Ever since she shot to fame on social media, the cosmetics queen - real name
The Glasgow influencer has amassed 985,000 subscribers on YouTube and 1.3million Instagram followers over the years.
Since having her daughter Romy almost two years ago, she's admitted that her own self-care time has become more limited.
In a recent video, she revealed the "toddler mum makeup" routine she swears by - and other parents are loving it.

She joked: "All the people that said 'good luck getting your makeup done when you've got a toddler', you were right. But I figured it out.
"I've got a makeup bag, it's called my Go Bag, and I have figured out a makeup that takes like four minutes and it's really nice.
"I'm going to cheat today because Romy's not here, but just know that when I do this makeup, I'm usually wrestling my daughter from stealing all my things.
"I remember doing makeup with Romy in her carrier, a tiny wee baby, a sleeping baby. And I was like, look at me. Yeah, obviously it was f***ing easy [then]."

Jamie started off with a pricey £135 BIOEFFECT EGF serum which she hailed as "absolutely bonkers" for how good it is, although we're sure a cheaper alternative would suffice.
For foundation, she then "keeps it really light" with her own-brand Skin Nova Complexion Balm mixed in with serum.
I'm a 34-year-old mum and tried the unrecognisable make-up trend - people say I look like a new person
"It turns into this kind of watery tint, but it is so good", she says.
"It is so sheer, which makes it really easy. Just fresh and nice and it feels obviously like skincare."

Next, she adds concealer to "wherever she needs it" for some extra coverage before patting on cream bronzer to give her face some dimension and a blush balm to "add radiance to her cheeks".
She adds: "I bring it right up, like really close to under my eyes and it hides eye bags."
Jamie then adds her Nova Glow Liquid Light highlighter before turning her attention to her eyebrows with a Benefit brow pencil to "sketch in" the missing parts at the end and a brow gel to set them in place.
She continues: "And then I've just been wearing mascara and because I don't have any other eye makeup on, I just do a really nice coat that gets them looking long and dark, but not massive."

Nearing the end of her routine, Jamie then adds some lip balm and liner.
She says: "It's not fussy at all, is it? It's just really nice.
"I really do think it's all in the cheeks and the lips. And a little bit of setting spray.

"No matter how much makeup you're wearing, setting spray makes all the difference.
"And then sometimes a powder, sometimes I don't. If you love powder or you're oily, go for it.
"If you're not, leave it. But that's the makeup. So fast and easy. It looks really lovely."
"This is my toddler mum makeup. I hope it helps the toddler mum in need.

"I love doing this makeup at the weekends, especially when we're out doing activities and things and we're getting family photos because I do like having something on, but I'm not really arsed about it being glam."
Toddler mums react
Jamie's makeup tutorial racked up more than 490,000 views.
One mum gushed: "This look effortless and stunning!!"
A second wrote: "I've recently discovered the go bag too! Simple stuff but I know what I'm grabbing."

One said: "I used to give my daughter a make up bag with empty products in it and that uses to help haha."
Meanwhile, another revealed: "I give my daughter a mirror and clean makeup brush and boom we do it together. I'm able to do make face."

UK rapper's song slammed for blaming gardai and migrants for ‘trouble and violence'
'Like all genres of music rap can be used to benefit social conscience or it can be used to attack it, and we would see this as an attack' One of the scenes featured in the video One of the scenes shot at Johnnie Foxes in Dublin A song released by an infamous UK gangster turned rapper calling for Ireland's freedom from 'guards and migrants' has been slammed by an anti-racist group. Jordan McCann who wrote a hit song while on parole from prison has racked up millions of views on social media and says he is making six-figures from his new career. While previous songs have been about the danger and lure of the gangster lifestyle his latest offering suggests Ireland is troubled by violence due to migrants. Also featuring on the song 'Free Ireland' which this week already had nearly 500,000 views on YouTube, is Dublin singer Conor McLoughlin. One of the lines in the song reads: 'Free, free, free Ireland from all the trouble and the violence. Free, free, free Ireland from all guards and the migrants.' The video for the song that was posted on YouTube starts with a man in Dublin shouting at a line of gardai in riot gear: 'The batterings will continue until the plantation is complete.' The idea that people in European countries are being replaced and their countries 'planted' is an international far-right conspiracy theory. The introduction also features clip from the November riots in Dublin in the wake of a young child and others being stabbed in Parnell Square. Convicted crminal turned rapper Jordan McCann (black hat) in Dublin News in 90 Seconds - August 16th The video was filmed in several well-known tourist site in Dublin including Merchant's Arch, the GPO, O'Connell Street, the city quays as well as in Jobstown and at Johnnie Fox's pub in the Dublin Mountains. McCann also alludes to his Irish roots in the track and how his 'grandfather left on a boat for England' and 'Irish to the core, so it's Guinness that I'm drinking.' Other lyrics are less sympathetic to immigrants: 'Heroes got blasted and died for these bastards so open the floodgates, swear that is backwards.' Gardai are seen intervening as McCann filmed on O'Connell Street last month where a crowd gathered around him. The video also features Conor McLoughlin The music video finishes with a photograph of Michael Collins and a quote from the revolutionary leader on Irish nationality. Damian Farrell of Dublin Communities Against Racism (DCAR) said that while he was not aware of McCann's video specifically, he believes they are not representative of the majority of people. 'Generally speaking, rap artists like this have a media platform and inherit a space where the person who is the loudest is heard the most. 'They are able to broadcast and amplify what is after all just their opinion. 'So, a lot of the work we do is in dispelling the narrative that these videos are the only message out there. They're not. McCann and McLoughlin in the video 'It is the hidden voices that Dublin Communities Against Racism represent that we are trying to encourage. 'We work with a wide range of ethnic minorities in doing more to make those voices heard without putting themselves in physical danger. 'People like rap music', Mr Farrell added, 'and like all genres of music it can be used to benefit social conscience or it can be used to attack it, and we would see this as an attack. 'And the exploitation of fake sense of nationalism that is promoted through the anti-immigration campaign and elected representatives who should know better creates a society that is of no use to anyone. One of the scenes shot at Johnnie Foxes in Dublin 'The people who are involved in these kinds of videos are not being empowered, they are being used and exploited in a way that, ironically, is the same as they use immigrants to blame for all the ills in our society that we are endeavouring to combat.' The music clip also features Conor McLoughlin who last year won the approval of five judges during an episode of The Voice on ITV. He appeared at the blind auditions and won the attention from each of the celebrity judges with his rendition of Ed Sheeran's 'I See Fire'. Tom Jones, Leann Rimes, Tom Fletcher and Danny Jones hit their button to turn their chairs around. He previously took part in BBC's Let It Shine in 2017. While in west Dublin Jordan McCann stopped to pose for pics with Lee McDonnell a notorious violent criminal. McDonnell has 133 previous convictions, including for robbery, aggravated burglary and escaping from lawful custody. He was part of a group of young west Dublin criminals who were causing havoc in their late teens and early 20s who had been mentored by older criminals with links to veteran gangster Derek 'Dee Dee' O'Driscoll. McDonnell previously hit the headlines going on the run for five weeks after escaping from a prison van in Inchicore after prison officers stopped at a chipper. Compared to O'Loughlin McCann's route to showbiz has been a lot tougher who has said interviews that he grew up in jail. In 2016 he was among 13 people subject to court orders sought by police in Manchester and Salford to stop a gang feud after a series of shootings. One of the scenes featured in the video He belonged to a well-known criminal family in Salford, Greater Manchester, and has been convicted of violent crime, armed robbery, gang affiliations and drug dealing. He was in prison when his breakthrough moment came as his Lifestyle track was released and proved to be a big success. In an interview with the Manchester Evening News in 2023 he said he realised he had to turn away from crime after being sentenced to six and a half years aged 19. 'I was just thinking, 'I'm not coming home now for years, I'm living around all these same people, I lived by this f***ing code, I've been the [most loyal] guy, I've been the realest guy' and it does get you nowhere. 'I just realised, 'bang' this life is the fakest life in the world'.' 'After growing up in prison and seeing so many scenarios and people I've looked up to and seeing some of the moves that they pull themselves, I realised it's inevitable in this life bad things are gonna come.' 'Nothing good's gonna come, when money gets involved, when girls get involved people are gonna f*** people over.'

Emmerdale makes embarrassing social media blunder – and it involves sister soap Coronation Street
EMMERDALE made a rather embarrassing social media blunder - and it involved their sister soap Coronation Street. The soaps both air on ITV during the week, and are both filmed up north. 3 Emmerdale made an embarrassing social media blunder with this photo Credit: Instgram 3 The picture was of Corrie characters Abi and Carl - so had been posted to the wrong ITV soap account Credit: ITV Advertisement 3 The pair are having a steamy affair on the soap Credit: ITV However, in a social media blunder, ITV posted a picture on Emmerdale's Instagram account, that was teasing a Coronation Street story. Realising their mistake, the photo was removed and reposted on the Corrie handle instead. The picture was of mechanic Abi, played by Sally Carman-Duttine, and her brother-in-law Carl (Jonathan Howard). Advertisement The two characters are embroiled in an affair, but things could be about to change after they were captured on camera. Sally recently spoke about her character's dramas on the cobbles, including her secret fling with her brother-in-law. "It's complete lust at first sight," Sally told Ok!. "There's that undeniable chemistry – it's palpable. They just click. It was an instant attraction – they bounced off each other and it reignites something in Abi that's been dormant for ages. Advertisement "She's an addict and this gives her a thrill. It's a different kind of thrill, but it's exhilarating for her." Meanwhile, in real life actress Sally is actually happily married to a fellow Corrie star. In the same interview, she opened up about why working with her husband on the soap is a nightmare. Watch the moment Coronation Street's Carl Webster makes a move on sister-in-law Abi Webster Sally married co-star Joe Duttine in 2022, who plays taxi boss Tim Metcalfe. But she said in a recent interview that she would happily never work with him again if she could help it. Advertisement 'I'd be very happy never to have a scene with him ever again,' she joked. 'I love Joe to bits, but I don't like working with him – I'm never going to like working with him." Sally added: "Bless him, we've got very different work processes – let's just put it like that. I like to come fully prepared and he likes to flesh it out on the floor." "Also, he's very funny. I'm such a giggler and once I've gone, I'm gone. It's terrible and even if people get annoyed about it, it doesn't help." She continued: "He absolutely makes me howl with laughter and he does it on purpose. I get cross with him because he knows the situation, but he can't help himself.' Advertisement Sally and Joe quickly fell in love after she first joined Corrie in 2017 and became engaged three years late. They finally tied the knot in 2022 after having to put their wedding on hold due to the pandemic.
