Wow Brown Review

Wow Brown Tan is an a irish set up and run company, created by two former beautician's Donna Ledwidge & Frances Brennan.


As a beauty therapist and beauty junkie I have always found it hard to find a nice tan product that applies well, is long lasting, easy removed and does not smell like chip shop curry!!!
Well guess what ladies, WoW Brown ticks all the right boxes....

I myself have been using wow brown products since my beauty college days, via the professional spray tan solution. And today 5years later I can put my hand up and say I have not used another tan solution since.

When it comes to retail products with wow brown everything down to packaging is so eye catching and fabulous.
Currently there are two different formula types:
       Cream/Lotion DIY
                     &
       Liquid. READY TO GLO

  • Two Shades
  • Streak Free
  • Lasts up to 10 days
  • Smells Fab
                                                                          €21.99




Wow Brown can be purchased online on their website @ http://www.wowbrown.com
Ships within Ireland & International Shipping is also available

Tips For Applying WoW Brown


1. Begin Lightly exfoliating about a week prior to applying tan as this will give the chance to remove       dead dry skin cells and be able to moisture well enough that the tan will sit correct on the skin.

2. DO NOT apply moisturiser 24hours prior to applying tan as this will create a barrier on the surface of the skin.

3. Always apply tan with a soft fluffy clean tan mitt.
And use mitt in circular motions when  applying

4. Ensure to wear light cotton clothing after application that means no bra or tight underwear where possible.

5. If you wake in the morning and think you look like terracotta paint don't panic, the tan has developed and the surface layer is to be washed down 8hours after application. The colour of tan will then settle and you will be beautifully golden brown.

6. While shower do not scrub too roughly as you will remove too much and your efforts of applying will be pointless... And we definitely do not need that dilemma!!

7. Pat dry after showering - DO NOT rub skin with towel....

8. Apply a non scented moisturiser lightly over skin to give a beautiful glow

9. Regularly moisture to prevent flaky patches this will also ensure you get long lasting results from your tan

10. Enjoy...... 💛

Urban Decay Vice 2 Palette Review.....

Vice 2

So I purchased the Vice 2 palette approx 3months ago, and I have loved it everyday since.
Here in Ireland the Vice 2 retails at 49€ at most ud counters/stands based in debenhams.
Seems a bit pricey at first thought, but the vice 2 includes 20 new & exclusive shades. And plus individual UD shades go for 18€ Each so you are saving quite a bit if you opt for a palette.

The Packaging

Although fairly different from the first edition of the Vice collection, Urban Decay have really stepped it up with the second.
A fabulous marble effect solid purple case, with the 'ud' in jewel effect on top, easy press button to open the palette and a generously large mirror on the inner of palette really make this value for money.









Eye shadows

As mentioned above the UD palette contains 20 eyeshadows, most of which have shimmer, and only a couple are completely matte shades.
All shades have a fantastic colour payoff, are all very well pigmented and are easy applied and blended.
My own personal favourites are VooDoo which is a beautiful deep purple & Ambush, a shimmery brown shade, perfect for a brown smokey eye look on outer lid.
Here is a little peak at what the shades look like:




Overall I think this is a fantastic palette and would definitely recommend to everyone, between number of shades, packaging and colours it's worth the 49€ in my own opinion.
I hope you all enjoyed this review because contact me if you have any queries
Thanks xXx
