Updated School Makeup!

To be honest I don't know where the summer went because it literally flew by (this may be because I was on a One Tree Hill episode marathon where I watched every single episode of all twelve seasons only to sleep and eat!). I have decided to come back to blogging now that I am back at school and back in a routine. Since my last school make-up routine here I have started using some different products so I have decided to tell you what what I slap on my half asleep face every morning.

1. Bourjois healthy mix Foundation in the shade 51 light vanilla
2. Wet n Wild cover all concealer palette
3. Seventeen Stay time concealer in the shade extra fair
4. Collection sheer loose powder in the shade 1 barely there
5. Max Factor false lash effect fusion mascara in the shade black
6. Maybelline baby lips in either pink punch or cherry me

I am not allowed to wear too much make up to school therefore i keep it quite plain and simple.

Insert awkward Selfie in the morning!

Grainne!

Wet n' Wild has landed!

Finally from over the seas Wet n' Wild has landed here in Ireland and soon coming to the Uk. I have noticed the counter in Penneys (Irish Primark) and in local pharmacies. I don't think the counters will be in shops like Boots or Superdrug as I think it will only be in little pharmacies like the European brands Essence and Catrice Cosmetics, but you never know. When I saw the stand I knew I had to buy something so I bought the eyeshadow trio in "Walking on Eggshells" and the cover all concealer Palette. Both of these purchases were great and I was very happy with them. I definitely want to try some of their lipsticks as I have heard great reviews on them but that will have to be at a later stage.

See You Soon,

Makeup Storage and Organisation

If you know me than you know that I am a total organisation freak and if something is out of place I am not happy! Recently I have not been very happy with the layout of my makeup so I started a little hunt to find the perfect organiser. First I went on to Muji as I totally adore the acrylic storage that they have but once I seen the price tag it was a totally different ball game, if you did not know I am a student, I have not got a job and christmas and birthday money has to last me a whole year so unfortunately I wouldn't be able to afford Muji storage. I then went and searched on Google "Cheap UK Makeup Storage" and barely anything relevant came up (one of the main reasons why I am doing this post), I did find one blog that mentioned storage at WHSmith (sorry I can't remember the name of it) so I went on to the website and set my eyes on a six drawer storage system Here and I knew that was the exact one that I was looking for.

Before I show any pictures of my storage I will do the same as anyone else who does these types of post I am not trying to brag, honestly I don't even feel that I have that much makeup especially since the fact that most of it is drugstore and all the makeup I have I am grateful for. Obviously there is not much point in me showing my storage with nothing in it so that is why I kept all of my makeup in the unit. Now on to the actual storage. 

Here is an overview of my storage. It fits perfectly on top of my little cabinet.

On top of my storage I keep my palettes, brushes, tools and my mirror I like the way there is still some place on top to place some of my products when I am getting ready in the mornings.

In the top row of the unit there is three shallow drawers which in the left one I keep my blushes and highlighters, the middle I keep my powders and bronzers and in the right lip balms and tinted lip balms and in the back some eye cream spot gel and blotting paper.

In the second row there is two much deeper drawers and in the left one I keep all of my face products; primers, foundations, BB creams and concealers. Int the right drawer I keep my lip liners, Lipsticks and Lipglosses.

In the very last drawer is my eye drawer in here I keep; smaller quads of eyeshadows, eye and brow pencils, mascaras and eye shadow bases and pencils.

I am very happy with my storage and I hope this may of helped you if you are in the same boat as me or if you would just like some very pretty storage.

See You Soon

Makeup Brush Holder- DIY

Hi Everyone,
A while back I done a quick little post on a glade candle that I had bought here which smelt utterly delicious and i will have to stock up on some before they go off the shelves as they are only limited edition. But anyhow the other day the wick burnt out and I thought the container was too pretty to trow out so i decided to turn it into a brush holder.
To get the leftover wax out of the jar i put some cling film over the opening and put it in the freezer as this would make it less sticky and easier to crack apart. when I took it out of the freezer i just jabbed a knife into the wax and it gradually cracked into pieces. once your empty the remaining wax out all that is left is the metal part of the wick which was glued to the bottom so I got some hot water from the kettle poured it into the jar, swirled it around a few times and then using the same knife picked it off the bottom. i was then left with a clean jar.

The other day I was in a local home store when I came across little packs of star plant fillers, they were for half price as it was the christmas sale so I picked up two packs to put in my jar as i can never find plant filler ever.

So when I got home I filled up my jar and jabbed in my Makeup brushes and voilá I have a spanking new brush holder which was as cheap as chips.

I Hope you liked this DIY and you try it out at home!

My Everyday/ School Makeup

Hey Everyone,
Today I have decided to show you what make-up I use on a normal lazy day or when I am rushing to catch my bus to school.

I like to keep my make-up quite natural especially when I am at school so just to let you know there will be no mad colours here.

#1

First I like to start off with my base. I like to use the Catrice Cosmetics BB cream as it is one of the best BB creams I have tried yet.

#2

I then like to conceal over any blemishes i may have with the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer in shade 1.

#3

I like to give my eyes a little bit of colour so I apply the essence I <3 Stage Eye-shadow base which leaves a great nude colour on your lids.

#4

I like to fill in my brows with the Maybelline master shape brow pencil in shade Dark Blonde.

#5

I sometimes like to run across my top waterline to give more definition to my lashes with the essence long lasting eye pencil in shade 20 Hot Chocolate.

#6

After I curl my eyelashes instead of using a mascara I use the collection Extreme 24 Hour Felt Tip Liner in shade Black to lightly sweep onto my eyelashes the same way you use a mascara. I fell this gives a more natural look.

#7

I like to set my face using the Rimmel Stay Matte Powder in shade 006 warm Beige.

#8

Finally I like to use something like the MUA Kiss You Lip Polish in Niall Loves Cherry or Maybelline colour Sensational Popstick in shade 060 Citrus Slice to give a sweep of colour on my lips.

I hope you liked my blog post today. I may do a tutorial on this make up I still need to decide. Don't forget to follow my blog on Bloglovin to see my next posts.

My Make up- Night-time Edition

Hey Everyone,

Last Friday night I went to a local disco with my friends and while I was looking through my photos I noticed that it would make a great blog post to tell you what make up I used. I kept my make up quite neutral I didn't want to go too dramatic so I went for a slightly smoked eye and a pink lip.

To start off I primed my face with Catrice Cosmetics Prime and Fine face Primer.

I then used a mixture of Rimmel stay matte foundation in 300 and Rimmel lasting finish foundation in 200.

Then to cover up any blemishes or under-eye circles I used my collection Lasting Perfection concealer.

Once my base was finished I covered my whole eyelid in collection work the colour eye shadow pencil. Review

I then layered some Organza (left) all over my eyelid and then put Gift Basket (right) in my crease

both from the Sleek Oh So Special Palette.

I used my Collection gel eye-liner to line my lash line and water line.

Once I curled my eyelashes I put some Maybelline Rocket volume Express mascara.

I then filled in my eyebrows with my Maybelline master shape brow pencil.

Then I set them with the lighter shade in my essence eyebrow stylist set.

I then contoured my cheek bones with my MUA pressed powder in Shade 4.

I bronzed my skin with my Essence bronzing compact powder in 01 Bronzing queen.

I put some pink back into my cheeks with my Essence silky touch blush in 20 babydoll.

 I would then set my face with my Rimmel Stay Matte pressed powder in 006 warm beige.

To lightly line my lips I used No7 precision lip pencil in plum.

I then covered my whole lip area with my Rimmel lipstick in 006 pink blush.

Finally I coated my lips in a Barry M lip gloss and away I went.
