Budget prices for Quality Makeup

Wednesday, March 31st, 2010

img_0008xWe know there are so many sales on in Irish shops at the moment but sometimes it’s still too dear. Especially when you need to stock up a whole makeup artist’s kit!

But you’d be surprised the bargains you can find online or even on the way to your next holiday.

  • Do you remember we posted a few weeks back about some Alice in Wonderland makeup products? We just heard that the fabulous Urban Decay Alice Eye shadow set is on sale with Aer Lingus for only €21.00!
  • This week is Final Week of the great Spring Sale over at on the lookfantastic site! Up to 82% off cosmetics and beauty products.
  • If you liked our post on Perfume last week, maybe you should check out this funky website for value perfumes Cheap Smells and add some designer aroma to your look.

Attention all chocolate lovers – tan lovers that is!

Monday, March 29th, 2010

fake-tan-2As you all know we have recently stocked the fabulous Xen Tan! With its gorgous olive tone, all of us at LA sure look like we have got off the plane from Barbados!

But for all those tan virgins who are still deciding on their favourite, I have tried out Rich Silken tinted self tan by ‘Vita Liberata’.

I don’t no about guys but I cant afford the days of drying scaly tan and nights of scrubbing to get it off before I do another layer in prep for my night out….

SO let me introduce you to ‘Rich Silken tinted self tan’ by ‘Vita Liberata’ It is so easy to apply!! its a rich chocolate cream, always exfoliate before you apply any tan! I have found the best way is with a tanning mitt. squgge a blob on to the mitt and rub gently on your dry clean fresh skin. it is streak free due to product being  infused with silk and organic extracts. By the time you have applied over your body the Tan is INSTANTLY DRY!  what I really love is the way it fades!!! fades evenly with out that snake skin appearance, and lets be honest there is nothing worse!  this delicious cream is odourless{ to a degree} the tan has been advertised that its “totally odourless” unfortunately this is the only thing that I disagree with, although the smell is slight and hasn’t to date destroyed my bed sheets!!!

What is your favourite tan?
