12 Days of Giftmas - Flormar ¦ Giveaway

And, finally, on the 12th day of Giftmas, my true love gave to me, professional make-up made easy...

One of my posts which has been most well-received, and garnered some of the most attention and engagement this year, was about the relaunch of Flormar in Ireland. Flormar is an Italian make-up brand which is now made in Turkey and which used to be sold in Ireland in the past. However, it was relaunched into the Irish market this year after being absent for some time. It is a professional make-up brand which retails at highstreet prices, ranging from €2.95 to €12.95, which means it offers some serious quality at a really affordable price point.

Currently, it is available in over 140 locations across Ireland (pharmacies, stores etc) with a free-standing store that exclusively sells the entire line in the works and a projection that it will be available in 200 locations by February. I actually even wrote a separate post about where it is being sold at the moment because I got so many inquiries about, and interest in, it.

The real testament to a brand, however, isn't the carefully worded press samples, expansion and buzz but in the actual products themselves. And, I have to say, they live up to the hype. Some of their products have even become make-up bag staples for me, alongside brands such as Urban Decay, Benefit, Miisha, Etude House and Tony Moly.

All of which is why they are closing out my first ever 12 Days of Giftmas.

"But what, pray tell, might this 12 Days of Giftmas be?" you're probably asking.

If you didn't read yesterday's post about The Zipyard, let me explain it again!

The 12 Days of Giftmas is a project that occurred to me last week. An idea that I ambitiously decided to go through with very last minute - I must be a lunatic. It's a sort of advent calendar for me and my readers, a way of saying thank you for reading and rewarding you in a small way. For the first 12 days of December, I will be writing a post every day on a shop, brand or item that would make good gifts. This is instead of the long gift ideas posts I've done in the past and offers a more in-depth look at some amazing companies and things. To complement each post, I've also teamed up with these fantastic brands and will be giving something away each day! So, the 12 Days of Giftmas will give you some gift ideas and the potential to win something for a loved one (or yourself!).

I could recommend all of the range as potential gift ideas, particularly for the make-up addicts in your life as a smaller budget is going to go a lot further here than it might at other professional brands. However, I think it will suffice to just suggest a few of my favourites and let you do some of your own swatching and playing around at the counters for yourself.

The first item that has to be included here is probably my most-used product from Flormar, their eyeshadow palette (€9.95) in the shade 04. Containing five shades from cream to beige to brown tones, it's a slim, compact palette that is literally the perfect size for popping in an everyday make-up pouch. It's also got all the shades necessary to add definition to your eye sockets, line your eyes, add light to the inner corners and brow bone and, potentially, fill in your brows if you're stuck.

Another highlight of the line is the Illuminating Primer Make Up Base (€9.95), literally. This crap pumps out which is great for getting the right amount and being hygienic and makes you look all glowy and alive to boot.

Their Revolution Lipsticks (€6.95) are long-wearing, creamy, look like a Mod sixties dream and come in an array of gorgeous colours. And their Terracotta Blush-Ons (€11.95) are the most dreamy beautiful marbled blushes in pretty shades with flecks of metallics and glitter throughout which makes the application gorgeous.

These really are beautiful products and the prices are unbeatable. So, if you want to give this amazing brand a try for yourself, enter my giveaway of two lipsticks, a lipgloss, a nail polish and one of the Terracotta blushes.

4. Competition closes a week from now on the 19th of December 2015 at midnight Irish time.
5. Winners will be chosen at random.
6. I will then comment below the winner's comment and ask you to email my official blog email address.

And that's that! Good luck and thanks for reading. This has been the 12 Days of Giftmas.

(Thanks to Flormar for everything!)

12 Days of Giftmas -The Zipyard II ¦ Giveaway

On the eleventh day of Giftmas my true love gave to me, a way to get the clothes I really need...

A while back I worked with The Zipyard on a post where they took a piece that I loved but needed revitalising and breathed new life into the garment. The result was that something I always had to carefully style and felt guilty about not wearing enough becoming something ridiculously cool that I wanted to wear and show off.

At the press day that pre-dated the update of said garment, I was truly blown away by the company and the kinds of services they offered from tailoring to altering and from completely changing garments to replicating items. When it comes to updating the clothes, there are stylists and experts instore who will help you realise your vision for a garment, or even come up with and suggest ideas, if you're unsure yourself. If you peruse their website, you'll be able to see a selection of projects that they've worked on in the past and get a sense of the amazing things that they can do. Suffice it to say, however, that they can completely transform pieces, almost as if by magic.

Last week, I decided that I also wanted to try out their replication services. I have a particular black dress which is incredibly simple, a kind of shift that I wear as a pinafore over tees and shirts. It's a favourite of mine, I often wear it multiple times a week as it can be styled in so many different ways. And, as I do wear it so much, I wanted another one. I popped into the Zipyard branch at Jervis where the wonderful team and store manager, Patrick, in particular, were super lovely and helpful. Once I brought them the original dress and a similar, but thicker, fabric in navy, they were able to make me another. I was delighted with the result which is slightly more structured and flares out at the hem but has the same basic silhouette. It's impossibly well-made and everything I wanted.

Which is why I had to include them as an entry into the 12 Days of Giftmas.

"But what, pray tell, might this 12 Days of Giftmas be?" you're probably asking.

If you didn't read yesterday's post about VOYA, let me explain it again!

The 12 Days of Giftmas is a project that occurred to me last week. An idea that I ambitiously decided to go through with very last minute - I must be a lunatic. It's a sort of advent calendar for me and my readers, a way of saying thank you for reading and rewarding you in a small way.

To complement each post, I've also teamed up with these fantastic brands and will be giving something away each day! So, the 12 Days of Giftmas will give you some gift ideas and the potential to win something for a loved one (or yourself!).

We all acquire so much new stuff that we often don't actually need each Christmas that I thought including The Zipyard might be a nice idea as an alternative gift idea. Whether it's getting a friend's favourite coat relined, a beloved dress taken in or up to be worn again or a holy grail top replicated; there's a service for all the people in your life. And for yourself.

Because, like me, too many of us have that coat hiding at the back of the wardrobe that needs re-jigging or a piece we only fell in love with later and wished we had multiples of. For a wardrobe that really works for you and things you really want to wear, you need to head to The Zipyard.

12 Days of Giftmas - VOYA ¦ Giveaway

On the tenth day of Giftmas my true love gave to me, Irish organic skincare from the sea...

VOYA is one of my all-time favourite beauty brands. They were the first brand that I worked with, almost two years ago, just as I was getting into beauty, skincare and make-up properly. In fact, only a few days after I finally committed to establishing a proper skincare routine and trying to use more natural products, I got the email to attend my very first blogger event with them. As a result, they have a particularly fond place in my heart.

Aside from this though, there's a lot to love. And there's a reason that I've gotten friends and my mother hooked on the brand. In fact, Mammy's Christmas request from me and my siblings this year was "just lots of VOYA stuff."

They're Irish, a family-run business, natural, pick inspirational ladies as their spokespeople, make damn good skincare and, oh yeah, everything smells so damn good. I have my favourite products, of course, but I've yet to try anything from them that I didn't get on with. And you'd best believe that anytime I have the option, I choose a spa or hotel that stocks their products (and then ransack the hotel of every product left out in my room).

All of this is why they had to be part of the 12 Days of Giftmas.

IMG_3113

"But what, pray tell, might this 12 Days of Giftmas be?" you're probably asking.

If you didn't read yesterday's post about OPSH, let me explain it again!

The 12 Days of Giftmas is a project that occurred to me last week. An idea that I ambitiously decided to go through with very last minute - I must be a lunatic. It's a sort of advent calendar for me and my readers, a way of saying thank you for reading and rewarding you in a small way.

To complement each post, I've also teamed up with these fantastic brands and will be giving something away each day! So, the 12 Days of Giftmas will give you some gift ideas and the potential to win something for a loved one (or yourself!).

There are a lot of great gift ideas and options from VOYA and to suit a range of budgets and different recipients. If you don't have a lot of money to spend, for example, you needn't despair as this luxury brand has got your back. You can get a cute little Skincare Kit with travel sizes of their Me Time Moisturiser, Cleanse and Mend Cleanser, Ritzy Spritzy Toner and Maskerade Hydrating Facial Mask, all in a little VOYA cosmetic pouch, for just (RRP) €20.00.

And, if you want to give someone a spa day out but don't have a lot of cash, you can get their Lazy Days seaweed bath pack for €18.00 to bring the spa to you.

If you have more to spend and time to bring them on a wee trip to Sligo, the birthplace of VOYA, you can buy a range of vouchers to use in their Strandhill spa.

Then, if you're feeling luxurious, they have the kind of gifts a loved one would never justify buying for themselves that make great presents for spoiling people such as the Hair Gift Set with their high end (and effective) shampoo and conditioner (€43.00).

They also have lovely bits for the house such as their range of diffusers with scents such as African Lime and Clove for €44.00 and a range of candles and refills.

There's also a range of Christmas gift sets including Christmas Mitts Limited Edition Hand Care Gift Set (€34.00) and their Christmas Spiced Candle (€20.00).

In addition, there's a whole range of skin, body and haircare products that you can pick and choose from to make up a little luxury hamper for someone, as we'll be doing for Mam. Basically, VOYA makes the products you need to pamper the hard-working, fantastic people in your life.

So, if you want to give this amazing brand a go, why not enter my giveaway of a recent VOYA launch, the delicious-smelling Angelicus Serratus Nourishing Body and Massage Oil.

VOYA is stocked online, in spas around the world and in stores such as Avoca.

12 Days of Giftmas - Caudalie ¦ Giveaway

On the sixth day of Giftmas my true love gave to me, French skincare that's chic...

Caudalie is a natural French skincare brand that has highly concentrated and effective formulas, is cruelty free, includes no parabens, uses recyclable and recycled materials in their packaging, tries to minimise its effects on the environment and donates portions of their sales to charitable organisations. As well as having a soul, it's a brand that offers results. They emphasise attention to detail and put some products through up to 200 trials to ensure that they have the most desirable textures. The results are creams, lotions, oils and elixirs that feel soothing and delicious on the skin, that are a joy to use. Their eye cream, in particular, is a personal favourite - the best one I've ever tried.

Which is why they needed to be included in the 12 Days of Giftmas.

IMG_3089

"But what, pray tell, might this 12 Days of Giftmas be?" you're probably asking.

If you didn't read yesterday's post about Billion Dollar Brows, let me explain it again!

The 12 Days of Giftmas is a project that occurred to me last week. An idea that I ambitiously decided to go through with very last minute - I must be a lunatic. It's a sort of advent calendar for me and my readers, a way of saying thank you for reading and rewarding you in a small way. For the first 12 days of December, I will be writing a post every day on a shop, brand or item that would make good gifts. This is instead of the long gift ideas posts I've done in the past and offers a more in-depth look at some amazing companies and things. To complement each post, I've also teamed up with these fantastic brands and will be giving something away each day! So, the 12 Days of Giftmas will give you some gift ideas and the potential to win something for a loved one (or yourself!).

Caudalie, like many beauty brands, do great gift sets for Christmas that suit lots of budgets and offer great stocking filler options. However, if you happen to know someone is looking to try a new cleanser or moisturiser, there's a wide range to choose from depending on their particular skincare concerns. I can't recommend the Polyphenol Anti-Wrinkle Eye & Lip Cream (RRP €25.60) enough for anyone with mature skin or who just likes seriously creamy eye creams. If you're buying a gift for a skincare lover who likes to try out new things, consider their Make-Up Remover Cleansing Micellar (€17.90 for 400ml) water. Admittedly, it's not the sexiest gift in the world, but it's got an awesome pump design which is handy and hygienic, it'll switch things up for Bioderma devotees and it's extremely good value for quite a highend cleanser. Similarly, their Divine Oil (€16.80) is what it says on the tin (or bottle, I guess); divine. Intensely moisturising and pretty to look at, skincare nerds will love it. And, for fans of cult beauty icons, their famous Beauty Elixir (€10.90 for 30ml) is a must. Just spritz it on intermittently throughout the day for a moisture boost and to look refreshed.

When it comes to gift sets, there are a few I'd recommend. The best thing about all of them is that they're really good value. You can get substantial gifts for under €30.00 and rather luxurious ones for more. The likes of Space NK stock really great baubles with bestsellers inside which make fantastic stocking fillers. You can get a 15ml Divine Oil for €9.00 and a 30ml Beauty Elixir for €12.00.

In addition, there are sets like the Hand Cream Trio that has three different beautifully scented hand creams in a pretty presentation box for €13.00 and the Must-Have set with four minis of their key products (including the Beauty Elixir, a cleansing oil, hand cream and moisturiser) for €19.50.

There are many, many more options so if you don't have a massive budget and want to give someone the gift of skincare indulgence, hit them up.

So, if you want to give this amazing brand a go, why not enter my giveaway of two Caudalie bestsellers - the Micellar Water and Divine Oil.

1. Sadly, I can only keep my giveaways open to Ireland this time around. I apologise to those who might disappointed but I have to keep the generous brands that I'm working with in mind!
2. The prize is Caudalie's Micellar Water and Divine Oil.
3. All you need to do is comment below here or on Facebook with who you'd give it to - or if you want it for yourself! However, you must be following me on at least one platform (FacebookInstagramTwitter, Google Friend Connect, Bloglovin'Tumblr), let me know which one in the comment if it's not obvious!
4. Competition closes a week from now on the 13th of December 2015 at midnight Irish time.
5. Winners will be chosen at random.
6. I will then comment below the winner's comment and ask you to email my official blog email address.

12 Days of Giftmas - Billion Dollar Brows ¦ Giveaway

On the fifth day of Giftmas my true love gave to me, brows that fill others with envy...

I recently attended a Billion Dollar Brows event with their founder Natalie Plain upon the Irish launch of the brand in stores and learned all about them. Previously, they had been exclusively on sale in salons but now they're available in Boots and other retailers. I also got their full range of products to play around with. And while I had enjoyed the few bits from them that I had tried before, my affection for the brand was really cemented once I got to give the rest of the line a whirl.

Which is why I had to include them in the 12 Days of Giftmas.

"But what, pray tell, might this 12 Days of Giftmas be?" you're probably asking.

If you didn't read yesterday's post about REN Skincare, let me explain it again!

The 12 Days of Giftmas is a project that occurred to me last week. An idea that I ambitiously decided to go through with very last minute - I must be a lunatic. It's a sort of advent calendar for me and my readers, a way of saying thank you for reading and rewarding you in a small way. For the first 12 days of December, I will be writing a post every day on a shop, brand or item that would make good gifts. This is instead of the long gift ideas posts I've done in the past and offers a more in-depth look at some amazing companies and things. To complement each post, I've also teamed up with these fantastic brands and will be giving something away each day! So, the 12 Days of Giftmas will give you some gift ideas and the potential to win something for a loved one (or yourself!).

The individual products include their clear Eyebrow GelBrow Powder and the Universal Eyebrow Pencil (universal because the shade of brown is so light that it can be used as lightly or as heavily as needed to match almost all hair tones) which would all make great stocking fillers for the beauty and brow addicts in your life.

However, their kits are really the perfect thing as gifts for co-workers, family, pals and Secret Santas alike. The 60 Seconds to Beautiful Brows Kit (RRP €34.00) includes their brow brush and powder and is equated to "putting your hair in a ponytail", i.e. it offers quick, easy, neat results without any fuss. It's a great entry-level kit as a gift which won't break the bank but will give someone all they need to get started. The Best Sellers Kit (€68.00), meanwhile, has the universal pencil, gel, a dual-ended pencil for concealing and highlighting, and a smudge brush for more advanced, elaborate brow prep. This one is for the real beauty lovers in your life, those serious about their brows or just someone you really like. And, for the beauty fans that love a bit of beauty innovation or tech, the Brow Buddy Kit (€31.00) is ideal. It includes their Brow Buddy tool which allows you to measure your brows to perfection and shows where you need to pluck or fill in, a pencil for marking it out and a step-by-step guide.

Having tried everything on both myself and family and friends, I'd recommend all the sets but the Best Sellers kit is really the most versatile if you have to choose one. It also seems a bit pricey but is really good value for what you get in it!

So, if you want to give this amazing brand a go, why not enter my giveaway of a special limited edition gift set that isn't available to purchase? It includes a BDB cosmetic bag filled with some of their best-loved products.

1. Sadly, I can only keep my giveaways open to Ireland this time around. I apologise to those who might disappointed but I have to keep the generous brands that I'm working with in mind!
2. The prize is one BDB Gift Set.
3. All you need to do is comment below here or on Facebook with who you'd give it to - or if you want it for yourself! However, you must be following me on at least one platform (FacebookInstagramTwitter, Google Friend Connect, Bloglovin'Tumblr), let me know which one in the comment if it's not obvious!
4. Competition closes a week from now on the 12th of December 2015 at midnight Irish time.
5. Winners will be chosen at random.
6. I will then comment below the winner's comment and ask you to email my official blog email address.

12 Days of Giftmas - REN Skincare ¦ Giveaway

On the fourth day of Giftmas my true love gave to me, great skin, naturally...

REN is one of my go-to skincare brands. Invariably, I love anything they do. New REN launches are among the most exciting beauty launches for me each season and they have produced many of my Holy Grail skincare products. Not only do they sell all your mundane (but great) skincare basics, they also do really innovative, cool and exciting products which would make the perfect gift for the skincare and beauty nerds in your life (i.e. me). In addition, they also have a wide array of gift sets each year to suit every budget whether you're buying for your mother, father, sibling, friend, Secret Santa, co-worker or significant other. Basically, REN's got your back.

Which is why they are the brand that I'm focusing on for today's 12 Days of Giftmas post.

IMG_3079

"But what, pray tell, might this 12 Days of Giftmas be?" you're probably asking.

If you didn't read yesterday's post about Viviscal, let me explain it again!

The 12 Days of Giftmas is a project that occurred to me last week. An idea that I ambitiously decided to go through with very last minute - I must be a lunatic. It's a sort of advent calendar for me and my readers, a way of saying thank you for reading and rewarding you in a small way. For the first 12 days of December, I will be writing a post every day on a shop, brand or item that would make good gifts. This is instead of the long gift ideas posts I've done in the past and offers a more in-depth look at some amazing companies and things. To complement each post, I've also teamed up with these fantastic brands and will be giving something away each day! So, the 12 Days of Giftmas will give you some gift ideas and the potential to win something for a loved one (or yourself!).

Some personal favourites from the range include the V-Cense Revitalising Night Cream (RRP £32.00) and V-Cense Youth Vitality Day Cream (£28.00). Both are ludicrously creamy and intensely moisturising, come in handy pump bottles and have a mild, comforting smell but the night cream, in particular, is a serious love of mine. Plus, they just feel pleasant on the cream. I'm currently testing out different moisturisers I got to review but I could definitely see myself going back to these. I also love the Vita Mineral Omega 3 Optimum Skin Oil (£25.00), a serum I throw on overnight after moisturisers for a serious boost. The next day I wake up with plump, happy, uber-soft skin.

Much as I adore these skincare essentials, it's the aforementioned innovative stuff that I get properly excited for. Examples that I'm particularly fond of include the Keep Young and Beautiful Instant Firming Beauty Shot (£36.00) and the Flash Rinse 1 Minute Facial (£32.00) The Beauty Shot is classified as a serum and the Flash Rinse as a mask but both are so much more than that. Long-term use will provide noticeable firmness (in the case of the former) and clarity (the latter) but its their immediately visible results that separate them from other skincare products. The Beauty Shot will immediately give you plumper skin and is a saviour after long flights or when you're exhausted whereas the Flash Rinse will brighten and revitalise the skin, giving you a noticeable glow. Both are really good gifts for beauty nerds as they're rather unique.

For body care, the Moroccan Rose line smells DELICIOUS. Like, seriously. People will grab you and demand to know what it is - but usually only people who know you well. It's not your typical rose scent but spicy and more complex and seriously addictive. You'll be sniffing yourself along with all the others doing it! The Moroccan Rose Gold Glow Perfect Dry Oil (£26.00) makes your skin look great and glowy, makes you all soft and smells lovely and the Moroccan Rose Otto Body Wash (£18.00) is the perfect luxurious accompaniment to make you smell extra damn good. These are the gifts for the perfume obsessives.

The gift sets, then, are also great options. Something like the Glow and Go kit (£14.00) is good for smaller budgets or stocking fillers and has a Flash Rinse mini and a mini of the  Glycolactic Radiance Renewal Mask. The idea being that you use the former in the morning and the latter at night for instantly glowy skin. Great for the party animal in your life who needs to look their best before a big do.

The Instant Beauty Booster set (£32.00), if you have a bigger budget, gives you a full-size of the Glycolactic mask and minis of the Flash Rinse and Beauty Shot and is a seriously luxurious treat - and a bargain to boot as it is worth £53.00.

If you have a pal with sensitive skin the Stop Being So Sensitive kit (£34.00) is a great option and pretty much everything they need to get started.

Finally, for fans of the Moroccan Rose line the Moroccan Rose Duo (£36.00) is a perfect gift with a full-size body wash and lotion included.

The last two posts were about party season prep and beauty gifts and these options are great for that too but also offer long-term care, salvation after the party and pampering, high-quality skincare regimes for your future. Our skin is our biggest organ and it deserves some love this Christmas/Festive season.

REN is available online, from Feel Unique, ASOS, Space NK, Marks and Spencer and more.

So, if you want to give this amazing brand a go, why not enter my giveaway of a Flash Rinse 1 Minute Facial?

1. Sadly, I can only keep my giveaways open to Ireland this time around. I apologise to those who might disappointed but I have to keep the generous brands that I'm working with in mind!
2. The prize is one Flash Rinse 1 Minute Facial.
3. All you need to do is comment below here or on Facebook with who you'd give it to - or if you want it for yourself! However, you must be following me on at least one platform (FacebookInstagramTwitter, Google Friend Connect, Bloglovin'Tumblr), let me know which one in the comment if it's not obvious!
4. Competition closes a week from now on the 11th of December 2015 at midnight Irish time.
5. Winners will be chosen at random.
6. I will then comment below the winner's comment and ask you to email my official blog email address.
