Hey Guys,

Hope your all having a nice morning.

 So getting back to reality has definitely hit me with a bang this week, Back to work on both youtube and my actual job as well as housework and clothes washing urgh!! So things have been a little CRAZY.... It's tough being a woman ha! On a positive note tho It's been great to get back into filming again, because I filmed so far ahead before my holiday, I haven't actually filmed in about 6 weeks.

Sinead called down last week and we filmed 2 very fun videos that will be going live tomorrow instead of today's video. I have also filmed some hauls for you guys and also filming a tutorial today which is well OVERDUE, I'm then heading over to my parents house for some family time <3

MakeupBySaz Masterclass Cork

Good Morning, 

So If you follow me on any social media you know that I held my first ever masterclass in Debenhams, Patricks Street, Cork on Friday with Benefit Cosmetics.

I'll be honest with you guys I was so nervous my legs were like jelly and I was shaking, Public Speaking has always been my biggest fear BUT I DID IT!!! 

In school I was always very shy and kept so myself.....little did I know that a few years down the line I'd be standing in front of 40 people talking about makeup!! 

My biggest tip to anyone in the same boat is to just believe in yourself and sometimes you have to just feel the fear and do it anyway.

I created a very simple dewy fresh summer look something that everyone would be able to go home and re-create. The first 10 minutes were the hardest but once I got into it I really enjoyed it and having all my viewers and friends there for support definitely calmed me down.

We tried to make it fun and had little spot prizes for every question asked and of course everyone got a little goodie bag. 

Now that I've conquered my fear I think It's safe to say I'll definitely be doing more.

Thank you to everyone who came, I hope you enjoyed the night and extra special thank you to Hazel who brought me a lovely card and flowers.

Thank you to my bestie Sinead for being camera woman for the night and taking over my social media and thank you to benefit and blank canvas cosmetics for supplying prizes and goodie bags for everyone. 

I feel the love!! lol

Hello Sunshine!

Hey Guys, 

Hope your having a nice day.

So happy to be posting a fashion O.O.T.D today, I've wanted to get back into doing these posts for the longest time but just never had enough time in the day but now that I've cut my hours at work and made a schedule for my channel/blog I hope to be doing alot more of these posts as they are my favourite and of course some more products reviews.

We have been having a nice few days here in Ireland so of course I took advantage and pulled out my summer wardrobe and wiped the dust of these gorgeous paperbag shorts I bought in Miss Selfridge about 2 years ago.

The rest of the outfit is new and available in stores right now. I'm just loving Primark/penneys Jewellery at the moment, I must say the quality is fantastic for the price and this chain just screams Summer and Festivals to me <3

Creative Tuesdays Collaboration: Summer Obsession

Hey Everyone, 

So as much as we hate to admitt it, Unfortunately summer is coming to a end.....Tear!

For today's post I'm doing a collaboration with some of my favourite bloggers/youtubers, links will be at the end of this post.

So for this weeks  #creativetuesday the theme was "SummerObsession" 

I wasn't so creative this week due to a busy week. Here's a few snaps of some of my Summer loves for 2013

  1)   Evian Water Spray:

First up is this handy little water spray from Evian, I've been raving about this product ALL SUMMER!!!

After running out of my favourite setting spray "fix + from MAC, I picked up this bottle, I had laying around the house and was instantly blow away.

During the hot summer weather we got here in Ireland. This was my life saver, not only does it cool you down, It also refreshes your makeup and nourishes your skin.... not bad eh? and only a quarter of the price!!

2) Seventeen lip crayon:

I bought this baby for a PLL tutorial and it has become my favourite day to day, go to lipstick

It's as pigmented as a lipstick, glides on like a lip butter and lasts as long as a lip stain. Perfect all in one for my hard working ladies.

3) Pastel Nail polishes

Yup! It wouldn't be summer without out some pastel in our lives

This summer I was loving these Essence Nail polishes, for only 1.49 they are pretty FAN-TASTIC!

(hello marshmellow,wanna be your sunshine)

For my everyday job, I need strong polishes as my poor hands are always overworked, Nail polishes don't last the hour... But China Glaze polishes are super strong and last a few days depending on your top coat.

This shade "tantalize me" is my favourite, It appears lilac but in certain lights it looks pink.

4) Apocalips

Need I say more, These babies have taken the world by storm.

Is it a lipgloss? Is it a lipstick? Who knows but the are pretty damn pigmented and long lasting!

Defo a must have this Summer and for A/W 2013.

                                                                                         


      5) Blank Canvas Cosmetics

We all know I'm pretty obsessed with this brand, Not only is it a Irish brand and extremely affordable 

but It's also the best freaking brand in the world, Beating MAC with their incredible brush range and quality!!

Now they are moving onto palettes....

This is the best highlighting/contouring palette for any makeup fan or makeup artist.

You have everything you need in one palette.

6) Blush Cosmetics

Blush cosmetics is a new high-end Irish Brand.

Used in salons all over the country, they have now decided to sell their products to the public.

I was blow away by this foundation. It is pale enough for the Irish skin, feels nourishing on the skin and gives a airbrushed matte powder finish <3

Lusting Over Stripes

Hey Guys, 

Stripes again???? Yes It's true I'm lusting over stripes.... 

Totally fell in LOVE with this oasis skirt even tho it's so similar to my midi skirt I just loved the lengh and the shape, looks so cute and feminine 

Of course I had to finish it off with a pop of colour.

Ankle boots add a bit of edge to this outfit and makes it a little more casual for work as I'm on my feet all day, but kitten heels would totally rock this outfit :)
