I thought that I would have this up a little quicker than I have. Sorry for the delay! Here's Part 2, Yay!
I have really been getting into the whole lipstick vibe that has been going on for the past while. This is my all time favourite lipstick. It is called 'Peaches and Cream' from Sleek makeup. It is a gorgeous peachy/orange colour that isn't too in your face. It is the perfect colour for Spring/Summer. It is a lovely moisturizing lipstick and doesn't leave your lips feeling dry and horrible. I love Sleek makeup and have a few products from them including a deadly eyeshadow palette. Unfortunately they are also not in Ireland but you can buy from Sleekmakeup.com and pay a slight postage fee or you can get a lot of products on Amazon too with free delivery. I think I bought this for around €6 on the Sleek website.

I am crazy about eye makeup. I think that eye makeup can really show off your artistic abilities. You can do so much with it and of course the eyes are windows to the soul so why not make them look extra gorgeous! Most of my makeup collection consists of eye makeup so trying to choose a few faves is difficult for me. I have to say though tall time favourite eye makeup is from Urban Decay. Urban Decay can be expensive but it is definitely worth it! I usually buy Urban Decay from Debenhams but you can check out their website too. I have a the Deluxe palette and the two Vice palettes. I never got into the Naked palettes too much because I prefer a lot of colour. I would love the Naked 3 palette though, It's fab! Urban Decay eye makeup is phenomenal! The shadows glide on the eye and are long lasting. You can get a lot of fall out with these shadows because a lot of them have chunks of glitter. That doesn't bother me at all. I usually do my eyemakeup first when using Urban Decay and then move onto my face makeup. Also, if you add a little drop of water to your brush with these shadows it makes them seriously POP even more. Love love LOVE Urban Decay!!!!

This is the i-divine original palette from Sleek makeup. It is gorgeous!! There are loads of these i-divine palettes. I think there's something like 16 in total and they literally have every colour and every shadow type that you could need. The consistency of these shadows are lovely, they're almost creamy and just glide on the eye. The colour pay off is seriously intense. AND, they're pretty cheap too. I bought mine for about £5 when I was in London but you can but from Sleekmakeup.com too. Definitely try buy from Amazon for sleek makeup, you can get some items a lot cheaper. I'll link some other sleek palettes on Amazon. This palette is amazing, I really hope Sleek come to Ireland very soon!

I am a liquid eyeliner type of girl. I have gel eyeliners but I just find them a bit of a hassle. I find it easier to work with liquid and it's quicker to use. I found this liquid eyeliner in Penneys a while ago. It was €1.50 and I LOVE IT! Seriously, it's actually brilliant. I know you're probably thinking 'what do Penneys know about makeup?' you just have to trust me on this one. It's really good and very affordable. It is long lasting and a nice dark black. I'm pretty sure you can get this in a few different colours too! Next time you're in Penneys check it out and let me know what you think!
Sorry about the pretty crappy picture......awkward! So I used to be on stage a lot and obviously stage makeup is pretty intense so I always wore fake eyelashes and I HATED them! I hated putting them on, I felt I looked like I looked like a drag queen and taking them off felt like someone was pulling my eyelid off! Due to this, on nights out I never wore fake eyelashes and then randomly I went a bit wild and decided to give them a go. The first few times I applied them were horrific but I slowly got used to them and built up my own technique to apply them. Anyway, I started shopping around for different types and found these in Penneys. They are the Imagination lashes and they come in a pack of 5. I think I bought these for €8 at the time which is pretty good. I love these lashes. You get 5 different looks and there's something to suit any occasion. You can reuse these lashes too, you just have to be gentle with them. I think I got at least 8 uses out of one pair which is really good considering how cheap they are.
I was watching Shaaanxo (fabulous beauty guru) on youtube and she has the most amazing long eyelashes. She uses Revitalash serum on them and they grow like crazy. Due to wearing fake eyelashes a lot now, I noticed some of my eyelashes falling out more regularly so I wanted to try a serum to help them grow. The revitalash that Shaaanxo uses is pretty expensive so I decided to look around for something similar but more affordable. I found this serum on Amazon. It is a 3in1 serum that contains; eyelash replenishing serum, a lash growth activator and mascara base. I was VERY sceptical of this product but it really does work. I put it on a night and can really can see the difference in lash length in the morning. I use it as a mascara primer too and it makes your eyelashes a little bit hard but when you put mascara over it, it's like BOOM...crazy long eyelashes! It is amazing, I love it. Definitely obsessed with it and need it in my makeup bag.

I have fallen in love with highlighters. This is 'girl meets pearl' from Benefit cosmetics. I got this about 3 years ago in a little set for my Birthday and I still have it. You can't really see from this picture but this is a tiny little tube and it's still going strong. A little bit of this stuff goes a long way. It makes your skin glow and is gorgeous under the brow bone. Check out Debenhams for benefit cosmetics. I know they have other newer amazing highlighters but this is my favourite.
So that's my favourite beauty items completed. Trying to squeeze a few items into these posts was very hard for me but I'm delighted with what I chose to share with you all. I hope you enjoyed reading and you all better let me know what you think of these items if you try them out.
Happy Pancake Tuesday too.....NOM!
