A Lidl Bit Of Beauty Goes A Long Way

If you were following my snapchat during the week, maryroche2, you would have seen that on Thursday 23rd I attended the launch of Lidl's Cien Makeup and Professional Hair Care range in the very fabulous surroundings of Dylan Bradshaw's .

The range includes a number of essentials, including a multitasking BB Cream. It has an SPF 15 and comes in two shades. The range also features several shades of lipstick, lip gloss, nail varnish and mascara. The hair care range has a high end brand look to it and it smells so good, the collection offers shampoo, conditioner, hair mask and a heat protection spray.

The price is, as would you expect coming from Lidl, extremely affordable. On first impressions, the products I was most drawn to where, the lipsticks and after swatching them, I was impressed by their strong pigment. The lips gloss again has a good pigment to them and a nice shine when on the lips, lastly the BB Cream. I had used the BB Cream that was in Lidl before however I find this one to be of a thicker consistency compared to the previous range. The Nude Brown lipstick could be a dupe for MAC Velvet Teddy.

The Lipstick and gloss come in 6 shades including frozen ice, sugar plum and bold bordeaux.

This range is not just seasonal, it is here to stay. So you can pick up the whole collection over time if you want. I think this range is also a great option for teenagers that are at the experimenting stage with makeup as it will not break the bank. Prices range from €1.89 to €2.99. The branding of the new collection is fresh and sleek and it has great options for affordable day wear.

Nail Varnish comes in 6 shades

Eyeshadow comes in 4 shades

Mascara in Waterproof & Volume

The Cien Collection will be hitting stores on the 30th of June so keep an eye out.

Flormar Revolution Lipstick In Burgundy Mission

These are the three berry colours available I was delighted to receive a sample of the Revolution lipstick in burgundy mission, along with the lip liner to match. These were Kindly sent from RDC Communications . Flormar was launched this year in Ireland and it has proven to be a huge success and a popular choice for those who want affordability and quality. I tested this lipstick out over Christmas, as I am trying to be more adventurous and try out stronger colours, as I normally tend to stick with nude tones. This lipstick is a rich berry colour with blue undertones, having these undertones makes your teeth appear whiter. "Revolution is Flormar premium lipstick containing shea butter, cocoa, olives, a super pigment and easy 8 hr staying power" . Swatch of lipstick and liner Application Tips: Before application ensure your lips are in good condition especially in this harsh weather. Exfoliate to remove any dry skin and apply vase

Finally Contouring is getting the push

Anyone else as happy as me to see that contouring is not as popular in the makeup world. I personally could never get used to it. I think it looks amazing in photographers or on a night out when done right. If you prefer a more heavy look. I believe strobing has been around before it was just called highlighting then. So do not be confused!!! For me I prefer a more natural look when it comes to makeup. The whole idea with strobing is that you can see the skin and it is not heavily covered up. I have been using the Mac Strobe Cream for a few months now. You can also strobe with powder. Mary-Loumanizer by the Balm Mac Soft and Gentle What I like about Mac Strobe? It makes the skin look radiant,fresh and healthy (for tired Mammies like me it's a must) It's easily applied. It's a no fuss product, there is no messing with it. It can be worn alone or added after foundation is applied. With some blush you are good to go. Lo
