They say that diamonds are a girl's best friend, but I am here to tell you that the real winner of that title is Champagne. 

Cuvée Beauty is a new line of hair products, and their main ingredient is Champagne… because, DUH!

Rachel Katzman, the founder and CEO of Cuvée Beauty, was doused in Champagne at her 21st birthday, and noticed that her hair was "soft, shiny, and textured". 

 

On the sixth day of Chanukah, we ask for a box full of Cuvee. #cuveebeauty

So, naturally, she decided to use this knowledge to create an AMAZING hair product.

Cuvée Beauty offers its customers a wide range of Champagne-filled products, from shampoo to styling spray. 

Prices start at €30, which seems fairly reasonable, in our opinion. 

We SO need to try these products.

Now more than ever, women (and men) are embracing their insecurities, whether it be their size, hair colour or skin. 

This is a message we support 100%, and we find it so refreshing when people support eachother and spread messages of support. 

One lovely lady who is doing just that is MUA Bronya Humphreys, who suffers from facial eczema. 

Bronya's condition, which she was born with, took a turn for the worse after she gave birth to her ADORABLE daughter.

 

Here is a little side by side. I've been trying to be more confident regarding my skin, as it's so bad I currently struggle to leave the house I'm so embarrassed of my eczema. Thank you for all the kind comments I've received on my last post. I want to prove that you can be beautiful even without makeup. Skin condition and all. I love the way I look when I'm fully glammed, but that's only one side of me. The other side is someone who is a human; with human emotions and gets hurt just like any of you. I want to show you that both sides of me are beautiful, and both sides of you are beautiful too! You do you. Whether you want to wear makeup everyday, or like me you need to take time off to care for yourself and look after your skin. Whatever you do, do it with confidence:) #confidence #sidebyside #bareskin #natural #makeup

A post shared by The bald bee (@bronya_h) on

Despite the fact that she finds herself dealing with her eczema every day – she still focuses on what she loves. 

Makeup is Bronya's passion, and she is bloody good at it.

It would be easy enough for the mum-of-one to ditch the pursuit of makeup, due to the fact that it involves showing her skin off to the world. 

However, she perseveres, refusing to let her condition get the better of her. 

In a recent post on Instagram, Bronya spoke about her skin, and what it is like to live with such severe eczema:

'I have eczema. I have a skin condition. I have had so many hateful comments recently regarding how I look. When I wear makeup they say I'm fake. When I don't I'm a gross zombie. And can I just say, I am not my skin condition.'

She continued: 'I am a lovely, caring, beautiful human, and you don't deserve to even be on my page let alone be leaving awful comments on my pictures. All I want on my page is to promote self love. You are all fantastic.'

The talented MUA then reminded her 71,000 followers that they are all amazing, no matter what.

'You are all brilliant. Please. Please. Please. Ignore everyone who makes awful comments. YOU ARE AMAZING. Since I got a lot of followers I have had so many hateful comments. Just because I have a lot of followers doesn't mean I don't have feelings!'

'Basically what I'm trying to say is f**k anyone that shits on you. You are so much better than that. I love you all. Chin up. There's a lot of hate in this world but I'm there for you. Shoot me a message. I may take a while to get back to you but I'll be there for you.'

Now, that is a message we can get behind! Bronya, you are a KWEEN.

There is no situation that cannot be helped with the application of tan. Stepping into a glow of confidence when you feel a little bleak can do wonders for the mind. Think of it as a shield, transforming us from pasty to healthy, as we face our daily battles- straight up therapeutic. 

But there are certain issues that come with choosing the right tan. Is the post-tan break-out and skin irritation worth the happy glow? Is it safe to apply? Many of us have chosen to avoid items that put our furry friends in danger during production. A few days of feeling like a queen can come with consequences, so the careful selection of tan is a must and it can be hard to find a tan that ticks every box…

However, we reckon CatwalkHQ tan ticks all these boxes and more! SHEmazing is mad about this one gals, and we’ve come up with a few reasons why:

1. It's safe

Anyone whose body is under pressure will struggle to find a safe tan. CatwalkHQ tan is the perfect remedy, safe for pregnant women as well as anyone going through chemotherapy. Your body works on overdrive when it’s fighting obstacles or creating life. The temple of your being deserves a tantastic treat, at the very least!

2. Nature loves CatwalkHQ

We are becoming increasingly aware that our beauty products can have negative effects on the natural world. There seems to be no point in changing diet to benefit our furry friends without considering skin products. CatwalkHQ tan is vegan-friendly and can boast cruelty-free production! You can keep your tan-obsession with the comforting knowledge that the critters are considered!

3. The mitt has a thumb

You will not realise how much you need your thumb until you use a mitt that excludes this divisive digit. CatwalkHQ has taken manual anatomy on board, providing us with thumb function for access to those curves and crevices that shouldn't be ignored. The result? A more even-looking tan, natural and flawless!

4. It's skin-safe

In every house, there is someone who suffers from skin irritation. From eczema to psoriasis, tan can be an obstacle. The genius of CatwalkHQ has solved our tan-stacles by catering to those whose skin acts-up. With high levels of hyaluronic acid and a list of natural ingredients, this tan actually hydrates the skin and will not irritate dryness- a skin superfood!  

5. That Glow, tho

CatwalkHQ tan comes in two shades, medium and dark. Choose depending on your unique skin tone and the nature of the occasion! A night out with the girls could warrant a sunnier tone and a wedding may call for a classic glow.

6. It's quick-drying

Quick-dry factors can make all the difference in busy lives. This tan takes a minute to dry and 2-4 hours to develop. Layers of mousse can be applied when necessary, but the result is the same- no scales or patches, just a natural looking tan!

An innovative tan that looks fab, nourishes and ensures critter protection- too good to be true?! SHEmazing is in love with this all-rounder!

The latest launch from new cosmetics brand Madison Makeup is sure to quickly find a place in your makeup routine – the Contour Palette is designed and developed to feature every product you need to create a perfectly sculpted face in one package.

The Palette contains a combination of cream contour shades alongside a highlighter and blusher that will suit any skin tone. Recently in Dublin for an exclusive Madison Makeup shoot, Made in Chelsea’s Frankie Gaff’s fresh and flawless look was created by Pro MUA Sue Brophy.

 

Contour Goals with our @madisonmakeupirl Complete Contour Palette check out some more info over at www.madisonmakeup.ie 

A post shared by MadisonMakeUpIRL (@madisonmakeupirl) on

To get Frankie’s look, Sue suggests the following steps using the Madison Makeup Contour Palette:

STEP 1- On hydrated clean skin, buff a lightweight foundation into the skin

STEP 2 – Brush the brows into shape and lightly fill in with shade Neutral from the Madison Makeup Berry Bold Palette, set with a clear gel

STEP 3 -Using Contour colour 5 & a flat synthetic brush, mark out the areas you want to shade & define, and blend into the skin with a damp sponge

STEP 4 –Mix Contour colours 1 & 4 using a flat brush and paint on areas you wish to lift and highlight, before blending with a damp sponge

STEP 5 -Using fingers, pat the cream Highlighter shade onto tops of cheekbones, centre of nose & on the cupids bow

STEP 6 – Finish this sculpted, glowing skin look by adding a pop of the shade Blusher to the outer apples of the cheeks

STEP 7 –Lightly dust the T-Zone area with powder to reduce any shininess, especially important if you’re being photographed!

But wait… THERE'S MORE! 

Brand new for makeup lovers this winter is the Berry Bold Palette, 10 smooth and soft matte and shimmer eye shadows, alongside 4 glowing highlighter shades.

Create a flawless, dramatic look with these intense, high colour pay-off shades. Pro Makeup Artist Sue Brophy designed Frankie’s look with Berry Bold for her exclusive shoot and has shared her step-by-step guide to creating the look:

STEP 1 – Using a jet-black kohl pencil, tight line the top and bottom lash line and then using a small fluffy brush, blend this up onto the lids and lower lash-line bringing, it out into a feline shape. While the kohl is still tacky, place Scarlet all over lid then blend out using a clean, fluffy brush to follow the feline shape.

STEP 2 -Taking a small fluffy brush, blend Berry into the crease and under lower lash line to create a deep berry look.

STEP 3 – Add Velvet to the outer corners to create depth.

STEP 4 – Bring light to the inner corners of the eyes using Fifi and Mia from the highlighter shades.

STEP 5 – Finish the eye look with a slick of gel liner and lashes

And off you go, out on the town!

Kat Von D is changing the way we do our brows with the launch of not one, but three brand new products designed to let us get more creative with our beauty regimes.

While we often like to experiment with bold lipsticks and pigmented eyeshadows, our perfectly sculpted brows are the one part of our routine that remains unchanged, not matter what look we are going for.

After all, if it's not broken, don't fix it – right?

Well, yes and no.

Given the phenomenal success of Kat's beauty range to date, the new collection of brow pomades are sure to contain a bullet-proof formula – but it's the products 16 shades that really have people talking.

As well as offering an extensive variety of natural hair colours, the collection also includes a selection of rainbow colours including hot pink, deep red, and a vibrant yellow.

The Super Brow pigmented pomade will be released this spring alongside two other brow formulas, Brow Struck and Signature Brow.

The products are set to launch next spring, and while no exact date has been revealed, Kat has asked fans to keep an eye on Instagram for more updates.

Ladies, is there anything better than sitting back and relaxing with a glass of vino and a face mask? 

Pure bliss, if you ask me.

That is exactly why we are over the moon to announce that KISS NY Professional have launched two amazing sheet mask ranges in Ireland. 

The two ranges are highly nourishing, containing natural extracts to help regain skin softness and youthful impression – sounds good to us. 

These serum-infused natural fibre masks provide a healthy and moisturised skin – perfect for pampering yourself after a long week. 

There are two types of mask available: 100% Cotton Sheet Mask and Hydrogel Mask.

The 100% Cotton Sheet Mask range is infused with natural ingredients like charcoal, honey, green tea, coconut water and aloe (all good things, all good things). 

These K-beauty inspired sheet masks are also eco-friendly (which we love), with moist, soft feeling sheets that deliver rich moisture and nutrition to the skin. 

The masks are a handsome little bargain at just €2.95 a pop. 

The brand is also offering a range of Hydrogel Masks, that are concentrated with organic essential floral extracts, natural extracts and infused with aroma oils. 

These masks deliver organic essential oil nutrition including 100% of lavender, rosehip oil, charcoal and natural extracts which are suitable to all skin types. 

These masks mould perfectly to the skin with thing gel form that allows for complete absorption of the mask's maximum benefits.

You'll be happy to hear that both ranges of masks are dermatologically tested, paraben free and contain no artificial colouring.

They're available right now in pharmacies nationwide, and in Dunnes Stores and Penneys. 

Perfect stocking filler? We reckon so!
