Sally Hansen nail treatment review

Today I wanted to do a review on the Sally Hansen nail treatment.
This treatment is a 4 in 1 extra moisturising treatment
1. Ridge filling base coat
2. Bio strengthener
3. Growth treatment 
4. Mega gloss top coat
One word fantastic!!! For the past few weeks my nails and also my mothers nails have been splitting and breaking very easily we have tried a few different treatments to try and build up the strength in our nails like olive oil, almond oil and also just removing all nail varnish and letting our nails breathe, but none of it worked! Then as a last resort I spotted this in a chemist and decided to give it a try.
It's a clear polish that you put on like any other nail varnish, it has quite a lot of natural products which is what originally drew me towards it such as Okoume extract, sea minerals and avocado oil. It is classed as Americas number 1 nail brand, and at €8.95 I didn't think it was too expensive.. That was if it did everything it said!
I put it on clean nails, it dries relatively quickly and has a nice glossiness to it, but not too much so it's perfect for work or school if coloured varnishes are a problem. I noticed the benefits the following day, my nails looked brighter and generally healthier, my nails are harder and I've had absolutely no breaks or peeling at all since I've used it! This is a god send for anybody whose nails are weak and break at a drop of a hat, I would definitely repurchase this product without a doubt!
Sorry box is a bit crushed! This is the packaging if you want to have a look out for it! 

I've had this for about 3 weeks, my mum and I have use this a few times and not very much has been used.
I think this really is a great product that can be used on any type of nails by any age! 
I hope this helps anybody who is having trouble with their nails

Cat Eyeliner Tutorial

I've seen quite a good few tutorials for winged eyeliner so I figured i'll do one of my own.
I've been wearing this look for years as an every day look you can also add false lashes and a red lip as an evening look
.

I know some people do have problems achieving this look and also getting both eyes even, I begun wearing this look when I was about 16 -17. When I first started doing this look I could never get both eyes even and i'm pretty sure I looked like a panda for a few years before I figured out this handy trick that I use to get perfect flicks everytime!
I'm by no means a makeup artist but from practice and also figuring out which products work well for me I have found a technique that does the trick for me!
I hope this tutorial helps you with your cat eyes if your a beginner or just trying to perfect your own style this is a tutorial for anybody that likes this look and style.
If anybody wants me to do a specific look, tutorial or anything comment on this or email me at lifeofbeauty@outlook.ie

Enjoy

Start with a clean eye unless you want to add eye shadow to this look, have your foundation done already.
Draw a line straight up following the natural shape of your eye, just think of it as an extension of your waterline.
 
This picture is the same as the previous it just shows how you follow your waterline.
Once you have that done start from the middle of your lid and connect the line to the line you have already drawn making a triangle type of shape.
Same as above just showing the shape when my eye is closed.
Fill in the rest of the flick and bring down the eyeliner to your inner corner. How far you go down to your inner corner is up to you.
 

 

From this then you can make the line as thick or thin as you like.

 
Once your happy curl your lashes and put on your favourite mascara!
Add a pink or red look and boom evening look!
The products I used were Catrice Ultra Fine Ink Eyeliner in black.
Normal eyelash curler from a chemist.
Rimmel ScandalEyes Rockin Curves Mascara.
 
Hope you enjoyed!! :)
