Makeup & Curls

I am so excited to announce that I will be taking makeup appointments as of now from my home in Ferrybank! I have honestly been thinking about this for years and I finally built up the courage to go for it. Appointments will be taken through my phone on 086-1922113 please text to book. I'll be setting up a makeup business facebook and instagram page very soon but until then be sure to check out my personal instagram s_phiewicks  for some of my latest makeup looks (here's a few of my faves below). I'll be hoping to take appointments through my makeup facebook page once I get it up and running. As I am currently working another part time job I can only guarantee a booking a week in advance for now - perfect for any last minute plans! Prices depending on application such as with lashes etc. I am really looking forward to this experience as it is a huge goal of mine. Looking forward to meeting you! Sophie (MUA?)

If you need reminding of what I look like (HA) here's a recent enough picture of my hair in a mandatory pre- night out bathroom selfie First off I only wash my hair once a week. It really doesn't need more than that. I used to wash it more often but the less you wash it the less it actually needs it. Your hair adapts to how often you wash it. If it's used to being shampooed every day it'll get oilier faster. If it isn't being shampooed every day it wont be as oily. Yes, it takes a bit of time to adapt but it's so worth it. Sometimes ...

Anyone who knows me, anyone who even barely knows me, knows that I take an enormous amount of time to get ready. Well as much as I'm in love with the process of getting ready, sometimes I wish it didn't take so long. I want to not have to sit in front of the mirror for hours (2... 2.5...3) getting ready to be the full beat, slaying queen I am. Powder Room, House , Limerick - Gorgeous spot! This post mainly came about because I have a festival coming up later in the year which I've come to realise I want to spend more time bopping at than getting ready for. I'm sure loads of you have a festival or some big event to go to that you want to look bomb for but don't have the luxury of hours and hours of time. I have a few tips and tricks below that I'm hoping will speed up the process. Eyeshadow I could spend well over an hour and a half on my eyeshadow if I'm going for any kind of full on look. Yeah I'm not joking, it takes this long. Partly because...
