I was honoured to have been invited to Matte to Metallic’s Launch Party for their online store for Makeup Revolution, Freedom Makeup and I Heart Makeup during the week and what an event it was!!! Loved every minute of it…huge congratulations to Jen and Ciara for hosting such a great event. It was on in House, Lower Leeson Street, Dublin, a stunning venue with incredible staff that couldn’t have done enough for the guests. And the food?!! The food was delicious, chicken skewers, pulled pork burgers, bruschetta, I was stuffed leaving! Will definitely be paying another visit when I’m back in Dublin.
Jennifer Donohoe and Ciara Clinton are the brains and beauties behind Matte to Metallic. Two best friends from Dublin, with a passion and skill for makeup, who run their own makeup academy in Dublin and won an award for “Best Blog” in Ireland this year. They were the first people I started following on snapchat, such genuine and lovely girls, a must follow…snapname => mattetometallic Facebook => Matte to Metallic Instagram => mattetometallic The girls are brand ambassadors for Makeup Revolution, Freedom Makeup and I Heart Makeup, here in Ireland, and the brand has being taking off ever since.

There is a huge range to choose from and each product is as amazing as the next but I’m going to pick my Top 5…
