October Favourites

The leaves have fallen & it's starting to get crisp outside. Here are my October favourites.

1. Dressing gown

It's got to that time of year when I really appreciate my dressing gown. Putting that soft & fluffy coat on every morning is a joy! I do miss it during the summer so as soon as it hit October, I whacked it out again!

2. Foundationless

Back in the day I wouldn't have been caught dead outside my house without a full face of foundation. This month I've loved having a break from it. I got to a point over summer where I felt like my face was just full of makeup so I decided to take a break & only use a bit of concealer to cover any blemishes. 

Halloween | Pumpkin Fun

When it comes to Halloween, I think everyone is secretly still a kid at heart. We all love to decorate the house, dress up & carve a pumpkin or two.

I love carving pumpkins even though I'm pretty rubbish at it! I'm not all that creative but I still had all the tools out that I could find including screw drivers. Yes, screw drivers.

Happy Halloween!

Halloween | Vampire How To

Here's a quick 'how to' for  a Vampire inspired makeup for Halloween :)

What you'll need:

I used a mix of beauty products & 'costume' products which were from Asda. I just made sure that I had a black eyeshadow, red eyeshadow or cream & plenty of liner!

The rest you can do as you please :)

Oh & don't forget the fake blood. Essential to any Halloween outfit

Step 1

Line your bottom lashes with a red eyeliner or face paint

Step 2

Cover your lid with red eyeshadow & wing out slightly. Make sure you put plenty into your crease to define your eyes.

Step 3

Use a black eyeshadow in your crease & around the outside corner of your eye & use a white eyeshadow to highlight your inner corner & brow bone

Step 4

Line your lid with a liquid liner to get that defined look 

Step 5

Define those eyebrows making them darker than you would usually go!

Step 6

Line those lips, add a deep red lippy & go crazy with the mascara! Finish off by adding some fake blood around the corner of the mouth for that Halloween factor.

And there you have it! A quick & simple way to vampire yourself up!
