Good evening ya wee beauty's = )

I hope you all had an awesome Christmas!!!

Between Urban Decay, and freelancing and giving people brows I haven't had minute to put thumbs to phone, or fingers to keyboard ! 

So here we go with just a quick wee post of how amazing these lashes are!

I started stocking the gorgeous Fat Lash Mink lashes, I never

Thought of actually stocking them until I saw every salon in Belfast starting to get them in so I figured I'd jump on and be the first in the Ballymena Area to stock them! 

It's all about me 

Pretty little lash

Little black lash

fluff it !

These are the lash of all lashes, they are ethically sourced and cruelty free! Which is really important to me!

These little beauties can only be used with duo glue (so I've been told, so just incase go with it cause I would hate for you to damage them) 

They retail @ £25 but can be worn up to 25 times!! To be fair if you really take care of them they will last you longer :) 

Here's a few pics of these babies in action! In these photos I'm wearing, little black lash and it's all about me! 

Just a few different pics for you ! 

I don't think I could ever wear synthetic lashes again! They are so light and easy to wear too!

You gotta try them!

This my girl Chey-nay-nay...

Otherwise know as Cheyenne;

First I'll do a little get to know...

I met this girl A few years a go when I worked in Exhibit(yes, Exhibit in Ballymena, Hay!) And our two shops collided out back, where we would gather for the odd chit chat. 

Then when I decided I needed to do my make up course as I have wanted to since I was 16 and always found a way out of it, I asked her to be a model for me... And the rest is history! 

Not only did I gain a gorgeous face to paint (haha)I ended up with a great friend. This girl is amazing <3

Now, Please look at this beauty all dolled up by yours truly...

<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3

<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3

Seriously THOUGH * Drools.

I need her to let me do her make up everyday.

So... What we did;

Brows - Draw them on with Anastasia Beverly Hills Dip brow,

Sculpt them with concealer, I use Naked Skin (Fair/Neutral) Urban Decay.

Eyes - I taped the side, making sure both were as even as possible, And went into the crease with a burnt orange demi-matte by Urban Decay called Riff. Then for the rest I used the Naked Basics Pallet by Urban Decay. Black Eyeliner is maybelline lasting drama Gel liner matte.

Foundation - Mac Studio Fix, Contour Anastasia Beverly Hills contour Kit (powder) and Setting Spray (All nighter Urban Decay).

Lips - Media By MAC

Hope you like the make up on this little babe!

. THAT | C O N T O U R | THOUGH .

Hey dolls!

So last week I went to two completely different master classes about contouring and Christmas make up! 

First class was @ MNX pro in Belfast held by Rachel Ferran (contouring class)

Rachel contours a different way to how I was originally taught: to contour under your foundation.

It's absolutely stunning/flawless but takes a long time & we don't always have time to contour this way! 

Steps-

Brows / Eyes

Contour / Foundation 
Don't forget to Bake

   This was the outcome on the model that Rachel used/ photos here were taken from the MNX pro Facebook page. So gorgeous and so talented!! How stunning is this look? 

Genuinely my favorite salon in the country- they're make up is so amazing and I'll be putting the tips to practice that were shown at the class! 

Second class was @ LMD salon in Portglenone held by Louise McDonnell and her sister Michaela. (Christmas make up) 

LMD is an extremely well established salon in N.Ireland, totally taking over the make up scene with her super glamazon looks!

So naturally I wanted to do a class here to see how she does it. 

And again, her style is totally different from any other I've seen... This makes me happy because everyone has such a different style/ way of getting the end result of contouring / glam. 

So this is the finished look, Louise started with brows and eyes too, then quite heavenly applied foundation, then went in with a cream contour on top which are her own palettes, then powder contours on top to set, with some of her own palettes and MAC :) 

I think we can all agree this is gorgeous!! 

At the start I thought it was going to look really heavy, but it was totally stunning! I love love love this look! And using pigments on the eyes! I'm excited to play!

Now below are some selfies of my attempt at a slightly different contouring technique I took from Rachel's class! And playing with some MAC pigments on the eyes <3

Here I've done a mix between rachel's contour technique and a few things I learned from Jamie Genvieve.. which really was that it's totally okay to highlight like there's no tomorrow !!! haha!

I am obsessed with this look and sticking a lotta glitter in your eye! Soooo nice and Christmassy 

:) 

As for this look, I've used the same contour techniques and used the tape technique to get the sharp eye, which lmd uses as well as a lot of famous YouTubers to get that sharp sharp line. And I've used MAC Purple pigments on the eyes  <3

If I haven't said it already, I'm obsessed with pigments right now!

(laughface)

My dad say's I'm like your man from the goonies...

ANYWAY, it's CHRISTMAS TIME!!!!!! 

That means... Well for me anyway... TAN TIME.

*Sighs.

I'm part Greek so I'm naturally a little swarthy, and to the normal Northern Irish woman, I'm at least a shade or two darker.... UNTIL THEY GET THEIR TAN ON!  Like literal, fake, smelly, sticky tan.

So this makes THIS half Greek/half french Canadian/ half Croatian/ Northern Irish... Really it should be Quarters at this stage... (But you get my drift)Look REALLY PALE.

I hate fake tan... For these reason.

1.Sticky

2.Smelly

3.Tango'd

4.Streaks  

5.Fake

(because there's enough fake about me as it is between lashes and nails lol And I like having a realllll tannn... WHERE IS THE SUN NOTHERN IRELAND??? WHY DONT YOU GIVE US SEASONS!?? Eugh!) 

 ...

So... If I must use a tan... THIS. This right here Is your winner!

I think This is legit because it's coming from a tan hater. I've used them all, because I have been searching for a non-sticky non-smelly non-streaky tan since I knew it was a thing. 

VITA LIBERTATA pHenomenal 

2-3 week tan mousse 

(dark) 

Photo taken from google images

This bad boy, maybe doesn't last for 3 weeks.... BUT it fades SO naturally there are NO STREAKS and no patchy-ness whatsoever! it's actually my God-send tan! it's a bit pricey @ £37.50 (eeeeek) But No cheap tans will do. If you think you don't smell.. YOU DO!!!! 

Unless you use this one...

This one actually doesn't smell.

 I know I'm not delusional about that because my insanely blunt husband (ew as if I can say 'husband') would tell me I'm stinkin' Rotten if it was

 (or to all you Americans/Canadians out there, Stinky/Smelly, but I'm sure you got it...) After all he is my back tan applicator! lol!!!

I'll be applying some of this today and tomorrow so that I'm looking sweeeettt for my Christmas night out... Hopefully after the blog. I haven't used tan in a year. Awkward. 

BUT if you want this bad boy... It is still half price is Debehams!! You're welcome :)  

And if its not half price anymore... it's 15% off.. Every little helps as our friends at Tesco's say..

(I'll get some tan pics up to follow over the next few days)
