HELLO DOLLS!

Can you believe. Last Day. January flew I am telling you. How did you find the start of the year, was it GOOD or BAD or JUST THE SAME?

Did you like these sort of posts? Would you like to see a similar post? More beauty, lifestyle,food,  thoughts or photo challenges? Let me know or link me some that you think I should do, as I do love doing these things. 

So whats for the future?

"A thing you are excited for?"

1.Get Fit, Die Trying!

I want to be healthy and fitter. Not collapsing as I reach the top of a set of stairs or panting after a run. I suffer with asthma, and I know as I have been feeling the benefit of exercise, that it has opened up my lungs and I less and less need my inhaler. I want to feel healthy and less sick. I also have some tight muscles and and tendinitis in a few joints so, movement of those are important. I want to get into loving running, but I still love a walk and soft jog and really do feel the benefits.

2. Be more confident!

With anxiety, you pair yourself back from situations and kinda like your own comfort. Also with having gained weight, you do feel crappy. So since losing what I have I want to work harder for my goal and also start being confident. I am a naturally quiet and observant person, which can taken the wrong way, but I do want to break that mould and be a more happy me.

3. Work more on my blog!

Even though you have heard from me alot this month. I defo want the motivation to keep going. I want to write better, create a new banner and theme, be better at photos and more creative. So little by little I hope I can do that.

May Favourites 2014

Hello Ladies,

Sorry for the late post. My blogger has been down! (sad face)

But here it is my May Favourites. 

I did`nt have many new favourites in May so it will be a short blog..... (sorry!) 

So heres my Favs!.....


Garnier Ultimate  Blend Shampoo, Cocoa Butter & Coconut Oil.
For Dry/Frizzy Hair. 

I have had a struggle in May with my hair. Its felt dry and just felt horrible. I picked this up in Pennys (Primark) and said I would give it ago. I don`t use conditioner in the shower, as i use a leave-in one, so I just opted for the shampoo on its one. 
The formula of this is hard to explain, its like a gel, but more watery, like an oil. It smells amazing, like Chocolate! (happy girl). It lathers well and as you rinse it out you can feel how soft it is instantly. I would recommend to use it 2/3 times in, as it will take that to find the difference. But I really have. My hair feels better and looks better. I love this shampoo!!

Revlon ColorStay Foundation, Normal- Dry in Buff.

My go to makeup when I need that extra coverage or an occasion. I really love this foundation. Its the perfect match for me and thats rare as I am quiet pale. The only down fall is that it does`nt have a pump so I do find I waste more. But it photographs beautifully. I have quiet a few blemishes lately and it covers them quiet well, only needed minimum concealer. Its one that I have in my KIT and my clients love and one I will repurchase. 

MAC Angled Liner 266.

When I do a feline, cat, winged liner I use my MAC 266. It is the perfect shape and size and makes doing that winged liner so much easier. It one my top brushes and one I use on my clients aswell as myself. If you love your cat eye and need a new brush then the 266 is the one you need, 

So tell me what have been your favourites, I would love to know. 

Just Comment below, Email me: nataliekeanemua@gmail..com or Facebook Me or Tweet Me I would love to hear from you. :)

Untill Sunday,

Be Good!

Summer Bag Essentials

Hello Ladies,

I was asked on Twitter to take part in a Summer Blogger Challenge, by Amy Goldfish . 

This weeks challenge is Summer Bag Essentials.

Since it`s now June, its the perfect start to the challenge, beach bags, suitcases are being packed. Unlikely for Ireland to have a HOT summer, but you never know. And incase we do, heres what I will have in my Summer bag. 


SPF:
At any time the year its important to wear an SPF. Bur especially when the sun is out, as the UVA/UVB rays are harmful to your skin. There are so many on the market these days, but make sure it is high enough. If you cannot get one you like, a primer/tinted moisturiser/foundation you choose should have an SPF, just dont layer Spf as it will cancel each other out. 
A great, an cheap SPF is from non other than ALDI. Lacura Anti Aging Sun Cream is just €4.99 and comes on SPF 30 & 50. Is fragrance free is soaks right into the skin. You can wear this alone or under makeup. 

Aldi Lacura Anti Aging Cream €4.99

BB Cream:

Instead of a heavy foundation sliding down your face in the heat and if you find a tinted moisturiser is to light, try something inbetween like a BB Cream. I really love it through the humid, warm weather. It sits well and covers them discolorations and blemishes. My favourite is Maybellines Dream Fresh BB Cream. Price is about €11.99 and lasts a long time.

Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream €11.99

Lip Balm:

Sometimes we forget our lips, unless they are chapped in the winter. The weather can still effect your lips, even in the summer. And because it is one the thinest parts your face, its important to protect it. So a Lip Balm that norishes and has an spf is important. You can get them anywhere and in any flavour. One that is great is Nivea Kiss of Protection SPF 30, Price is about €3.

Water:

Water is supper important to stay hydrated in hot weather. Having it to drink and keep drinking it during the days is needed to keep your skin in great shape. 

Your choice on what brand of water you choose to drink. 

 

Accessories:

Incase of a event emergancy, its good to have a couple of accessories in your Summer Bag. What I would put in is hair ties and clips- if you go for a dip in the sea and dont want to destroy your mane then you will need these. Deodrant- to keep fresh in the hot weather. Sunglasses- to protect them eyes and make a fashion statment, I love aviators myself. Lastly your favourite statment necklace or earrings to bring day to night!

These are my Summer Bag Essentials and will be in my bag, as soon as Irish weather gets warmer! 

I hope you like this post. If you want to see more Summer Bag Essentials, then search #summerbloggerchallenge.
