There’s something about YouTubers

I love nothing more than lying in bed at night and watching YouTube videos. I always have Pinterest handy so I can favourite items that I have seen and “need” to buy. In fact this little hobby of mine is slowly bankrupting me. This time 18 months ago my makeup fit in a  smallish makeup bag, now its a chest of drawers!!

While I like to experiment with makeup myself I love watching YouTube tutorials for inspiration. Below are some of the YouTubers who have inspired me and contributed to my bankruptcy.

Ok so you must be living under a rock in Timbuktu if you haven’t heard of Pixiwoo.  I love the sister duo of Sam and Nic. Sam is the creator of Real Technique brushes, a firm favourite of beauty lovers. Pixiwoo use a mix of high end and drug store products in their tutorials. Their step by step guide make their tutorials easy to follow.
This lady makes me feel so much better about my spending habit.  Tiffany is some shopper and knows how to sniff out the bargains. She films her videos in her walk in wardrobe and I have serious wardrobe envy when I watch her videos. I stumbled upon this blog a few months ago and it has become a firm favourite of mine. Tiffany is probably one of the most honest YouTubers out there. 
I found Chloe’s channel when looking for a Christmas party makeup look. Chloe has so many different tutorials that you are bound to find one that you love. I have tried her Adriana Lima tutorial a few times and gotten many compliments about my makeup when I wear it.


Vivanna is by far one of my favourite beauty bloggers and YouTubers. I love how she gives an honest account of products and how she struggles with winged eyeliner.

Tanya was the very first beauty YouTuber I subscribed to. I have tried out so many of her tutorials and have had great success as they are so easy to follow. I love how she uses mainly Mac eyeshadows, as it makes looks more accessible to me as I have a bit of a Mac eyeshadow addiction. If you are looking to try out some step by step makeup looks then this is the YouTuber for you.
Some home grown YouTubers worth a mention.

Many Irish beauty bloggers are beginning to venture into the world of YouTube. Below are some of the Irish YouTubers that I subscribe to and are definitely worth a look.

Who knows maybe someday I might take a notion and start my own YouTube channel. What do you think? Can you put up with even more of my waffle?

Bridal makeup series : Nicole Pringle makeup artist. Vintage makeup

For the final part of the bridal makeup series, I went with something a little more different. Vintage makeup is very popular for brides, as it is a classic look that never dates.

Don’t you just love the Victory roll? Having had three trials now, I have a very clear idea of what I want. I am…

Diary of a Crossfit newbie

It is a bit of an oddity, that I am writing a fitness post. I am most certainly not a gym bunny, nor do I regularly take part in any form of exercise. In fact the height of my exercise for almost 2 years, has been the odd stroll around the Phoenix park to try and help shift a few pounds. Exercise is honestly just not my thing. Makeup and lounging on the couch with the laptop are my thing. I most certainly never thought that I would find myself back in a gym, never mind a Crossfit gym. To me Crossfit is a massively scary gym, full of  muscly men…

It is no secret that I am a huge fan of Moogoo. I have raved about Moogoo on my blog and social media for a long time now .

Have a read here of how it has helped others. It can however be hard to know what to…

Banish ugly feet with Simon & Tom’s Callus removing gel

It is a rare occasion that you will catch me blogging about feet, but the Simon & Tom Callus removing gel is something that needed to be shared. This Callus removing gel is an at home pedicure kit, which is said to remove the hard skin and callus from your feet, while at the same the nourishing and hydrating them. So does it actually work? Many of you will know that I am personally not a fan of feet at all and I even sometimes find it hard doing my own toe nails. So when this popped through my door, I was a little nervous to give it a try and it sat…

Back to school wardrobe

September marks a new beginning for so many. For me, January is all doom and gloom, new diets and credit card bills. I love September because it gives me the fresh start without all of the new year new me malarky. September is not only my favourite time of year for fresh starts but I adore Autumn Winter fashion and with a new school year starting, I am ready for an injection of some new bits into my wardrobe. Scarves, ballerina pumps and cardigan sales are kept afloat by the Irish teachers and before anyone thinks I am mocking, I have plenty of these in my wardrobe too!! Classrooms are cold and…
