Gym Gear Inspiration

It’s that time of year again. Christmas is just around the corner and most of the country is on a slimming mission. I always find that some new gym gear keeps me motivated, find what works for you I suppose. There’s some great sportswear around at the moment though and it might be just the [...]

Vanilla Boutique Fermoy

In the past few years, lots of unique little boutiques have sprung up in towns across Ireland. They stock some one-off pieces that you can’t get anywhere else and it’s great to support local businesses as opposed to buying everything online. One of my favourite Cork boutiques is Vanilla in Fermoy. They always have chic [...]

Testiominals

Word of advice to all brides in Cork: Book Caroline!! She is amazing! I am very particular about my make-up and hate looking like I spent all day putting it on. I wanted a fresh, simple, pretty look, and for my eyes to pop in the pictures. Caroline took great care both during the trial and on the wedding day to listen to exactly what I wanted and get my make-up perfect. She made a number of suggestions that I wouldn't have even considered, and I LOVED the result! She came to the house, on time, and since I had a large bridal party, brought help to ensure everything ran smoothly- which it did! I was sorry to say goodbye to her before I went to the church! Her price is uncharacteristically reasonable for the amazing service she provides. She is fun, kind, and amazingly talented. I would recommend booking her well in advance, as she is very popular.

Kelly

Caroline was so good that my mother and my bridesmaid both used her after me for their weddings! She took great care to do trials and ensure I was happy. She even went to the trouble of teaching a BM to grow out her eye brows and shaped them for her. My make-up was timeless, flawless and photographed beautifully. I also loved that she came to our house. Would recommend her to any bride or woman with a big occasion.

Wendy

Caroline Thank you so much for doing my make-up for the premier in Cork “The Wind That Shakes the Barley” and family wedding.”You are so professional and amazing what you do.

Orla Fitzgerald, Actress

Caroline thank you so much for making me so beautiful on my wedding day and for staying on after church to do touch ups.

Claire Mullins, Limerick

I loved the make-up you did. I felt very much like a better version of myself, which is how everyone wants to feel on their wedding day.

Aisling, Cork

Caroline is my all time favourite make-up artist. I try to keep her top secret, but she’s too good and I keep telling people about her
