Hi everyone,
    As the world of Snapchat is starting to take the blogging and buisness world by storm, I thought I would take the opportunity to share my Favourites "snappers". I have to admit,I have become sooo addicted to snapchat, weither its to pass a wee 10 minutes here or there or just sheer noseyness, I could easily spend a good hour scrolling through story after story. so rather than be greedy and keep all the good ones to myself I have chose to share my top 5 that I think you guys should all go and check out.

1. Waxpertsellen

This gorgeous lady is the creator of the amazing brand Waxperts, this is an award winning wax range which can be found in most salons across Ireland and UK. Not only is Ellen an inspirational business woman, she is also a mummy to the wee cutiepie that is Cooper, who infact makes regular appearance on his mummy and Daddys snapchat to greet their followers with a little "hello everybody", and of course Ellens Partner Conrad Jones ,  who is the new comer on Snapchat, but is fast taking it by storm. I could quite happily watch their snaps all day, Ellen has a voice that could melt butter and a face that should adorn the front cover of every beauty magazine on Earth,and Conrad is a hard working doting daddy that could teach the modern man a thing or two .

Ellen is also over on Twitter, Instagram and of course Snapchat (user name as written above)

Conrad is over on Instagram and also snapchat  under Conradjones13 .

2.Sharonleavy

Sharon is the fantastic writter behind the lifestyle, beauty and books blog  Behindgreeneyes ,this beauty is also mummy to 3 boys (2 being twins) . Sharon shares her homemade scrummy meal ideas, makeup tips, bargin purchases, book reviews and some good oul fashion chit chat along the way, I think this lady is just fab and I definately could see this gorgeous gal producing some fantastics books in the near future. As a mum of 4 I know how hard it is to try and juggle all my social media sites but this lady just makes it all look super easy, If you have to do one thing today , make it that you follow this lady.

3.Kimdempo

I started following this stunning lady around 3 weeks ago and I have been like a stalker ever since, Kim is the biggest chatterbox ever,  which is fantastic when it comes to snapchat because that is what snapchats about after all.

 I have a huge amount of admiration for this lady as has went through a phenomenal weight loss journey, and has shared all the steps along the way,  she also shares makeup tips,  advice , her ootd's and just great banter about her everyday life , I feel like if I ever met Kim in person ,we would just get on like a house on fire.

So where do I start with this Beyonce obsessed, gorgeous man! If he's not scaring the bejesus out of his poor mammy "Fron" , he's lip sinking and busting moves to all kind of classic pop music, Britney Spears being my favourite so far.

Not only is he thee best entertainer on snapchat, he is also the Fashion Editor for Mfimagazine, Actor ,Presenter , writer and Fashion Blogger , his Blog jusdejames.wordpress.com being one of my faves!. He is by far one of the snapchatters who has me in actual tears with laughter.

Autumn Fashion the Little Painted Way

As October kicks off with some fantastic weather ,I thought there is no better time to share some of my favourite Fashion Pieces with you all, and of course ever the bargain hunter, most of my items are from High street retailers or on-line boutiques, All of which are super affordable.


One celebrity I have become so obsessed with at the minute is the gorgeous Kylie Jenner, should it be on her snapchat, Instagram or Tumblr the girl always looks drop dead gorgeous , with an array of on trend outfits to match! But a few of my favourites that I have seen her in at present is the stunning Tan Seudette Asymetric dress and another is a Tan Seude Jacket. Both being paired with perfectly matching accessories of course. But unfortunately we all can't afford to go all High End and designer when it comes to our clothes, so I have sought out some "steal her style" options, just for you .

Another style I have fallen for this season is Tartan, I don't know what it is about it, Maybe the fact my Daddy grew up in Scotland and i'm showing my true colours , or maybe that it is just sooo gorgeous and super easy to wear, either dressed up or ultra casual. Personally tho I think no one wears it better than the Beautiful Emma Watson. Here she's wearing the stunning McQ Alexander McQueen Tartan Wool Puffball Mini Dress which would set you back a whopping £470.00. Instead I have chosen a super affordable option that looks just as good.

The next, I have to say is one my all time favourites, Burgandy/Berry shades are key at the moment , its a colour I always choose to fall back on , that's when im not wearing my usual Black (boring, I know) but Burgandy is a shade that will go with almost everything, should you choose to wear head to toe Berry tones is entirely up to you, but here Mollie King oozes sex appeal with this slinky leather skirt and pattern jumper, teamed up with  some super cute black ankle boots and a matching berry lipshade this just screams Autumn to me. I paired my look with a plain roll neck jumper for that added extra Autumn/winter feel.

  

Lastly I come to over the knee or knee high boots, Unfortunately being only 5ft I can't get away with this look as-well as others could, I just look like a wee child wearing my mums shoes again (hehe). But if I had to choose one celebrity who I think wears the look to perfection it has to be the Stunning Miranda Kerr . This just looks so sophisticated and super elegant.

I hope you all enjoyed my little fashion post and also hope you all have a fantastic start to October, but for now its Love hugs and kisses from

As much as I love Summer I am just soooo glad to see the back of it, don't get me wrong I love a wee evening chilling out in the sun with a wee glass of wine, but I love Autumn that whole much more. Not only because we get to wrap up a bit more in gorgeous pre winter fashion , we also get to rock the vamp/dark lips that has been seen adorn all the fashion runways of late,and no-one can rock a dark lip better than the sultry vixen herself miss Dita Von Teese, this look just ticks all the boxes when it comes to getting that Autumn runway 2015 look, from the berry coloured lips to the winged liner she is bang on trend.

We all love to put our own wee spin on make-up looks though as some of us aren't lucky enough to have a make-up artist on beacon call, as much as we would all love it. So here I have done my own wee cheap version of the dark lip/winged liner catwalk look for a quarter of the price. For this look I have used Sleek's Matte Me lip stain in the shade Fandango -£4.99 liquid black eyeliner from Primark - £1.00, black khol pencil from primark £1.00 to line the waterline . Foundation is Revlon colourstay in shade Natural Beige £12.99 from Boots, slight contour with MUA in shade 3 £1.00 from Superdrug. Baked Highligher shade RoseGold £1.00 in Savers. For brows I used Fm Cosmetics Brow Palette from Fm Cosmetics £8.99. Black Mascara from Primark £1.00. Guys as you can see none of these products were expensive ,so even on a budget this look is quite easy to put your own stamp on.

Choosing one staple lip colour for Autumn is so difficult though as there is just so many shades to choose from , so here is a few i have choose as my Top favourites ranging from highend to budget buy and can i just say that even i struggle to tell the difference in some of these shade as they are so similar....

HIGHEND OPTIONS

BUDGET BUYS

When trying to choose perfect shades I was spoilt for choice, there was soooo many to choose from but these are the few that I managed to whittle down to be in my best buys for Autumn , some of them were absolute steals for as low as £1.00!! I mean who could moan at that price, really???
I know that some of us may not feel so adventurous when it comes to trying out new shades of lipsticks, especially when some are as dark as your soul, but fear not I have you guys covered. here I have chose a few tinted lip balms ranging in price again, granted they will not have the same look as the lipsticks when applied but it still will give you that subtle little bit of colour without going over
board.                                          
                                                          TINTED LIP BALM'S

I have seen so many of the beauties Rocking this new trend on social media, mainly Instagram over the past week, it seems to be so hard to choose which look I liked the best but, when it comes to the crunch no-one and I mean no-one can rock it better than these three stunners.

 I follow these ladies religiously on all of their social media sites, but I will link their Instagram pages down below for you all to check them out.
