Ol’ Green Eyes is a gorgeous blog where Irish girl Emma Grimes lets us into her life as she shares her beauty reviews, hints and tips.

Winner of the 2013 Blog Awards, Emma gives her thoughts on make-up, skin care and beauty products as well as her style and what she is getting up to.

SHEmazing! caught up with Emma and she let us into some of her top beauty secrets:

What is your best budget beauty buy?
My best budget beauty buy is my KIKO Smart Lipstick. KIKO is currently only available to Ireland online but at €3.90, these lipsticks are such amazing value for money and they have a huge shade selection.

What is your top make-up tip?
Don’t be afraid to experiment and make mistakes. Try out different products and shades, it’s the only way of finding out what looks good on you and what products work best for you. You also don’t have to spend a lot of money to have a great make up selection, most of my favourite products can be found in Boots and other pharmacies and they are budget friendly.

Most girls have much-loved lipstick – what’s yours?
My favourite lipstick has to be Russian Red by MAC, it’s my all time favourite red and the matte formula makes it really long lasting and easy to wear.

What was your very first perfume and what are you currently wearing?
My first perfume was probably DKNY Woman or Ralph by Ralph Lauren. I’m currently wearing Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess, my favourite Summer scent.

You’re only allowed use three make-up products for the rest of your life – what are they?
If I could only use three products for the rest of my life I would choose a foundation, a mascara and a lipstick (the lipstick could also be used as a cream blush on your cheeks, so you’ve got two for one there). Once again I’d have to pick Russian Red by MAC as the lipstick. I would also choose my current favourite foundation which is No7 Stay Perfect Superlight and Maybelline’s The Falsies mascara.

These lamb koftas would be perfect for a summer BBQ served with some pitas and tzatziki.

What you’ll need: 

  • 120g lamb mince
  • 1 red chilli, finely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove. finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped mint
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • Juice of half a lime

What you’ll need to do:

  1. Place all of the ingredients into a bowl and combine. This is easiest with your hands but if you are squeamish you can always wear some plastic gloves!
  2. If using, place the wooden skewers into a bowl of cold water for about 15-20 mins. This will ensure they won’t burn or split.
  3. Add the meat around the skewer evenly.
  4. If grilling, place under the grill until the meat is cooked through.
  5. If barbecuing, place on the barbecue until the meat is cooked through.
  6. Serve with pita, salad and tzatziki.

Vanessa Hudgens took to her Instagram account to début her new blue hair.

The actress had been sporting dark locks with a blonde ombre for some time now, we like this change!

The summery colour may be hard to match clothes to though…

Vanessa captioned the pretty picture: “She would be a half a planet away, floating in a turquoise sea, dancing by moonlight to a flamenco guitar – Janet Fitch, White Oleander.”

What do you think about Vanessa’s new turquoise hair?

Rihanna and Drake have been on and off so many times, it’s hard to keep track of them. While the pair are back together now, Rihanna may have to up her game to keep her man if Nicki Minaj has anything to do with. Watch the video to find out why!

We knew the rumours she hated it here couldn’t have been true!

Okay, so it may have rained the whole time they were here – but Kim Kardashian had a blast on her Irish honeymoon.

The reality TV star took to her Twitter account to answer some of her loyal fans’ questions about her exciting trip and when asked why she chose Ireland, she wrote: “We spent Kanye’s bday a few years back & fell in love with it. Its such a calming relaxing place!”

She obviously didn’t go to Copper’s then…

All we need now is some (real) photos of their time spent here and we can rest easy.

Men are a conundrum.

Here are some of the typical things you may hear them say – and more importantly, what they actually mean when they say them.

1. He fancies you
If he says: So maybe we could go for a walk or a coffee?
He actually means: I think you’re really hot and want to ask you out, but I’m of a nervous disposition.

confession

2. I don’t really like you in that way
If he says: You’re a really nice person
He actually means: See ya!

3. I need you to stick around
If he says: Let’s be friends
He actually means: You’re not my type, but could you set me up with your hot friend?

4. Not so serious
If he says: We’re seeing each other
He actually means: You’re his first choice but there may be someone else involved.

5. When he wants sex
If he says: This is our fourth date, isn’t it?
He actually means: I WANT SEX

6. Player
If he says: I don’t want anything serious
He actually means: Friends with benefits?chattanooga-choo-choo-dance-o

7. Jealousy
If he says: How many guys have you been with?
He actually means: I’m the best, right?

8. It’s getting serious…
If he says: Introduces you as his girlfriend
He actually means: He no longer introduces you as his “friend” and he more than likely wants you to meet his friends, family etc. Are YOU ready? my-friends-reaction-when-i-asked-why-he-is-still-with-his-bitch-girlfriend-63598
9. Scaredy-cat
If he says: Maybe we need to slow down
He actually means: Maybe you need to slow downnervous-gif

10. It’s love!
If he says: I love you
He actually means: You make me incredibly happy whenever we are together. I think you may be The One.

There is no denying Millie Mackintosh’s fabulous figure – and now she has let us in on the secrets behind it!

It’s not all fun and games for this star though and Millie admits that she works hard for her body and eats healthy.

However, her aim isn’t to the lose weight, but to be toned and strong – we love that!

The former Made in Chelsea star told New! magazine: “Generally I work out five times a week. I won’t always work out with a personal trainer, I do classes too. I’ve been doing a mixture of Pilates, spinning and Barrecore … instead of losing weight, it’s about seeing abs.”

Millie went on to describe her healthy regime, admitting that she does have a cheat day (phew!): “It’s about discipline with what you eat because you can work out but if you eat sh** you’re never going to have a defined stomach … I love eggs for breakfast, so I’ll have an omelette or frittata. I love smoked salmon too, and avocado – so I have fats and protein … For lunch I have a chicken salad with vegetables and quinoa then salmon, broccoli and sweet potato for dinner … I still have cheat days at the weekend, I like to cook a roast.”

Millie is known for her love of a healthy lifestyle and is often pictured in the gym, but it’s nice to see she has her cheat days just like the rest of us!

Swimsuits for All have recreated the 50th anniversary edition of Sports Illustrated with their own version.

The original featured models Chrissy Teigan, Lily Aldridge and Nina Agdal.

However, the swimsuit company have created their very own cover featuring plus-size models Robyn Lawley, Jada Sezer, Shareefa J. and blogger, Gabi Gregg.

The beautiful photos were taken on the beaches of Turks and Caicos and will appear in the company’s upcoming calender.

Gabi shared her thoughts on the shoot in a behind-the-scenes video, saying: “I think it’s sad that the representatives of women in mainstream culture are usually so small just because we have such a diversity of sizes in the real world … so many women see those girls and think they have to look like them. And I know plus-size models and bloggers, like myself, are really helping to change that.”

We think this is great – there is beauty at every size, small or big. You go, ladies!

Jonah Hill has landed himself in serious trouble after using a homophobic slur against a photographer.

The Wolf of Wall Street actor was walking in the Larchmont area of Los Angeles when he was followed by a paparazzo.

In the TMZ video, the photographer can be heard slagging Jonah about his shorts, saying: “I like the short though, bro. They are pretty sexy.”

A few minutes later, he wishes the actor a good day, to which Jonah is heard replying, “S*** my d***, you f****t.”

Though Jonah’s face is not seen in the shot when the slur is shouted, it has been reported that the voice it is that of Jonah Hill.

Hmm, we know it’s never easy to deal with paparazzi, but surely this wasn’t the wisest reaction.

Update: Jonah Hill has issued an apology for his use of a homophobic slur, saying: “What I said in that moment was a disgusting and a hurtful term. Instead, I use a word I don’t use in my personal life, it’s not part of my vernacular. I’m happy to take the heat for using this disgusting word … It would break my heart for anyone to think I would be against anyone for their sexuality.”

Jonah also said that he had been followed by the paparazzo in question all day and is upset with himself for losing his cool.

Do you think Jonah’s apology is enough?
