March Favourites

Good morning everyone.  Can you believe that we are in April already. March has gone so fast. March was a good month for me as I had good fun with my sister and my family. Work was also going good. As it was going so good I had treated myself to a few beauty products. Well to be honest some of the things are new and some are not. As I am trying to use products that already have instead of buying new products all the time. 

Beauty:

Most people have a huge amount of make up brushes. While I don't have that many. I have a few Real Techneques ones and just odd ones here and there. I jumped at the chance to try this make up brushes from Pennys (Primark) by the P.S line when they came in to store. They all cast €2.50 each. As they are so cheap I didn't think that they would be any good. But oh my god, they are as good as my Real Techneques. The bristles are synthetic and very soft. The angled brush I used to apply my blush and contour with. The second double ended stipple brush is very good to apply concealer with and highlight. The last one is also a double ended, one side is a dome shaped eye shadow brush and the other end is a short bristles angled side, very handy to apply your eyeliner with or also for your brows if you use power to shade your brows. They are really good quality of brushes. There isn't a very huge variery of brushes from this line. 

Also from the P.S line from Pennys ( Primark) I love the lipliners. They are so creamy and glide one effortlessly. These are the one that I have.

Nude, Burgundy, Plum, Red

For the past month I have been using the Maybelline Colossal Mascara and the Collection Super size mascara. I fist use the Collection Supersized as its little drier formula while the Maybelline is more on the wet side. I really like the both.

Instead of a foundation I have been using a Garnier BB cream. I like to wear it going to work as its a light coverage but it does the job, as I don't want to be covered in make up at work. I like the natural look. For those dark circles underneath my eyes as I have to get up so early in the morning I 

 use the Catrice All Round Concealer. This is my second one. Its really creamy and it don't crease underneath my eyes during the day.

I was never one for contouring my face but I have trying to do so and as they say practice makes perfect. I have been using other products to contour and it didn't look very nice so I was on a hunt for a good product and I think I have found it. Its the Sleep contour palette in Fair. It has the perfect contour shade, a nice highlight shade that is not over the top and a nice blush, that you have to use is very little as a little way goes a long way. The blush has a little bit of shimmer to is, something on to the highlight shade. I have to say that this is my life saver. 

To take off all of my beautiful face every day I started using the Boots Cleansing lotion. It is infused with cucumber. It leave my face feel so smooth and silky. I love it and I wouldn't use anything else.

I have heard so many good things about the next two products. The first one is the Rimmel Pressed translucent powder. I can see why people all over the beauty community were raving about this. I use it for work and I have to say that its a miracle. The second product I bought a little while ago but I didn't use it that much its the MUA Highlight. I sometimes apply it on top of other highlighter to make it more dramatic. I know I am not very dramatic but sometimes I just want that little bit of  'oh lala'

Katie my sister bought me this perfume from Christmas and I have been using it nearly everyday. Its the Celine Dion Signature perfume. I love it. She know me well.

For the last but not least I have to share with you all my favorite boots, that I have been wearing as mush as I can with anything that will do with them. They are just so comfy and go with pretty much anything. I think I will have to show you guys. I bought these in Pennys (Primark)

Well guys those are my favorites for this month. What are your favorites last month. Let me know down in the comments below. 

Nails of the Day: BarryM and SoSu

Hi guys, how are ye all doing today. I know I didn't post last Sunday but when I realized that it was Sunday it was so late that I couldn't be bothered to take out the laptop. So today for a quick post here is the nails that I had this week. I have to say that absolutely loved it. The SoSu nail polish in Unicorn Dust made it last so much. Four days until any nail chipped.

The BarryM shade is called Blueberry.

it goes on very opaque with two coats.

The SoSu nail polish is called Unicorn Dust.

I applied just the one coat so that the lilac would come true very nicely.

This is my opinion is an elegant nail. I got a lot of complements. 

What do think?

Daily Life:The plan to make this year the best one yet.

Hi everyone. So it has been a while as always. I think you all know me by now. While I have been away I am been enjoying life. This is what I have been up to in the last few weeks.

I have been enjoying working! I have made some silly mistakes and I have been learning from them. For example taken cake orders and doing them correctly, I know this might sound silly but there is a lot of things one has to ensure that everything is done right so that the customer is happy with the result. I have been so scared of taken cake orders just because I have never done them, then it was hard to give the customer advice on what type of cake they would like (if they didn't already know what they wanted), while I didn't know what the cakes were. By that I mean what type of sponge that could be used, filling and icing that would go nicely with the sponge. Now don't get to wrong I know how to make a cake but I didn't know how this company makes cakes and so on. Anyway six months down the line and I think that I am getting there, and by getting there I mean if a customer comes and to order a simple cake I have no problem taking the order. I have to say that I have gained a lot of experience so much in the last few months. Working in a coffee shop is not just serving customers and making coffee. Its so much more then that. I can say that I am so lucky that I got this opportunity to work with them. I am looking forward to many more months to work with these great people.

In a more personal note my sister comes in to the city to see me over the weekends. I can't be more happier to see her. She still lives at home and she is working all week, its great that we can get some few hours together to have a little giggle and Rhys loves his aunt.

In the last few days I have been thinking that I should start my own business. I have always wanted my own business or even to run a business of some sort. I love to be a BOSS. These are the things that I love doing and making.

• Knitting
• Baking and cooking
• Cosmetics

With this thought in mind I was looking up how to make your own eye shadow at home. To start of and of course to practice with. I am not a chemist and I really don't know much or anything about chemistry. So this is going to be the way I have to go about it. I spend a good evening last night looking up on YouTube and online how to go about making your own cosmetics. All the supplies are quite cheap if you know where to buy them. So I am going to do some more research on that and I will keep you all up to date. I also have to think of a name and logo. But I think for the time being I will just stick to practising on how to make the eye shadows and other cosmetics like nail polish. These are my ideas that I would love to make them come true.

Thanks guys for spending the time to read my posts. Let me know if you have every trying making your own cosmetics and how it all went down for you, I wold love to know. If you have any advice for me also don't be shy and let me know.  Until the next time.

Getting back into it again

Hi guys, how are ye all doing?

I didn't blog last week becasuse I was way to tired to do it. Jeff and I went off and got ourselves a new laptop. Its pretty good I have to say. Its a HP one. Don't ask me any more about it because I have no idea about it. Jeff picked it out.

Work has been very slow at the start of the week for the past two weeks. We cleaned everything Monday and Tuesday.

I have to get used to editing my YouTube videos on the laptop and I am being so lazy about it. I know it has to be done. Talking of videos I am currently editing my January Favorites. If you have missed out in my last video here is is now. So that your up-to date.

I will be filming a new video for Thursday guys I think ye will enjoy this one. Its going to be a First Impressions with a twist. 

In other news this Wednesday is going to be an exciting day, I am going to sit my Driving Theory Test. I am so looking forward to start driving and being more independent. That will make life so much easier, but also more expensive. The cost of petrol, insurance tax and everything else that comes with a car. It has to be done. 

That is all of my news for today guys.

Daily Life : I have made some scheduls.

Hi guys, as always it has been over a months since I posted anything. You may already know that blogmas didn't work out for me. I was way to tired every night when I came home from work, it was my first Christmas working in ages and I hadn't got any energy to do anything. I did try to blog over my phone and for some reason the Blogger App isn't working anymore on my phone, I don't know why that is.

Last Monday I turned 26 years old. I can't believe that last year has gone so fast. Where does the time go, I really don;t know. There is so much I would like to do this year. The top thing on my list this year is to go to the Beauty Show in the RDS. I have holidays booked for that, now all is left to do is to buy the tickets which I think are on sale now, I must hurry on. I am sending off forms to get myself a new passport, I haven't been out of the country for over 8 years, I need to see the world. Another thing on my list to do this year.

Rhys was in hospital over the Christmas holidays and that wasn't a very nice experience. He is OK now though and that is all that matters.

As you may already know I work in a coffee shop. I had coffee training a month or so ago and since then I have been practising my coffee art. I am not on the coffee machine to often, so when I get a chance to make some coffees I will try to make some sort of art. I have been watching videos on Instagram of people making coffee art. It just amazes me. I am kinda weired.



On to other news. I have been thinking since its a new year and all that I should make a schedule for my YouTube channel and this blog, so that you guys will know when to come back for more material to watch and read. I am currently saving for a laptop so that way I will be able to do all of my YouTube and blogging stuff without interfering with Jeff's stuff too. At the moment we are using one computer and its kinda hard. I am thinking of writing blog post during the week and posting them on a Friday and Sunday, that way I have a least two posts a week going out. Same goes for YouTube I am going to record in the evening when I come home from work and upload those videos on a Tuesday and Thursday, I know a lot of people uploading on the same days but I think those days are the most popular days that people sit down and watch videos.

Those are my plans for the time being anyway. If anything changes I will let ye all know.

Thank you all for stopping by, don't forget to say HI to me in the comments.

1st Of December - Blogmas

Hi guys. How are ye all doing this fine 1st of December? I can't believe that its December all ready. This year has gone so fast.

I have taken the plunge and this year I am going to write a blog post everyday until Christmas. I am really looking forward to that to be hones. This is going to be a challenge for me as you nay know that I am working all the time. I really don't know what I am going to writing about. I have read a few blogmases from last year but I don't remember what they were about. For todays I am going to just tell you about my day.

It was a good start to the day because it wasn't raining. I love the mornings that it doesn't rain, that way I come into work all nice and dry. Today wasn't really that busy in the coffee shop but then again there was two more people working with us so that gave us a great help. I was behind the salads bar. My role was to ask the customers what they wanted to eat and drink. Then I would call the order into the kitchen, and lastly I would bring down the food if there wasn't anyone to do it.

I had my full half an hour lunch today, some days I might just take the 20 minutes if its really busy, I don't really mind it. For my lunch today I had salmon with Thia sweet chillie sauce some Asia cabbage and pasty salad. I love our salads they are just amazing.  As there was so many of us in the evening the cleaning was done much faster and we were out by six in the everning.

Now I am just at home relaxing. I need to have a shower put Rhys to bed and maybe watch some Criminal Minds or Bones. I really need to catch up on those two.

Thats all for me for today. I hope you liked this post. If you have a blomas let me know about them in the comments so that I go and have a read.

What did you do today?
