Hello World!

-
Hi to everyone reading this! or should I say "Well, girl!"?

I guess I should start off with a bit about myself. I'm Sophie Wicks, my biggest obsession is makeup and I'm also an engineer.

 As usual, I'm the last soul on earth to get on any bandwagon, but here I am, making a blog. I suppose I'll get the ball rolling and give a head's up on what I'm hoping this blog might turn into...

 Rewind to a few days ago at the Fleadh and the lovely Ciara Finan told me I should "just go for it!" and start a blog about my favourite thing in the world, makeup. Here I am now, it's way past my bedtime, and I've got a blog somewhat setup.

 I'm not sure what direction I want to take with this blog, but I know it's going to be makeup related. I'll probably be posting a lot of my makeup looks that I do. I'm sure there'll be product reviews along the way, skin care saviors that I come across, and the odd hair post. Who knows, there might be a makeup tutorial on the way too!

 So here we go! Expect somewhat of a more interesting post in the future!

 Love and peace,
Sophie

OLAPLEX Treatment 😍 Empire Hair

-

Ok guys, you know those Instagram posts of people using Olaplex on clients and they have perfect silky hair afterwards? Its no joke. I went in to Empire Hair a few days ago to get an Olaplex treatment in my hair and I am so happy with it. As everyone knows I have unruly, frizzy, curly hair that has seen way too much heat and colouring in my 22 years on this planet. I got the Olaplex treatment done and its actually so repaired and healthy now. Also can I just say that the new salon on Patrick's street is absolutely gorgeous - it's an official Olaplex salon 😍 I got a two step Olaplex treatment and it was so relaxing I almost fell asleep! The first step also involves your hair being wrapped in a warm towel which is so lovely. When the treatment was finished Lynn gave me the most amazing cut and blowdry as you can see from the pictures. My hair has genuinely never felt this soft in years and its so smooth and replenished. I cant hype Olaplex up enough because it resto

Teal Eyes - Step by Step

Hi guys! I put together a detailed step by step picture tutorial on how I do my teal eyeshadow. I usually pair it with a pinky nude lip, rose toned blusher, and sometimes fake freckles. I was out in the sun lately though and now I have freckles of my own! Also It probably seems like I used a lot of eyeshadow colours here but these are the exact colours I used so I said I'd include every step. You probably don't need this many at all but this is how I like to get depth to a look. I also use more or less depending on the day but these are pretty much it. The Morphe palette is perfect for these looks and it's really pigmented. Anyway lets get to it! Blending Brushes: L -R Elizabeth Arden (no name), Zoeva 228, Inglot 6SS, Zoeva 227, Inglot 10s Other brushes used: BH Cosmetics flat eyeshadow brushes Zoeva  Rose Gold -103, 127, 230, 234, 317 Real Techniques - Bold Metals  301, 300  Penneys - blending sponge BH Cosmetics - flat powder brush, spoolie, fluffy

ALFAPARF Sublime Detoxifying Mud Hair Treatment | Empire Hair

I went to my happy place the other day - the hairdressers! I called in to the wonderful people at  Empire Hair   for a deep cleansing hair treatment and here's the 411. I was booked in with the lovely Laura who put the treatment in my hair, told me all the ins and outs of it, and finished me off with a gorgeous blowdry. * Can I just put it out there that I was a little skeptical of this treatment at first. I didn't think a deep cleanse would even be good for your hair - all the stripping of oils and such. I wasn't too sure how I'd benefit at all from it, especially with curly hair, but I put my faith in the girlos at Empire hair nonetheless and I'm delighted I did. * The Company Alfaparf have recently come out with this detoxifying mud mask and it's the first of its kind. The mud mask is part of range of products called Semi Di Lino from Alfaparf (which the salon stocks - HELLO!). It is a deep cleanser for you hair and scalp to remove a buildup of
