Get it Done!!

With less than 4 weeks to Christmas and without a doubt the biggest party season of the year we all want to look and feel our very best.

No matter how much skincare, beauty & makeup products we use, there is nothing like feeling great in yourself without all of that.

It's a busy time of year for most people, rushing around getting the Christmas shopping, all the Christmas events & parties. Once the 1st of December hits, most people go into Christmas mode. Yes of course we are all going to have treats around Christmas but it's important that we still eat balanced meals even if we are having a treat. A lot of people skip meals when they have binged and this is something we need to learn not to do.

Knowing that we will probably over indulge over silly season, Take 20-30 minutes out of your day and do a quick "Hiit" session a couple of times per week. You don't need gym membership or fancy equipment to do this. You just need you.

I don't have time ...

I know I have made excuses and yes we all have but when I've said "I don't have time" I could still find myself scrolling through social media for that 20-30 minutes throughout the day. So really if we want to do it we will find the time.

There are loads of fantastic workout videos but here's 2 people that I really enjoy following because their workout videos are quick & easy to follow and you just Get it done!!!

What Make-up Brushes Do You Use ?

One of the most asked questions I get is 'What Makeup brushes do you use'??

Nowadays there are so many fantastic brands that do Makeup brushes and the majority are very good quality. My personal favourite brushes to use are 'Crown Brushes' www.crownbrush.ie  

The longevity and quality of the hairs are fantastic. As a makeup artist, investing in high quality tools is important but it doesn't have to break the bank. I think the crown brushes are well priced and affordable for those looking for long lasting brushes.

Real techniques would be next on my list. I recently purchased 2 sets, one for the face and the other for the eyes. They had a fantastic special offer as they were half price. These brushes also came with a little case for them which is super handy if you like to keep them separated.

I spotted this ever so glam set of brushes also in Boots just 3weeks ago... How FAB are these???!!! 

If you know me, you know I love Rose Gold!! This would be a beautiful stocking filler for any makeup lover this Christmas! A girl can never have too many brushes !!!

MAC brushes also have a brilliant life span but they defiantly are more expensive. They often launch smaller brush sets over the Christmas period and these are usually a little less expensive. Here is the 'nutcracker sweet contour brush set'

TOP TIP:

Wash your brushes once a week. 

-Often people go months on end without washing their makeup brushes. Not only will the product build up and effect how your makeup turns out but they will also have gathered germs. 

-You can wash them in warm soapy water with some baby shampoo. Towel dry and leave on the window ledge to dry naturally. 

-Try not let the water drip into the handle of the brush as this can loosen the glue and cause hairs to fall out.

There are lots of brush cleaners available from many stores. This one is available from Penneys for just €2.50!

 I find giving them a good wash with shampoo gets a very thorough clean and between washes I use a brush cleaner.

For my kit, I clean my brushes with surgical spirits and brush cleaner between clients. At the end of the day I shampoo them.

Give your brushes a wash tonight and let me know if it helped your makeup application over the weekend!

Have a good one,

Revitalize Your Skin

Hi ladies,

Happy November

Here's to a new month, new beginnings and new goals!!

Tonight I have done a quick snapchat tutorial on this face mask.

I feel that looking after your skin is very important and as life is super busy for most people we usually don't give it the attention it really deserves. After all, we only have one skin!!

So every few weeks I try to squeeze in a face mask at some stage. Ideally once a week but that rarely ever happens. My all time favourite is this face mask. It's a mask powder with Aloe Activator mixed.

I have demonstrated a quick step by step over on my snapchat so be sure to check it out over the next 23 hours!!

This is a Perfect Christmas gift for all the ladies! It 's only €34 for both Mask Powder and Aloe Activator. You will get about 14 uses frm this so its such a bargain!!

It's so simple to do at home after a long days work to revitalize your skin. Or even on a Saturday night with the girls and a glass of wine! Just don't forget to take it off before the bottles gone

As you will see over on snapchat, once applied it starts to tighten quite quickly! You will see that I look like some Halloween character towards the end of the snaps but it's most definatly worth looking a little scary for the final product.

My skin always feels squeaky clean, completely revitalized and super soft after the mask.

For more aged skin it helps diminish the appearance of fine lines, plumps skins, tighten pores.

For more info on the mask you can contact me via
