5 min gym makeup

Gym makeup should be as quick as getting dressed ..
There is no reason for it to take long

Top tips

•Have your makeup brushes in order
I like to keep my face brushes together and eye brushes together

• Choose an easy to use foundation and a kabuki style brushes to give super quick coverage and blends to give an even coverage

•Using palettes for makeup are ideal as this gives you choice,
all your eyeshadows are together in one palette and this means you don't have to run around looking a highlighter or a blending colour ...

•my main advice would be to define the lash line with a dark shadow and a flat liner brush or an angled brush this adds definition to the eyes with out gel or liquid eyeliner .

Products I used are from www.fanaticcosmetics.com

Please back up you laptop / computer / phones

Hey guys
Happy Sunday to you all hope you are all having a lovely weekend .
I just want to do a small post on backing up your laptop.
In January we got a new laptop my other laptop was around 18 months old, but it had gotten slow due to all the added programmes and photos.

For the past 8 weeks I had a wee voice in my head saying "pull out your hard drive and back up your laptop"
With the many millions of things that get in the way of doing something as boring as backing your photos I never got round to backing up the laptop.

The day it happened was one week ago today the laptop froze it wouldn't turn of it completely lost life.. So i tried to a few simple resets but nothing happened now the laptop wouldn't turn on.. So I don't know if I had an outer body experience but I hit full system restore .. When I realised what I had done I tried to stop it but basically it was too late.
I had no choice but to do a full system restore which ment i lost Everything!!

I lost all the photos that had been taken in sculpt makeup academy since we opened, unless of course they are on a social media site, probably the hardest thing for me  was the kids photos - 18 mths of their wee lives gone.Thats not to say i dont have photos of them i do but its just heart breaking to think the photos are gone especially since they grown so quick.

The moral of the story is back up your devices and machines our lives are on the things and one wrong slip of a finger and its all gone.

have a fab day what ever you are doing

Les miserables WARNING APPROACH WITH CAUTION

Having just gotten home from the cinema and my emotions are running HIGH i wanted to recommend Les Miserables to Every one that is of age to watch it

MY ONLY WORD OF WARNING IS DO NOT WEAR MAKEUP TO SEE THIS FILM !!!



I basically cried from start to finish so bringing lots of tissues with you is a must . There was a space in the middle that i got to enjoy some nibbles, but crying and popcorn don't mix that well, my Gel liner  and my lovely smokey brown eyemakeup was EVERYWHERE...

The cast that were involved in this movie were outstanding they included :Hugh Jackman , Anne Hathaway, Russell Crow, Amanda Seyfried and many more

There is an early scene with Anne Hathaway i found hard to watch so just be aware of this 

Having watched trailers i didn't think this movie was for me. HOW WRONG I WAS ! If you are familiar with the setting of the film and it doesn't interest you don't let it put you off as the story line is AMAZING!!  It was also surprising to me how much of the music and songs i was familiar with and i do believe that my husband would enjoy this, so  don't let your other half tell you its not something they would watch.

i just want to say i highly recommend this film its on my dvd list when its released.....

ill be singing allllll night !!!!!!!! :)

Little starz the music in me

I had the privilege of being hired to be the makeup artist on a show in the Armagh Theatre called the music in me. With a cast of 120 children ranging from totz to seniors.. The age range is from 4-18 which is very diverse .

I knew we had our work cut out for us I with the show being a musical .. The show included phantom of the opera, wicked, lady gaga , wizard of oz , hipp hop and many more .. All in all I believe there were over 300 makeups applied .

This was the biggest job I have ever taken on, and although there were a few minor mistakes the show went really well ... We have another show tonight an it should run more smoothly knowing what we now know .. But that's show biz!!!!!

 Every one done an amazing job and I would like to thank my sculpt makeup team .. With out you this show would have been impossible .. You are all amazing ..

P.s ill check for spelling errors later working on my phone :)

Sanctuary body moisture spray review

I though I would do a quick review on a product I love

  Sanctuary body moisture spray.

 This product claims to instantly hydrate and soften your skin with nourishing sweet almond, soothing jojoba and protective vitamin E.

s

 I have been using this product for around 6 months and i really do love it . I usually find when i finish a body product i move on to the next product. 

This product has got me and i love everything about it. i love the scent which is light and fresh and a slight we hint of floral. 

I really like that it comes in a spray bottle its not messy it goes on to the skin directly with out going over the furniture.

This product is very light weight its not tacky, its not to oily and its definitely not greasy .

This product is lovely on my skin, because of the busy life i lead i need something that is quick and doesn't take a lot of effort so this is ideal for coming out of the shower .

What the company say about their product : 

Benefits :

This fragrant, feather light oil spray instantly nourishes and conditions thirsty skin. Moisturising sweet almond oil, smoothing jojoba and antioxidant vitamin E are quickly absorbed to leave skin hydrated, soft and glowing with a healthy sheen. Suitable for pregnant women.

 

How to use:

 Spray lightly onto clean, dry skin. Smooth in using circular motions towards the heart.

Ingredients:

 Key Ingredients:

Jojoba
A light, natural emollient. It is said to mimic the action of sebum, which is the skins own lubricant. Helps to moisturise the skin and therefore promotes radiant complexion.

Sweet Almond Oil
Has a fine texture, is easily absorbed and helps to leave the skin soft and satiny smooth.

Vitamin E
Antioxidant. Vitamin E is a fat soluble vitamin that maintains cell membranes. It traps and neutralises free radicals created by the environment and offers good protection for the skin.

Full Ingredients List:
Cyclopentasiloxane, Isopropyl palmitate, Paraffinum liquidum (Mineral oil), Parfum (Fragrance), Tocopheryl acetate, Simmondsia chinensis (Jojoba) seed oil, Prunus amygdalus dulcis (Sweet almond) oil, Hexyl cinnamal, Benzyl benzoate, Linalool, Limonene, Benzyl salicylate, Coumarin, Citral.

 

 Upon reading reviews about this product what i have noticed (which seems to be a huge negative) is the amount of product that you now get . In boots the bottle you can now buy is 150 mls and costs the same as the 250 ml bottle ( which is the bottle i have ) now i have searched the boots webs site and i cant find the product. Here is a link to the info i just posted and you can see the reviews

http://www.thesanctuary.co.uk/body-moisture-spray-details.htm

I reccomend that you try this product ...for 250ml  costing £5.50 is a good price point . For 150 ml and costing the same price seems to have caused upset .
