Viva Adonis is the brainchild of beauty maniacs Dee and Sinéad. We are two twenty-something-year-old students from Dublin, Ireland who have an unhealthy passion for all things beauty, whether that be fashion, make-up, skincare or otherwise. We always share our latest finds, must haves, must avoids and Holy Grail products with each other and we figured that there was no reason why we shouldn't share them with the rest of the world too!

Inglot Obsession

So...I did it again. We all know that I have a bit of an issue with Inglot, almost rivalling Sinéads MAC fetish! Since the Jervis branch opened, Ive built up quite the Inglot collection, from blush t...

Back-Ups Box

I always wonder at those people on YouTube who have a drawer full of back-up products; their favourite lipgloss, limited edition liners, the works. What kind of money must they have to buy multiples ...

Clarins Hydraquench Serum

For a long time, I thought that I wasnt yet in the right age bracket to be using a serum. To me, they were anti-ageing, firming products that were reserved for the likes of my mother, and werent...

My Nail Care Routine

More than once on this blog have I bemoaned my piss-poor nails. I have shallow nail beds with thin and weak nails. With summer coming up, I decided to make a concerted effort to improve the overall h...

Blogging Organisational Tips

Dee and I are lucky in that there are two of us to carry this blog. Back in 2010, when we first started writing, we put ourselves under enormous pressure to crank out upwards of three posts per day. ...

Take Three: Nourishing Oils

Multi-tasking nourishing oils have been a massive hit in the beauty world over the last year or so. Bio-Oil and Johnsons Baby Oil used to be pretty much the only options out there - not any more! The...

My Z Palette

If youve been reading this blog for awhile, youll probably be aware that I have a good few MAC palettes; five to be precise, three for eyeshadow and two for blush. While I love them, they arent at al...

The Best Powder I Have Ever Used

Im kind of a freak for powder, and have dabbled in a good few in my time. MAC Studio Finish and Maybelline Dream Matte used to be my BFFs, but then about a year ago, Sinéad converted me to MAC Minera...

Sally Hansen Complete Care 4-in-1 Treatment

Real Techniques Brushes (Picture Heavy)

W7 Shocking Pink

Philosophy Lovin

It always is such a big deal for me when products I usually have to source from overseas become available in Ireland. I feel like were really far behind the like of the USA in terms of demand and int...

Lush Newbies

I seriously love Lush, but it seems that I kind of forgot that fact for a couple of months. However, a spur-of-the-moment trip to their Grafton Street branch at the weekend fixed me! Sometimes I love...

Striped Nails!

Im still getting back into the swing of nail art. For ages, I was solely into block colours, and even quit my glitter habit for a while - very odd for me! Anyhow, as were edging closer to the summert...

Brush Cleaning

For some reason, and no, I dont know why, I am obsessed with make-up brushes. Given that I dont even wear the whole shebang; contour, eyeshadow, liner, on a daily basis, I have no real need for havin...

LOréal Elvive Extraordinary Oil

Its the age-old tale; we want what others have. Me? Ive always had naturally straight hair but, Ive yearned for hair that has a bit of body and a bit of wave. Nothing too drastic just a hair type tha...

NUXE Clarifying Cream Mask

Nuxe has been one of the best skincare discoveries that Ive made thanks to blogging. Their Reve de Miel range, launched last year, was faultless, and now theyve come out with another bunch of amazing...

Rimmel 1000 Kisses Lip Tint

Ive said it before and Ill say it again - I really dont get the whole nude lip thing at all. Obviously, Im fairly biased as it really doesnt seem to suit my colouring, but I really do think that, eve...

Eyeko Skinny Brush Mascara

There has been a lot of mixed reactions within the beauty community about Eyekos recent rebranding; some love it and some hate it. I dont have much of a prior history with the brand as its not r...

Revlon ColourBurst Lip Butters

Im a bit late to the party on this one! As a matter of principle I was trying to hold off on buying Revlon Lip Butters until I was in NYC in August. You see, they retail for a whopping €10-€12 here a...

DIY The Perfect Pale Foundation

Its a funny thing that, in this beauty-obsessed day-and-age, cosmetics companies cant better cater to their markets. Its not a myth that the majority of Irish people are so pale, we are almost t...

Ive Been Very Loyal Lately...

Ive been a bit of a loyalist lately. No, I wasnt making any kind of political statement but, for the past week-and-a-half or so, I have been wholly loyal to one make-up brand and one make-up brand on...

Dotty Spring Nails!

Myself and nail art have kind of fallen out of favour in recent times, and Im not really sure why. Im going to put it down to simply having far too many nail polishes to use and get through, which ma...
