Hallowen 2015

This year I had a party to attend so I wen all out with my Halloween costume, Int the past I have generally just played with makeup and worn regular clothes because I had no where to go. I tried a little bit harder with my outfit this year although I think it is still evident that I put more time and effort in to the make up.

I have recorded myself getting ready, it is by no means perfect but definitely an improvement on previous years and I hope I will only continue to improve next year.

The two more yellow photos were taken with the flash on and the top right photo was no flash

My 2015 Zombie Look

This is a zombie look I did in 2013. Do you think I have improved?

Current Favourites

I don't think I have ever done a favourites post before so here goes my first one. You will probably notice a recurring theme in these products, I love things that have multiple uses. These favourites are in no particular order.

Current Favourites

Goodness Chia Seed Oil - I recently bought the Goodness Skin Care trial kit and I really love all of the products in the kit but I especially love the Chia Seed Oil. I use it morning and night, it really helps to moisturise my skin and calm my breakouts. I have also noticed since switching to the Goodness skin care range my lips have been a lot less dry. This Oil also works great on my cuticles.

Sukin Hydrating Mist Toner - I also picked up this toner when I bought the Goodness Kit, I had used it before and I remembered it being nice so I thought I'd give it another go. I think I love it even more this time around. I use it after washing my face before applying the Chia Seed Oil and moisturiser. I also use it before applying my makeup and after to set down any powders. Its also great as a refreshing mist throughout the day. Plus it has a lovely rose smell. I practically bathe myself in this mist twice a day.

Nars Albatross - Before I bought this I rarely highlighted my face and if I did I would just use an eyeshadow. Albatross has started my love affair with all things shimmery. I use this product as a face highlight as well as an eyeshadow. It is such a lovely colour although sometimes I feel it can be a little strong as a face highlight for everyday but it is great for a more glam look and makes a beautiful lid colour.

Maybelline Colour Tattoo in Barely Branded - I use this in basically the same way as I use the Nars Albatross, although this colour is more of a champagne gold and I find it gives a much more natural look for everyday. I also use this on the eyes either as a base for other colours or just on its own. I love this product as my everyday face highlight and if you want an extreme highlight you can layer the Colour Tattoo with the Nars Albatross. It is a cream product but it dries and lasts forever on the skin.

Rimmel Natural Bronzer in Sun Bronze - I also never really bronzed my face before getting this bronzer, I always thought I was too pale for bronzer and I would end up looking orange. This bronzer is  a great colour and the pigmentation is not too strong, so you can build up the colour to your liking. On a everyday basis I will just use this bronzer to warm up my face and skip out on the blush. I also love to run this bronzer through the crease of my eye to add a little definition. It also works great as a transition shade for most eye looks.

Have you tried any of these products? What did you think?

Day 10 - Eye Make Up

Yay I made it to double digits, I thought I would quit after a week. I even managed to get all the posts up while I was away. Anyway onto today's post, this post is a follow on from this post.

This is the makeup I apply after my go to face make up when I have a little extra time on my hands.

I fill in my brows with the Rimmel Eyebrow pencil in Hazel.

I lined my upper lash line with NC Defining Waterproof Eye pencil in Mahogany making the line slightly thicker in the outer corner. If I had little time time this is where I would stop but on this particular day I continued and smudged the line a little with the NC Colour Impact Eyeshadow in Forest, I also placed this into the crease in a similar shape to the liner that Lorde wears in her Royals video only less dramatic and defined. I also added NC Colour Impact Eye shadow in Copper to my lower lash line to bring out the blue in my eyes. I finished off my eyes with a few coats of the Rimmel Lash Accelerator Endless mascara, which has a lash growth complex and also micro fibres.

On my cheeks I used NC Pure Touch Blush in Sienna.

And finally on my lips I am wearing NC Hydra Brilliance Lipstick in Flamingo.
