New post every Sunday

Hey guys, I know I am not meant to be posting today but as it is Halloween I thought I would share with you a very last minute make-up tutorial for a cat using things you probably already have. Hope you enjoy ...
 
The first thing you will need is 3 shades of grey I use three but you might not want to use 3. I am using a really old Claire's palette but it is really good for Halloween as it has most colours. Anyway, take the lightest shade of grey and blend I across your whole lid. Then get the middle grey and put it on the outer half of your eye then blend it in to create a smoky(ish) eye. Finally get the darkest shade of grey and just blend it into the crease. I also filled my eyebrows in black but you don't have to. To finish of the eyes add a lot of mascara to make your eyes look a bit like a dolls.
 
For the whiskers I used a black eyeshadow as I couldn't find an eyeliner but if you have an eyeliner it would probably look better. I put on three whiskers and did a cute little triangle on my nose.
 
For the lips, I didn't have a black lipstick so I used MAC plumful which is a dark berry colour however if you have a black lipstick you can use that.
 
 
Hope you enjoyed this bonus post and thanks so much for your continuous support.
Love Lou

Hey everyone, first off I would like to thank you all so much for 600 pageviews - it means the world to me. Anyway, today II am going to be sharing with you the make-up I have been doing throughout autumn so far. Hope you enjoy. xxxxxx
 
The first thing I do is moisturize my face using the Boots Simply sensitive hydrating moisturizer this is really good all year round and in the day or at night. It is also a really affordable moisturizer but you can only buy it at boots.
 
On to eyes. The first thing I use is the Smashbox photo finish hydrating under eye primer. I got this in the All For Eyes set so it is only a mini size but you don't need much. The next thing I use is also from the All for Eyes set and it is the photo op eyeshadow trio in the shade screenshot. First I use the shade Nectar which is the lightest shade and blend across my whole lid. I then take cinnamon toast to darken it up a bit and but it on the outer half of my lid and blend towards the inner of my eye. Then I use the Smashbox Full exposure mascara which is also from the set. This mascara is great for everyday and going out at night.


Then finally on my lips I use the MAC lustre lipstick in the shade Plumful. As you can probably guess it is a dark plum colour perfect for autumn/winter.
 
 
Hope you enjoyed this post.
Love Lou

Hey guys, yesterday I was doing a bit of shopping at Bicester and popped into the cosmetics company store which sells brands like MAC etc at discounted prices because they have been discontinued or has new packaging. I was looking at the Smashbox area and saw they had a try-me-size All for Eyes set for only £8.75 so today I will be sharing with you my first impressions. Hope you enjoy.
 
In the set there is a photo finish hydrating under eye primer, photo op eye shadow trio in screen shot and a full exposure mascara. This morning when I got ready I used all of the products and they were really good. The first thing I used was the under eye primer. I was expecting this to be quite heavy when a squirted a little out of the tube but when I put it on it was really light and creamy. It blended in really well and I didn't use a brush. When it's on you can't really tell it's there as I was expecting it to look quite obvious.
 
 
The next thing I used was the eyeshadow trio. First I used the lightest shade called Nectar and applied it all over my lid. This gave a sort of pinky brown colour to my lid so then I used the next lightest shade called Cinnamon Toast and put it across the whole of my lid which then created a brown/coppery shade which is really nice. To make it more of a smoky eye you can add Roast into the crease. The two shadows I used were really highly pigmented and blended really easily.
 
 
Then to finish of the look I used the full exposure mascara. The wand on this is amazing and coats your lashes evenly and makes your lashes look really fluttery but also quite natural.
 
 
I am definitely glad I bought this as it will be great for travelling as well as everyday use. I hoped you enjoyed this post and let me know if you want me to more like this.

Hey everyone, since it is nearly Halloween and I love baking I thought I would share with you some Halloween recipes that I have found on www.bbcgoodfood.com . Hope you enjoy. xxxxx
 
The first recipe is a malloween ghost. Essentially theses are just cake covered in marshmallow in the shape of ghosts but I think they would look really nice and cute at a Halloween party.

I also really like the look of the Eerie eyeball pops. To do these you can make some cakepops, cover them in white candy melts then draw the details of an eye.

Also on the good food website is saw the chocolate spider cookies (which are pretty self explanatory).

The next thing I saw on the website after getting very excited was the toffee popcorn bark - which is really easy to make. Basically you melt white and milk chocolate and then pour it into a tin swirl the 2 colours together then sprinkle toffee popcorn on the top.

The last thing I saw was the red velvet finger cake which would look amazing at a big Halloween party or just if your having a night in with your friends.

Hey guys, I am really sorry about not posting a normal post but I haven't been feeling that great so I decided not to write  a rushed post. Also I am going to be decreasing my upload days. Now I will only be uploading on a Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. I hope this is alright and I will talk to you again soon.

Hey everyone, today I am going to be doing a bit of a different post because it isn't to do with beauty. Anyway today I went to Cadbury World and I picked up a few bits so I thought I would share with you what I got. Hope you enjoy. xxxxxxxxxxx

The first thing I picked up was not chocolate and it was a freddo teddy bear highways only £2.99 but was so cute that I couldn't not buy it.

As I was wandering around the shop and I noticed that there was on offer of 120g bars ( 3 for £2.70 ) so I picked up 3 , dairy milk Oreo , dairy milk Daimler and dairy milk bubbly.

Also they had the Christmas range in so I picked up a dairy milk winter edition which was £1. Basically it is milk and white chocolate in the shape of Christmas trees. Also from the Christmas range I picked up stone dairy milk snow bites and these were 99p for a 90g bag but you could also get a bauble filled with smaller bags for £3 something.

The last chocolate items I bought were 2 marvellous creations bars - Rocky Mallow Road and Jelly Popping Candy. These were 55p each of 10 for £4.

The last item I bought was a 190g bag of Jelly Babies which were only 95p and I love jelly babies so I had to get them.

Thank you so much and I hoped you enjoyed this different type of blog post

Hey everyone, as you probably know I am a big lover of eyeshadow so I thought that I would share with you my favourite drugstore eyeshadows. Hope you enjoy. xxxxx
 
 
Maybelline 24hr Colour Tattoos
 
I have 2 of these in the shades Creamy Beige (96) and On and On Bronze (35). These (like they say) last all day without creasing or losing colour. I sometimes use these a base but they are also just as good on their own for just a wash of colour.
 
 
Tanya Burr Hollywood palette
 
This palette is probably one of the best eye shadow palettes around. They are really pigmented and last all day. I do recommend using a primer to stop creasing.
 
 
Kiko eyeshadow stick.
 
This shadow stick was the first one I ever tried but I was really surprised when I put it on. It went on really easily and blended really well. The pigment also lasts all day without fading.

 
Natural Collection solo
 
I only have one of these but I definitely want to buy some more. These eyeshadows are really cheap but are also really good quality. I use the shade Lilac Shimmer in the inner corners as it just highlights it really well.
 
Thank do much for reading
Love Lou
