Hey guys, on pinterest lately I've been loving baking posts and costume ones as halloween is so near... I hope you enjoy these pins and get some inspiration yourself.

Halloween costumes!

With halloween only 2 weeks away I've been looking at interesting ideas as to what to dress up and in the process I found this post which was "33 Magical disney costumes". I love these because they are not the obvious characters you would normally pick. They also don't have to be just for halloween which is a bonus. My favourite is definitely Emperor Kuzco but I'm also in love with the Queen of hearts costume.

Halloween Make-up!

One pin I have loved is a post by Popsugar. Halloween can be very expensive so going as a skeleton is great if you're on a budget. The only face paint you need is black and white, and if you cant afford a costume, once again you can just wear black and white or even draw on your own bones. I love all the looks on this post as they are all individual and different. There is definately something to suit everyone and a look for all skill levels.

~~What have you been pinning lately? What are your plans for halloween?

I recently went to boots and was a bit naughty :) 

Maybelline had an offer on for 3 for 2 so I couldn't resist! 

Maybelline blusher- flash plum

I've wanted a brown shade of the colour tattoos for a while, as I already have a blue one and it's great, so decided to go for on and on bronze, I also have wanted a new blusher for a while and as it's now autumn I thought this darker shade would be perfect, finally I picked up my first ever baby lips! 

Cherry me

They are hyped about so much so I thought i'd see what the fuss was about, I will probably do a review on this soon. 

Mist you madly

After leaving the makeup aisle I got pulled in by soap and glory and bought their body mist, it smells really nice and lasts so long! It's the first time I've bought it but when it runs out I may buy it again..

Lastly, I bought one of the Vaseline moisturisers (why did I not buy one in summer?!) I am so lazy when it comes to moisturising my body, having to wait for it to dry, and finding one that doesn't feel sticky is difficult, now it's an easy task! I got it in cocoa because I love the smell. 

~~Do you enjoy haul posts? Have you been shopping lately?

Just a quick "FOTD" post for you. :)

I recently rediscovered my Calvin Klein eyeshadow pair, and have been using it quite a bit recently, I made a nice girly pink look with this, the lighter colour makes a nice inner corner highlight and I used the darker in my crease and outer corner :)

*apologises for lack of posts*

I just have to say, I love this eyeliner, it's better than any liquid eyeliner i've ever used. 

Extreme 24hr felt tip liner by collection 2000

It's a felt tip liner which I think is amazing because it allows you to create such precise lines without being messy! (Which I always am with very liquid-y eyeliners) 

I cannot do flicks to save my life but with this I can which is what made me buy it in the first place! 

I've had mine for a long time and it hasn't dried up, plus the nib is still as pointy as when I first bought it. 

This shows how precise you can make the lines, I must say I was being too delicate on my hand and it would normally be more opaque on your eyes, I added one more swipe to show you here:

I also have to mention the staying power. Oh how good it is. I applied this on my eyes very early one morning, had a full day at college, then went to work (where I run around a lot) then when I took it off at 11 that evening it was still intact, no smudges or creasing. 

I would definitely recommend this eyeliner, especially if you're on a budget, it's only £2.99 in superdrug! 

Now to get the other colours..

~ sorry for the lack of posts!! Do you own this eyeliner? What is your favourite eyeliner?

Since I discovered fragrance direct about a month ago, I have become obsessed, the pricing, delivery time etc. if you didn't know, Fragrance direct is a website that sells fragrances and beauty products, very cheaply! They can do this because there's no "middle man" they sell it straight from the manufacturers. 

So on with the haul..

 

This is my first monthly faves - bare with me!

Bit behind with this.. But oh well haha :) (again) I've never done a favourites post before but I thought it would be a nice in depth post to start off with. 

1) Real techniques brushes:

Here are the buffing brush and the contour brush, I love these soo much they are amazing, the buffing brush really works foundation into your skin giving a natural look. The powder brush is equally as good and is a nice little size, I use it to put powder under my eyes, for blusher,contouring and highlighting- so multipurpose !

2) Rimmel wake me up concealer:

 I love this concealer a lot because it doesn't go cakey and it is great under my eyes to brighten them up.

3) Rimmel stay matte powder:

Now everyone obsesses over this powder, and I can see why, it is pretty good, however I don't think it has much staying power as some people say.

4)Sleek contour and highlight in shade light:

I'm in love with this, used it most days since I bought it, I mainly use the highlighter rather than the contour, it's so pretty and shines so nicely in the light and can really make you look glowing.

 

5)Mua palette:

This is my go to palette as it has a range of colours in and they are highly pigmented. I love the shimmery cream colour(top left)  on the inner Corners of my eyes, and lately ive been using it all of the lid with eye liner to create a bright look rather than my usual browns.

6) benefit they're real mascara:

I'm sort of love/hate with this, I love it because it makes my lashes look better than with any other mascara but I hate it because it goes clumpy and flakes all over my eyes sometimes.

7) aviators:

The sun was finally shining for about a week and I wanted some aviators, these were only cheap ones from primark but I wanted a pair quick while I was out in the sunshine :)

8) sanex deodorant:

This a weird thing to talk about but I find so many deodorants smell too perfume-y and this smells nice and actually does the job! I also love it cause it leaves no white marks at all!
