June 22, 2016June 22, 2016melissaclarkemakeup

I had the pleasure of doing Jayme’s bridal party on her wedding day which took place on the 7th May 2015 at Mount Wolseley Hotel. I went to school with Jayme since I was 4 so it made the day a bit more special. The entire day was perfect from start to finish.

The Stunning bridesmaids were in full spirit that morning enjoying a glass of bubbly and I enjoyed one myself LOL. It was such a relaxed morning.

The kids Millie and Michael kept us entertained. Millie was more excited than Jayme on the day. They are the cutest kids ever.

Flawless glowing makeup on bridesmaids Tracy, deva and head bridesmaid Nicole. I designed each of the Makeup looks to suit each bridesmaid Individually.

The weather was not as expected that morning but that did not stop everyone enjoying the day. Every bride wishes for a sunny day and the weather is out of our control lets face it we live in Ireland ha. Tips for Brides try not to stress about the weather just be prepared and on a positive note umbrellas make lovely pictures LOL.

Wow Brown Defintely Has The Wow Factor

April 25, 2016melissaclarkemakeup

Most of us girls and men of course like to be sun kissed and bronzed. Why not, Not only does tan make us look like a million dollars, it gives us confidence and a feeling of positivity about ourselves.

I have been on the hunt for The perfect Tan. I have tried Mousse, lotion, creams and oils.I have found some good products but Wow Brown is Just Wow.

I was over the Moon when I received Wow brown Tan ,it arrived just in time as I had an event that weekend. I had two options of wow brown tan to choose from DIY medium/dark lotion or Ready to glo dark tanning liquid. I decided to try the medium to dark lotion and here is how it went.

The texture:

The tan is a coloured lotion which makes it very easy to see the application on the body. The consistency of The tan is a thick liquid. It spreads very well over the body and allows you time to blend into the skin.

Drying time:

It Dries fully within 15-20minutes.

Smell:

I detest smelly tans and I was delighted that wow brown had minimal tan smell during and after application

Lasting time:

The Tan lasted me about 1 week and it wore off gradually after the week, this was the most impressive aspect of the tan, it wore off non patchy and didn’t have a dirty appearance.

Overall rating – 9\10

I was very impressed overall with Wow brown tan. I absolutely loved the colour, I had so many complements on it. I was also really impressed that I had no tan transfer onto my clothes as I find sometimes even after washing off tan this can still happen which bugs me. It wore off 100% which was a massive plus for me . It has been my favourite tan to date.

Enhance your eyes with Baby Doll lashes

February 16, 2016February 16, 2016melissaclarkemakeup

Lashes are a must have in my kit when creating makeup looks. They can intensify the eye makeup and can give the illusion of a bigger eye shape. Lashes come in different lengths, thickness and styles. I have always found it difficult to find the perfect lashes, the brands would lack in a selection of styles or the band of the lash strip were too thick and are difficult to apply to the eyes.

I Have finally found the most spectacular lashes. Baby Doll Cosmetics are an Irish company who launched in 2013 at the RDS. They have a wide range of lashes in different lengths and thickness to suit all individuals. I have been using BAbydoll lashes for about a year now and I still love them as much as day one., the quality of the lashes are amazing they are lightweight and easy to apply.

The lashes

My favourite are the 870 lashes, they are an average length with a demi wispy effect. The lashes are natural but yet still achieves fullness of the eye.

If you prefer more length and minimum thickness the 795 are the ones for you. I get asked so many times, what lashes i’m wearing when wearing these beauties, the 795 they are light enough for daytime use. They are perfect if you naturally have thick lashes but need to add that extra length.

If you like the full dramatic look the 807 are your dream lashes, they have amazing fullness and are super dark, perfect to add definition to the eyes. Great lashes for party nights out perfect for a bold make up look.

You can purchase The lashes at http://www.babydoll.ie/ , hurry up and show off them lashes girls. There is also new lashes just been added to the Babydoll family 704 and 711 super excited to try them. I am wearing 870 lashes in this makeup look.

Flutter them lashes
