Now, I'll be honest with you, I'm no beauty expert 😂 But I've been doing my makeup and my tan for as long as I can remember, so I've naturally built up my own little routines and tips along the way. I would love to start sharing them in a bit more detail on here, in the hopes they might help one of yous!

You'll always see snippets of my routines in my content, but here I can go into a bit more detail and share exactly what I do, step by step. The main goal is that you all have somewhere to come back to time and time again, whether you're looking for a recommendation, a tip or a review on a certain product, it'll all be here.

I've loved beauty for years. It's one of those things that helps me feel a little bit more like myself and puts a pep in my step, even if it's just a bit of mascara, some lip gloss and a curl thrown in my hair. I know sometimes it's the last thing you want to do, but let me tell you, when I put a fresh layer of tan on on a Thursday night, I wake up on Friday morning feeling like a million dollars! I can't be the only one 😂 Now, tan's not for everyone, but it's definitely something I love. Without it, I'm basically the colour of the walls 😂

The brands I always reach for

I wouldn't be someone who uses a lot of products. I definitely have my favourites and I tend to stick with them, probably because I know them and I know exactly what they're going to do. I've been so lucky to work with some incredible brands over the years, brands I still work with and still have in my makeup bag. So if I'm honest with you, any product you'll find in my makeup bag or my bathroom, whether that's makeup, hair, tan or wellness, is one I would genuinely recommend to my friends and my sisters. And if I'd recommend it to them, I'm going to recommend it to you! 💕

All of my haircare is usually from Voduz, a brand I love and adore and have worked with for as long as I can remember.

For makeup, it's usually BPerfect or Sculpted by Aimee in my makeup bag, another two Irish brands I adore.

As for skincare, I'd love to share a bit more about my routine. I've definitely struggled with my skin over the years, and I've had to change things up a little from time to time. I'm going to be doing a little bit of a skin journey on the run-up to the wedding, so I'll be sure to keep you all in the loop on how I get on!

And then there's tan. If you've been following me for a while, you'll know you'll very rarely see me without it, unless I've just scrubbed it all off to put a fresh layer on! BPerfect is my go-to there too. Lord knows I've mastered my routine at this stage, jesus, I'd want to have! 😂 Some people can get away without it in the summer, but not me. I could move to the sun and I'd still be pale 12 months of the year 😂 So putting my tan on is a real feel-good moment for me.

Over to you

So in a nutshell, that's what I'll be sharing here, my beauty tips across skincare, makeup, haircare, tanning and wellness. But if there's anything more specific you'd like me to cover, like my exact skincare routine, let me know. I would love to answer any of your questions in my blog posts over the next few weeks.

As always, thanks for being here.
