Make Up Products I Hate

Okay so hate's a strong word haha , maybe the title should be 'Make up products I dislike ' instead .

Some of these products are expensive to buy , some people might like them but this is just my honest opinion . Before I buy makeup I usually read lots of reviews so I'm not wasting my money on a terrible product , but these products (except LA Girl Pro Conceal & Smashbox Primer Water) where impulse buys . Let me know if you like these more chit chat videos as well as tutorials , I actually find them really enjoyable to record .

Dramatic Glitter Winged Eyeliner

Well I think everyone knows at this stage that I am kind of a fan of winged eyeliner haha . I thought I would go a little more dramatic on the wing & apply some glitter . I bought nail art brushes from Poundland & they are so handy (and cheap) for detailed looks. If there is any fall out of glitter you can always tidy it up with a wipe , this is why I like applying foundation etc after the eyes . I must write a blog post on the eyebrow product I currently use because I absolutely love it ! This look  would look lovely with a sleeked back ballerina bun .

Cranberry & Rose Gold | Eye Make Up Tutorial

This weeks make up look is on this eye look that I wore in last weeks SOSU contour palette tutorial . Its a way to incorporate colour into your make up without being over the top . Cranberry & burgundy tones are especially nice on green eyes as they are the opposite on the colour wheel & really make the eyes pop.

Its a half cut crease look so there is a defined cut at the inner part of the eyelid then the outer part of the eyelid is more blended .

Gym Playlist | My Top Ten Tracks

I always find I do a better workout when I have good motivating music to listen too . Since a lot of people are getting into fitness this Janaury I thought it was the perfect time to share some of my all time favourite music tracks to listen to in the gym . Please keep in mind I listen to a lot of rap/R'n'B .

1. Can't Be Touched  - Roy Jones 
Roy Jones was also a world champion boxer & used this song as his entrance song. Its been out for years but I find it the best for getting into workout mode .

Listen :Click Here .

2. Till I Collapse - Eminem
I don't think I will ever find a song as uplifting & motivating then this ! If I could this gym playlist would probably be 80% Eminem .

Listen :Click Here .

3. Unstoppable - Sia
This ones definitely a lot less .... ghetto haha . Sia's voice is just something else & the lyrics are perfect when your struggling with that last rep .

Listen :Click Here .

4. Guts Over Fear - Eminem & Sia
One of my all time favourite songs in the gym & outside the gym  . I listen to this song atleast once a day . The lyrics are amazing .

5. I'm the Man - 50 Cent & Chris Brown
Lovveeee it !

6. Blessings - Big Sean
Good for getting you hyped to go for a workout . I can never listen to the full song though .

Listen :Click Here .

7 . Drop The World - Lil Wayne
Perfect for that last set, always helps me get it done & struggle through the pain.

8 . Numb - Linkin Park
A little rock never hurt no one , this was taken from my dads (mainly rock) gym playlist .

9 . Business - Eminem (Matoma Remix)
Love the original but this remix makes it a little more upbeat . Great running track .

10 . Needed Me - Rihanna
One of my favourite songs from Rihanna . Sometimes you cant beat female vocalists .

To be honest I really found it hard choosing just 10 tracks , there is just so many .
Thanks For Reading , hope you enjoy the music I mentioned as much as I do .

SOSU Contour Palette | Review & Tutorial

I got this palette as a Christmas gift from my Aunt but I was actually going to go out & buy it because the week before I received it as a gift we got it in work & I loved using it on clients .

The creams are really creamy & easy to blend , which is very important when it comes to cream contouring because previously I've had cream contour products that set in place straight away , leaving me with zero time to blend them out . The two powders in the palette aren't overly pigment so you don't have to worry about ruining your make up by applying too much , instead you can gradually build on the colour . The shades are perfect for Irish skin tones & there is nothing too dark . There is also a shimmery cream highlighter which I love using under powder highlights just to make them super intense .

The palette retails at €29.95 on the SOSU online shop .

Simple Brown Smokey Eye | Video Make Up Tutorial

First Post of 2017 ,  Woooo ! Hope you all had a lovely Christmas & New Year . I for one am kind of happy that everything's back to normal . Don't think I could look at another box of chocolates or a glass of wine at this stage .

Watch in HD : Click Here .

I recorded this the morning after New Years Eve so please excuse the messy hair & not so fresh face haha . This look is quite simple to create you just need patience and some good blending brushes . It would go with basically any outfit or lip colour . I did a lot of blending underneath my eyes also , but if that's not your thing or if you have smaller eyes , you can apply less under your eyes .
