Bronzed summer makeup look

Hey guys xo

Today is a collaboration with an amazing blogger thareni nicole blog. She's is such an amazing blogger so I would defiantly go and check it out as she definitely deserves it.

We're both doing summer makeup looks so I'll leave her link at the end. Mien is a bronzed look as I'm really loving the gold shimmery eye, bronzer and a nice lippy.

So here it is.

I started off with my seventeen primer. It really helps with keeping makeup on. I then moved on to my face.

I use my all time favourite foundation. The No7 instant radiance. I really love this as it gives a lovely glowy look. I then used my lifesaving concealer the collection lasting perfection. This really brightens up under my eyes and covers up my imperfections.

I used my Kate Moss Sculpting palette. I love this as unlike many palette so they cater for more than one skin tome. I use a good bit of contour as it is a bronzed look. I also use a bit of blush and then my fave highlighter. I also did a bit of contouring with my hoola bronzer.

For my eyes I did one of my favourite looks. I put the maybelline colour 24 colour tattoo all over my eyelids. This is such a pigmented and it gives off an amazing shimmer. Which I love. I then used my maybelline the nudes palette. I used one of the lighter shades of brown and put it in my crease. Then I used one of the darker shades of brown in my outer corner. This is really nice and easy eye look and it works great on all types. I then used my benefit roller lash mascara and its amazing and really
separates and gives my lashes a longer and fuller effect. For brows I used sleek and used a  dark brown

Then for lips I used my benefit hoola lip gloss. It's such a nice colour and it doesn't feel to sticky like
many lip glosses out there
That's what I did to create this summer look. Here is the completed look below.

Makeup and beauty wish list // collab with Daisy Petals

Hey guys xo

How are you ? Today I have a collab with an amazing blogger "Daisy Petals". I love her blog so make sure to go and check it out. We're doing makeup and beauty wish lists so if you have any of these items tell what in the comments what you  think of them. Let's get to it.

A beauty wish list. We all have one. A List of things we want and either can afford or just never get around to buying it. Life is hard when your girl on a budget. So we all just may as well fall in love we things we can never get.

The first thing on my wishlist is Adidas Superstars. I'm getting a pair of these soon anyway as I've wanted them for a long time and there such pretty shoes. I think I'm going to get the white and black or the metallic. I can't wait to get them as I reallly need new shoes for summer. I'll definetly have to do a look book feauting these.


The next thing on my wish list is for sure the Naked palletes. I've wanted these for so long. There all just so perfect and amazing. Although there is many amazing dupes sometimes you just want the real deal. Even if it is €50 more. I think there all such versatile and create many amazing looks. I'm sure there all definitely worth the money.

One thing that's in at the moment is Bomber jackets. There perfect for Sumemer as if your like me and live in a country where the weather isn't great. Thanks Irish weather. It's great to have a light jacket to wear out. This will definitely be something I'll be purchasing for this summer. I've seen a couple I like so I'll have to try and tie it down to just one.

I'm in love with lipsticks but for a lover of my lippies I don't own any Mac. The one at the top of my list is definitely velvet teddy. I'm not too big a fan of bright lipsticks except for summer. I feel as this is a year round colour and would be perfect for any occasion. I'll for sure be buying this.

I'm a big fan of perfumes. I can't leave the house without it. I've had many amazing perfumes over my time and one of my favorites was Daisy Marc Jacobs. The perfume are all amazing and I really want to get another one as there all scents perfect for summer. I'm not really a fan of "flower scented" scents there all so nice.

I have Many more favourites but I'm going to leave it with this last one. I already have two of the maybelline palletes The Nudes palletes, but since I don't live in Amercia and they don't bring it all over here I can't get it. Hopefully I'll only have to wait a little while longer before they stock it in Ireland.

I hope you enjoyed reading it and I'm glad to be back blogging again. I've been so busy studying and taking time for myself.
Loved you collabing with daisy petals.

Beauty hacks I live by.

Hey lovelies xo

Today I'm doing beauty hacks I live by. We have our little ways we do certain things that can be lifesaver. So here are my beauty hacks which I've picked il from many different people. It's also a collab with the amazing a drop of serendipity. So definitely go and check her blog out.

One big thing I Learnt is NEVER use a compact mirror to do your eyebrows. Made that mistake once I over plucked. It's because when you do you might think they look perfect when you do that but look at your face fully and you'll notice they don't look like you wanted. I mean some people find it easier and do use a small mirror for my little hairs, but for shaping use a big Mirror.

I think we all know this one but damp you beauty blender. It gives a much better finish and it doesn't absorb as much of the product.

When doing makeup but a focus point. Where you want the attention to go too. Have a bold lip go for  a more neatrul eye. If going heavy with contour keep it light with the rest. Same goes for the rest.

If your mascara is dried out add eye drops. This makes it usable again. Another hack for mascara is to put a spoon behind your lashes to prevent it getting on you lid.

To make any white eyeshadow pop use a white eye pencil underneath. It really makes the colour pop. Think about it like this if you had a page a similar to your skin and a white page, it would show up better on the white one.

I do love contour but hate doing it but it can be as easy as a number 3. I know I what explain this very well but if you about where you contour. Start from the top and then the middle line is you check
bone and the Last is your jaw. Works for highlight as well just do it the opposite way


So I hoped you liked this quick beauty hacks and I can't wait to do more.

Friendships

Hey guys xo 

So today I have a collab With a really amazing blogger Antonia. I love her blog so definitely go and check it out. I taking a bit of different topic and doing friendships. Making friends and losing them. For a lot of people they can struggle with both so hopefully my advice though I'm an not an expert, I've been through it all.

Making friends for some people can be hard. Being honest the best thing you can do it just wait for the right time. My group we just starting being friends. It wasn't forced, or awkward we just clicked from the start and now we're so close it's unreal. Thinking back to when we were just only 12 or 13 and starting secondary school now we're all 15 a couple almost 16. The thing I can say is BE YOURSELF. That's the most Important thing. Your friends are people who can be yourself around and they won't judge. When starting a new school or moving it can be hard making new friends but just find people with common interests and people who make you feel welcome. I've never struggled with Making friends but I've never had a lot either. I'm not saying I don't talk to people I always do but I'm just an awkward person a lot of the time.

Now on the topic of losing friends. We've all been through this. The one thing you need to remember is that it happens for a reason. I've lost a couple of friends and I feel like it's done me good. One friendship we still talk it's not like we're enemies or anything but we just drifted apart and friends do that all the time it's totally normal. One girl this is a different story, she and my other friend got in a fight and she was Saying it was my fault. She made me feel so bad about my self so many times that I just had end it. They're is a lot more than went on which I'm not going to share as even if I don't particularly like her may aswell be honest I'd never bad mouth her especially on the internet. But as the quote goes everything happens for a reason. Breaking of a friendship may mean the start of another.

And if I could one piece of advice to you guys is to never replace your friends with your boyfriend/girlfriend. Friendships most likely last longer than relationships and are the ones there when your break up.

I hope you liked this as its a bit of a different one.

My favourite bands and singers

Hey guys xo

So music. One of my favourite things ever. I probably listen it to a lot of day. It expresses people when words can't. Music has been a big part of my life. From singing around with my friends playing "X-Factor" when I was child  to playing guitar since I've been playing since I was 8. I'm not into music that a lot of people would be into today. Yeah I love singing and dancing around to remixes but I love old music that was maybe out anywhere from 10 years ago to 40. Here's my favourite singers albums and songs.

So my all time favourite band would definitely have to be the 1975. There amazing and if you haven't listened to them I would definitely go and check out there albums. Songs to listen to first are The Sound, Chocolate, And Robbers.

My favourite singer is without a doubt James Bay. He has such an amazing voice and I just love him. He has such a soulful voice. If your into singers like Ed Sheeran I would definitely go and check him out. Songs to listen are Scars and running

Shawn Mendes. Need I say more. He is so talented and his songs are so good. His voice is my favourite thing ever though.

That brings me onto my next favourite singer Ed Sheeran. Who doesn't like Ed Sheeran. He songs are amazing. I love the fact he plays he's own music. Just him and his guitar. I feel we need more singers like him. Today it's just auto tuned remixes. I'm not saying it's bad.i can agree DJing is hard and takes time to perfect, but sometimes all that is needed is a voice and guitar. Songs to listen to are Niña, thinking out loud and give me love. Give me love has been one of my favourite songs since I was around 13. I listened to it on repeat for about a month.


Kodaline and Hozier. Living in such a small country it's hard to make it big but having some big artist
living basically on your doorstep is amazing. I'm sure  you've all heard the song take me to church. It
 was one of the top songs for ages. And Kodaline two on the members grew up in town very near me. Back on track to their music, both artists are amazing, if your into the artists I've mentioned I say you'll love these two.


I'm a big fan of some of imagine dragons including radioactive, demons, it's time and on top of the world. Also I love the songs let it be, hey Jude and here comes the sun by the Beatles. Omg their just so amazing and the songs I just love them. The songs you found me, how to save a life, and never say never the fray have been some of my favourites for years now. Such amazing songs.

Also I love Coldplay. There such a talented band and there songs are amazing.


I also love The calling wherever you go, Kings of Leon's use somebody, The goo goo dolls Iris and Carolina Liar show me what I'm looking for.

Not going to lie every once in a while I have a Little jam to high school musical, hairspray, grease songs and every pop song out there but who doesn't.

Hope you enjoyed this and it inspired you to find new music.
Love yous xo

Day time makeup look // Collab with Lexi

Hey guys xo

Today I'm doing a Collab with one of blogging besties Lexi. Make sure you go and check out her blog as it's amazing. We're both doing a makeup look using the La pallete Nude in rosé by loreal. I'm doing a day time look and Lexis doing a night time look. It's such a versatile pallete which you can create many different looks with  and I love it. That's why I'm doing a day time and Lexis doing a night time.

For my face I did my everyday makeup which I have a post on coming up on soon?

I forgot to take pictures of the look but I'll show you the colours I used.

I used the the white as base colour. As you can see I've gotten a lot of use out of it. It's so pigmented I sometimes when use it as a high lighter. 

I them took the shimmery pink and put it all over my lid. I then took the fourth colour In the pallete which is the third one in this picture. I put that in my crease and blended it up

  

I then put a bit of purple in my outer corner. I blended it out a bit to make a bit less harsh as it is a day time look.

I finished the look off with some mascara. I used a little Chanel tester my mum got. 

 And her we have the finished look. It's so quick and easy. This look is  lovely for spring. It's pink with a bit of purple.

Make sure you go and check out lexi's post
