The Beauty Blogger Tag 2014


Hello My beauties I Hope you are all well 
Today I have a Tag in which I came across this morning on someone else Blog ( Life of a Sweetaholic)  I just had to get involved she didn't tag me but I shall be tagging people dont you worry :)  I love tags and its a great way to take a break from what you normally blog about and get to know each blogger a little more :) :) So here is the questions :) :) 

Is your hair naturally curly or straight? 
I have always had naturally curly hair My hair was so so curly when I was younger and to be honest I hated it but now its just wavy and I wish I had the hair I had when I was younger.  Anyone out there that has incredible curly hair please love it as its so so beautiful 


What is your natural hair colour? 
My hair was actually mixed between light bright aurburn and dark brown  here is a picture of me behind my sister I have actually noticed both my daughters have the same colour hair as I used to :) 

Do you dye it yourself or go to a salon? 
I used to get it dyed in a salon but having 5 kiddies that can be pricey so I dye it myself 

How often do you wash your hair? 
I wash my hair twice a week and use dry shampoo in between I am lucky not to suffer with greasy hair 

Do you wear the same style every day or change it? 
Ok its depending on my days and day after I wash it I have it down after that I have it up in what ever way suits sometimes messy bun sometimes just a pony tail but its quite hard been a full time mum to have my hair down as i cook clean and all of that.  When i go away for nights out or days out I have it down :) here is some hairstyles you will normally see me with :) 


Do you do your own mani/pedi or go to a salon? 
I never got either done professionally I always just do it myself 


How often do you change your nail polish? 
Whenever I buy a new varnish or I am going out for the day or night other wise I dont bother again been a full time mum my hands are always in water so I see no point in it 

Do you polish your toes in the winter, too or just in the summer? 
I like to polish my toe nails when I polish my nails it looks better I hate feet so having nail polish on my nails as it brightens up my feet haha 


How long does it take to put on your makeup? 
Awww anything from 5 minutes to a half hour its depending on what look i am doing for the day or night but I also like to take my time as I love playing with makeup 


What do you do first? Face or eyes? 
Its depending on what look I am doing.  If I am using shadows that are chalky or doing a dark smokey eye I will do my eyes first but most of the time I do face first and concealer after all is done 


Do you "collect" makeup or just buy what you need when you need it? 
Oh my goodness you are asking a Beauty Blogger this Question?? lol I collect I cant help myself I just keep buying and stocking up and then it gets to the stage I have to sort out my makeup stash and sell on blog sale or give it away to family and friends.  Its all for the sake of the blogging world i promise ;) 
This is only a little of what I have in my collection 



How often do you wear false eyelashes? 
Ok I am not a false lash wearer most of the time but I do love false lashes so I save them for going out.  After all the bigger and fuller the lashes the better it looks in photos ;)  I do love single lashes I think they are great for filling in lashes that are missing and making your lashes look fuller without looking obvious you put false lashes in 

Do you do a full face of makeup every day? 
Ok some days I will not wear makeup at all just to let my skin breath other days I will only wear foundation blush a little eyeshadow and mascara then I will have days I want to experiment with makeup and try out new products so I could apply a full face.  Its really depending on the day.  

Do you wear makeup when you are home alone (or with family)? 
As I said above its depending on the day I could feel I want to wear makeup even if I am not leaving the house or I could go a day or two without wearing makeup 

Will you leave the house without makeup? 
Of course I have nothing to hide Makeup does mask me so I still look the same (maybe a little improved wearing makeup but no different)  It would not bother me at all to leave the house not wearing makeup in fact i have often left the house not wearing makeup and not having my hair done lol Scary but true here is an example of my no makeup face hehe 


How many high end products do you have? 
I do have a few high end products but most of what I own is drugstore :) The one High End product i absolutely love and adore and will repurchase is the Lorac Pro Palette its amazing 


How often do you wash your makeup brushes?
Ok I spot clean my brushes every time I use them and wash my brushes at least twice a month if not once a month depending on how often I have used them 


Do you plan your OOTD every night or decide when you are getting dressed? 
Not a word about it lol even on occasions I always leave it to the last minute before deciding on what to wear I was always like that.  I think its because i have to plan out 5 outfits before I even plan out my own so by the time I have my 5 kiddies dressed im pooped hahaha But on occasions I would have to plan a little I suppose as I probably end up going out to buy an outfit.  My sons communion is next Saturday and I havent even a clue what to wear yet 

How often do you change your handbag? 
Not very often I have started building up my handbag collection though so I may start changing up.  I always stick with black as it goes with everything.  Getting ready to go anywhere with 5 children is hard it takes at least two hours to get everyone dressed myself dressed makeup on and the last thing i think of is my handbag 

What time do you get up and go to sleep? 
Ok this is a bit random but sure hey.  I get up at whatever time my kids get up.  I could be lucky to get a lie on until 7.30 am.  Some mornings are at about 6 am and on school days I get up at 6 am every morning.  I go to bed at about 10 - 11 now as for 3 years solid all the sleep I did get was an hour to two hours a night because of the twins so im catching up 


How often and when do you work out? 
Never work out.  I dont need to I run around all day after my 5 kiddies they are work out enough.  Having young children is great as they keep your fit.  

 
Left-handed or Right-handed? 
Right handed

How tall are you? 
I am 5ft 4 i think 

Do you speak a foreign language? 
No A little Irish but im so bad 


How many pets do you have? 
I have none :( 

How often are you on Blogger? 
Every single day at some stage I am hooked lol 

Do you read the comments posted on blogs? 
Of course I love to see people interacting and I always always read comments on my blog and reply as much as I can 

Do you keep a list of products to try as you see other posts? 
Sometimes I do depending on how much I want to try what i have seen I do have a wishlist as long as the Atlantic ocean haha 

How did you come up with your blog name? 
It was actually hard to come up with a name to be honest as some of the names I did come up with were taken so I knew I wanted my name in the blog name and then I thought well what I will be mostly blogging about is all affordable products as I am a mum and find that high end products are all you really see on You Tube so why not find dupes and lower end products that do just the same or near the same job as high end products 

What kind of camera do you use for photographs? 
I use a Canon Power Shot SX220 HS Camera I am hoping to upgrade to a bigger and better one soon as I take pride in my photos for my blog and of my children 
I am obsessed with taking photos and I love to keep a track of everything in their lives I also take pride in photos for my blog if its not perfect i could take up to 30 photos of the same thing until I am satisfied lol 

How often do you clean your house? (Daily, weekly, other) 
Oh my goodness now having 5 kids i could be cleaning all day every day to be honest.  Its just mind blowing how kiddies can actually get into everything and dirty even the tidiest areas in the house 

What is your favourite colour? 
Anything bright and cheerful from peach to coral to purples to whites to creams I also love black as it goes with everything 

What is your favourite beauty/fashion magazine? 
Ok I used to buy alot of magazines but in all honesty I have no time to read anymore not with all the blogs I follow and I prefer to read them than magazines but if I was to buy some It would be U Magazine which is Irish 

Do you swear? 
Who doesnt lol I dont swear in front of my kiddies and if a swear word slips out I allow them to put mustard on my tongue as I would do to them if they swore.  I think Its horrible and especially when kids and girls swear it doesnt suit them call me old fashioned but thats what i think 


What are you doing with the rest of your day? 
I have the house to clean and pictures to take for the blog I also might get typing up a blog post today thats the plan anyway.  At the moment I have a the kettle on for a cuppa :) :) few im wrecked after this lol 

So thats all the questions i really hope you enjoyed :) :)

The Christmas Tag

Hello my beautifuls.  I hope you are all well.  After a full week and half of looking after my poor sickly kiddies I have ended up been catching their flu and chest infections but at least they are on the mend.  So this morning I was planning on doing a blog post after a lack of posts all week only I woke up miserable and stuffed up and not in the mood but I refuse to sit around feeling sorry for myself and wanted to do something different today.  Just as I was sitting thinking of what to do up pops this Tag from Knickers & Nail Polish and I though yeeeee I am doing this :) Check out her version here :) 
So enough chit chat and lets get down to it :) I love Christmas I have already got into the spirit by bringing my kiddies to see santa yesterday and they loved it such little cuties all excited and looking forward to the big day.  The Tag is basically 10 questions all to do with Christmas :) :) So here goes :) 

1.  Do you prefer a real Christmas tree or synthetic?
I have never had the experience of having a Real Christmas Tree in my home or going up.  It was always Synthetic.  I remember my nana having a real Christmas Tree one year and the smell was beautiful but with 2 of my babies having asthma I am afraid it might effect them so its synthetic all the way.  

2.  You're in a coffee shop, it's December, what do you pick?
Ok I might be a bit boring here in the Coffee department but I always stick to my Lattes especially in Costa but if I was been adventurous I would only go as far as a hot chocolate :) 

3.  What’s your favourite colour scheme for decorating the tree?
I dont stick to a scheme really I go all out with colours.  The more colours the better as I say.  I love a colourful tree and decorations and thats what you will see in my home :) :) 

4.  Giving or receiving?
Awww I would have to say both.  But giving I find more fun as there is the whole picking out the present wrapping and of course giving makes you feel great.  Then seeing their faces after they have opened it is the icing on the cake I love it.  

5.  To mince pie or not to?
Sorry i am not a mince pie person nor am I a Christmas cake or pudding person I just could never get into it I hate the smell and the taste of all three :) 

6.  What's your traditional sunday lunch?
Mmmmm We are not starters people but its the big lunch we go all out on oh yeah.  Turkey, ham, stuffing, potatoes, roasties, brussels sproats, carrots and lots and lots of gravy oh my dinner is covered in gravy yummy and of course after that is the lovely traditional trifle mmmmmmmmmm love it.  There is also another tradition we have in the evening we get some of the turkey and ham lefts over and lots of brown sauce and salt and sit infront of the tv and eat it yummy 

7.  Christmas day fashion
All morning we go around in our new pjs and then before dinner we jump into the comfiest clothes we possible can after all we need as much room as possible to fit in that fantastic Christmas dinner :)  Last year we staying in our pjs all day long it was heaven 

8.  What's your favourite Christmas song?
Oh there is too many to choose.  Shaking Stevens Snow is falling,  Mariah Carey All I want for Christmas, Oh holy night I dont have a particular favourite all of them get me into the spirit 

9.  What's your favourite Christmas film?
It has to be Home Alone the first and second one.  Its not really a christmas one but Seven Brides for Seven Brothers was always my dads favourite film to watch at Christmas and its rubbed off on me I just have to see that film every Christmas :) Jingle all the Way is my kiddies favourite oh and the Old Santa Claus film I love it 

10.  Open presents before or after lunch?
Ok when growing up we were not allowed to run down to see what we got until my mum and dad got up first and that tradition goes on in my home I understand why my mum and dad did it now as I would hate to miss my kiddies faces Christmas morning :) :)  Presents get open after dinner of course when all is settled which is lovely as the mornings can be hectic with all the toys :) This year will be different because for the first time since I was a kid we are all going out to my dads house for Christmas day there will be 17 of us in the one house I can not wait as there is going to be lots of present opening at the same time that day :) :) 

So thats it I have to say doing this tag has put a smile on my face and made me more excited for Christmas.  Only 24 days to go yeeeeeeeeeeee 
I tag you all to do this.  Make sure to let me know If you have taken part 

Until Next time Lots of Love Luck and Laughter 













I love love love hearing from you all :) I make it my duty to read each and every one of you comments and every time i get a comment from you it highlights my day thanks so so much to you all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Beauty Blogger Tag


Hello my beautifuls :) 
How are you all doing today :)
Well Guess what??? 
I have been in the mood to do a blog tag for ages now I dont know about you but I just love seeing tags been done on a blogs its a great way to get to know the writer of the blog more and its also a change from what the blogger normally does on their blog 
Anyways I googled tags and this was the first one I seen and thought hmmmmm I'll do it :) so here goes :) 


1. Is your hair naturally curly or straight?
Curly Naturally well sort of curly ok ok can be quite frizzy if I do not use anything to tame it but I then find it goes flat the next day with a little kink 

2. What is your natural hair colour?
Brown/Brunette 

3. Do you dye it yourself or go to a salon?
Well I used to dye it myself up until I had the cherry black in my hair and when i fancied a change   it was hard to cover the red so for the past 3 times I have got it dyed by a hairdresser 

4. How often do you wash your hair?
I wash it 3 times a week

5. Do you wear the same style every day or change it?
I do try to change it up but most of the time I wear it down a few days then i wear it up depending on my mood i suppose :) 

6. Do you do your own mani/pedi or go to a salon?
I only every got my nails done once in my life in a salon.  Pedi is difficult for me as i hate feet i hate anyone near my feet at all so I do it myself 

7. How often to you change your nail polish?
When nails are in good condition I will change my polish twice a week depending on the polish I use if my nails is in bad condition don't wear any until they are back to normal 

8. Do you polish your toes in the winter, too or just in the summer?
Truth ? I only ever polish my toes if I am planning on wearing shoes that shoe my nails if not I dont bother with them 

9. How long does it take to put on your makeup?
Depending on the look I am doing.....If I am going out on a night out about an hour...... Day time looks usually about a half hour..... or I could get away it a very quick 5 minutes :) 

10. What do you do first? Face or eyes?
Face, Eyes, Lips

11. Do you "collect" makeup or just buy what you need when you need it?
Of course I collect! I'm a makeup/beauty youtuber/blogger.  I also hoard a little which I know I shouldn't it took alot out of me to do my last blogsale lol I know i am due to have another blogsale soon but I just need time people :)  :) lol I love collecting especially palettes I think they are amazing oh and makeup brushes I have so many but I just keep buying more :) :) 

12. How often do you wear false eyelashes?
To be honest I am not a lover of them so not that often I am a huge fan of the Individual lashes they are amazing and you have control of how thick and full you want your lashes I also love that they give a natural finished look without the evidence of you adding to you lashes 


13. Do you do a full face of makeup every day?
No I dont I am a mum of 5 so It is hard to find the time to do looks everyday plus I like to let my skin breath and have a break from the "hard stuff" 

14. Do you wear makeup when you are home alone (or with family)?
No No not normally depending on my mood.  Some days I just get into the mood to do my makeup and go around the house in my pjs with a full face other days I like to be makeup free.  If there was a family occasion thats a different story I would of course wear makeup as there will be lots of photos :) 

15. Will you leave the house without makeup?
Yes I have no problem leaving the house makeup free.  Its nice to go out with makeup on of course but its not a great deal to me to walk out of the house looking 10 years older than say yesterday lol (only kidding) but I sure do look different without it 

16. How many high end products do you have?
Wow thats a tough one.  I do have some Mac, Urban Decay, Lorac, Inglot but most of my collection is Drugstore 


17. How often do you wash your makeup brushes?
I spot clean everytime I use them and deep clean once a week if not once every 2 weeks depending how often i use them.  I am a bit of hygiene freak :)

If i was going somewhere important yes I will plan the day before.... If not I will just root out something just before i get dressed.  

19. How often do you change your handbag?
Not often I use the same bag everyday....but it depends on occasions I will change my bag to suit my outfit of that day or night :) 


20. What time do you get up & go to sleep?
Oh Lordy now thats a question lol.  So mornings I could be up at 5 am some at 6 am some mornings I could be lucky to sleep until 7.30 why you ask my kiddies are early risers :) :) At night I would get about 5 hours sleep in total 

21. How often & when do you workout?

25. How many pets do you have?
I have none :( My garden is too small to have pets and I like to think that any pet has plenty of space to run free thats why i gave away my 2 dogs last year it was just way too hard to see them grow and have so little space I still miss them but they are living in the country now with fields all around them

Sometimes I write them down but most of the time I have them printed in brain :) 

29. How did you come up with your blog name?
