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

Holiday Of A Lifetime: L.A, San Diego & Las Vegas

Hey Guys, 

I can't believe I'm saying this but I'm back from my holidays.

It was the quickest 10 days of my life but I had so much fun.

I've been getting so many questions about my trip so I thought I would fill you all in.

So Me, my Mum, my Aunt Paula and Cousin Alison flew out of Cork to London and then straight from London to LAX in a long 11 hour flight with British Airways. 

We flew in a new plane which was HUGE, It had 2 floors we were upstairs with business class, the food was gorgeous, the flight was smooth and we were treated really well even got ourselves up to business class. 

When we landed we met up with my Aunt Joanie who flew from Chicago to meet us and then we began our holiday of a lifetime. 

We had a stunning beach house in Santa Monica where we stayed for 6 days. I was unsure how I would feel about L.A as I heard mixed reactions from friends but It definitely didn't disappoint and Its safe to say I fell in love with the place. The weather wasn't as sunny as we expected but it was beautiful in everyway. 

We went on a warner bros tour which was definitely the highlight of my holiday, visiting the sets of my favourite T.V shows like PLL and Big Bang, I was on a high. We also went to Malibu, Rodeo drive, Hollywood, A tour of the Oscars, jimmy kimmel live and sooooo much more. It's safe to say we crammed alot into a short amount of time and it was all thanks to my Aunt who drove us everywhere. In L.A you most definitely need a car to get around, public transport isn't as easy as it is in Ireland.

After L.A we went to San Diego for a night, We stayed at the Dana hotel which was beautiful. It had a lovely feel to it, the rooms were outdoors so it felt more like an apartment than hotel and it was right across the road from Seaworld where I finally lived my dream and swam with dolphins.

We then went on to Las Vegas where we did ALOT OF WALKING I had no idea Vegas was soooooo big I imagined a little strip. The hotels were like shopping malls with different themes based on different countries. I enjoyed the sunshine and shopping the most as I'm not a big party person but I will definitely be returning for some pool parties.

Thank you to everyone who followed me around on snapchat I really enjoyed sharing it with you all and for those who missed my vlogs would you be interested in a more detailed video on my trip with some vlog clips??

Let me know!

What's in my suitcase?!

Hey Guys, 

So I was planning on doing a Summer Holiday Lookbook but I felt like doing something a bit different on my channel for a change so I came up with the idea of showing what outfits I'm packing for my holiday and trying them on in a Whats in my suitcase style video.

Hope you enjoy <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

10 Makeup Picture Day/ Passport Photo Tips

Hey Guys,

In today Tuesdays Beauty Tip I spoke about my top 10 tips on how to achieve a flawless face 

for photos or flash photography. 

Always keep in mind that the camera takes away 20% of colour from your face

So don't be afraid to add a little extra bronzer or blush. 

If in doubt take a picture on your phone first to see what you will look like on camera. 

Check Out the full video here: 

Hope you enjoy!

New Year - New Beginnings

Helllo :)

Hope you all had a lovely christmas and New Year.

2015 has been a strange year.... many ups and many downs but all we can do is dry our tears and learn from our mistakes and start 2016 like it's a brand new book. 

Here are some of my goals for 2016.......

First on my list is to learn how to drive 

tho this might seem silly to others its always been a fear of mine, not entirely sure where the fear came from but this year I've decided its about time I faced my fears. 

I've already passed my theory so looking forward to getting started :D

Second is to hit the gym and start to watch what I eat. I know we are all sick of hearing this one and everyone hits the gym for the first week of the new year and then we all forget but this year I've decided to make a change not only to get in shape but to cook healthier meals which in turn will help me feel and look better from the inside out.

I'm very dedicated to my youtube channel uploading twice a week click here but one thing I slack on is blogging and social media. 

Blogging has been my life since 2010 and since I started my youtube channel my blog has been neglected but this year I wanna change that and work blogging into my schedule.

It's always been a dream of mine to go swimming with dolphins so this year I'm going to make it happen!! I'm heading to Las vegas, LA and San Diego this May for a dream holiday and this is most definitely on my list! Add me on snapchat to keep up to date, I will be posting like a mad woman haha! 

Looking back at 2015 one thing I lacked was Adventures. 

I worked my butt off in 2015 with my job in benefit as a brow expert, building my MUA skills and making videos for my youtube channel but one thing I definitely lacked was more FUN which most definitely needs to change!!!!! 

Sinead (@SineadyCady) and myself were always off on our little adventures and I totally miss that.

Can't wait to plan our next one.

What are your goals for the new year??

Love Always,

Saz xx 

P.S Look back on my past looks and whats to come on my channel in 2016
