Spring Makeup Get Ready With Me

So many of you told me you love watching Get Ready With Me style videos. I love watching them too (not my own though if I’m being honest ha) So here’s a Spring Makeup one, where I am basically applying a face of makeup that I would wear for a Spring day/early evening. Myself and himself were off for some Friday eats this day so I thought it would be a appropriate because I was actually doing my makeup to go somewhere, not just for the sake of filming 🙂

This is more of a talk through style video, which I still haven’t completely mastered, words still elude me 🙂 But I thought I would give it a whirl and sure don’t they say practice makes perfect, right?

I used a mixture of more affordable and more high end makeup which is a true representation of my normal makeup routine. I like to mix it up 🙂

La Roche Posay Serozince- Full review here

Urban Decay Naked 2 Makeup Look

I already have makeup looks with all the Urban Decay Naked palettes here on Beautynook.You can check out Naked 1 look here, Naked 2 here, Naked 3 here and Naked Smoky here. I did a look with the Naked 2 the other day and put a couple of selfies up on my Facebook page and some of you seem to like it and asked me to film a tutorial, thank you by the way 🙂

So, I did it, well attempted to anyways 🙂 I am really new to this Youtube thing, but I gave it my best go and managed to recreate this really easy Urban Decay Naked 2 makeup look. I am not a makeup artist so I am going to call them makeup looks rather than tutorials, hope you don’t mind.

If you like this video, it would make my day if you went over to my youtube channel and subscribed. I am going to try my best to be consistent with it.

Thanks, as always for stopping by.

Let me know what you think.

Get Ready With Me

Here’s my first ever Youtube video! It’s a speeded through Get Ready With Me. I love zoning out and watching these, and on the plus side it meant less talking for me 🙂 It’s not perfect, but sure neither am I.

Thanks so much for watching and if you like it please be sure to subscribe here. That would make my day…my year in fact, can you tell this is a big step for me? 🙂

There’s a list of all the products I used in the info box of the video too, so if you see something you like they’re all listed in order pretty much.

Let me know what you think and also what videos you like to watch yourself, I am going try create one a week on my channel, but I will also do an accompanying blogpost with any extra details and of course a bit of waffle 🙂

Soap & Glory Solar Powder

I’ve had the Soap & Glory Solar Powder a little while now and have been using it on and off. People had been loving it and so of course I wanted to try it out. Fomo and all of that jazz 🙂 Soap & Glory are renowned now for their fabulously scented skincare, but now they are definitely making their mark in the makeup world too.

As you can see it comes with a sprayed glitter S&G on top of it. Don’t worry, this is only there for a minute, it’ll come off with a few sweeps of your brush. It has two different sides to it. A darker more matte bronzer and then a lighter shade with a gold shimmer laced through it.

Shimmery bronzers are usually a no no in my book. I’m pale and I’ve oily skin, so shimmer doesn’t always work in my world…it just doesn’t look cute. I think the Soap & Glory Solar Powder do it cleverly though. As the shimmer is only on one side you can have the best of both worlds. You can use them individually for your desired effect, you can swirl them together for a darker bronzed look with a hint of shimmer. And then you can multi use the product depending on your skin tone. The darker matte shade can work for creating some subtle definition and then the lighter shade can be used as a highlight aswell.

I tend to swirl my brush in the darker shade more and then just brush it across the shimmer for a light dusting and I find it really pretty. Especially since it is becoming a bit warmer in Ireland now, so we can bronze up a little more. It has nice creamy texture to it, it isn’t powdery at all and it last really well on the skin too.

Solar Powder is available in Boots and is priced at €15.49. They are always on 3 for 2 though.

Overall, I really like the Soap & Glory Solar Powder. I think it will be a bronzer I will be reaching for alot in the Summer months.

Tell me what’s your favourite bronzer?
