Not really a FOTD

By
but more a face of last night and more because I love how my eyes turned out.  I found my dior make up brushes yesterday & so was able to properly have a stab at decent eye makeup. Stealing a few techniques I learned whilst watching the gorgeous Bex Bryson work her magic at a fashion shoot on sunday. 
So here it goes.

Face:
Benefit Play Sticks Foundation in Spin The Bottle
Benefit Lying Eyes Concealer in Shade 2
Urban Decay Bronzing Powder (obviously not very much lol)
Benefit Thrrrob Blush

Eyes:
17 pale pink all over lid
Barry M Dazzle Dust in Yellow Gold below crease on upper lid and framing lower lid
Barry M Dazzle Dust (possibly Lime I'm not sure as the label has worn) above crease on upper lid.
Avon Super Shock Gel Eye Liner in Black (donated by Bex from Once Bitten Twice Shy)
Urban Decay Skyscraper Eyeliner in Black

Lips:
Barbara Daly Lipstick in Icon

I used Urban Decay All Nighter to set my makeup as well as an accidental spritz of hairspray lol. oh well!
I think I've done this right. As you can see I'm still very basic with my makeup but it can only get better... I hope! 
Bex

ps. speaking of that photoshoot how gorgeous is this makeup?!

Of the ways to describe the most premium of items in your makeup collection "Brand New Mint In Box" should not be one of them. One of my most awful habits is buying makeup and then not using it and to my even greater shame it is usually with my most expensive purchases. There is an Alan Carr joke about the extortionate price of a Spanish Onion, the punchline is "when do you save an Onion for best?" This is kind of how I feel about expensive makeup. It's so pretty and so precious that if I get up the courage to actually purchase it, I'm then usually too scared to use it. The pride and shame of this habit is these two items from Dior.  The absolutely sublime Dior Skin Nude Tan highlighter which I purchased as a pre-release special edition from House Of Fraser TWO YEARS AGO has sat in box all tightly wrapped up only being shown the light to show off to my friends and family. Yes I do show off my prettiest of pretties to my friends and family...

No Halloween Costume Needed

By
It's become an accepted norm that once December 1st comes around the nations will don their snowflake print leggings and their novelty jumpers but so far the other seasons are lacking in their effort. Yes, Halloween is famous as being the single greatest costume day of the year but I need October to step and represent in the seasonal apparel game.  Thankfully retailers have heard my inner goth cry and have come up with some seriously cute Halloween inspired items. For those who love a slogan tee you have every variation of saying that could possibly be made by rhyming witch with bitch and if you don't say every one of with Emma Roberts' attitude then you need to watch season 3 of American Horror Story immediately!   Dressing with the seasons is clearly big money but it doesn't have to cost the world. Here are my choices of how to get into the Halloween spirit all under £30.  Boohoo Starting with my favourites because I can! I actually bought the f
