Day 6 of 5H week and the last day! Today it is all about the baby of the group, Dinah-Jane. Today I am going to show you how to achieve Dinah-Jane’s Makeup and give you guys some outfit inspiration too. Let’s get started.
The Makeup
Step 1:
The same as previous posts.

Step 2:

For this look I just added a simple deep brown colour to the corners of my eyes with the Real Techniques Crease Brush. The eye shadow I used was a loose powder from the Fuischa makeup I got while on Work Experience.

Step 3:
I then used the brush pictured above to add a slight black eyeshadow in a ‘C’ shape on the outer corner of my eye.

Step 4:
Then I lined my tight line and waterline with black eye shadow with an angled brush.

Step 5:
Finally I just applied 3-4 coats of the Urban Decay Perversion Mascara to add some length to my eyelashes. You can also use a eyelash curler if you prefer.

The Finished Look


The Outfit
Now that you have the makeup you’re going to want the perfect outfit right?

Day 5 of 5H week and today it is all about Ally Brooke. To see the last three days of Makeup and Outfit tutorials just click here, here and here. But today I am going to show you how to achieve Ally’s Makeup and give you guys some outfit inspiration too. Let’s get started.
The Makeup

Step 1:
Same as previous tutorials.

Step 2:
This look is actually what Ally wore to the Grammys but it’s such a versatile makeup look that you can wear it day or night. For the eyes I used my Elf Baked Eye Shadow Palette and used the Gold colour and applied it all over my lid and under my waterline also.

Step 3:

Then I used an angled brush and black eye shadow and applied that to my tight line and my waterline.

Step 4:
Finally I just applied 3-4 coats of the Urban Decay Perversion Mascara to add some length to my eyelashes. You can also use a eyelash curler if you prefer.

The End Result
Although Ally has a light pink lip in the picture above, I applied a red lip as it matched my outfit this day. The lipstick I have on in the photos above is the Rimmel Provocalips in Play With Fire.

Day 4 of 5H and today it is all about Lauren Jaurgui. To see the last two days of Makeup and Outfit tutorials just click here and here. But today I am going to show you how to achieve Lauren’s Makeup and give you guys some outfit inspiration too. Let’s get started.
The Makeup
Step 1:

The same as previous posts.

Step 2:
Lauren’s makeup is very similar to Camila’s in the picture above. So like in the Camila Cabello Turtorial I am using the Fuischa Gel Liner and applying it with an angled brush. Lauren has pink eye shadow in the picture above.

Step 3:

Finally I just applied 3-4 coats of the Urban Decay Perversion Mascara to add some length to my eyelashes. You can also use a eyelash curler if you prefer.

Unfortunately the picture for this look got deleted I hope you guys can the jist of what I am saying without a picture. As a finishing touch, you can apply the Rimmel Kate Moss lipstick in 03 or 08 for a natural pop of colour on your lips.

Normani Hamilton Makeup Tutorial with Outfit

Day three of my 5H week and today it is all about Miss Normani Hamillton. Yesterday I did a Camila Cabello Makeup and Outfit tutorial which you can see here. But today I am going to show you how to achieve Normani’s Makeup and give you guys some outfit inspiration too. Let’s get started.
The Makeup

Step 1:

This is the same as in yesterdays post.

Step 2:
I was actually quite nervous doing this eye makeup because I never leave my comfort zone but I thought I should venture out and I tried Normani’s blue eye shadow. I used my Valentina by Kejal palette and using the brushes pictured above I applied the three shades of blue, also pictured above. I used the palest blue first and applied it halfway across my eyelid. Then using the next shade of blue I applied the over the pale blue but not going as far over, leave a bit of the pale blue on show. Lastly, using the darkest blue I just applied this on the outer V of my eyelid. Don’t forget: always blend!!!

Step 3:

Next I applied black eye shadow all along my waterline and using the darkest blue eye shadow and an angled brush I applied it just under my lash line.

Step 4:
Finally I just applied 3-4 coats of the Urban Decay Perversion Mascara to add some length to my eyelashes. You can also use a eyelash curler if you prefer.

The End Result

Excuse the bed head!! I didn’t apply any lipstick for this look; Normani looks as if she’s wearing a nude lipstick in the picture above. If you want you can apply the Rimmel Kate Moss lipstick in 03 as it is similar to the lipstick Normani is wearing above.

The Outfit
Now that you have the makeup you’re going to want the perfect outfit right?

Camila Cabello Makeup Tutorial with Outfit

Camila Cabello is part of one of the major up and coming girl bands, Fifth Harmony and since this is 5H week and all posts are based on the 5H girls, I thought I would do a makeup tutorial and inspired outfit for each girl throughout the week. So instead of me blabbing on about nothing lets just get straight into the post.

The Makeup
Step 1:
I apply my foundation and it is the Rimmel London 25hour foundation in Ivory. This has become one of my favourite foundations and I even have a spare in my drawer in case I run out. I apply this with my Real Techniques Buffing Brush. I set my foundation with the Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder and to add shape to my cheek bones I apply the Benefit Hoola Bronzer with my Real Techniques Powder Brush. I only recently purchased the powder brush and it applies bronzer so evenly and I am in love!

Step 2:

Camila has said she is very plain Jane when it comes to makeup, so her eye makeup is very simple. In the majority of pictures Camila has on Instagram, her makeup is very plain and she just has winged eyeliner to elongate her eyes. I used the Fuschia Gel Liner, which was given to me by the lovely girls I worked with on work experience. I applied it with an angled brush.

Step 3:
Finally I just applied 3-4 coats of the Urban Decay Perversion Mascara to add some length to my eyelashes. You can also use a eyelash curler if you prefer.
The End Result
Camila doesn’t wear lipstick that often, she does however apply some lip balm and you can do that too.


The Outfit
Now that you have the makeup you’re going to want the perfect outfit right?

Fifth Harmony Week: Reflection Review

Due to a broken Laptop 5H week was postponed until this week so lets get this started!!

Reflection is the debut studio album by Fifth Harmony which was recorded throughout 2014 and  then released on February 3, 2015 by Syco Music and Epic Records. The lead single, "Boss", was released on July 7, 2014. The second single, "Sledgehammer" premiered on October 28, 2014. The album debuted at number one on the United States iTunes Charts and and number five on the Billboard 200 with 80,000 units sold.

1. Top Down
Top Down is very female R&B, as is the whole album, but this song has a bit of a old music style to it which made me fall in love with this song.

2. Bo$$
The first single and this song is fierce! This song is perfect to describe women independence and basically telling men, dont 'holla' at me and you've gotta show a woman respect now and again. Naming Michelle Obama in the song, who is a strong, independent woman is just perfect.

3. Sledgehammer
This song was written by the newest female in the music business, Meghan Trainor. This is of course a love song and showing the feelings a woman goes through when she finds a man. This was the second single off the album.

4. Worth It (feat. Kid Ink)


This song shows women confidence and basically showing people these girls are 'Worth It'. I love this song and the beat is perfect and of course it features Kid Ink! This song is the latest song released and is the third single from the album.

5. This Is How We Roll
This, yet again, has a nice beat to it and is very female R&B. Again, this is a female orientated song, showing females they can go out and they 'gotta get out' and they 'can't stay in the house'.

6. Everlasting Love
This is another song obviously wrote about the love of a boy. I love this song and it definitely gets me up and moving in the mornings before school. All the girls showcase their voices in this song, which I love. I love when a band can share vocals evenly and these girls definitely do that.

7. Like Mariah (feat. Tyga)
Again, this is a song wrote about a boy! I do like this song and when I first heard it I may have overplayed it. This song features the 'hot right now' rap artist Tyga.

8. Them Girls Be Like
I first heard this song off Fifth Harmony's 'Better Together' EP and I fell in love with it because it is such a typical girl song. It take about posting the odd selfie on Instagram, asking if our bums look big in something or God knows what else.

9. Reflection
When I first heard this song I presumed they were talking about how perfect their man is, but boy was I wrong. Plot Twist: they are talking about their own reflection. What are they saying about their own reflection? Listen to the song and you'll find out.

10. Suga Mama
We have reached my favourite song of the album!! I don't know why this song is my favourite, it just is. This song is basically about a guy using all you money, yes even boys can be gold diggers! This song was written by new girl on the music scene, Meghan Trainor.

11. We Know
My second favourite song from this album. Its a slower song, but everyone needs some sort of a balladish song on an album right?

Deluxe Edition Songs:
12. Going Nowhere
Again, another one of my most played on this album. I don't know what it is about these girls but as the album goes on I just love them more and more!


13. Body Rock
This is one of the few songs on the album wrote about the love a girl has for a boy. Honestly I haven't listened to this songs as much as others on the album but I do like the song. However, it isn't one of my favourites.

14. Brave, Honest, Beautiful (feat. Meghan Trainor)

This song tells all the girls out there listening to the song that 
You can dance like BeyoncĂ©, 
You can shake like Shakira 
'Cause you're brave, yeah, you're fearless, 
And you're beautiful, you're beautiful. 
So whine like Rihanna, 
Go and pose like Madonna, 
'Cause you're brave, yeah, you're honest 
And you're beautiful, you're beautiful. 

That is all for the first post of Fifth Harmony Week.

Birthday Haul

I'm only getting around to this post now, even though my birthday was almost 2 weeks ago. I had all my posts scheduled  up to now so here we are! Some of the stuff I bought out of the money I was given haven't arrived yet and the shoes my mam got me are on their way now!

From my uncle:
My amazing uncle/godfather gave me a lot of money to spend as I please and I did just that. I have been wanting the Real Techniques Starter Kit after getting the Core Collection a year ago. I have only used the kit once on a night out and I love it and the brushes are so soft. I also picked up a couple of Nyx products, also wanting these since they came to Ireland. I got two of their lipliners because I've never actually owned a lipliner before. I also go their eyebrow kit in Brunette and the Liquid Illuminator. I even have money to spare after buying all this!

From my brother and his girlfriend:
My brother and his girlfriend got me loads! They got me nail art from the P.S Love range in primark, Bows for you hair which I have wanted for ages, ever since I seen Bethany Mota's DIY hair bows and frilly socks... YES FRILLY SOCKS. I cannot wait to wear these because they are so pretty and girly! They also got me the Zoella Fizz Bar, which smells so soapy and sweet and a Vaseline Lip Balm which I had before but I had ran out. The final thing they got me was the brown bag (pictured in the back). I am not quite sure where they got this but I love it.

From my auntie, uncle and cousin:
 My auntie and uncle got me the necklace on the left which has an 'S' on it, for Sarah obviously. They also gave me €50 to spend and I have ordered stuff off of BooHoo which is on the way. My cousin got me a packet of earrings pictured above on the right.

From my nanny and granddad:
My Nanny and Granddad got me and Primark gift voucher with €50 on it and so far I have got two tank tops for €3 each.

From my uncles partner:
 My uncles partner, Pamela got me this gorgeous bag from Forever 21. I'm the type of girl that wears greys, blacks and whites and this bag definitely goes with everything I wear. The second thing is the Lip Smackers!! I have been bringing one to school each day and when I put them on, I have to try not to eat them because they smell divine!!!

Mother:
My mam got me Nike Air Force 1's and they only came this morning and I am in love. I even asked her if it was possible to marry shoes... She said no but I still love them *heart eye emoji*!! 

I love everything I got for my birthday and I can't thank my family enough for everything!
