance your skins natural moisture to leave it feeling hydrated. Amazingly even though its a thick cream it glides across my skin like silk and leaves it so so soft.

Aloe Nourishing Serum

This is my favourite product out of the whole range its so lightweight which makes it effortless to apply and it absorbs into my skin straight away and leaves my skin so soft all day long its my first time using a serum and i literally don't know why i wasn't using one all along. It contains aloe white tea and mimosa bark extracts.

Aloe Deep-Cleansing Exfoliator 

This contains aloe and natural jojoba beads and it cleanses and moisturises as it exfoliates it leaves my skin feeling so smooth and firm at the same time. It says its so effective that you only need to use it 3 times a week but personally i wouldn't use an exfoliator any more than that.

Each product is priced individually or you can get them all in a box together. They are AMAZING if ye would like anymore information on these products don't hesitate to message me and i will get back to ye as soon as i can.

So sue workshop

Hey all.

Hope ye are well. Myself and my friend yvonne attended the so sue me workshop yesterday in The brehon killarney. As a blogger who has started blogging from reading blogs from Suzanne and other bloggers I was only delighted to have been able to buy a ticket before they sold out. The whole day was beautiful I am getting married there so already know the staff are amazing and they make you feel so welcome from the minute you step in the front door. At the door of the event we were greated by Dylan and a girl who's name i didn't catch they were just making sure your name was on the list then Damien Suzannes father who is so nice and such a gas man handed out the goodie bags I went through it on my Snapchat (lorzyloops2) today. Suzanne came out after being introduced by her dad and she firstly talked about blogging and her career path how she got to where she is etc.. there was make up demos from 2 make up artists both on Instagram as @makeupbyfiona_mua and @sineadmurphy_makeup go check them out they are super talented. There was a skin talk about envoiron by monica tolan @mtolanbeauty on instagram. We bought raffle tickets for fab prizes that of course I won none of (I wouldnt win an argument) although i did win an environ goody from monica i cant wait to use it. The money from the raffle went to 2 dog charities which is great there was a prize for best dressed best tweet and best instagram. There was a fashion show the models were beautiful and the clothes they modeled were fab and so affordable. In the middle of the day there was a break for afternoon tea. It was AMAZING and then afterwards there was time for pictures and chats with Suzanne. I bought 1 of her books on the day and she signed it for me we took a picture and had a quick chat I told her I was blogging and general chit chat she's fab and so down to earth I got so inspired on the day it was great hearing how she started and what she was doing before the blog. The tickets were €75 and well worth it! I will definitely go again if she's back in the kingdom.

Isadora review

Hey guys.

Hope ye are well. This post is going to be all about 2 isadora products I was given by the fab girls in the park Road pharmacy. They are a fluid highlighter and a nourishing lip oil. Isadora is a brand I have been using for years and I have always been impressed with their products and they are such a good price point too. So out of the 2 my favourite is definitely the lip oil. I can't get enough of this product it's AMAZING I have been using it every night going to bed and I pop in on during the day if I feel the need. Its my new favourite go to product. Its got argan and avacado oil in it and is flavoured with lime vanilla and rosemary. It's really moisturising and leaves my lips feeling so soft. It feels fab on the lips too it's not too oily and it's not sticky like a lip gloss it's just the perfect consistency. I no coming into the winter months I'm going to go through tubes of it. I'm not sure if it was €15 or €16 but it's definitely worth it.

Now the strobing face glow it's a fluid highlighter basically. I love this product too. I have oily skin so I'm kind of afraid of fluid highlighters because I'm afraid they will make me look like an oily mess so I tested this 3 different ways firstly on the highest points of my face like my cheek bones above my brows and on my cupids bow under my foundation I then tried it by mixing a pump in with my foundation and also just tried it on its own. I loved it on its own because it just gave me a lovely glow without adding anything else to my face and I love it under my foundation but mixing it with my foundation and putting it all over my face just didn't work for me because of my oily skin so if you are a dryer skin type it might work for you but for me just putting it on the highest points of my face before my foundation worked best. It's €16.99 but it's fab and I use it every time I wear make up now I love it.

This is the 1 u use there are 2 shades cool glow and warm glow.

That's all for now

Quick review

Hey guys hope ye are well. Lying here in bed and can't sleep.. so i said I would do the quickest review in history for ye if you follow me on Snapchat @lorzyloops2 you will know I have the cleanse of mitt from Jennifer rock (theskinnerd) i bought mine in what woman want killarney for €5 and I love it but the girls in the park Road pharmacy killarney gave me a pink cleanse off mitt by infinity they are the people who make the orange tan mitts that us girls have used at 1 point or another it's €4 and does exactly the same thing as the blue 1 so if you can't get your hands on the blue 1 i know they are sold out nearly everywhere honestly try the pink 1 they are in my eyes identical u use both with just water and it removes your make up instantly.

This is the both of them.
