Snapchatters I Follow & Recommend !

Snapchat has clearly taken off well! In spirit of the wonderful app I have decided to share my recommended favourite users of the app although I must admit I rarely go on there anymore and I warn that this is all beauty related.

What I love about SC so much is that it makes available to see things that you otherwise never could have. An example would be an inside view of Urban Decay HQ when Amra and Shayla were invited and kindly showed us all. Another would be the behind the scenes of the Huda Beauty brand or even all the other fashion shows that are on the public stories. So let's get right into it (SC names are in pink);

Samer Khouzami - samerkhouzami
(row one left side image) A middle eastern make up artist. His signature touch is evident in the work he creates which is straight GLAM as you can see in the demonstration on the model.

DressYourFace - dyf-tamanna
(row one centre image) Already a confessed fangirl for Tamanna, I really enjoy her snap stories particularly because they are the most in depth in actually teaching us her ways. Very useful for those who want to experience what her online classes offer before paying for them. A lot of what she shows is covered in the classes.

Habibah Da Silva - habibadasilva
(row one right side image) This beauty has such a chilled out vibe about her it's difficult not to love her for it!

Amra - amrezy
(row two left side image) Queen of rants. Though they try, no one does it like her! Amra likes to drop some wisdom for us... surely motivating those who watch, her determination is something worthy of respect. Not to mention this woman's make up application is just on point.

Ascia - asciaakf
(row two centre image) I can't believe I only properly discovered Ascia recently. I've seen pictures floating around on Pinterest etc. but never looked her up. I'm glad I did though as she's so good in showing us the fashion related things she gets up to or when she's going to an exclusive event/show. Her regular snaps of her cat has also awoken a new found love for Sphynx cats in me...
I  M U S T  G E T  O N E.

Huda - realhudabeauty
(row two right side image) Do I even need to introduce her? But for those who are not already familiar with her, she's the founder of Huda Beauty, famously known for it's lashes, This is a fun loving mother of one, who is doing seriously well and making me proud. It's good for other people to see that there is more to the middle east than what is shown on telly!

Shayla - makeupshayla
(row three left side image) Shayla is brow, sass and fitness inspiration all in one. I can't explain how much I love the tips she gives on being sassy. Her regular workout clips are so motivational, she has a super cute puppy and her make up is always fleekin' anyway.

Irene - irenesarah
(row three centre image) I've been following her on youtube for such a long time now. I love the stuff she puts out and how calm she keeps things. She's just a darling to follow on YT and watch on SC.

Mona - monakattan
(row three right side image) Huda's Sister! She's a bunch of fun and her obsession with sun glasses is totally understandable. Such a cutie.

There are many more I can recommend so these are just the main ones. I hope you enjoyed this post, do comment your favourites below for myself and other readers to add if we haven't already xx

Online Makeup Class with Dressyourfacelive.com

Hey everyone, hope you're all well. It feels like forever I've not done a post. This is one of the reasons why.

Let me begin by telling you that all of this was brilliantly accidental. It started with a simple google image search 'LA girl pro conceal contour'... I was curious what shade I should order and if the all famous shade 'Toast' was really right for me. There came an image of a flawless face of make up done by Dressyourface/Tamanna Roashan. I had seen her name crop up a few times but never payed any attention, then when I went on the image link that lead me to her instagram, I saw she was about to a live make up class with the beautiful Huda Kattan the very next day at 3am UK time (she was in Dubai).

In the hurt and pain of having missed Beauty Con as well as Mario Dedivanovic's London masterclass and then seeing that Soniaxfyza doesn't seem to be doing one any time soon either, I decided to check this new online thing out that I've been seeing around so much.

When I joined the special offer for the trial, it was only $5, how could I miss this?! Then once my payment and membership was done, another offer came up for a 48hour all access pass for only $0.99 ! I added that and omg how do I explain that you will be getting your money's worth paying full price on everything on that site which is what I intend to do in the near future.

How it works

Join by clicking which package you want, the trial or the monthly, then make your membership and payment. The live class countdown is always up on the site. When the class starts you go to the live class page and watch the session with a pen and notepad in hand. Once the class is over or even throughout, head over to instagram and leave your questions which will be answered in the same live session. Then, when you next get time and watch the repeat is when it is advised to practise along with the video. 

Whatever option you pick, you can go onto the My Account page and also check how many days or hours of your subscription you have left which is really handy for anyone wishing to cancel before the next payment automatically goes through.

As you can see above I've been accessing my account through my phone and have watched every class on there besides from when I tuned in live for the Huda Kattan special. Everything ran very smoothly for me. The site lets you know how to check your wifi speed on the device you'll use so you know you're okay to watch live without any problems.

There were just so many plus points on this whole online experience that nothing else is actually worth any worry.

Pros; 

♥ In depth professional techniques THAT WORK!

♥ Don't have to travel

♥ Good range of skin types and face features are covered

♥ Lots of classes for a fraction of the cost you'd pay for an Event type of Master class

♥ Tamanna is a great teacher

♥ You can watch over the classes so they really sink in enabling you to practise well

♥ Convenience of watching at a time to suit you

♥ When replaying, pause/play/rewind for anything you missed

Cons;

♥ For someone like me who doesn't have instagram, I can't take part in the live Q&A

♥ No Goody bags - but who cares when you're really not paying a lot to begin with, add on a subscription to a monthly beauty box and you're sorted but still saving so much money that you can spend on even more make up

Some people go to the event classes to also be able to meet the famous make up artists in person which any make up lover would love really (although I'm shy I know I would!) however besides from the MUA themselves, I personally don't like the idea of leaving the comfort of my own home to travel two hours or so to a major city and back with only having learnt a limited amount in the money I could have taken a lot further online with repeat access - perfect for a forgetful person like me.

If you're interested in learning online, here are a few places where you can do so with some of the best artists in the make up industry:

Makeup Shayla

Makeup by Lilit

Angel Merino 

Scott Barnes

Ghalichi Glam

Dressyourface #YAZZZ

Woah... I never thought this post would get this long but never mind, all in the love of make up! I hope you enjoyed it, please feel free to ask me about anything I may have missed out.
