Nail Of The Day 💅!

Hey guys!
So the other day I posted a picture on Instagram of my nails and I loved them! I think they are so festive and think they are so pretty :) so the polish I used was by Sally Hanson! And I used two different shades, 'Diamonds' and 'Diamonds & Rubies', I put diamonds and rubies on first and then after that was dry I then put on diamonds on top :)

My Christmas Dress & Shoes

Hey Guys!
I know its early but I've already got my Christmas outfit all picked out, I just have one more thing to get and its complete. I thought I would just do a blog post to show you it in detail instead of just posting it on instagram!


Ok so for the dress I just kept it really simple and got a really plain black dress from H&M and its so inexpensive! Only £14.99 I thought I would go plain on the dress and dress it up with accessories! 



 I got this really long necklace from.. and i really like it, its just simple and i think it really adds to the dress!
 This was from New Look and was only £6!

 I am in love with these shoes! I don't have much wedged shoes but i like wearing them for special occasions! They are just plain black peep toe wedges with a gold zipper detail! These shoes are from New Look and were £25


I got this Cream belt with gold chain links, which ties in with all the other accessories! I really like this and i think it really completes the whole look of the dress! This was £5 from New Look


Ok so that's my outfit so far, i just need a few more things, I need some sort of cardigan or blazer because its going to be really cold and I don't want to freeze to death! I also need tights, but I don't know if I should go with black tights because that might be a bit too much black..what do you think?
Ok so that's my outfit, I just got it today so if anyone was thinking of getting anything i showed, they should still be in shops!!

LUSH - Grease Lightning

Hey Guys, today I'm going to talk about the 'Lush Grease Lightning Spot Treatment' !
So if you guys don't know what this product is, its a treatment for pimples etc, it comes in the form of a gel and contains tea tree and witch hazel, and your supposed to use this when you feel a zit/pimple before they come to the surface!
First off I'm just going to say that i like this product! When i first used it for the first few times i really didn't like it and i thought i wasn't going to use it, i was putting too much of the gel in one area, and it was feeling really weird on my skin, like if i smiled it felt like it was 'cracking' on my skin, but soon i realised that i should have been using a smaller amount on my skin, but you still feel like your skin has been tightened when you have this product on!
I feel like this works to a certain extent, i think it really helps with redness of the skin, alot but sometimes it doesn't always keep a spot from coming and doesn't really do much at all if you already have an active breakout, but i still find myself using this frequently because it has a really refreshing feel to it and does help with the odd zit! 
I think that i would repurchase this product again, but i would like to try and see if there is any better products than this on the market before going back to this. I wouldn't call this a holy grail product but i feel that it gives you more of  a peace of mind effect.
I have been using this product for a few months now and it really lasts a long time cause you really only need a thin layer of the product!
Ill link the product here and you can go check it out for yourself! (and no this was not sent to me for free or for review, i bought it myself!)
Also leave suggestions for blog posts!

How I Deal With Haters

Hey Guys,
So today I wanted to talk about something that I always get asked, 'how I deal with haters'. 
I get asked this question so much, and I've never really talked about it because there isn't really that much too it!
All i usually do is delete any of the hate comments i get and block the user. I think that this is the best way to deal with the problem because if you don't block the person they are just going to keep leaving bad comments on your videos.
Also people always wonder if they ever make me upset and no, it literally goes straight over my head, if they think an anonymous comment over the internet is going to put me down they can think again haha!
People always comment on my appearance, usually saying 'you wear too much makeup' or 'your teeth are terrible', and first off, if people think i wear too makeup they must have never seen someone my age walking around the mall, i know people that wear full on black makeup and black lipsticks and winged liners (and heels) at my age and people think i wear too much makeup haha! and who are they to tell me that i'm wearing to much makeup, its my face i can decide what i thinks to much makeup for me!
And i know some people are going to say its constructive criticism, and i can deal with someone saying something in a polite way, but if someone is going to call me 'ugly' or 'stupid' then im just going to block them! Simple as :)
So the main point is that i don't ever really acknowledge the haters because it's not worth it and replying to them is only going to give them what they want and that is to get to you, and i know i sometimes reply but i usually say something like 'there is no need to tell me this' or something like this anyway i would never go and reply saying something nasty back because two wrongs don't make a right! 
well anyway thats my brief opinion on the subject, i didn't cover everything but maybe i could do a video on this topic if you guys would like that?
let me know :) 
thanks,

Furry Friend Tag!

Hey Guys! 
So today I'm going to be doing the furry friend tag which is just a list of questions about your pet!


Questions!

1. What is your pets name?

    Reina (Spanish & means 'Queen'!)

2. What kind of pet is it and what breed?
     She's a dog. She is half Labrador and half Red Setter! 

3. How long have you had your pet?
    About Three and a Half Years, ever since she was a puppy!

4. How did you get your pet?

     Ok, so ever since my older brother was young, he wanted a dog, and my  parents were always like 'no, it's too much work blah blah blah' and he kept on asking, then when we moved to Ireland he was still asking and they finally gave in! So they were searching online and stuff for dogs and we were going to adopt another dog from a dog pound which was a collie and was a few years old, but then my mom's friend told her that her friend from work had a dog that just had pups and said we could have one! She lived on a farm and the dogs were kept in a barn! We went to see them and we were looking at all the pups (there was like 8) some were black some were red, then my mom picked up one and it had this really cute face and had really distinct facial markings and she said to my brother that he should get this one and everyone agreed, so he picked it! The dogs were too young at this stage so we had to wait a few weeks until we could take it home, but after a few weeks we went back and collected her! 
This is her the first night we got her! She was so small!! <3

5. How old is your pet?
    Reina is 3 and a half! her birthday is the 11th of January.

6. What are some quirky things about your pets personality?
    She is obsessed with rocks, like OBSESSED. It's all she ever thinks about and she always wants you to throw them for her which isn't good because they're starting to ruin her teeth so we're trying to get her out of that habit! 

7. What does your relationship with your pet mean to you?
    I honestly don't know how i could live without her! Life would be so boring, she is part of the family and is just the cutest thing ever and makes you laugh because she's so silly!

8. What are some of your favorite past times with your pet?
    Well she loves to go walks and she gets walked everyday, also i just like to sit beside her and pet her and sometimes she falls asleep beside which is just adorable!

9. What nicknames do you call your pet?
    She doesn't have any nicknames!

Well thats all the questions and i hope you enjoyed this blog post! :)

$20 Makeup Challenge!!!


Hi guys, currently I am in France!! But I uploaded my new video '$20 Makeup Challenge' and I wanted to do a more in-depth review on the products I bought for the video!
I wasn't expecting these products to be the best things out there but thought some of them would be OK. I was pleased with some of them and not with others!





 This is the blush i got and it was quite cheap £3.09 and I actually really like this blush! the color is so nice and I wasn't expecting it to be that pigmented and when applied with a brush you can see the two tones in it really well and it turns out so pretty. I don't like the packaging on it however, the lid just pushes down over it and doesn't screw on so if you were travelling with this and it cracked it would likely spill over everything!




 This lipgloss is another product that i really enjoy, it's such a nice color and smells really nice, it's very pigmented and the packaging is nice enough aswell! And it was only £2.99!! The downside of this lipgloss is that it's a little sticky and your hair can get stuck in it sometimes. 


 Thought that this eyeshadow trio was ok, not amazing but ok. The color pay off was good in the darkest shade and in the highlight shade but the all over the lid colour wasn't the greatest. This was the most expensive product and was £6.49

 I did not like this mascara, it did nothing to my lashes apart from darken them, but it didn't add volume or length, I wasn't expecting it to be amazing either because it was only £1.99. It's very basic and would be handy if you were on holiday and lost your makeup bag and needed to get something cheap just for the time being? 
Didn't really like this foundation either.. the coverage was light-medium if not just light. It definitely doesn't last up to 14 hours either and was just too sheer, but perfect if you don't like wearing heavy foundation and wan't something to reduce redness and uneven skin tone maybe? This was only £3.99
