                           DOES ONLINE NEGATIVITY GET TO ME?

HEY MY PALS, back again with my new blog post...

So, the last few months since the number of followers I have gotten larger,  I have got so many lovely and kind comments on my pictures etc. Along with fabulous followers!!

Of course when you put yourself out there, there are pro and cons ! From someone that had 1k followers to more than half a million across my social medias, it was hard for me to adapt to the pros and cons. I have been getting some nasty comments on my appearance and much more. I usually ignore hate & carry on. My usual thing is, block & delete from my accounts.

There was a good few comments on the amount of make up I wear, saying i'm 'insecure' & 'ugly' & 'Fat' and much more. I decided to post a before and after of my make up which surprisingly got a really good response from my followers.  I felt it was the right time for me to speak up for other girls\guys who get hate online too and to tell them they're not alone.


I posted on Instagram & Facebook expressing my feelings about the negativity on social medias..


''Here is a before and after of my make up... I get so many comments saying I'm insecure and I'm so ugly because I wear so much make up, don't get me wrong I love playing around with make up and when I put it on I feel better about myself. I shouldn't have to explain myself but here we are! I am a positive person and try to ignore horrible comments but sometimes I need to speak! You're entitled to do what makes you happy in life!! So right now I'm happy in myself and of course every person has insecurities about themselves 🙂 (if you post hate you're getting blocked)''

​ 
As you can see below, I do look quite different with make up on...




After I posted the picture on  Instagram & Facebook, I received thousands of messages asking 'How do you deal with the hate?' & 'You're so brave for speaking out for others who get bullied online'  and much more.

If i'm being honest, as I write this i'm trying to think of an answer on how I deal with it. It's pretty much just realising that there are many people out there who won't or don't like you for no reason. There are people that don't want you to do well in life. These people are called 'Keyboard Warriors' & 'Trolls' & 'Bullies'. These people try to put you down and try get into your mind & want to ruin your day/mood. 
​




​I came to the realisiation that they're the ones with the problem, not me... When I get hate, I don't reply to it, I just delete and move on. Sometimes people come back and use a different account to send me horrible messages. I just block and give NO reply. THEY EVENTUALLY DO GIVE UP. I PROMISE THAT.

These online bullies NEED to realise that they could send out horrible comments to a person who is very soft hearted or going through a rough time. This could send somebody into dark thoughts & let it get to them. Bullying is such a serious thing online, it can really effect some people. Sometimes it does go as far as depression, self harm, anxiety or even suicide.

​Victims of online bullying need to know they are NOT alone and even the greatest people in the world get hate./mean comments said to them. ( Even Beyonce gets hate )​
​

I am very lucky that I have a great family, friends & boyfriend to help me through anything. I am also very lucky that I am able to turn off my phone and block people without dwelling on it. At the start I didn't understand why they would say rude things to me or about me, I felt attacked and useless. A year later, NOTHING bothers me.

 It's one step at a time, block the account that are sending mean messages, get off your phone\laptop . GO TALK TO SOMEONE, this is the main thing that helped me when I started getting hate. I told my boyfriend/girlfriends and I got upset about it. I then moved on and now those awful words don't hurt me anymore. It does take some time to not let it affect you but it is possible.


So the point I wanted to make is to just walk away from social medias if you're not in the right state of mind, take a break, close the laptop down, know your worth and remember you're amazing and there are so many people who love you.  

Allow yourself to cry, or to feel sad, that's ok too.


YOU ARE GREAT- 


That's all for now, thank you for the support and kind messages.


REMEMBER - it's nice to be nice <3333

 I HAVE BEEN MISSING....
( don't worry I only went to celebrate my birthday and came right back...)

Anyways,  WELCOME BACK! 

I wasn't sure what to blog about this week, but then it hit me, SO many of you asked about my birthday... What did I do?, where did I go?, Where did I get my dress?..


To start it off, I had a party in my home in Waterford City. It was amazing and myself & my girls danced to Beyonce all night so we were happy. 

I wore a gorgeous navy dress from GetThatTrend (@getthattrend on Instagram) as you can see to your right... 

It was super hard to find some navy shoes to go with and I was originally going to wear red shoes but I couldn't walk in them at all. I was like Bambi on ice trying to walk in them.  (No joke I really  was)

I then found these gorgeous navy heels in PENNEYS/PRIMARK!! Yes penneys/primark... for €18...  I tried them on and they were so comfortable right away. I wore them all night dancing and they didn't hurt me at all! Such a great bargain.
​
My make up was done by the fab @gemmale_makeup (insta) ! I was so happy with it, we went for a glitter gold cut crease! THE GIRL HAS HANDS FROM THE GODS..





​
Many people asked me about my cake & fruit basket...

​I got my fruit basket from IncrEDible Flowers in Cork. This was so amazing, no joke it was actually eaten up in 20 minutes! They're so cute and the fruit was completely fresh & tasty! We got strawberries covered in choc & much more as you can see from the picture! Definitely something I would get again for a party!
​
Then my FAB cake... I mean so many people asked about my cake, this amazing cake was made by Cherub Couture Cakes (facebook). I almost DIED when I saw the cake, it was everything I expected & more. It was delish, chocolate fudge, salted caramel & vanilla flavour... MOUTH WATERING

LONDONNNNNN..

Cian brought me to London for part of my birthday present!

We got to meet some friends from England & got to go out clubbing in London in a club called Mahiki in Mayfair!
Mahiki was such a cool place, so relaxed and the music was exactly my taste ... There was a karoke room too which was super fun!

I wore this outfit - 

- Playsuit is from Topshop €68
-Jacket is from Penneys €18
- Heels are from Korkys €40




​
​(excuse my chubby thighs)


​ 



So that was pretty much my 21st birthday! I can feel the grey hairs already... I was spoilt rotten by everyone. Extra shoutout to Cian for making it so special for me!
I also got so much make up for presents ... so maybe that's next weeks blog ;)

* this isn't a sponsored post by the way, it's just where I got my stuff! *

Thanks for reading you guysssss! It does mean a lot to me. 

REMEMBER, It's nice to be nice... 

lots of love <3

DAAAAAAMN EMILY...
Back at it again with the new blog post.... 


MY FAVOURITE  PRODUCTS!

Foundations


1. Inglot HD Foundation - €33
2. Cailyn Super HD foundation - €34.   

I wear these foundations for day & night time looks. I HATE foundation that goes cakey and dirty looking! I can definitely say that these foundations don't and they suit my skin as I go oily pretty often around my t-zone area! I would definitely call these my 'Holy Grail' products... WHO DOESN'T LOVE FULL COVERAGE FOUNDATION GALS/GUYS AM I RIGHT??

​

​
​
Inglot Shadows/Pigments

I do use a lot of different brands for my shadows but my favourites would be Inglot shadows! Inglot shadows - €6 per shadow which is great pricing! 

Inglot Pigments are the ONLY pigments that I use. I love all of their pigments/body sparkles. The pigmentation of these is crazy as you can tell from my picture... Almost every spotlight eyelook I create I use them! They also look AMAZE on the inner tear duct! Pigments are just €16.
  • Here's a look i created with some Inglot shadows and popped some pigment on the tearduct!! OBSESSED..


Lucy's Beauty Box 

Lucy's Beauty Box is AMAZING! I recently got sent this gorgeous box to store my make up in..
This amazing make up organiser really has changed the game for me!! No mess and easy to pick up my products..  The box is actually spacious as you can see all of my make up fits in! It's such great quality, it's acrylic but almost feels like glass! 
These are £147 and TOTALLY worth it.

Their Instagram name is - @Lucysbeautybox

 


​Tans 
​

​
A popular question i'm asked on Snapchat, Twitter etc is what tan do I use?

BBOLDTAN 

I have been using this tan the past 2 years and it's always been my favourite! I have tried so many out and usually came out patchy or not dark enough for my liking as I like to go pretty dark! (pale Irish girl problems) if you like being a dark tan golden goddess, TRY THIS TAN IT WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN I PROMISE!!

This product is the perfect tan for me and I will never change tan! The great thing about it too is that it only costs €10... YES €10... 

Also these are my legs when i'm going to an event or parties etc... the colour is so good!



​Highlighters 

Another question i'm asked a lot is.... WHAT HIGHLIGHT DO YOU USE??

'THAT GLOW THOUGH' 


The past few months I have only used one particular highlight and this is the Mary Lou Manizer 
from 'The Balm'
This highlighter has become VERY popular over the past few months since I got my hands on it!
Many MUA'S or bloggers know exactly what this product is and the quality of it.. It's retailed at €20.50 which a great price for something that will last a long time! I still have mine around 6 months and I STILL didn't hit pan..


Here is a pointless selfie but look at my glow!! YAAAAS... 




So you guys, these are some of my favourite products and my most used products! 
I hope you enjoyed and keep your eyes peeled for next weeks blog post... 
 
Also want to let you all know, this is not a sponsored blog from any companies. I just LOVE these products!

​
Thanks for the support & remember it's nice to be nice...
​BYE BYE <3
