Soap & Glory Make-Up Launch

Monday, October 17th, 2011

You may recognise Soap & Glory for their bright, colourful packaging & luxurious cleansers & moisturisers.

Their tongue in cheek product names have certainly kept us entertained and now we are happy to say that they have ventured into the world of make-up.

With a range covering everything from concealer & foundation to lipgloss and liquid liners, the LA team are really looking forward to giving this collection a test run!

The concealers have been compared to those of Bobbi Brown, the only noticeable different being that it is less than half the price!

Along with 6 shades of foundations to choose from & an array of blushes, bronzers & long-wear eye shadows, one product that really stood out to us was the eyeshadow primer.

“It’s about prime” comes in two shades; nude & smokey. We love the idea of a primer in a smokey shade to really give a good depth of colour to work with & keep your look smouldering all day.

There is something for everyone in this amazing new range & with a maximum price of €15 we are sure it will be well received.

The full range may only be found in some of the larger boots stores i.e. Liffey Valley but keep an eye out for some of these products filtering into your make-up counters.

Have you tried any of these products yet?

Let us know what you think?

NEW ARRIVAL! Xen Tan Perfect Blend

Wednesday, July 27th, 2011

On Monday of this week, a new addition arrived to the Xen Tan family arrived to our studios; the new Xen Tan Perfect Blend.

A brand new addition to the range, Perfect Blend is an innovative new product in self-application that allows you to choose just the right colour to complement your skin tone and blend flawlessly to create a natural, olive glow.

Perfect for fake tan beginners and experienced self-tanners, you can now create your own tan as light or as dark as you like and still have confidence in knowing your colour is customised to match your unique skin tone.

Perfect Blend also has a quick dry formulation and contains a deodoriser that locks out self-tan odour, providing a delicious fresh fragrance.

Xen Tan has a celeb following of stars such as Holly Willoughby, Gok Wan, Una Healy and Lady Gaga. The Perfect Blend tan has been launched 3 weeks ago and normally retails for EUR40 and is available from our studio on Chatham Street just off Grafton Street. If you are not a confident tanner or simply do not enjoy doing your own tan, LA Make-Up Academy offer Xen Tan Spray tans by our trained professionals!
