Huda Kattan is rarely seen without her iconic, black-winged eyeliner.

The makeup artist pulled off the winged look to perfection, so it was only a matter of time before her followers requested that she developed her own product for her fans, and she delivered.

Waterproof, smudge-proof and long-lasting, Huda Beauty’s first eyeliner 'Life Liner' is launching this Thursday, September 12. You can bet it'll be the blackest and mattest on the market.

Life Liner is part liquid, part pencil and 100 percent Huda-approved. The product stays put for 48-hours straight, and was designed to create a huge range of looks with one makeup tool.

Huda and her team have created numerous videos to celebrate the launch of Life Liner, transforming into the most iconic eyeliner wearers of all time; Audrey Hepburn, Cleopatra and Brigitte Bardot.

Eyeliner has been a part of Huda’s signature everyday look for years, so we trust her to come up with the best product on the market for her social followers. In Huda We Trust;

Life Liner took the beauty guru and her team roughly three years to perfect, which means that both time and love have gone into the creation.

Combining high molecular weight silicones and silicone resins, Huda Beauty's team were able to create an elastic-like texture that prevents cracking, smudging or fading during wear.

The formula’s unique ingredients work together to create a lightweight film that protects the formula once it’s applied giving it the power to last for 48 hours.

Huda was adamant about the cut of the brush, so her customers could create their perfect winged look without the line becoming too thick or clumpy. We love a gal who knows what she wants.

Huda Beauty's Pencil Liner in Very Vanta is also set to launch, with a staying power of up to eight hours.

The unique pencil tip contains a blend of silicon resins and other unique ingredients that delivers extensive wear and smudge-proof colour.

The pencil liner is designed with a propel system, so you'll never have to worry about sharpening your liner again. Halleluijah to that, we say.

With liquid at the forefront of every bold look, the pencil liner was created to be used on the water and lash line to further intensify and dramatise. 

Considering all of the gorgeous eyeliner you'll no doubt be wearing, Huda Beauty also created the ideal remover to ensure a smooth removal process.

The Huda Beauty team discovered a gentle but powerful formula that quickly became the perfect partner for our long-lasting Life Liner.

The new Makeup Remover Balm has a transformational formula that takes it from a balm to an oil and finally to a milky texture upon melting with the skin to dissolve dirt, grime and makeup. 

Containing Cherry Blossom extract, the gentle makeup remover leaves the skin feeling soft and conditioned. Three new products, three new soon-to-be cult beauty goodies. Thank Goddess for Huda.

The Huda Beauty Life Liner is launching on Thursday, September 12, and will be available online and in retailers from €24.60 (£22).

Beauty journalist and Instagram influencer Sali Hughes knows a thing or two about makeup and skincare products.

With her huge following and her years of experience as columnist, she has tried and tested more beauty products that you could dream of. 

That's why when we got lucky enough to ask the expert a few questions, we had to know which products she thinks we should invest in and which ones don't deserve a splurge.

So, high-end or high street?

For moisturiser, cleanser and makeup remover, she says either is fine.

For bronzer, Sali thinks both work well as long as you choose a mat one. 

When it comes to foundation, she definitely recommends going high end. "Foundation takes us the biggest amount of real estate on your face. As you wear it all day, a cheap foundation can go very wrong and I have rarely met a cheap foundation I liked so it's better to invest there."

For mascara, the expert happens to use high-end products (her favourite is Clinique mascara) but she wouldn't think twice about using a cheaper one. 

For eyeshadows and lipsticks, she believes you tend to get more pigments and more blendability in high-end products.

"There are exceptions, she says, but if you want the pigments to show up, it's normally best investing. If you want a whisper of colour like for bronzer and blusher, you can use cheaper ones".

As for the biggest mistake she sees women make when it comes to beauty, using the wrong colour foundation is by far number one. "The job of your foundation is not to darken your skin! Use a foundation that matches your skin and if you want to look tanned, bring the tan with a bronzer".

Christmas shopping can be a bit of a nightmare. There's the stress of not knowing what to buy for someone really special, like your Mum, brother or best friend, combined with the horrendous, hectic panic that seems to engulf the high street from December 1st onwards. 

If only there was an immaculately laid out, aesthetically pleasing festive shopping paradise in existence, where all of our favourite high end brands were available in a relaxed, boutique setting.

Fantasize no more, as Brown Thomas is bringing this shopping aspiration to life this festive season. 

The Marvel Room is now open in the Brown Thomas on Grafton Street, a dedicated showcase of whimsical and luxurious gifts for those we love the most. 

Prestigious jewellery brand Tiffany & Co are on hand in the Marvel Room to enrapture jewellery lovers with their latest collection, Paper Flowers, and to share their range of jewellery and home accessories.

Christmas has arrived…in August. (And no, we are not messing).

Most of us enjoy the holiday season and all the nostalgic memories it brings with it.

We can practically smell the spiced candles, taste the savoury stuffing, and feel the warmth of a hot chocolate enclosed in our icy fingers.

But how soon is too soon for us to anticipate the joy of Christmas time?

There have been whispers of Christmas trees circling around the country as customers share photos of holiday decorations popping up in stores.

In particular, Brown Thomas has been the buzz on social media due to their bountiful baskets of ornaments and shelves of silver reindeer.

Now, it seems the rumours have been confirmed, ensuring the holiday season is upon us earlier than we expected.

Brown Thomas fashion director Shelly Corkery announced on Instagram that the Christmas shop will open tomorrow, August 16th.

 

Christmas shop !!!! @officialbrownthomas …. Open tomorrow …

A post shared by Shelly Corkery (@shelly.corkery) on

Comments so far have shown mixed feelings about the early opening, with some people feeling over the moon and some expressing their annoyance.

However, the mid-August Christmas debut is not a new policy for Brown Thomas.

In fact, the store has regularly opened near summer’s end. So, they must be getting enough pre-holiday season shoppers to keep up the tradition.

According to Lovin Dublin, the store’s Managing Director, Stephen Sealey, said that the premature decorations were “really popular” with customers.

“A lot of people like to get organised early – from interior designers sourcing special pieces to tourists looking to bring home something extraordinary – it satisfies customer demand.”

So, whether you are on board or not, Christmas in the air!

Head down to Brown Thomas to get an early start on your holiday decorating.

From plastic table cloths to dusty deck chairs, it's safe to say that Irish barbecues aren't exactly the most sophisticated of shindigs. 

Don't get us wrong – we love a good sausage sambo as much as the next girl, but it doesn't take a member of the Royal family to see that our garden parties are lacking a certain je ne sais quoi. 

But not to worry, because we've found just the thing to glam up you summer soirée – Moët Mini Share Packs. 

Available at Brown Thomas, the champagne share packs include six individual bottles of Moët Imperial Brut each holding 200ml of golden bubbles. 

What's more, the adorable mini bottles also come with attachable golden flute toppers to make sipping from the mini bottles a perfectly elegant affair. 

For a limited time only you can pick up these bad boys in Brown Thomas, Dublin, Cork and Limerick for €130 and just like Moët & Chandon bring sparkle and glamour to any celebration or special occasion. 

Cheers to that!
