The TMI Tag

So I feel like it's time I let y'all know a little bit more about me, and I suppose the only way to do that is by doing a TMI tag! 

Now there's quite a few different TMI tags, so I've picked a few from everywhere, and away we gooo... 

1. What are you wearing? Fluffy Christmas pyjamas, because I'm  at home at the moment!
2. How tall are you? I am 5'11.
3. Any tattoos? I don't have any tattoos no, but I do have quite a few ideas that I'd love to get done soon.
4. Any piercings? I have 4 piercings, but they're all in my ears!
5. Favourite show? I love Dance Moms, but, I also love CSI, Bones and Criminal Minds! Oooh and house design/ home decor shows!
6. Favourite bands? You Me At Six are definitely one of my favourites... but I also love Paramore, 1D, All Time Low, Miley Cyrus, and many more...
7. Something you miss? I miss all the people I haven't seen since I left school, and college! 
8. Favourite song? At the moment, I'm loving 'Rather Be' by Clean Bandit feat. Jessie Glynn (Clicky click)
9. How old are you? I am 19 
10. Zodiac sign? Aquarius
11. Favourite Quote? “If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together... there is something you must always remember. you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart... I'll always be with you.”  - A. A. Milne, Winnie The Pooh.
12.  Favourite colour? Right now, I am quite obsessed with the mint/aqua green colour.
13. Loud music or soft? I used to listen to my music as loud as I possibly could, but since going to college, I've learned how truly bad it can be for you; so a little it softer please! 
14. How long does it take you to get ready in the morning? If I have all the time in the world to get ready, then I could easily spend an hour, if not two, getting ready for the day! But unfortunately, I like my bed way too much, and most of the time I only have 15/20 minutes!
15. The reason I joined Youtube/Blogger?  I joined YouTube because I adored watching videos that had so much passion and love put into them, and it's something I've wanted to do ever since (I haven't yet... but I'll get there eventually!).                                                                                                                                                                                       I joined Blogger, again because I read many blogs which I found so interesting and passionate, and fell in love with the idea of being able to put my own little bits out there!  
16. Meaning behind your YouTube/Blogger Name? My YouTube name is simply just my name, and my Blogger name (BeautyBehindLife), is all about exploring the beauty behind life, quite literal if I'm honest; but I wanted to incorporate the idea that I'd write both beauty and life posts! 
17. The book you’re currently reading? I'm currently obsessed with a site called Wattpad, so I'm reading quite a few books on there. My current one is called 'Kiss Cam', and it's actually quite good.
18. Place you want to visit? America, so so much of it. 
19. Favourite flavour of sweet? I love mint humbugs (?) I think that's what they're called anyway!
20. What instruments do you play? I actually don't play many instrument! I can play the ukulele, and dabble in the piano and guitar, but I'm not very good! I am a singer though, and I will admit that I'm not too bad.

So I hope y'all feel like you know a little bit more about me, and feel free to ask questions down below! Thank y'all for coming to read this post!

My March Favourites!

So I have been loving an awful lot of things in the month of March, but I haven't really found any new beauty products I'm in love with! But I managed to choose five 'things' I'd love your beautiful eyes to see!  This was a lot harder than I thought it would be though, seemingly I love an awful lot of things!

#1. The Gym:  In February I started going to my college's gym because it's free for students! I've always been kind of scared to use it because I felt like people were going to stare and judge, because I am in no way fit and I definitely don't have a stereotypical gym body! But I faced my fears and went (with my friends, not alone), and it was actually fun; extremely hard work at times, but fun! I have a feeling it's going to start to become a thing now... but it's a good thing! Healthy = Happy!  Don't forget it's not about your body shape or size, it's about being healthy; because I seem to forget that a lot! The fact that you're trying is all that matters at the gym!

#2. Penneys' (Primarks) Range Of Fitness Clothing: Speaking of exercise... Before I got into it a little bit more, I didn't really have any clothes that were gym worthy! And not knowing if I was going to stick with it, I didn't want to spend too much money on gym clothes! I was browsing Penneys one day and saw a beautiful fitness section! These clothes are honestly the most comfortable of my gym wear and amazing quality for their price! (Running Top: 7.00; Exercise leggings: 8.00)

#3. Smoothies: For the last few weeks I have been absolutely loving smoothies! They are so versatile, and so easy to make! I love getting up in the morning, throwing fruit into a blender, and having a smoothie in two minutes! I can't decide which kind I like the most though...; maybe I'll do a 'how-to' post on my all time favourites! What makes this even better, is that I just bought a new blender for making my smoothies in! I am so excited to try it and see how it lives up to the old one; I'll keep you updated!

#4. Glass Storage Jars: These are my two favourite jars at the moment! I have an obsession with storage tins and jars, and these are so cute! I got them in a shop called 'Carraig Donn' which we have here in Ireland! They're actually meant to be halloween jars, but for €3.50 I didn't care at all!
Not only do I love the actual jar though, I also love what I am keeping in them! First I have Penneys' facial cleansing pads, and honestly they're soo handy to have! I love using them to take off my make up, and they're quite cheap for how well they work!
In the second jar I decided to keep sherbert sticks that I got in Dealz for €1.49, because it was empty, and they honestly look the cutest! And I now have a lil snack if I ever feel like a pick me up during the day!

#5. Cloud10Beauty.com:  So this website is one of my personal favourites, I've bought many many things from there and I absolutely adore them all! The prices are really good, and they are always very speedy with their deliveries; I've never had to wait more than 4 working days for mine! They have such an amazing selection of products, that I literally can't go on without adding something to my basket! They also have quite a large of Irish products, which I adore, because I can buy amazing products while supporting Irish brands. If you don't know cloud10beauty.com yet... what? Get yourself over there now! I can't wait to share my latest haul from them with you!

February Beauty Favourites!

So I decided it'd be a fun thing if I did a beauty favourites every month, because I have a lot of things that I love! And I mean a lot! I'm sorry it's a lil bit late, but I suppose I'll start! 

Real Techniques Expert Face Brush: I've had this brush since the end of December, and I have been using it non-stop! I haven't touched another foundation brush since. I find it applies my foundation so smoothly and doesn't soak in the product, forcing you to use more! The bristles are very tightly packed, so they apply the foundation more evenly. I personally love this brush, and I think I'll be sticking with it!

Bourjois 10 hour sleep effect foundation: I have this in foundation in the shade 71.  I quite like it, I haven't worn a liquid foundation in quite a while as I found they clung to any dry skin I had; this one thankfully doesn't and covers it quite well. I'm loving it at the moment, but we'll see how it goes! It gives quite a light coverage to your skin, but it can easily be built up, and it doesn't make it look like you've caked your make up after! I've found that once I set this foundation with a powder, it'll last all day.

Essence Smokey Eye Effect Eyeliner: This is a pencil eyeliner, and it is the best one I've ever had! I know I should really only use it when doing a smokey eye, but I use this thing every day! It does the perfect thick line on your eyelid and I think it works great for doing your waterline as well!

Rimmel London No.128 Starry-Eyed Lipstick: I have searched for weeks on end to find the perfect lipstick, and this is it! I am in love with this colour; it's a beautiful, deep purple/red colour, which is absolutely stunning! It's also long lasting and has no problem so far in staying on all night! It is a definite need!




Simple Antibacterial Handwash - Mint: I absolutely adore this!  It's antibacterial which really is perfect, and I love that it states it clearly on the package so I don't have to spend hours searching the label! It uses a pump system, which I personally prefer as I always thought that using a bar of soap was somewhat unhygienic even though I know it isn't! It also... smells like mint; I love mint, a lot. Honestly I'm surprised I haven't spent 24 hours of the day washing my hands, it's that good! Best part of all? It was only €1.49 in this spectacular shop we have in Ireland called Dealz!

So those are my absolute faves at the moment, thank you for reading this far!
Love and Hugs, Emma xx
