Emma Louise: RDS Dublin Makeup show

Hi Everyone,

So last week on Monday 9th March I travelled down to Dublin on the train to the RDS for the Irish Beauty Show. I had been looking forward to this for almost a month now and I must say it didn't disappoint. There was all type of beauty stands as far as you can see. I will put a list of exhibitors at the bottom of the post as well as what I bought.

There where nail stations everywhere to get your nails done at.

Jessica Stand

There was also teeth whitening stands I think there was maybe two or three of these.

Here is a list of the exhibitors and the floor plan from the Irish Beauty Shows webpage.

I saw lots of brands I've never heard of before and I thought I would include some of these in this blog to get the name out there as I though their product was really good.

The first one I'm going to mention is Ciara Daly. I have never heard of this brand however I have now been informed that its pretty popular. So Ciara Daly has in fact got a makeup school and a range of beauty products. I didn't actually purchase anything but my friends bought her 'hero brush' so I will ask them how they got on with that.

The next one is Crown Brushes although their webpage has makeup on it as well they only had brushes at the show I did buy some of these as they seemed to be really good quality, only time will tell. I have used them a few times now and haven't had any fall out the brushes themselves are a bit stiff but after giving them a wash with some conditioning shampoo and conditioner they seem ok, the brushes pick up product well and distribute well on the face.

Fuchsia Cosmetics is another one I had never heard of they sell makeup and makeup brushes. This stand was absolutely mental even trying to get in to see what they had was a nightmare it was so packed. The products seemed good quality and a good price.

Benefit also had a stand there with 10% of their products so I did buy two of their products the first is the Puff off eye cream which I am testing out at the minute, and the Porefessional this came in a duo with the Triple action face emulsion.

The last one I'm going to mention is OPI this is a big brand and I have heard of this one however I have to admit I've never actually bought any of the polishes but at the show price of €6.95 I didn't think I could go wrong (now I wish I had picked up some more of them) I really like this polish it goes on nice and you only need a maximum of two coats for a fully opaque colour.
