Our Beauty Blogger of the Week is the lovely Sinéad Healy from This Life Diary. Sinéad, who hails from the west of Ireland, set up her blog as a way to kickstart her career in writing and journalism. This Life Diary offers great mix of beauty, style and life advice – we’re big fans!

We got chatting to Sinéad about some of her beauty secrets – read on!

1. What is your best budget beauty buy?
For me it would have to be ANY Catrice product. A very broad answer I know but their foundation is something I swear by and I am in love with their mascaras! The brand is affordable, great quality and perfect for young girls starting out a make-up collection as well as a favourite among those with a wide collection of high brand make up.

2. What is your top make-up tip?
It's a fairly boring answer and quite obvious: give your face a break from make up a few times a week. If that only means taking your make-up off several hours before going to bed every day, then let that be it, your skin needs a chance to breathe. Oh and water, drink ALL OF THE WATER!

3. Most girls have a much loved lipstick – what's yours?
Any of the Kate Moss Rimmel lipsticks. 01 and 107 are my all time favourites. 

4. What was your first perfume and what are you currently wearing?
Lacoste Pink was my first perfume if I remember correctly. Living in a house full of girls means there are no shortage of perfumes, but recently I have been taking to wearing the Paris brand from River Island, at just €17 a bottle it's a perfect everyday scent. For on-the-go, a roll-on version is perfect to pop in your hand bag at just €5.

5. You're only allowed to use three make-up products for the rest of your life – what are they?
A Catrice Eyebrow pencil – without one I would be expressionless as my eyebrows are extremely light. Secondly, Catrice Glamour Doll mascara which is hands down the best mascara I have used in a VERY long time. The last would be Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation. I had a love-hate relationship with this foundation for a very long time but I have grown to love it as it has great coverage and contains an SPF. 

Some great recommendations there!

Our Beauty Blogger of the Week is the amazing Lauren Arthurs, creator of Love Lauren. 

This Cork native has recently moved back to Ireland after a stint in London.

Lauren started blogging in January 2013 as a hobby, but her site has since blossomed into something much bigger. As well as insights into her life, style and beauty routine, the blog also features an online boutique and an area for readers to sell their own pre-loved clothes and accessories. Very impressive!

We caught up with Lauren to get some of her beauty secrets…

1. What is your best budget beauty buy?
My best budget buy is definitely the Mua ‘stick’ concealer. I think it costs around €2 and comes in 3 different shades. It's so fab for covering up those bags. 

2. What is your top make-up tip?
Apply your foundation almost instantly after applying your moisturiser. That way, your face is still dewy and your make-up spreads much more evenly.

3. Most girls have a much-loved lipstick – what's yours?
Hmmm, that's a tough question as lipstick is my favourite make-up product and I use so many different colours and brands – but my favourites would have to be Nyx 561 'Violet Ray' & 'Red 01' from Kate Moss' line for Rimmel.

4. What was your very first perfume and what are you currently wearing?
My first perfume was Escada 'Paradise' which is really lovely but it's more of a sweet summer smell. Now I wear Dolce & Gabbana 'Light Blue' which is such a gorgeous fresh smell. I love it! 

5. You're only allowed to use three make-up products for the rest of your life… what are they?
Face moisturiser, mascara and Vaseline! I’m not a person to wear too much make-up but I feel naked without mascara! I think most girls do.

Our beauty blog pick for this week is Willow Lane, created by Belfast lady Ruth Maguire.

We love the great mix of beauty, style, interiors, food and travel pieces on the site – and there's some gorgeous photography to boot. 

Willow Lane has just been named as a finalist for this year's Blog Awards Ireland, in the Lifestyle category… we'll have our fingers crossed!

We chatted with Ruth about her top beauty tips – from her foolproof budget buys to her luxury favourites. Check out what she had to say…

1. What is your best budget beauty buy?
Maxfactor Mastertouch Concealer. I use this for under-eye coverage and to correct uneven skin tone around the nose and chin. It's also great for covering up blemishes.

2. What is your top make-up tip?
I love products that are multi-purpose and I always think it's worth carrying a small tub of Vaseline in your handbag. I love to use Vaseline, not just on my dry lips but over my lipstick for extra gloss and moisturisation. I also use it to highlight my cheekbones and give a fresh dewy look. I even use a little on my unruly brows to keep them in place and looking glossy.

3. Most girls have much-loved lipstick – what's yours?
I’m afraid I am very fickle and don’t have a favourite shade of lipstick but I do love a good moisturising lipstick. I think the Clinique and Liz Earle lippies are great quality options that don't dry out your lips. I also love the Maybelline SuperStay lipsticks and have them in about six or seven different colours. There are two parts to these lipsticks – the colour wand and the glossy conditioning balm. These are great to use when you know you're going to have a busy day and won't have the time to touch up your lip colour.

4. What was your very first perfume and what are you currently wearing?
My first perfume was Live by J.Lo.  It’s still on sale – I smelled it recently in Boots and memories of my university partying days came flooding back! This year I’ve been wearing Dolce and Gabbana Pour Femme. I bought my mother-in-law the perfume first and fell in love with the scent, which has top notes of of mandarin orange, raspberry and neroli.

5. You're only allowed to use three make-up products for the rest of your life – what are they?
A good quality nude coloured lipstick, my Maxfactor Concealer, and a rosy pink blusher for my cheeks! If I have to pop out quickly on a lazy weekend then these are the three products I'll use to make myself look a bit more presentable!
