Irish brands that make ideal last minute gifts
Santa is almost here, and this is my last 2021 piece, so I wanted to dedicate it to three Irish brands. Two are relatively new and one is a well known veteran tanning brand who has recently upped their range with some decadent cosmetics.
Mistletoe kissing with Bellamianta
Give the gift of Bella Babe kissable lips this Christmas with three sexy, sultry shades, instantly elevating your makeup look and giving you the illusion of fuller lips, helping you achieve a juicy and irresistibly tempting pout.
