Happy Birthday Treena

Today is my sister's Birthday!

I'm so lucky to have a sister, I thank my lucky stars I was given a sister to grow up with. When she was born she was so ill and could have died and I couldn't imagine what my life would have been without my little sister, She always been the cool smart one and even though I am older I do sometimes look up to her for support like I'm the little one 

(technically I am the little one as I'm shorter than her ha)

She's one of the coolest people I know with awesome taste in music and fashion.

(Here she is singing Black Horse and a Cherry Tree)

Not only can she sing modern music but she can sing opera, we force her to sing high long notes because its just so so funny how she can do it!

 

She also writes her own music even from the age of 9 she was writing and recording music, Mostly about how annoying her sister was! "She's my sister" written about me was a famous song in our house the chorus was - 

She's my sister and sometimes I hate her

and sometime is right now

but sometimes she's okay 

but that doesn't mean I like her anyway

Oh oh my sister!

It's actually extremely catchy when you hear it and we still sing it sometimes! 

Here is an original by her, it's actually the first video 

I ever edited way before youtube even existed. 

She has also been in a few of my video too, I love working on her because it's always really funny she's never stop talking and knows so much about fashion and makeup - 

Here is one of my favourite looks I did on her!

Here's to you sister sue! I love you!!

Babe, what's up with your face?

Babe, what's up with your face??

Last week I broke out in a few blemishes on my cheek and laugh lines. It's pretty typical of me to break out here specially when I don't stick to my skincare routine (More on that tomorrow) but this break out took so long to heal and I was getting a little tired of it so I used my extra strong spot cream - Avene TriAcneal cream. 

This stuff is serious, it does one of two things - 

Brings the spot the surface to you can remove it carefully or reducing the size and allows it to fade over time with a peeling effect which removes the old layer of the skin to reduce scarring. 

But there is a problem - 

I AM THE MOST IMPATIENT PERSON EVER! 

I use it at night only and it usually works but me being impatient decided to use it morning and night and any time I felt like it really...

To quote my favourite movie - Big mistake, huge! 

Woke up with this orange, peeling, red mess to which my bf says - 

Babe, what's up with your face?

My skin looks greasy in the picture due the cream I was wearing but you can see the orange staining, The cream turns orange on contact and the redness is a dry rash, the skin is so tight and on my chin you can just about see the flakey skin - Horrible!

I stopped using the spot treatment (obviously) and I keep the skin clean and to deal with the flakiness and dryness I am using Elizabeth Arden 8 hour Cream. Works a treat! 

Best advice I can give anyone is be patient!

Hope that explains why you can only see half my face in my new video:

I didn't want to miss an upload but I couldn't wear makeup on the other side. Oh well! :/

Makeup Lesson

5 Easy Ways to Add Colour to Your Makeup

1: Blush
For some of us blush is the only colour we use on our faces and I got asked easier this week - 
"What is the point of blush"
Well as the name suggests blush is there to mimic blushing which gives us a healthy glowing look for those of us (Like me) who can look very pale and tired without adding it.

(Not always a bad thing - I used to get sent home from school a lot because I looked "Terrible pale")

2: Blush as Eyeshadow

When I trained with a runway model makeup artist years ago, she told me how she would always brush a little blush or lipstick into the crease of the eyes to match the cheeks and or lips, its a brilliant way to bring a look together and at the moment I LOVE it! 

3: Lipstick

Lipstick is an easy way to add colour, and can make anyone look extra special! I love my reds or berry tones, they make me feel fancy but lipstick can also bring out your eye colour 

Check out my video here if you don't know what I mean:

4: Smudged Eyeshadow

Take your favourite colour of eyeshadow something you never have the confidence to wear on your lid and smudge it under your eyes instead, its fun, easy and a great way to go from the office to a night out in seconds! 

5: Subtle Eyeshadow

If you find colourful eye makeup all too much but you are tired of your basic brown eye makeup just add a touch of colour on the center of your basic eye makeup and blend outwards. Great way to match your dress or accessories!

Let's Glow

I'm loving HIGHLIGHTER at the moment, I think no matter how bad you look or feel a little glow can make it all better (Silly I know!)

The Balm MARY Lou Manizer 

I saw this online in a few makeup tutorials and I loved it! I put it on my "to get" list right away! I actually thought it was a creme highlighter (Which by the way would be awesome) But I later found out it's a powder and a pretty (Very Pretty) awesome one! 

http://www.thebalm.com/mary-lou-manizer.html

Sleek Contour Kit

The Sleek Contour Kit, I dunno how many times I have used this in videos! It's one of the best products I have ever owned. It has a matte bronzer, which is brilliant for contour the face and it's slightly larger than the highlighter which makes sense seeing as you apply bronzer on more of the face and use a large brush (Thank you Sleek for thinking of that) 

It also comes in three different shade - Light, medium, dark. Perfect!

Makeup lesson

A Beginner's Guide to Eye Makeup

From using primer, picking brushes, choosing eye shadows

Let’s start with primer

Primers help your eyeshadow last longer and prevent oils from crease the shadows

Or could use your concealer or foundation as a base and set it with powder to help your

eyeshadow last longer, it’s the old fashion way!

Brushes

(The only one you need)

http://www.blankcanvascosmetics.com/products/e26-flat-shader-lay-down-brush.html

Flat brush, great for apply eyeshadows to the lid and lining the lash line with the flat tip.

http://www.blankcanvascosmetics.com/products/e23-short-pencil.html

A small smudger/pencil brush for detailed work 

(You can use this to smudge your eyeliner)

http://www.blankcanvascosmetics.com/products/e24-blending-brush.html

My FAVOURITE!! This applies and blends! I LOVE this! Get it, Try it, I know you will love it as much as I do! 

http://www.blankcanvascosmetics.com/products/e25-26-blending-duo.html

The duo blender! Use one side for blending dark shades and one to blending light shades!

Eyeshadows come is a different textures, tone and shades it can be kind of confusing

But you really only need 3-4 shades to create a basic eye makeup look

One highlighter, which should be at least one shade lighter than your skin

You can also use your facial highlighter which is a great way to bring your look together.

(It can also be matte)

One MATTE mid tone, this will help to blend your eye makeup softly Try using your matte bronzer if you can't find one.  

Dark Contour, this should be at least two shades darker than your skin this adds shapes and shadows.

(This can be matte or shimmer)

Makeup for Beginners

Hello my Beginner friends, 

So many of you have asked for a few easy eye makeup tutorials. 

So I picked two classic looks that can be adapted in so many ways.

The First is a classic smokey eye, 

This works great for lots of eye shapes including those with uneven lids (as it's easier to hide) Eyes with little definition (as it creates a shape) and overly large eyes (as it can make the eyes smaller)

The Second is a classic smokey crease,

This works on almost everyone including close set, deep set, hooded, Asian and average eye shapes.

If you master both of these techniques there is no end to the amount of looks you can do. I want you to try out both at the same time just like I did, to work out which works best for you. 

Stay beautiful my friends,

 Sinead xoxo

Oh and my hair was done using this tutorial 

Mini Rimmel Haul

Rimmel Haul & Swatches

In my recent youtube haul I showed some new products I picked up from Rimmel & as promised here are the swatches.

Rimmel Apocalips Big Bang                                                   Rimmel Apocalips Nova

When I saw Lily Collins on the cover of Glamour I was desperate to find a similar red and I think "Big Bang" is the perfect colour, With a subtle hint of pink this red is exactly what I was looking for.  

And as I am not one to pass on a bargain, I picked this second colour up as it was "buy one get one half price" This rose pink is the perfect summer colour!  

Moving on....

If you saw my nail tutorial you would have seen me apply these mint coloured fake nails and I love this colour, so when I was in boots I check out every brand to find this shade, Barry M and Max Factor have a pretty close dupe but I had to go with Rimmel and I think it worked out really well.  

I painted my middle finger with this Peppermint shade and though it is a little darker its a pretty good match, little tip use a lighter top coat if you want it to be a perfect match. 

and once again it was "buy one get one half price" so I picked up the new Flex mascara, both Rimmel and Maybelline have create this coat by coat smooth finish mascara. Apparently you can keep applying this mascara without drying out your lashes I have yet to try it out.

....anyone else think this looks like the rather famous Benefit mascara wand???

Youtube Fail!

Thanks Youtube, Thanks. :/

Fat Vs Curvy

In my recent video I talked about body image. I spoke about my own negative body image and the research I have done on the subject but one thing that I said has got some people pretty annoyed.

I don't like the word "fat" to describe someones weight. 

We all have fat on our bodies, we can't live without fat storage, so at what point do you decide that that fat is noteworthy. At what point does someone become so called "fat" I don't think its a healthy word to use to describe someone.

I have been called "Fat" and it sticks with you, doesn't matter how much weight I lose, I can still hear - "You're fat" 

Once you get told you're fat it's hard to find the right balance, its hard to see when you aren't fat any more or when you may have taken your obsession to not be fat too far. 

Fat is a dangerous word to use to describe someone, one persons idea of fat might be very different to another person that is why I do not use it. 

We should love ourselves regardless of size, weight or height. 

Be healthy, and be happy,

much love, Sineady x
