Irish Beauty Show 2015

Last Sunday I went to the Irish Beauty Show in the RDS, it’s a beauty junkies dream. This year however was so busy; we had to queue about 5 minutes to get in which wasn’t too bad but last year I just strolled right on in. Once inside it was a little overwhelming. There where people everywhere and so much to see that it was hard to know where to start.

I didn’t have much of a plan going in and didn’t know what I wanted to buy, coupled with the crowds resulted in not buying much at all.

I tried to get to the Crown Brush and Blank Canvas stands but there was no way of getting near them at all. Other than those stands I just ended up browsing. I wanted to try some things from Paese so I picked up some shadows which were really affordable. I then queued up for the CND stand to get some Vinylux polish. I could have done a lot worse but I ended up buying about 10 polishes!

 

I haven’t tried the Paese shadows yet but from just swatching them I’m really impressed, I wish had bought more.

 

The CND stand was a bit mental; you were given a brochure to tick of which colours you wanted while you were in the queue and then where given a ticket to collect your purchases.

I only copped it after leaving that I was given a Shellac polish instead of the cuticle remover. I have no idea what to do with it, I’ll have to buy a shellac base coat and top coat and borrow my friend’s lamp if I want to use it.

All in all I wasn’t overly impressed with the day. A lot of the stands where repetitive and it was so busy that there was no way of being able to have a proper look at everything.
