New Video: Festival Essentials

Hey Ladies,

Just incase your not subscribed to my YouTube channel (which you should be obvs tut tut) I just posted a new video all about packing the essentials for a festival. I have never been to a festival before but IF I was to go these are the things I wouldn't dream of leaving home without. I actually bring quite a few of these in my bag on a regular basis and they are so handy to have. So, if you are lucky enough to be going to Longitude or Electric Picnic you best check out my video and I will also post below my Festival Makeup Look if you are in need of some makeup inspiration!

I really hope you enjoyed this video and I will be back next week with another!

The Ultimate Packing List

Hey Ladies,

So lists are my thing....I can't do anything without a list as it's how I stay organised (well try to). And there is nothing more stressful than packing for a sun holiday, guaranteed you'll be half way to ________(insert holiday destination here) and you'll realise you left half of your essentials at home. Funnily enough it was actually a girl in work who said to me...

"You know the way your super organised with your lists? Can you to a holiday packing list!" 

...and ta-da here it is. My holiday essentials in a handy print out that even has those little boxes for you to satisfyingly tick once you've popped your bits 'n' bobs in your suitcase. A rough guide to help you remember the important stuff and build from there. Many a nights before going on holiday I've had nightmares of turning up to the airport with an empty suitcase, stress be gone. Now, I have tailored this to a sun holiday but fret not I have a city guide and a long haul to the US coming up next. I am really excited to share all of my travel tips and tricks with you lot!

So if your heading on your holibops Suzie Q has got you covered...you can find the download link here: Download! And at the top you have the option to print or save.

Happy packing!

Suzie Q Reviews: Ta Hun, Penney's!

Hey Ladies,

I love a good browse in Penney's as much as the next person but I ALWAYS leave with stuff I don't need - Splurgy Sue strikes again. Thankfully this time I had a good excuse, its for the blog. That sentence constantly gets me out of a pickle.

The last time I was in Penney's I spotted that they had added to their "PS Love This' range. I have never actually tried any of their makeup items so I'll hold my comments until I do but I am constantly picking up their eye lashes whenever I'm in Penney's. There lashes range from natural to RuPaul-esque so they have you covered for every occasion. My favourite pair are the Double Trouble lashes and they cost only €2! I know, right?! I also picked up some individuals for my kit.

I also spotted the Makeup Brush Cleanser which I've seen being mentioned on Twitter a couple of times. It's alright not the worst in the world. It doesn't have an offensive scent and doesn't dry out brush hairs which is essential if you've put money into your brush collection. It's perfect for spot cleaning, beginners or people who are just too darn lazy to properly clean their brushes (I have a super detailed post on how to wash brushes here). In all honesty though if you pass one by I would pick it up for only €2.50 its a handy one to have lying around and it's not going to break the bank.

Also, how CUTE is the stationary in Penney's at the moment. I'm a well organised Bridie these days with my to-do lists and weekly planner. It makes my desk look like something off Pinterest.

So let me know in the comments what you think about the Penney's makeup rang. Have you tried it? What should I pick up next time I'm in store....c'mon enable me!

Getting Organised With Tiger

Hey Ladies,

Just a quick post for you today! I have become a huge fan of the store Tiger lately and it seems to be popping up everywhere, think IKEA but only for the little knick knacks. When I was in there two weeks ago I spotted this handy little lipstick holder for only €3! Yes you read that right....€3! Every time I go to buy one of these lipstick holders you can only find them online and I wasn't born with patience so never followed through in buying one.

This holder has space for 9 lipsticks but is small enough that it won't crowd your vanity. If you have tons of lipsticks like I do then this is really handy to keep on your vanity/desk with your favourite lipsticks so they get plenty of use.

I first popped this up on Instagram and a couple of people got back to me to say they picked them up too! If you want to follow me on Instagram you can find me @whatsnewwithsuzieq!


Until next time, may the wings of your eyeliner always be even.
Love,
S
