OOTD: Subtle Halloween Look

Happy Halloween!!

Sadly today I'm off to work and can't go out trick or treating, to a party, into town tonight etc. That means no costumes for me today! :( So I thought i'd subtly add a little something different to my make up to jazz things up and slightly dress up, but not haha (:






















This is what I wore today:

• Forever 21 Blazer
• H&M Shirt Dress
• Primark Leopard Belt
• Primark Tights

 On my eyes I wore Urban Decay: Half Baked on the lid, smog in the crease and darkhorse to deepen up the outer corner, I then took liquid liner and lined my eyes creating a wing. To jazz up the make up I took the eyeliner and made "C" and "O" shapes to create a leopard print effect.

Lush Haul + Mini Reviews

I recently had a little trip to Lush and picked up some goodies! So thought I'd share with you guys what I bought and also little reviews of what I think so far (:

 "So White" Bath Bomb -

A bath of pure white apple temptation on the outside – a secret colourful heart on the inside.

To me this is a very fresh and clean smelling bath bomb therefore it's great for either male or female! The water then turns pink, it doesn't contain any glitter or such therefore it doesn't leave a rim which some lush bath bombs do leave meaning I need to properly clean my bath afterwards! Would 100% repurchase this - great for stocking fillers etc for the cold Winter nights! (:

 "Happy Blooming" Bath Melt - 

Cocoa butter and passionflower seed oil will soften and nourish the skin. We’ve also packed this with calamine powder to give a cool, smooth feel when you step out of the bath.

We’ve packed as much fruit into this little bar as we could – with dried cherries, freshly-squeezed passion fruits and a lovely cherry fragrance.

This product smells so good, sweet and fruity! Yummy (: It's very soft to the skin and will melt very quickly as it starts to melt even with the heat from my hands. I have yet to try this in the bath myself but I have heard many great things about this product. Another great thing about this is you can break it into three pieces to enjoy on three different occasions. I have also heard that these are getting discontinued so if you enjoy this product - get down to Lush and stock up!



"Vanilla Puff" Dusting Powder -

A blend of light powders to slide over the skin leaving it silky to the touch – combined with a rich vanilla fragrance that lasts for hours.

This was the product that surprised me most as I'm not one to be all that keen on Vanilla scented products but as soon as I picked it up I knew I had to get it! Strange... either way, it's lovely and does just as it says; left my skin really soft and the scent lasted for quite a while - it wasn't too strong either therefore didn't alter the scent of my perfume and such.






"Honey I Washed The Kids" Soap -

You can wash the kids in this if you want, but make sure you get your share of this honey toffee-scented addictive soap! Don’t blame us if a fight breaks out over it - buy several to avoid family rifts. The family that washes together stays together.

Favourite soap from Lush! Will forever continue to repurchase, so sweet and just smells and feels amazing. Nothing else I can say about it really (:









"Fresh Farmacy" - Cleanser - Sample Size

To make this soap gentle enough for use on the face, we cut down the amount of soap in it and replace it with other ingredients to help the skin. This makes a mild soap that is great for both face and body.

This cleanser is nice, it does the job but i'm not that keen on the scent. In my opinion nothing special and I usually prefer a cleanser in liquid form. So this is something that I wouldn't recommend which is quite unusual as Lush products are amazing!

Make Up for Sick Days

Feeling rubbish? Have a cold or even just not had enough sleep but still need to look presentable? Here's how to achieve a simple look that will make you look more awake and healthy! (:

Face:
Soap and Glory- The Righteous Butter & Revelon ColorStay.
A tinted moisturiser would be best suited for your skin while ill as this is very quick and is easily blendable. If you do not have a tinted moisturiser at hand then use your favourite moisturiser and a thin layer of foundation .

Revelon PhotoReady concealer & DaintyDoll concealer
Use concealer to hide the purple/dark circles under your eyes (one with a yellow undertone will work best as it will cancel out the purple), around your nose and any blemishes.

Elf Contouring Blush & Bronzing Powder
The light pink will put just that little flush of colour into your cheeks, giving your skin that nice healthy glowy appearance. Using the bronzer to contour is optional but I feel if you have enough time to do so it is worth is as it slims down your face if it is looking slightly puffy. To do this you make the shapes of a '3' and an 'E' on either side of your face. Starting at your forehead  then to where your cheekbones are and under your chin, remember to blend this out.

Eyes:
Urban Decay Primer Potion,  Naked 2 - Foxy, Bootycall and Tease, Nyx Jumbo Eye pencil - Milk
Firstly start off by priming your eyes, this will ensure that the shadows stay in place the whole day. To make the eyes look more awake use a light, slightly champagne/pink colour as this will brighten them up. Put this colour all over the lid (Bootycall) then take your crease colour (Tease- slightly darker brown/pruple colour) this will create depth and dimension, place this into the hollows of your eyes in circular motions ensuring it is well blended with the lid colour a lot of people tend to go for coral colours but I feel this makes my eyes look a lot redder than they actually are.. Highlighting under the brow is important as this will lift your eyes (Foxy). Place Nyx jumbo eye pencil in milk in the inner corners and 1/3 of the way in on the lower lashline and blend, this will again make your eyes look more awake and brighten them up.

Collection 2000 liquid liner, Maybelline colossal volume express cat eyes
Using a liquid liner to line the eyes is effective as it does not smudge as easily therefore if your eyes do water then there is less worry about having to re-do your make up. Line the top lid however you would like. Avoid lining the water line this is again if your eyes do begin to water there is no chance of it being smudged. Using waterproof mascara will again prevent any smudging!

Lips:
A coloured lip balm or butter will be most effective as it gives you that slight colour but again for smudging you don't want to be constantly touching up and these are just so easy to apply and don't need to worry about it being perfect.

Hope this helps!
