To Santy....

 Christmas is in 5 weeks, can you believe it?

I cant wait for all the nights out, yummy food and pressies :)

If I could have one present it would be a car. But im not getting one so my wishlist consists of smaller items such as make up clothes and other beauty related stuff!

1.

I've been wanting this Sigma Premium Kit since the first day it came out. I have the original Kit which I got last Christmas and I adore it! The quality just cant compare to anything else that I own.

2.

My favourite perfume has to be Calvin Kleins Euphoria! I havent owned it for a while since I dont buy my own perfume ( thats whats birthdays are for ) It reminds me of winter, snow and cold. Im also allergic to a lot of frangnances but not this! It was made for me!!!

3.

I've collected quite a few things from MAC but its an addiction, and i need to feed it!

I need a blush palette so I can depot my blushes, and also some more eyeshadows and lipsticks!

The Holiday palettes are gorgeous and I wouldnt mind getting my hands on one of them!



4.

Liz earle Skincare!

Everyone raves about the cleanse and polish cleanser! I want to try it just because It involves using a muslin cloth. I love skincare, the first step to having even make up is having good skin.

Im not sure if we can get this in Ireland (suprise suprise ) but I can always order it online :)

5.

A new tattoo!

I know exactly what i want and where I want it. Its just the matter of getting it done!

You may think, oh dont you have enough already? Its my body and thats what I want to do with it. I want to be a cool granny with loads of tattoos haha :)

Just like her!

Hahahaha

and that is all...

Im not very picky and I dont need expencive gifts! Its the thought that matters!

On this note I will be doing a Christmas Giveaway this week so keep an eye out for it!

Thank you for reading I appreciate all my 21 followers :)

Makeup School...

I love it!

Clinique Buys

I was looking to try a new foundation and remembered that a while ago I tried a sample of Cliniques Repairwear. At the time my skin was very oily so the foundation didnt really stay on, after all it is marketed for dry/normal skin. But what did stand out was the amazing coverage. I didnt have to use any concealer and it made my skin look flawless!

Since then my skin has become very dry and dull so hopefully the foundation will keep it nice and moisturized during the winter time!

The store assistant told me that if I purchased another product I would get a free full size concealer and a foundation brush! So I had a look around and decided to get the pore minimizer serum as I do have extremely large pores :/ 

After one day of wearing this foundation I can now tell you that it is by far the best foundation I have ever tried beating MAC studio fix and Estee Lauders Doublewear!
It stayed on all day without getting patchy or flaky.
I cant explain to you how great it actually looks. Not one bit cakey more natural than anything else.
In this case a little bit really does go a long way so bear that in mind!

The foundation is ment for mature skin but its perfectly suitable for young skin! It just has extra coverage and very moisturizing! It didnt cause any breakouts the last time and hopefully wont this time but I will keep you updated!

 The foundation costs €33 and the pore minimizer is €25.

Ive only used the pore minimizer twice and cant tell how good it is, but it did make my skin smooth and acted as a good primer for the foundation.

 The concealer also seems lovely, I just used it to brighten my under eye area and it looked nice!

The foundation brush is quite small but very soft! I used it on one of the girls that evening and she said it felt amazing on her skin. 

Overall I am extremely happy with my purchases and I will be doing a review on both products soon! 

Have you tried any of these products?

Modelling with LA Makeup Academy

I AM NOT A MODEL!

Just to put that out there haha...

I will never be one either, Im 5'3 which is too small and I dont have "a model face" if you know what I mean ;)

A while ago I applied to be a model for a Makeup school! A couple of months after they rang me and since then ive been there twice and have some nice photographs to share with you!

The first time the looks they created were high fashion and a going out look!

I had so much fun and it was a great experience since I am training to become a makeup artist myself!

High Fashion

                                                                      Going Out Look



I didnt photoshop the photos, the photographer did! I wasnt happy that he made my hair look grey but what can you do :/

The second time they called was last Wednesday and I went in on Thursday morning!

The first look was natural ( almost no makeup) and a Bridal look!

Natural (I know I look very young with barely any makeup)

                                                                 and a Bridal look

This was the first time I tried a dark lipstick on myself.. I think I will stick with my neutrals and pinks haha!

These photos were only send to me the other day and they havent been touched up yet!

I am not allowed to post these on facebook or anywhere else but here I am breaking the rules just so you guys can see :)

I also took my own photos!

The girl that did my makeup was amazing!

Shes actually a model and is training to become a makeup artist also!

Shes my hero!

                                                            The face chart she was working off

                                               I loved my hair! I now own an extra 30 bobby pins! Score ;)

                                                                         

What do you think of these makeup looks?

Which one is your favourite?

Outfit and Face of the Night!

I went to a UV party on Friday. It was for a charity and I had a brill night! I didnt want to wear anything special as it would get destroyed.

And it did...

So I went all out on the makeup and kept the outfit simple!

All my clothes apart from my shoes happen to be from Penneys/Primark.

                                     Im sorry about the bad picture but you can sorta get the idea

I love doing smokey eyes for nights out and adding some dramatic falsies and thats exactly what I did!

 

On my eyes im wearing:

MAC paintpot in blackground

Inglot eyeshadow in black with blue sparkles

Blended out with a matte brown also by Inglot

My highlight is MAC pigment in Vanilla

On my lips I have myth :)

Thank you for reading

xox

P.S Id like to say a big hello to my new followers, you dont know how happy this makes me! I love blogging about all things beauty and knowing that theres actually girls out there reading my blog makes it 100 times better!

Thank You!!

My fave nailpolish of the month!

I recently got my gels removed and my nails are in a horrible mess :(

They wont grow, keep breaking and very very thin!

I try not to use bright colours on my nails as it will highlight any bumps or cracks in my nails so I stick with neutrals!

I found this gorgeous colour in Superdrug for about €5

It lasts for about a week with minimal chipping! I achieved this colour after two coats!

I love any Rimmel polishes, they always have great colours and the texture is lovely :)

Whats your favourite polish of the month?
