Take A Peek Inside My Make-Up Bag!

There's nothing better than snooping through someone's make-up bag-which is why I made this video! Here's what I'm carrying at the moment, hope you enjoy! :) ...

Oh those famous beauty myths, leading women astray for centuries. We've all been guilty of fretting about how we do most things beauty related, for fear of our eyebrows falling off, or our eyes turning yellow, or silly things like that. Here are some of the most famous myths busted, so you don't have to waste time worrying anymore :) SHAVING YOUR LEGS MAKES HAIR GROW BACK QUICKER EHHH!! This...

I Seriously Love Orange Is The New Black

Hello everyone! Hope you're having a fantastic day and I hope it's not lashing out of the heavens for you like it is here. For those of you who have Netflix, you've probably seen or heard something about this show. I started watching it a while ago and it's just brilliant. A little risqué I guess, but it's not a family show anyway so who cares! It centres around Piper Chapman, who commited a crime...

Aw yay! My nail's are finally growing and it's all thanks to Perfectil! If you don't know already, Perfectil are amazing.

Check Out My Fake Beauty Blender..Hehe!

Hey there peoples! Something arrived for me in the post today which I completely forgot about-I got a fake beauty blender! Are they capital letters for beauty blender? Who knows hehe! It took aages to get here but it's finally arrived and I love it! No offense to the beauty blender peeps but they're just a little pricey for my liking. I got the replica online (they're pretty much all the same) and...

I Dyed My Hair Again..

Oh nooo, Soph dyed her hair again! Hehe :) If you know me, you'll know I have a serious problem with just wanting something and going for it, which is why I dyed my hair yesterday! I think I just prefer bright funky colours-they're so much fun! The dye I used is called Olia by Garnier and I really recommend it. It's brilliant! My hair feels lovely after using it and it's so shiny! It was on offer in 2 chemists yesterday, so I presume you can find it on offer too! It could be a really good option...

I Got Myself Some Hair Thickening Shampoo!

Happy day after V-Day everyone! I hope you all had an amazing day, night or whatever it may have been. For some strange reason I love going shampoo shopping. I figured out years ago that the L'Oreal Elvive collection are amazing and also almost a dupe for the Kerastase range! I found a thickening shampoo today which I've been in the market for with a while. I've been looking at loads online...

Hello peeps! There'll be Valentine's posts coming up later on, but for now let's just talk about this. I've been hearing loads about this new trend; taking selfies with homeless people, and I mean...this is just so weird! I wouldn't mind if it was to raise awareness or something like that but I really doubt most people are doing it for that reason. The pictures I've seen where the homeless...

Just A Quick Confession..

Looking back 2 years, and I can't believe how much things have changed! If you asked me 2 years ago if I would write a blog or make a YouTube channel, I would have said no way! I was way less confident back then, and I used to really doubt myself. Of course everyone has moments of self doubt but I used to be so much worse! I never really thought about starting a blog but I've always wanted to start...

Castor Oil, Vaseline And Eyelash Growth Myths

Hello there peeps! I'm sure most of us wish our lashes were a teeny bit longer. Why else would we all go looking for mascara that promises 10 times the length? There's lots and lots of eyelash growth myths out there, which I'm gonna talk about today! Coconut Oil/Castor Oil These guys are really good for your lashes, don't get me wrong, but they'll only give the IMPRESSION of longer lashes. Both oils will make lashes look more conditioned and fuller, but they wont have a lasting effect. Vaseline Some...

Pretty Valentine's Make-Up Look!

My oh my, it's a brand new video! If anyone's stuck for V-Day make-up ideas, come check this out! Hopefully you'll like it! I know my brows are terrible right now haha, I just forgot to fix them up! The camera quality is awful also, but there's not a whole lot we can do about it folks! The brush I used for the most part was the No.7 blending brush, just make sure to blend out harsh lines...

Hello there everyone! Hope you're having an amazing Monday, even if you're really annoyed that the weekend's come and gone again! I had been getting the NYC Big Bold Mascara for about 2 years and I loved it. I made a switch to L'Oreal Telescopic about a year ago, but I had been hearing a lot about NYC Big Bold Volume again and thought, oo I really miss that mascara! I went off to purchase it and...

If You Wanna Know A Little Bit About Me..

Hello everyone! Hope you're having an amazing evening whatever you happen to be doing! Here's my new video, I hope you enjoy it! Thanks so much for watching-such a random video haha! Soph :) x&nbs...

If you're looking for something to do today, you might like my rainy day post which you can check out riiight here! Who can resist Nutella? It is just so perfect and delicious. I happen to be one of those people who could eat a few spoons right out of the jar-it's the main ingredient in Ferrero...

What's The Fascination With High End Products??

Hey peeps-happy Friday! Random post ahead, but it's just something I wanted to talk about. One thing I really don't understand, is some people's obsession with only high end make-up. Don't get me wrong, there are some high end products that are amazing and worth the hype, but I don't understand why so many beauty guru's ONLY use high end in their videos! They say they want to help people but a lot of the time it just leaves me thinking; "most people can't afford all this stuff, and they're going...

And even if you don't want to buy it right now, I have a recipe for a homemade primer, right here. So let's get to it!

How To Pluck Your Brows Minus The Pain!

For those of us who wince at the thought of plucking our brows, there's a tip that can make life so much easier! I used to use an ice cube to numb the brow before plucking, but I didn't find this helped all that much. What to use instead? A normal old facecloth! (You might know these as washcloths if you live in America :) ) All you have to do is warm up the cloth by holding it under warm water for a few seconds. Wring it dry and then hold it to your eyebrow for about 2 minutes. The...

It's a really unique product that will leave you looking flawless while cancelling out redness. It's a tad expensive...

How To Get Pretty Glam Eyes

Glam eyes are so pretty and really simple to do! All you need is some shimmery, gloss based eyeshadows, and some maybe some cream shimmer if you like! This look also calls for some fake eyelashes if you'd like, especially since it's mainly for going out and special occasions! Here's a video I did for the look, you can check it out if you're interested! The main thing to remember is, don't use too many colours because you don't want it to get muddy, and make sure your brushes are clean...

We all know how annoying fake lashes can be. Sometimes they go on perfectly, without any trouble, but sometimes they're our worst enemy! I drew a little guide on how to apply them, so hopefully you wont have to panic before putting them on. And enjoy! Hope this helped a little guys! I promise they're not as bad as they might seem and they're not really annoying to wear either! Have fun! Soph...

Why I Started A YouTube Channel

I've been having so much fun doing my YouTube channel-even though it's only been 2 weeks! I uploaded my first video sometime around January, and then I kinda stopped for a while. The whole reason I started this channel, without sounding cheesy, is to show people you don't need really fancy, high end make-up to look nice! The most expensive make-up I have is my Naked Palette, and I know nearly everyone has that anyway! I have so much pharmacy make-up that's just as good as high end, and I'm gonna...

Aahhh it's so rainy! If you haven't heard already, we're sinking here in Ireland. It is sooo rainy and there be floods everywhere! I have a feeling we're gonna be stuck inside for a long time, so here a few things you could get up to instead of just looking out the window waiting for it to stop, or refreshing your Facebook feed every five minutes. These guys have the right idea. via Read...

Do Squats Really Work?

Yes they do, and much quicker than you might think! They're one of the most important exercises you can do. They might just sound like a myth from the exercise world, but they really will help to tone and shape your bum, and work almost every muscle in your body. While I know there are people who are gifted with perfect derrieres, for some of us, it requires a little work. Here's a simple exercise...

Hello ladies! I looove jewellery-especially Grecian style necklaces!I wear lots of jewellery though, I have my ears pierced 6 times and they're always sporting multiple perdy earrings haha! Jewellery can really jazz up the most simple outfits, so if you're ever stuck with something you find just a tad boring-go routing in your room and throw some on! Those Grecian style necklaces are all the rage...

The Naked palettes are without a doubt Urban Decay's most famous products-and for good reason! They've created palettes that suit every eye colour, every skin tone, and you can get so many make-up looks with them! So here's the dilemma: which one is the best? To be honest, it's really a matter of choice. Naked 1 This is a warm brown, shimmery based palette. The colours are so pretty together...

Glam Eyes Tutorial!

GLAM EYES LOOK New video guys! Hope you like it! To create this look I used my Maybelline Silk Glam quad, and Soap And Glory Mascara. The colour didn't come out too well since my camera's so bad but hopefully you can get the idea! I really like this look because it can be toned down with just a dust of powder, or made more dramatic with a touch more dramatic colour in the crease. If you like it, I'd love to do more tutorials like this-just let me know! Thanks for watching! x You May...

Avatar Makeup-Neytiri

A newww video! Woop! This quality is soo bad and I apologise for that-it was way more bright in person! The face paints I used for this look were snazaroo, they're really some of the best I used! It's kind of hard to explain how I did this look in writing, so you can just watch the video if you're interested :D Remember to let each coat dry for a little while before you apply another too! I hope you guys like this look guys and please let me know what you think! Soph :) You May Also Like:...
