On Saturday I celebrated my birthday! It was so nice to have my birthday fall on a weekend day and it was made especially nicer when I was offered a Youngblood Mineral Cosmetics Makeover in Matt O’Flaherty Chemists that day. This was  a fantastic birthday treat and I was really looking forward to it!

Youngblood Mineral Cosmetics are a relatively new cosmetics brand in Ireland and I had not tried any of their products previously. Patrycja Rusiecka Make-Up Artist explained the background to the brand and the benefits of using mineral based cosmetics which I found very interesting. As my skin has been quite temperamental recently and I have been getting some dry areas she recommended some of the products which were suitable for my skin type. I absolutely loved the makeover and cannot speak highly enough of the whole experience. This is the most dramatic look I have gone for and was perfect for my birthday party night. I was very impressed with the range of products available from Youngblood and was tempted to splash out on everything Patrycja used to create the look! I somehow resisted this urge but I will definitely be taking a trip back to Matt O’Flaherty’s next weekend to pick up one or two of the products I was particularly impressed with. The Brow Artiste kit is on my wishlist and at only €35 is excellent value.

Youngblood Cosmetics are available in a number of pharmacies in Ireland which you can check out HERE. If you are in Galway this week I would recommend popping along to Matt O’Flaherty’s Girls Night Out Make-Up Workshop on Thursday. Read all the details and book your place HERE.
