Hello Blogoverse, I come to you today with news from the app kingdom! In recent months i have come to follow a website on twitter @beautylish at the time of the great following I thought it merely as one of those huge Twitter companies that just automated tweets to get hits on their website. However over the past couple of months I have actually learned that this is in fact and online community of both professional and amateur beauty junkies. It is some what like the facebook of the hair, beauty and fashion industry where users can submit their own work for review as well as the companies own team of very skillful bloggers posting various videos and reviews of up and coming products as well as some killer street fashion that anyone with a set of eyes could appreciate.
Naturally when I learned that this website had gone mobile and its wonderful creators had developed an App available for both the android and IOS market I was on it like a car bonnet. Now from the palm of my hand i can access and huge amount of user content and even eventually upload some of my own work. The beauty of this website also comes in the form of being able to receive feed back from like minded peers as well industry professionals. So if this seasons plum eyeliner isn't hit at home there are hundreds of people online waiting to accept you with open arms on the web.
Their website can be found here or on Facebook here. Dont forget to subscribe for more news, reviews and HOWTOs.

Tweezing for Dummies (Men and Women)
Here in Dublin, the grand aul captial city of Ireland we are in the midst of an epidemic. Yes there is a stainless steal untensil that is tearing famlies apart, this creature is said to live in the depts of our beauty boxes and is known to come out late at night and attack unsuspecting eyebrows. Never fear ladies and gents I am here to save the day with my own take of "Tweezing for Dummies"
To do this all you will need is a tweezers, an orange wood stick (or a pen something long and straight) and some savlon.
Before we begin this I would like to remind people of the age old saying;
"Eyebrows are sisters not twins"
Step 1: Meausring your eyebrows
In my opinion the most important step to ensuring you leave yourself with a natural looking set of forehead warmers is to measure them, to do this you simply take your orange wood stick, pen or you can even use a nail file (we will refer to this as the stick from now on). Taking your stick place it vertically from the corner of your nose past the begining of your brow and you tweeze anything outside of this point but ensure you measure both brows at the same time to ensure you don't over pluck the space between your two brows. The next stage is to take the stick and from the corner of the nose once again bring the stick to where your eyebrow should end which is at the outer corner of your eye and tweeze anything outside this point, They finally to meausre your highest point (basically where your natural arch is) Whilst looking straight ahead, bring the stick from the corner of your nose diagonally over your pupil and this will give you your highest point. This is so you can pluck your eyebrows to their natural arch.
Step 2: Tweezing
I would reccomend doing this when you get out of the shower as your hair follicle (the bit the hair grows from) will be open and it wont be as painful when your tweezing the hairs. One of the key factors in painless tweezing is ensuring that the skin is pulled taut when tweezing, you can do this by taking your middle and index finger, select the area you want to tweeze keep the area small, and pull the skin up and keeping that tension tweeze inbetween the two fingers. Make sure that you tweeze in the direction of growth I cant tell you how important that is! If you don't you can completely destroy the shape of your eyebrows and cause your brow hair to change direction of growth. My tweezers is from the Boots range and it was €6
Step 3: Cleansing
Taking some savlon or any form of anti-septic cream rub it all over your eyebrows as this helps to reduce redness and basically just clean the eyebrows which is important especially if you have bloodspotting.
Ethan's Top Tweezing Tips
1) Don't over pluck, they are eyebrows not chickens
2) Tweeze after the shower to help make it less painful
3) Don't spend too much time on any one eyebrow make sure you alternate
4) Make sure you stop every now and then and look in the mirror to prevent yourself from overplucking
5) DON'T OVERPLUCK (Has it sunk in yet?)
