for ever more everything I do you'll be done for you you can let them hold you here but Renee is my brother for that we belong with him too late for us I'm coming good bye Paul goodbye are you coming yes yes goodbye Paul goodbye report card time is mighty important in most of our homes as we follow our children's progress through school or college and there's another kind of report that is important to each one of us too the reports on the progress made and the work performed by the railroads in bringing you most of the things you eat wear and use in your daily life these reports show that in 1951 the railroads turned out the second largest job of hauling ever recorded in time of peace in 1951 the average freight train moved more tons of freight and moved them faster than ever before the transportation service performed in an average hours operation measured by the tons of freight moved one mile was nearly 50% more than 10 years ago double that of 20 years ago and almost three times what it was 30 years ago and that is only one measure of railroad progress this great increase in efficiency is due in large part to a program of investment in improved plant and facilities a program which has been carried forward more intensively than ever in the year since the end of world war two just last year for example the railroads put into service almost 85,000 new and larger freight cars and 2,500 new locomotives and they would have installed even more of materials had been available but while railroad reports for 1951 show near record volumes of traffic handled with record efficiency they also show that the rise in wages prices taxes and other expenses has been so much greater than the increase in freight rates which railroads can charge that in 1951 earnings were actually smaller than in other years when traffic was less and efficiency was lower and it is upon these earnings that railroads must depend to carry forward their improvement program a program which means more efficient more dependable more economical transportation for the commerce and the defense of the nation now here is act two of the Lawrence and Lee version of East wind starring Gordon Macrae as Paul and Mimi Benzel as Clodette Mr. Grenier this is my last day in Paris yes Captain my leave ends tonight and I must go back to Saigon but I was told that you might help me locate a young woman one of my students went to Saigon Clodette yes I was afraid it would lead to unhappiness she married my brother a despicable young man Mr. Grenier where has he taken her do you have any idea where Clodette is now I know exactly where she is oh please miss you take me to her what is Clodette doing in this cabaret singing for her supper since her husband does not truth to feed her I believe this is her number Madam a miss you the club continental presents the incomparable Clodette I've looked all over Paris for you why did you try to find me where is Renee oh he turns up from time to time when he needs money I can't bear to see you sing in a place like this my heart is as old as the sky and much more empty Clodette do you need money no take this I can't please I'm leaving for Saigon at midnight tonight Clodette come with me back to the east and the east wind she will not go with you Renee because she's married to me if you would treat her with decency listen to the preacher tell me what's right and wrong and meanwhile you'll run off with your brother's wife that the idea is right Clodette I never should have asked you to leave him I'm going now I doubt very much we will ever see each other again no God be with you Paul Papa grannier how long has it been since I sat in your classroom conjugating Latin verb a mo a month a month only three years three centuries surely you do not mourn for Renee mourn for him he died as he lived by virus now that you're free from him Clodette surely there is someone else Paul he's half a world away the east wind will never bring him back to me back to Paris but you love him oh Papa grannier I'd be a fool the rest of my life singing melancholy song to an empty cabaret not quite empty my child you're my best audience Papa grannier didn't you notice a certain army officer hiding in the shadows where grannier you you promised what's happened to you Paul what's wrong well a soldier's life isn't exactly a safe one for that you're wounded it's not too serious he'd be much better soon what I am Clodette perhaps we can see each other again now is the time you need me oh no no I'd be a burden to you oh don't you want me what kind of talk is this pride self pity well will you let that ruin your life together so everything's not perfect what difference does it make you're in love aren't you of course Papa grannier you know we are then I give you good odds the Sun will rise on time tomorrow and the world is a wonderful place if you want it to be oh yes if you wanted to be Mimi Benzel will be back in just a moment meanwhile thanks to Paul Fries her Butterfield and our entire company Eastwind with music by Sigmund Romberg and book and lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein the second was dramatized by Lawrence and Lee the railroad hours brought you each week at this time by the American railroads the railroads last year hauled a near record peacetime volume of freight yet despite all the service railroads performed their earnings were less than in years when traffic volume was lower that's because wages and prices railroads must pay have gone up much farther and faster than have their revenues today when the railroads are playing an important part in our defense program and preparing for even bigger jobs ahead it's important to you the railroads be permitted earnings that will let them go full steam ahead on their huge program of improvement to the end that they will be able to provide even more and better transportation service and now here again is our petite guest Mimi Benzel Gordon I'm convinced the show train is the fastest thing on wheels you think so Mimi well how else could we make two round trips to Indochina in just half an hour well next Monday night I'm

In this tutorial, I want to show you how to create a super easy glam look. I created this look using just 10 easy steps, which I'm going to share with you. I also have some tips and tricks along the way so that even if you have very limited time, you can still find time to feel glam. Now, if you're new here to the Makeup Chair channel and you enjoy tutorials like this, then I might suggest hitting the subscribe button below. It's totally free. And if you're already subscribed, then thank you and welcome back. Now let's get started. I wanted to share with you some of my favorite things in this video too. One of my favorite things I'm actually looking at right now, hence that very goofy smile on my face. I am looking at Mr. Davey. I also wanted to have a candle lighting behind me while I was getting ready. So these candles are by Put Your Feet Up. It's actually Davey's cousin's brand. One of my absolute favorite ones is Fireside. I don't know how they do it, but it smells like a fireside. It has this like sweet but smoky scent. It's so beautiful. And I wanted to like this and have this lighting behind me while I was filming, but a couple of times that's kind of gone wrong because I've forgotten that there's candles behind me. But if you are looking for some natural wax candles made here in Ireland, definitely check them out. And Fireside is one of my favorites. This is not sponsored. I just want to support local and also to support family. My very favorite makeup tip that I have for you when you need to get ready in a hurry is to split your application into two parts. So say you're having friends over and you have to clean the house and get your food prepped.  So I'm talking about your foundation, eyeshadow primer, concealer, lip balm, brows. The most boring parts. I want you to do those first. Take that little time to do those things first. This will take the stress away because you know that you're already halfway done.  I didn't want to hide it up. Maybe you need to pick out what you want to wear. And now I'm ready to get super glam. Now the brushes that I'm using today are the Blancavis Cosmetics Deluxe Holiday Collection. I am a brand ambassador for Blancavis Cosmetics, but I also want to support as many Irish brands as I can in this video. So of course I was going to use Blancavis Cosmetics. So taking their eyeliner brush, I'm going to take a product by Up Cosmetics. It's a cream to powder eyeshadow. This is available in the selection box by Up Cosmetics. Again, another Irish brand. And the very first step is to apply that cream to powder product all over the lid. So you can use a brush or you can use your fingertips. What I absolutely love about this cream product is the fact that it goes on so quick and easy and it looks like you have made such an effort in a very short amount of time.  But we are going to add some extra steps.  You're going to apply this on the outer edge of the eye and blend this into the crease to add some shape and dimension to the eye shape. Now this is the palette that we're going to be using for the face as well. Honestly, if you are looking to get ready in a hurry, my other tip is to minimize how many products that you're using.  Another tip is to hold your brush a little further down in the handle and this will soften your application, meaning that we are applying the eyeshadow and blending it at the same time. Step number three is to take a slightly darker shade and just apply this on the outer edge of the eye, again using the same blending brush. I'm focusing this mostly on the lid area, so right by the lashes and mostly on the outer edge as well, just to create a very soft, smoky eye. Keeping with that same blending brush, I've just taken a tissue and swirled the brush over the tissue just to take off any excess product and then I'm just going to use this to very softly blend out any harsh lines. And you should end up with something that looks like this. So we have a little bit of depth right at the lash line, but then it's really blown out and smoky. You can apply mascara at this point, head out the door, but we are going to add some extra steps. So taking a clean blending brush, we're going to move on to step number four and this is to take your favorite blush or in my case I'm going to be using the blush from this palette and just apply this into the crease of the eye. This is just going to add a gentle fade and a little bit more structure to the eye look as well. Moving on to step number five. I'm going to take a small brush or you can use your fingertips and something with like a sheer shimmer. So what I love about this eye shadow is because it's like a shimmer set with a sheer base, it looks great over lights and darks and it also adds the most beautiful sparkle in a very short amount of time. Moving on to step number six. I'm going to go ahead and apply some mascara and some falsies. I put these together because some people don't apply falsies and some people already have eyelash extensions on. So I kind of blurred the two of them together. I'm also using my favorite lashes at the moment which are the Hawaii lashes by Baby Doll. Again, another Irish brand and I wanted to support an Irish brand. I actually met a couple of the girls just by chance and started chatting to them and they were so lovely, so shout out to them. I absolutely love these lashes. They are so soft. Like literally that's probably why they're called Baby Doll because they're like Baby Doll lashes. You remember those Baby Dolls that had the lashes? Like they're so soft and fluffy. That's what these lashes are like. For step number seven, we're going to take a blending face brush and we're going to take the shadow that we used on the eyes. So a little bit of that contour shade. Now because it is an eyeshadow, a very small amount goes a long way. You're only picking up a very small amount and blending as you go. Remember you can always add, but you can't take away. For step number eight, we're going to go ahead and we're going to mix up the shimmer and the blush eyeshadow or if you want to and you have the Up Cosmetics selection box, you can use Spotlight which, oh my goodness, I need to do an entire video on Spotlight but just to say what I'm doing right now before I talk about Spotlight and get off in a tangent, I'm mixing a little bit of the blush and the Spotlight together and applying this as my blush on my cheeks. But anyway, Spotlight. I use it for my eyes, I use it for my face, I use it with my lip glosses. It works in so many different ways. I've even sparkled a little bit in my hair. It is such a beautiful product, highly recommend it. A little goes a long way and it is so shimmery and gorgeous. I love it. We only have two more steps to go so we're going to take a quick break and be back with the last two steps. And we are back. I just finished off my hair, got changed, applied my jewelry and we can move on to step number nine which is to apply a lip liner. Now the lip liner I chose for this look is by Clarence. The reason I picked this is because they do have an Irish connection and they do work with the B Sanctuary of Ireland. This is actually in a village called Kula Fancy which is one of the coolest names over villages that I've ever heard. I'm sure I'm saying it wrong but it just feels more fun to say Kula Fancy and that is in County Wicklow and that's the main reason that I picked Clarence because I wanted to highlight an Irish French that is doing some good for Ireland. And I also love this lip liner because it is basically like one of those pens that you had in school. It has two eyeliners and two lip liners within this pen. The red is such a classic red and it goes with so many shades of red that I already own but one thing that I like to do is I like to apply a little bit of the black eyeliner as well. So once I've kind of cleaned up around my lips and making sure I get a good shape I then take a little bit of the black. You don't have to do this but what I do is I add a bit of shading using the black over the red to kind of blur them together when I want to slightly overline. As you can see it's very very very subtle but as my lipstick kind of shade kind of fades I'm not going to lose any of that definition because I have a mixture of black and red right where I need to overline. To finish off the look we're going to do step number 10 which is to apply a lipstick and I'm using the Up Cosmetics Berry Red Lipstick which is also available in the selection box. What I love about this particular shade of lipstick is that it's not too glossy it's not too matte, it's somewhere in between and it's also the most classic red shade. It's one of those shades that when you put it on you cannot help but smile. That's what I call this red. This is like a classic smiley red. When you have this on you feel like you can't stop smiling. I don't really like my smile but this red lipstick makes me feel like smiling. I feel like an old Hollywood actress on a red carpet whenever I wear this shade of red. And then there you go, that is the finished look. I really hope that you enjoyed it. It is about 10 steps so kind of about 10 minutes because some steps are really quick and easy to do. I know I haven't been on here very often actually after I filmed this I had a very unfortunate episode with my chronic illness. I'll probably share more over on my Instagram if you're interested in checking that out. Basically I almost ended up having to call an ambulance which I'm sure if they'd walked in with me looking like this being full glam I'm sure they would have thought it was very very strange but that's just the curse of living with an invisible illness. Full glam but feel really terrible inside. I laugh about it now but at the time I was pretty upset. About how I actually haven't achieved as much as I wanted this year and I felt kind of bad about it but then I thought you know what no I'm gonna just keep going with my list just because I've only had 12 months to complete the things and I've only got maybe 3 or 4 of them done that's okay. This is why I always say just to be kind to yourself be kind to others and remember that you're doing the best that you can giving your circumstances so I hope the end of your year is a happy one and that the start of your next one is even better I'm sending so much love to all of you as always my friends continue to be kind to yourself continue to be kind to others you are doing the best you can and that's awesome and I'll see you soon.
