BBold Flawless Legs Medium Tan

Now as you all know I'm a tan aholic so I love a good tan and one thing I never talk about much is instant tans. 

So bBold Flawless Legs in Medium €6.99 from Dolledup.ie plus many pharmacys nationwide 
 

I've used this tan a few times and have been loving it. I apply it over tan on my legs because like most tans they don't always take as dark on my legs. It evens out the skin tone so it hides brushes and veins that we don't like to expose when wearing skirts, or shorts. 
I apply mine with a Glove Your Body Tanning Mitt and it literally glides onto the legs and dries in nice and quick so you're not waiting long to pop clothes on. It won't rub off onto your clothes either which is great and come off in the rain!!! 
 

Warm soapy water, shower or bath removes it so don't worry spiller drink on a night out isn't as much of a worry as you think when wearing the Flawless Legs. 

You don't have to just apply to the legs it's great on your arms or chest to which is handy for fixing up any tan lines. 

If you want a dark tan on the legs though I'd go for the darker version if you don't have any other tan on before applying. 

If you have tried it what did you think?

Shiseido Meet-Up Event


On Wednesday evening I was kindly invited to a Shiseido Meet-up event to show some bloggers about the range of products and the brand itself.  

When I got there I arrived to a lovely training room layed out really lovely and greeted with such a warm welcome. The lovely Fiona couldn't have been any nicer and organised such a great event. 
There where canapés on arrival along with prosecco. What a spread it was!! 
 
 
 
 

Shiseido is over 145 years old and was founded in 1872 in Japan. 
They are in Ireland since 1992, I have heard of the brand and to be quite honest I never really knew too much about them so I was intrigued to hear more about them. 

They are a skincare, makeup and fragrance company and own many other well know brands such as Nars and Issey Miyake plus many more. 

The event itself was amazing and very informative which is safe to say I NEED SHISEIDO in my life!! 
They where the first to bring out a 24 hr moisturiser which is sold ever 15 seconds. They are also the first brand to bring out Bio-hyalauronic acid which plumps the skin along with moistursing the skin and leave it looking radiant. 
My favourite of all is the Ultimune product which is a serum that treat any imperfection or blemishes on the skin along with leaving it look radiant!! These are the most awarded cosmetic on the market with over 54 global awards. 
 
 

Everyone was shown a couple of clips about the brand, where it came from and the founder along with a couple of videos showing the powder of makeup and your take on things about cosmetics along with a brief over view of the brand. 
I found it all very informative. 

We where then shown a makeup demo from the lovely Danielle Mahon who is a brand ambassador for Shiseido. Here's the link to her site Danielle Mahon
Danielle talked us through the brand and some of her favourite products. 
It's always great to see other MUA's in action :) 

I went mad about the new foundation and I am only dying to get my hands on it. 
 

It's Synchro Skin €48 
The foundation is suitable for all skin types because it adapts you your skin when you apply it. It's abuildable coverage and inhances the skins natural vitality and complection. 

I tested it out on the back of my hand and it dried in so nice. I left it on my hand for a good few hours and it didn't transfer onto my clothes. I rubbed it quite a few times and it didn't budge. Now if you are like me and want a foundation that doesn't look cakey, improves skin and doesn't rub off easy this seems to be the one. I love the fact that it suits every skin type and tone so there's no worrying what type or under tone is needed it suits everyone! 
I will definitely be stocking up on this for myself as well as my kit. 

The evening itself was great I met some lovely new bloggers that I'd never met before and caught up with some I'd not seen in awhile. All in all it was a great evening.  

When leaving we were all giving an amazing goody bag to take home 
 
Containing all these goodys and it's safe to say I've tried the cleanser and loving it. I'll have all info and reviews on the products we received up very soon. 
In the mean time if you have Snapchat follow mine lipstickglitz and you will see all info about the products when I use them. 

Thanks again to the lovely and fab Fiona from  
The Works PR for inviting me and everyone at Shiseido Ireland.

The Body Shop - Oils Of Life

A little while ago I picked up The Body Shop Oils Of Life Intensely Revitalising Facial Oil at the Elite Munster Blogger event in Limerick. 

One of the lovely ladies from The Body Shop talked me through the range and was so informative on the products so I just knew I had to have the facial oil. 

 

I'm a big fan of oils for my skin as I'm super dry and dehydrated at the best of times so the oils really work their way into the skin. 

This oil is so natural and had three natural ingredients which work wonders on the skin. Black Cumin Oil from Egypt, Rosehip Oil from Chile, and Camella Oil from China. 

These three ingredients are antioxidants, omega 3 and 6, oleic acid which all leave the skin looking revitalised and reduce signs of aging along with leaving the skin looking smoother and radiant and deeply nourished. 

You apply 1-2 drops onto the face and becky and gently massage into the skin morning and night before applying your cream. 

I've been doing this for quite awhile now to really test out the product and I have noticed a massive difference on my face. 
It's much more radiant and healthy looking along with reducing the dryness on my skin. In fact if I don't use it for a day or two the difference in dryness is crazy. 
The oil itself smells lovely and when you apply it it literally absorbs into the skin without leaving your skin tacky or oily. 

With this product being so good I decided to apply it to my hands which do be really dry and to my elbows and any other parts of my body that are really dry. They have all gradually improved and are not as dry. 

By apply the oil to my hands it will also reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The first sign of aging is on your hands so make sure you start treating your hands along with your face and neck :) you won't regret it.... Trust me!!! 

A 30ML bottle is €48 from the It's quite expensive but a very little goes a long way so you will get ages out of this bottle.

Have you got this or plan on picking it up?

L.A Girl Pro. Concealer


L.A Girl Pro. Conceal HD Concealer. 

I picked these up quite awhile ago and in my kit along with my own makeup collection. 
These babies are a must have in anyone's makeup stash!!! 

So L.A Girl is an American brand that have been around for quite awhile but are super cheap and great products. 

The Pro. conceal HD Concealer is a great little product. 
They give a natural finish to the skin but are also light weight so you're not left with a cakey look on the face. They hide inperfections, fine lines and wrinkles. 

 

As you can see they are a pen like shape. The top of the concealer has a brush so it's super easy to apply and saves any waste when using them. 
These are they shades I use the most 
Top - Bottom Porcelain, Classic Ivory, Warm Honey. 

The Porcelain is the shade I use to highlight when contouring and highlighting. 
Classic Ivory is perfect for when concealing over or under foundation because of the under tone is hides any dark circles. 
The Warm Honey is the shade I use to Contour  also. 

When using these I either blend them out with a makeup brush ( kabuki ) or a beauty blender. They blend so easily because the product is so light. Then I set with powder products or a setting spray depending on the look I'm going for, and they literally DO NOT BUDGE from my face ALL day. No creasing, separating or changing in colour which is great for contouring and highlighting. 

They come in lots of different shades and you can even colour correct with the shades available. 

Sadly pharmacys and the likes don't actually stock L.A Girl so they are more of an online purchase.... But don't worry I have prices and a link if anyone wants to pick some up. 

TRNDbeauty stock them for €6.80 along with all the shades. So there is a colour to suit every shade and use on TRNDbeauty :) 

If you are lucky enough to be heading to the states you will find them in most cosmetic stores and a little cheaper so stock up!! 

Have you tried or picked any of these up? If so let me know what you thought of them :)
