Makeup bag essentials / Makeup for beginners

Screen Shot 2015-11-16 at 7.53.23 p.m.It will come as no surprise to you lovely lot, that talking about makeup is one of my absolute favourite things to do. I love nothing more than being in a group of woman talking all things beauty. I love helping people pick new products and advising them what will and won’t work for them. However, so often I hear women say, ” Sure I wouldn’t even know where to begin. I haven’t a clue what I should or shouldn’t have in my makeup bag”. Well I have finally put together a video showing you exactly what you need to have a finished look.

As filling your makeup bag can be costly, I have included both my high end and budget recommendation for products that you will need to complete your look. Of course I am not saying to buy all of my suggests, but this video will give you more of an idea of what items work and what don’t, so that you don’t waste any more money.

If however you’re someone who knows your concealer from your highlighter. Then this video gives you an idea of what my tops picks are for all products that you will need for a full face of makeup.

Hope you guys enjoy the video and I would love to know what type of videos you would like to see in the new year.

The Mac Haul

Seriously, could I milk these haul videos anymore? I have finally edited my final haul for you guys and this time it is packed full of products that you can actually get in Ireland, so be warned. This will not be good for your bank account, but if it is any consolation, you will look fabulous!! I’m sure there will be people wondering why I bought so much Mac when it is available in Ireland. Well here’s the thing. It is quite a bit cheaper in the States then it is on our fair Isle. Yes like everything else, we seem to be a soft touch for the extra few…

Violet Voss Holy Grail Palette Tutorial and review

If you follow any of my social media, you will have heard me talk about this palette again and again. The Violet Voss Holy Grail palette, is one of those palettes that has taken the hearts of many a beauty lover. When you look at it, it is not hard to see why. The Violet Voss palette is a warm tone lovers dream palette. It has 20 warm toned shadows that are a mix of both matte and shimmers. Often with eyeshadow palettes, there are either too many of the same type of colour, or not enough shades to create several different looks. This is most certainly not the case…

October Favourites

It’s that time of the month again. No not the time where I sit on the couch, cry and eat lots of chocolate, but my monthly favourites time. I’ve tried many new products this month, that I am just dying to tell you about. However, as usual, I forgot to include a product that I have absolultey adored in my video, so I thought I would tell you about it here before you watch my favourites below. Over the past few weeks there has been an awful lot of hype surrounding the Cocoa Brown instant tans. I would say at this point almost every single blogger has mentioned them or written…

A little Mac haul

Ok so I am using the term haul a little loosely here as technically a haul is only a haul if you hand over your hard earned cash, but this week I received some seriously wonderful Mac products that I just had to share with you immediately. Over the coming weeks, I will be using every single product that is featured in today’s video and each will get there own individual post, but for now I wanted to bring you something that I have done before, and record a first impressions video. I love watching videos like this, so I hope it is something that you guys like. As most…

How to get big, bouncy, curly hair

If there is one thing I love, it is big massive bouncy and curly hair. My hair is my absolute pride and joy.  I really am like some sort of modern day Samson, as a lot of my confidence lies in how my hair looks. When my hair is on point, my confidence soars. Most of you will already know that I have worn hair extensions for a long time now. For the past 5 and a half months I have been wearing Gold Fever Hair extensions and my god I love them. While I have worn other extensions before, the real difference with Gold Fever is in the quality of…

Blank Canvas Master Series One Palette Tutorial

I am not normally one for tutorials. In fact, I tend to avoid them like the plague. I often feel that my lack of qualifications in makeup, makes me hold back in showing how I apply my makeup. However, I’ve come to the realisation, that qualifications are not a big deal for things like youtube. So I have decided to give tutorials another go. As I tend to flash the other products that I use quite quickly, I thought I would tell you a little about them here. Push Rudy Nudy You may have heard me talk about this product before, but this is honestly one of the best, if not…
