In our new feature we're picking a highlight that's landed on the Her.ie beauty desk and giving you the lowdown on the beauty break-through, the budget and the reasons you should buy....  __________________________________  The Beauty Buzz Metallic is not just for Christmas you know. With the news that Christmas departments are opening up around the country ALREADY, we're ever so slightly allergic to talk of the festive season while the summer has not yet said goodbye. That said, well happily embrace a bit of gold, silver and blonde sparkle at any time of the year. The latest drop from budget brand Catrice is all about making your makeup pop with a little metallic magic.

The Beauty Brand Catrice is a German beauty brand that's widely accessible throughout Ireland. They're known for cheap-as-chips products that offer good coverage, strong pigmentation and an extremely pocket-friendly way to test out new trends before splurging on pricier products. It's typical to see several trend-driven drops hit the shelves every season and they're not long flying out of the stores... The Beauty Break-though The Beauty Budget We're starting at €2.29 (yes, you read that right) and most of the products on offer will set you back less than a fiver. Who could argue with that? They Say: Add some edge to your everyday makeup with an injection of metallic magic. The shiny stuff isn’t just for Christmas so don’t be scared of this shimmering beauty trend. Catrice Cosmetics have put together the metallic essentials for you to inject some shimmer into your look. We Say: We've been lyrical in our praise of Catrice's products in the past, in particular the Ultimate Nail Lacquer, and the new shades will help you nail the metallic trend (quite literally). The Kojl eyeliner is also pretty fab and we've taken to stocking up when we spot them... at that price you don't cry if you lose one. It's another strong show from Catrice and we can't wait to see what they come up with next.
