Halloween sugar skull make-up

 

 

 

 

 

Hello!!

 

Something a little bit different today and to be honest, I'm a little bit nervous to post it, eek!! I decided to try my hand at doing sugar skull make up. I know it's become a big thing for Halloween and I think they're so beautiful that I really wanted to have a go myself. It's definitely not perfect but I was quite impressed for my first attempt and if any Halloween plans come my way I think I'll definitely be going with this idea.

 

If any of you fancy having a go yourself there are lots of amazing tutorials all over the Internet but I just played it by ear. I didn't have to buy much for it either. I purchased a white powder from Claire's accessories which I buffed into the skin for the base, my floral crown is from there too. Everything else were just eye shadows and liners I already had so you could certainly use different colours to vary it.

 

Hope you enjoyed today's post. It's definitely made me want to get a but more creative with my blog and try a few more things like this. Let me know what you think.

The best dry shampoo

 

Hello!!

 

I wanted to let you know about the best dry shampoo I have ever tried. Herbal Essences have recently launched the clearly naked line which are all paraben and colourant free. I haven't tried any other products from this range yet but my oh my, the dry shampoo is the stuff of lazy girl, haircare dreams. The smell is amazing. It's really minty and fresh, a bit like spraying a mohito in your hair! It's completely undetectable in the hair with no white patchiness at all, it does a really good job of getting rid of greasiness too. It's been on offer in most shops recently as it's still new so I'm planning on stocking up and would suggest you all do the same!

 

Hope you enjoyed today's post. I have a couple of slightly different things planned for the near future that I'm really excited for so keep a look out for those!

Lush does Christmas

Hello!!

I can go a whole year without stepping foot in Lush but as soon as the weather starts to turn colder I know it's only a matter of time before they bring out there Christmas range and I become the biggest Lush fan ever! This year is no exception and I thought I'd share with you what I've bought so far.

This first one is called Northern lights and is a bath bomb. I think this one is actually supposed to be a sparkler and made for bonfire night. This is a new one and I haven't had a chance to try it yet but I'm fully expecting  a colour explosion in the bath if it's supposed to be a fire work. To me it smells quite lavendery which isn't something that reminds me of bonfire night at all but it's pleasant enough any way.

 

This delicious looking thing is the Candy Mountain bubble bar. The thing I like most about the bubble bars is that, unlike the bath bombs, they last a few bath times. This one smells so gorgeous I could actually eat it. For any fans of Snow Fairy (Lush's famous Christmas shower gel), it smells exactly like that. Incredibly sweet and sugary and very christmasy!

 

Now how cute is this little guy! This is the Melted Snowman bath melt. Sadly mine lost his nose and if I'm honest I had to balance one of his eyes back on to take the picture but he's very sweet all the same. He smells quite spicy and christmasy without being too overpowering.

I've definitely saved my favourite to last here. Cinders is Christmas in a bath bomb. It smells so spicy and warming and has little pieces of popping candy in it that sounds like a crackling fire when your in the bath. I will definitely be stocking up on these while there still in stores and would definitely recommend everyone to do the same.

This is all I've got for now but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't going to get more. Autumn and winter is all about having lovely, warm baths for me and adding a festive lush treat makes it even better. I'll keep you posted with any of the others I try. Hope you enjoyed today's post.

Zoella Beauty

Hello!!

I realise it's been a while since I've posted, I lost my blogging mojo for a little bit but I can safely say that the Autumn weather has brought it back and I've got lots of new ideas and things I want to share with you.

The lovely Zoella has brought her own beauty range out and I couldn't have been more excited. I know this has been talked about all over the Internet now but I've watched Zoe and read her blog posts for years and wanted to share what I thought for the few of you left who still haven't heard about the blue eyed beauty (where have you been?) Have a little browse of her blog here.

I only purchased two items from the range, mostly because a lot of them were sold out, Zoe's a popular girl. From what I've seen, the whole range looks incredible and has captured Zoe's cute, quirky style perfectly. I'm in love with both items I purchased, I mean who doesn't want a Guinea pig on there makeup bag. The Blissfull Mistfull is gorgeous too, very sweet and fresh and perfect for just chucking in your bag.

You can get Zoe's products from Superdrug stores and feelunique.com and if you get the chance I would definitely have a look because I think they're lovely.

Hope you enjoyed today's post, expect more soon!

Summer favourites

Hello!!

Today I'm going to be talking you through a few things that I've been enjoying using through the summer months. Hope you all enjoy!

First up is the Dove essential nourishing lotion. I have the one for dry skin which isn't something I really suffer with but I always find they're a little bit more nourishing which I enjoy any way. This has the loveliest scent which really lingers. It's especially nice before bed as I find it really comforting and you wake up in the morning with silky soft skin.

 Next is a strange one but something my feet are really grateful for in the summer is the micro-pedi. This is basically an electric foot buffer. It's a little bit disgusting I know but using this a couple of times a week in the summer months gets rid of any nasty, hard skin on my feet and leaves them smooth and sandal ready.

Next is the benefit They're real push up liner. I've mentioned this before in a blog post which you can read here. This is the only eye liner that I've managed to do something that resembles a winged effect. Between the gel formula and the shape of the nib it really does most of the work for you. It doesn't budge all day either so you don't have to worry about re-applying throughout the day.

Next is the Elemis balancing lime blossom cleanser. I have oily to combination skin and absolutely love this for clearing up any un-wanted oiliness on my skin. I can't explain how nice it smells. I use this before bed to take my make up off and can smell it for ages after, it's amazing. I can see a difference in my skin already since I've started using this and would definitely recommend it for any one with a similar skin type to me.

Next is my first ever Essie purchase and I love it. The colour is Naughty Nauticle and I think it's so gorgeous. It's a really bright turquoise colour that I've worn all the way through summer. It's bright without being too in your face and I think it's a little bit different from the usual summer brights. I find it lasts on the nails really well too, I'll definitely be trying more Essie polishes in the future.

Next is the mac lipstick in creme cup. I'd eyed this up on every mac visit and finally got it a few months ago. I've worn it nearly every day since I got it and think it looks nice with a smokey eye or just on it's own for every day. I was worried that it would wash me out a bit as it's on the paler side but it doesn't at all.

That's it for today. Hope you enjoyed this little round up and it's given you some ideas on new things to try.
