DIY: Make Your Own Smashbox Primer Water

Smashbox Primer water is literally in every makeup artist’s kit. It makes your foundation glide on like butter (but not greasy). It’ll also keep your makeup in place all day long!

AND this DIY formula will be a huge benefit for anyone with acne-prone skin because of the all natural and anti-bacterial ingredients we’ll use in the primer water.

The actual primer water costs $32 and you can make this at home for only $10. The ingredients are really accessible. You won’t need no leaves from the amazon jungle. You’ll probably find the ingredients in your pantry. So read more for the tutorial… (more…)

How to Get That Summer Glow

We all want that bronzy, glowy, goddess-like glow. So here’s my quick and short routine to achieve that summer look.

Here’s my bare face. I only have my foundation, concealer and eyebrows on. I used Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation in the shade 57, Maybelline’s Fit Me concealer in shade 25 and Rimmel’s Eye brow pencil and clear Brow Gel.

On the left side I put my highlighter on normally with a brush. And on the right side I put the highlighter on with some tips tricks to get the max glow out of it.

1) Always use a highlighter that is gold based. I used MUA’s Undress Your Skin Shimmer Highlighter in ‘Iridescent Gold’. It is an exact dupe of Nar’s ‘Albatross’ highlighter. It has very fine gold shimmer in it and looks really natural yet glowy. I swatched it for you guys below 🙂

I promise it’s not white like it looks in the photo below. It has a very fine gold glow to it. The camera doesn’t do the justice 🙁

2) Spray your brush with Mac fix+ or any other setting spray. This will make a huge difference because it will intensify the glow without looking oily. I NEVER apply highlighter without spraying my brush with Mac Fix+. Even professional makeup artists swear by this trick!

3) Use a cream highlighter and then set it with a powder highlighter. This will prevent your cheeks from looking cakey.. even though you’re applying two highlighters. This is because they creams always give a nice, smooth base for the powders. So this will actually give you a natural and intense glow. As a cream highlighter I used Seventeen’s Instant Glow Skin Wow Tan.

Use all the steps above to rocks those cheekbones and work the glow! I always get compliments on how my skin looks healthy.. but in reality I just know how to get that glow on 😉

Hope you girls like this tutorial and let me know if you want more of the makeup tutorials or keep to it the natural DIY stuff xx

DIY: How to Make ANY Lipstick Matte

make any lipstick matte

Matte lip products are the biggest trend right now! Thanks to Kylie Jenner this trend is really popular in the beauty industry and personally I love matte lipsticks. It reminds me of the 90’s.

Sometimes I REALLY want to buy a lip product with the perfect shade but I don’t buy it just because it’s not matte. And I have a TON of lipsticks that are beautiful but they aren’t matte so they are just hanging at the back of my drawer. But not anymore because this little tip to matt-ify ANY lipstick works wonders.

Check out my previous post for more beauty tips: Make Your Hair/Make up Last All Day

3 Day to Night Outfit Ideas for Winter

Hi my lovely angels! Do you have those days in winter when its super cold but you can’t figure out what to wear because it will all be buried under layers of coats and jumpers? Especially those nights when you want to go out and have fun but don’t want to freeze in short bodycon dresses.. Well here’s some inspiration for you xx

I am featuring one of my beautiful friends, Stecy because I LOVED her outfit and she is so gorgeous so I thought to capture her outfit in this post 🙂

1) This is a perfect winter daytime look. You can throw on a long, nude jacket as well. Even the color is perfect for winter time! And because it has long sleeves it will keep you warm.

Dress – Forever 21

Boots – Fabio Dericci (in St Stephen’s Green Mall if you live in Ireland)

2) I am obsessed with nudes this winter and I LOVE pairing the outfit with nude heels so I got a bit carried away and wore the same heels in both outfits haha I am sure we all went through that kind of obsession right?

I kept my hair simple by adding just a few waves with my straightener. Yes I curl my hair with a straightener!! Everyone has crazy beauty tricks 😉

Nude t-shirt and White jumper – Primark

Normal black leggings – Forever 21

Heels – Unfortunately I don’t remember. I bought them a long time ago but you can pair this outfit with any nude heels of your choice 🙂

3) This is the outfit I would wear if I were to have a night out with some of my girl friends. Lately I have been so into lace tops and lace tights. AND the top is nude so of course I had to wear it 🙂

The last photo shows the makeup I did on that day. It’s very simple with all matte shades using my Urban Decay’s Naked 2 palette (available in Debenhams, Ireland) and on my lips I had Sleek’s Matte Me Lip Cream in ‘Birthday Suit’.

Top and Shorts – HnM

Lace tights – Primark

Natural Dupes of Mac Fix Plus

We all know how popular is the Mac Fix Plus but what if there are some alternatives that are beneficial for our skin, much cheaper and 100% natural. Some people even complain about the chemical smell that fix plus gives. Well try these alternatives and I guarantee you’ll never go back to the fix plus.

I have tried all the alternatives and both worked really well for me.

Give them all a try and see which works the best for your skin 🙂

Here are the links of the brands I use of both alternatives:

Avene Thermal Spring Water (Available in Boots)

Nature’s Aid Rose Water (Available in Holland and Barrett and Health Store)

DIY: Boost Eyebrow / Lash Growth Naturally

We all had those days when we over-plucked our eyebrows and ended up with sharp and straight lines of hair that are barely visible.

Lucky for you girls now that I am sharing with you an easy DIY which will give your brows length and volume. It works just as great for eyelashes too. You won’t need false eyelashes and expensive brow liners after this.

I wish I had an older sister to give me a perfect solution in those awkward situations.. sigh*

This DIY is inexpensive, super easy and quick. You can call it ‘Brow/Lash Growth Serum‘. Give it a fancy name to make it more magical because let’s admit it.. if some lotion potion can grow my eyebrows and eyelashes, it’s pretty magical!

And all you need is 2 ingredients
