Starting off at a new job can be so nerve racking i know on my first day I was so anxious and I just felt something would go wrong I was only used to working with family at my other job but I was worried about working with others and how they would perceive me I don't know why I felt like that I was stupid there was nothing to be afraid of so I'm going to share some tips with you just to make it a lot easier.
When your feeling nervous or anxious take a deep breath and a minute to yourself trust me it helps. Have a positive attitude I know for some people they can find this hard to keep a positive frame of mind but having a positive attitude makes everything so much better you will be able to interact with people and that your eager to learn. Dress to blend in with your co-workers before your starts work try and figure out what you need to wear. Show your team spirt show your co-workers that your willing to work as part of a team and help if I don't have anything to do i would go and ask the others to they need help with anything and people really appreciate it when you offer help and it just makes it easier when working with people. Learn everyone's name quickly for me starting off at my new job I already knew everyone to see and I knew there names because we live in a small town and I know if you live in a bigger town or a city it's not so much easier so try and find out a way to learn them find a little way to suit you for example repeating there name over and over in your head when you first meet them. Ask questions/help this is something I get super anxious about because I'm so quiet I feel like I would be bothering people if I ask them questions or help but really I'm not you can't solve everything on your own and if you ask questions you will learn more and it's also another way to get to know the people you work with better just know they aren't going to bite your head off if you ask them a question or for help. Also by asking questions when your unsure about something will make you feel reassured. Take initiative If you see something that needs to be done go do it if you don't have anything to do go ask others do they need help this shows to your employer that your eager to learn and willing to work. If you need to work later work later or if your employer is short staff and needs someone to come in at the weekend offer to come in they will really appreciate it. It shows your willing to work and that you love your job. Avoid gossip when in a working environment people tend to gossip a lot and I starting off this was something I wasn't used to I'm not like that as a person so I just avoided those kind of conversations I just don't pay any attention to it and not say anything but if it's constant and all the time it can get irritating and it will get to you but you have to show it doesn't get to you. Put your phone away your employer doesn't want to see someone on there phone on Twitter or Facebook they want to see you actually working and doing something if you have nothing to do pick up the broom sweep the floor do something. Your phone is a distraction and not having it out keeps you focused on your job. Show appreciation show appreciation to the people that helped you what I do to show this I would take in a packet of biscuits for our lunch break and share them with everyone it makes people's day and they appreciate small things like that. Keep everything neat and organised I love having things organised when I'm working it just makes everything easier and I think it speeds up your work performance. Keep your boss informed and talk to them it's good to talk to your boss if you have a problem with something but make sure it's a major problem not something small they don't want you running to them every two seconds if something goes wrong and you can always ask your co-workers for help. There is some of my tips when starting a new jobs I hope you find these tips useful and let me know if they worked for you. Until next time -Queen Bee (Laura)

Hey bee's as you might have seen on my Instagram I recently had a little benefit haul and I posted a little video of the radiant skincare set so I've been trying it out and I thought I would share with you my thoughts on it.
What it contains
How to use When starting off using the kit it's best to use each item in the following order (1) Foamingly clean facial wash gently apply a small amount of this cleanser to damp skin I applied it in circular motions, I then rinsed with lukewarm water. I took a face cloth and gently patted my skin dry. I instantly felt the difference on my skin it felt so much softer and clean. The cleanser removes any make up and impurities from the skin. (2)Refined facial polish apply after cleansing massage it into the face avoid eye area and rinse with water and dry using a face cloth in patting motions. The polish exfoliates, brightens and minimises the appearance of pores. (3)Moisture Prep Toning lotion apply the toning lotion with a cotton pad to a freshly cleansed face you can use this and skip using the facial polish it's up to you. your skin is instantly hydrated and builds a surface ready to Absorb the moisture ready for moisturising the toning lotion removes any traces of make up or impurities that are left on the skin. (4)Total moisture facial cream provides long time hydration for your skin my skin felt instantly soft ,I gently applied a small amount to my skin in circular motions and I let it soak into my skin. I have quite dry skin and I found this moisturiser worked wonders for me. (5) Facial emulsion the emulsion works wonders it hydrates, protects and comforts the skin. It's extremely light to apply its best to apply to your skin using your fingers. (6) It's potent eye cream I love benefits eye cream I previously got some samples it fades Any dark circles your eyes look instantly brighter. You gently apply a small amount underneath your eyes and let it soak into the skin. By following all these steps it's a great way to prep your skin before applying your make up they can all be used for everyday use. Benefit has always been one of my favourite high end brands and I'm just in love with this skin care set it really is value for money I got this to try it out all the bottles are travel size and come in a zip lock bag which is great for traveling. I love the packaging it looks vintage and certainly is unique. After I used this my skin felt instantly soft and moisturised after a few days I noticed a difference in my complexion it looked so much clearer and brighter. All the products are suitable for sensitive skin which is great because I sometimes find products and they be quite harsh on my skin and I also have dry skin so I'm really impressed how all of these products helped improved it instantly. Oh and the smell of these products I just love the scent it's really fresh I can't pin point what the scent is. You can pick this set up at debenhams for €19.99 Until next time bees -Queen Bee During the sales I decided I would do a bit of online shopping and I went onto boots.ie and I had A little look to see what they had for sale and I ended up getting a few bits so here's what I got.
(1)Sleek Highlighting Palette I've been eyeing this for sometime now and it's highly recommended by beauty bloggers but I've never stumbled across it in any of the shops near me so I thought I would get it. I really like the packaging,the outer case is gold it contains 4 versatile shades for face and body highlighting ecliptic,hemisphere,subsolar and Equinox. These shades are extremely pigmented and will certainly give you a radiant glow to your skin. Price:€13.49 (2) l'oreal blushed nudes palette I seen this palette and I had to get it the colours are so pigmented all the shades have a hint of sparkle to them this palette has a range of shades that you could wear during the day and then alter the look for a dramatic smokey eye for a night out. The packing I love it's almost a rose gold shade I will add a picture down below. Price: €14.99 (3) L'oreal infallible stay fresh 24h foundation I've heard good things about this foundation so I thought I would get it to try It out. I really liked the constancy of it when I applied it to my skin it felt light to wear not heavy which is a good thing it my advice when applying it as its has a pump top that you only use one pump for a sheer coverage and for a medium coverage use two pumps and the great thing about this being a pump foundation as there's no wastage and not a mess you know when you pour out too much by accident. I got this in the shade vanilla so I think it would be prefect for the summer as it has a warmer tone to it because my skin right now it's lighter because of the weather. Price:€15.99 (4)Maybelline Rocket Volum' express waterproof mascara You've probably seen me mention this before in previous blog posts for a long time this was my favourite mascara it still is but I ran out it and I never got around to purchasing another one so I seen this on boots and I thought sure why not. I really like this mascara the wand I love as it catches every single lash and adds volume to my lashes I also love the packaging it's a royal blue like blue for a long time was my favourite colour well it still is but I kinda have a love for purple now. Price: €11.99 (5) Define & conquer contour kit by 17 This is one of boots own brand products and I'm a fan of the 17 range I really love the packaging of this it's so small which is handy as you can just pop it into your bag. This kit contains 2 shades the darker powder is used to define your faces whilst the lighter powder illuminates. Inside there is a little mirror and a little sheet giving you tips on where to apply and how to apply it. I would recommend this set for someone who is starting out with make up and wants to play around with contouring. The only downfall about this for me is that this kit doesn't contain a brush which really and truly it should because it would be a great product for a beginner. Price:€8.49 So there you have it my little boots haul I also got a mirror from boots but i want to talk about that on its own so I will have a blog post about that tomorrow or later on tonight. Also I want to mention that if you spend more €10 I think it's €10 on any 17's products you get a free make up bag and brush set. Until next time bees - Queen Bee Hey Bee's,
I thought I would share with you guys my empty/used up beauty products for this month this is the first empties blog post that I have ever done so I hope you all enjoy. Argan oil cleansing wipes with Moroccan oil extract. I really liked these cleansing wipes they are specially formulated to cleans and refresh you skin by removing any traces of dirt, make up and any other impurities that may be on your skin. This packet contains 15 wipes which really isn't a lot I got them in the €2 shop. Will I purchase again? Yes Rate 6/10 L'oreal true match foundation I was so upset when I used this all up I just loved the texture of this foundation it was so light to wear and it matched my skin tone perfectly it looked really natural when you applied it. Will I purchase again ? Yes Rate 8/10 W7 lip bomb I really love w7's lip bombs they are a dupe for eos lip balms. they leave your lips feeling soft and moisturised i also really liked the scent the one I purchased smelt like strawberries. The last for quite a while mine was put to an end when I dropped it in a puddle of water. Will I purchase again ? Yes Rate 7/10 Maybelline "the rocket volum' express water proof mascara. For such a long time this was my favourite mascara I always had a spare one in my drawer incase it ran out its still would be in my top 5 mascaras. I really like the shape of the wand the mascara clung onto my lashes and added length to my lashes. Super easy to wear feels natural and comfortable it might clump up from time to time that's the only down fall. Will I purchase again ? Yes and I have I ordered some online so I can't wait to get them. Rate 8/10 Smashbox 24hour photo finish shadow primer This was just a sample size it didn't really last long and I wasn't really liking it. It didn't really come out smooth it came out lumpy and it just didn't really stay too long and my eyeshadow didn't last long. Will I purchase again ? No Rate 5/10 W7 primer magic camera ready When I applied this to my skin it instantly felt soft but the only downfall was that it felt oily. I didn't really like it. Will I purchase again ? No Rate 5/10 Urban decay eyeshadow primer eyeshadow base. I really liked this eyeshadow base it came with a little wand which made the application a lot easier. It kept my eyeshadow in place and even enhanced the pigmentation of the shadows. Will I purchase again ? Yes Rate 8/10 W7 Hide 'n' seek colour correction concealer quad. From this quad I would have used the lightest shade I don't feel like it concealed any blemishes or dark circles to well it felt quite heavy when I applied it it wasn't long lasting and the concealer ran out pretty quickly too. Will I purchase again ? No Rate 4/10 There you have it my empties for December I hope you enjoyed this little blog post and plenty more to come In 2016. Until next time bees Queen b |
