If you can’t make it to Dundrum on Saturday why not check out the new The Body Shop Ireland channel on YouTube, full of top tips from The Body Shop’s International Make Up Artist, Karim Sattar. Below is the Smokey Eye look using their New Baked Eye Colour in Jade.
The new range is fantastic, all you need for the perfect Summer look. I was sent the following items before the night to try out.
Big & Curvy Mascara - I love it, I love the brush, it perfectly defines my lashes however I get a very chemical odour from it… it fades once the mascara dries but it is my one negative about the product. Priced at €15.40 it is very much between the luxury comestic brands and the cheaper chemist brands. I would definitely recommend trying it out
Love Gloss - Not my usual shade of choice but a lovely lip gloss, not too sticky, easy application with the heart shaped applicator. Karim Sattar suggests the “boyfriend” lip look… swipe the applicator messily over the lips, rub them together, maybe a little out of the natural lip line… nothing too precise, well priced at €13.95
Italian Baked-to-Last Eye Colour - €14.00 - a little more expensive than my Mac refills for my palette but they are fantastic. My shade is 01 Copper, a shade I that will go with everything however I am really after 03 Jade. I like wearing green eyeshadow brings out the hazel in my eyes & the two tone green is amazing. Also the price seems right as you get two shades, can be worn both wet & dry
Italian Baked-to-Last Bronze - €20.00 - by far my FAVOURITE item of the Summer range. I am using 01 Golden Glow which is the darker shade of the range. The bronzers are baked for 48 hours in an oven, no two compacts will be the same. The shimmer finish & pigmentation is just perfect for me. Karim also taught me tricks for the application, I am using my Sonia Kashuk Large Contoured/Angled Blush Brush & I find my cheek bones are being to stand out more… Thank you, thank you Karim I will be replacing my staple Benefit Hoola bronzer (€36) with this no question
After our sessions in the hot seat with Karim we were brought to have professional photos taken.
My sister, Mia, & I had some giggle posing, I don’t think we’ll be taking to the catwalk anytime soon but here’s a few photos from what was a fantastic event.

Me & my fav bronzer
Have you tried the new collection? What do you think?
I am very excited to tell you tomorrow night I am lucky enough to be invited to The Body Shop - Passport to Gorgeous Launch.
I am very excited as one of twelve special guests, I will be having a full makeover by none other than International Make Up Artist, Karim Sattar, followed by professional photographs of my “makeover” which will appear on the The Body Shops Facebook page and then fans will select one lucky person’s photo to appear in the window of the Grafton Street store!
I am bringing my sister, Mia, and hopefully I will have a few photos to share with you guys.
Karim Sattar will be showcasing the new collection in the Grafton Street store on Saturday May 1st from 12.00 - 18.00 and Dundrum Sunday May 2nd from 13.00 - 18.00. There will also be 20% off the range in store.
The Passport to Gorgeous is a fabulous new range of cosmetics including the Big and Curvy Mascara.
I have been using the Big and Curvy Mascara for the past two days and I already love it. Well, firstly, the packaging is pink which immediately caught my attention The brush wouldn’t be my usual choice, very different from my fav L’oreal Voluminous but it’s so good. My lashes are properly defined & separated. Application is surprisingly simple with very little residue on my eyelid. I even wore only my Big and Curvy mascara to work today, quite unusal for me but it really looks great! Woo!
*please excuse my overgrown brows, appointment booked for tomorrow in the lovely Vanity Rooms!
I am also trying out the new bronzer (amazing), lipgloss & eyeshadow so expect reviews over the next few weeks.
I will also be running a competition to win 3 Big and Curvy Mascara’s so stay tunned!
The Body Shop sent me an email that caught my attention that’s for sure, their press release for Dreamy Pillow & Body Mist.
Deep Sleep, Dreamy Pillow & Body Mist
Deep Sleep Dreamy Pillow & Body Mist, which encourages restful sleep.
A quick-drying mist-spray, Deep Sleep Dreamy Pillow & Body Mist contains a soothing concoction of camomile, jujube date, geranium, juniper and patchouli essential oils. Applied to the pillow or body, the mist employs special encapsulation technology that allows bursts of active fragrance to be released throughout the night to aid more fulfilling sleep.
Developed over several years, Deep Sleep Dreamy Pillow & Body Mist was tested by people who suffer from sleep deprivation, aiding our understanding of the issue. The research suggested that the Deep Sleep Dreamy Pillow & Body Mist has helped even the worst insomniacs enjoy a blissful night of undisturbed sleep. And while our Sleep Survey revealed that tossing and turning all night long is the most frustrating aspect of being kept awake, this can actually enhance the product’s performance when it’s sprayed on pillows and sheets, as moving around on the bed helps release the bursts of active fragrance.
Our Community Trade camomile essential oil from Norfolk, England, is supplied by our expert Community Trade suppliers Norfolk Essential Oils. We use their high quality oil throughout our Deep Sleep Wellbeing range.
With one sold every minute Deep Sleep Dreamy Pillow & Body Mist is proving a big hit in bedrooms all round the world.
Luckily, I don’t have trouble sleeping however as Mummy Kutner does she decided to try the new product, so here she is making her review debut!
My daughter Lee asked me to try out the new Deep Sleep Dreamy Pillow and Body Mist as I have trouble sleeping.
I found it had a lovely smell and I did find it helped me to relax before I went to sleep.
It was very pleasant to use and I would recommend anyone with trouble sleeping to give it a try.
