Cocoa Brown The Goddess Collection In-Store Launch

I went along to the Cocoa Brown launch for The Goddess Collection on Tuesday. Last week tickets for the launch went online for free and included a goodie bag. It took place over in Dundrum in Penney's and I went over with my Mam and 3 sisters. I also got to meet the lovely Marissa Carter who is as lovely as she seem on her snapchat and the other ladies from Cocoa Brown who are all so friendly too. It was a really nice atmosphere and I even got a picture with Marissa. 

I had never used any of the goddess oils before even though I keep meaning to try one out, so off course I had to get the collection and give them all a go. I can see myself getting a bit addicted to these and walking around like a human disco ball but at least I'll be happy.

In Goddess collection was €13 for 3 30ml bottles, one of each of the shades which are Golden Goddess, Ice Goddess (the newest) and Rose Gold Goddess. I can imagine these being very handy for the christmas season and the even have that gorgeous smell as the other cocoa brown products.

When I registered for my ticket it said I'd get a goodie bag and oh my god was it and amazing goodie bag! In the goodie bag it contained Chocolate Whip Oil-Free body moisturiser 200ml, Kind Shampoo and Conditioner 200ml, Night and Day Tan 150ml can, tough stuff 75ml and last but not least 5oml tube of Bronzing Gel instant tan in matte. How amazing is this goodie bag I've used and loved some of these already but have yet to try the night and day tan and the bronzing gel so now I have no excuse and since my summer tan has completely disappeared now I can see them being tried out pretty soon. 

What I love most about all these are that I suffer from eczema and I can use them with out a problem. The Cocoa Brown tan was the first tan that I successfully used and didn't make my skin irritated or make the eczema stand out more. I recently started using the shampoo and conditioner when my hands started to break out again from the changing weather and it doesn't irritate them or sting at all which is fantastic most of the others I've used over the years usually have no fragrance and my hair doesn't last all that long between washes so I've already fallen in love with it and they are all pretty good price wise too and everywhere. If they were to bring out a shower gel I'd be over the moon!

Make up Gallery Pressed Powder and Matte Bronzer Review

During a recent trip over to Dealz I bought these two powders to try out. I haven't bought anything of this make before and usually wouldn't even notice them. When I was waling throught the shop browsing I noticed a few women around this makeup stand and being a little nosy I stopped to have a look. I first saw the smoothly does it pressed powder then the Good to glow matte bronzer. The fist thing I liked was the shades as I am very fair sometimes powders can be too dark for me and I usually stick to the same type every time. I though since they where only €1.49 each that they where a least worth a shot and if I didn't like them or they made me break out then at least I didn't waste all that much on them. 

Here is what I thought of them.

Make Up Gallery Smoothly does it pressed powder Natural Beige two.

First of all this is what it say's about itself. Super soft matte powder for a shine free finish. Contains vitamin E.

I tried this on on my skin to test the shade and it worked really well, it's a good match and is almost like translucent powder. It is as it says super soft my skin instantly felt really silky soft when I applied it. It goes on well and when I used t to set my concealer under my eyes it didn't cake or look chalky which is never a good look ever. My skin is very dry in parts so I usually use powders very sparingly to those parts but even when I did it looked good. I have used it a few times and it kept the shiny parts of my skin shine free and I didn't have to keep reapplying it all the time.

This is described as a super soft matte bronzer for a natural glow. Contains Vitamin E, UVA and UVB filters. 

Well firstly this is the first matte bronzer I have ever owned. I usually go for bronzer with a little sparkle in it but for a change I wanted to try a matte. I think it might have something to do with getting a matte lipgloss a while ago and now wanting to try everything matte lol. I love contouring and would usually use a bronzer for it everyday, not crazy over the top contouring but subtle day time sort of contouring. I applied this to under my cheekbones and my forehead and slightly down the sides of my nose. When I do this most days I use a cream contour that not too dark so that it doesn't stand out all that much. So for me I was hoping that this would work like that but also give me a little variety to what I usually use. I chose well with this I think. Because its really soft it goes on really well and blends in well too. It's not a dark shade but I would say that if I had of gone for a shade up it would have been. This colour suits me well and the finish is good. 

I notice that they had a lot more product o the smae stand has anyone tried any of them? If you have any suggestions what I could try next let me know.
