I don’t know
about you, but I am really feeling Spring this year. I am loving Spring makeup
looks, Spring fashion, not having to wear a giant coat everytime I leave the
house and of course Spring nails. So I thought I would share with you the nail
varnishes that I am loving this Spring. There are a few pastel colours and a
couple of brighter shades, but they are all perfect for brightening up your digits
after the Winter blues.

Christmas Party MakeUp Guide
As we all
know, one of the best and also most stressful parts of December is the amount
of parties that we need to get ready for. Our nails, tan and makeup needs to be
in tip top condition at all times during the month, which isn’t easy when we
don’t have any money and spend all our free time in Christmas pyjamas eating
mince pies. My birthday is slap bang in the middle of December so I have an
added party that I need to get ready for. So I decided to compilea little
Christmas Party makeup guide to give you a helping hand.

Festival Makeup Tips
My brother and his wife didn’t manage to get Glasto tickets this year,
so instead they decided to host a Glasto BBQ. This is basically a regularBBQ,
but everyone wears typical festival clothes (wellies of course) and there was a
tent and UV face paints in the garden. Now festival makeup has to be light,
sweat resistant and glowey (glitter is optional but definitely recommended).
Try to keep makeup light purely because it will be less noticeable when it
starts to run, smudge or fade, due to excessive wine and of course jumping
around wildly waving your arms in the air like you just don’t care.

Spooky Slap Straight From My MakeUp Bag
I LOVE Halloween! I love getting dressed up and being creative. Love being able to put on some spooky slap, whether it's face paint or some dramatic dark make up, I love it all.
I decided to do some scary Halloween make up using make up that I use everyday instead of using face paint that people would have to go out and buy in order to create this look. So here are some tips to create my 'monster/skeleton/I don't really know what it is' look using make up you already own!
I started by using my Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder in Sandstorm. I normally use this as a cover over my foundation to take the shine out of my face. This time I put it straight onto my face without a base. I then covered with a Next white eyeshadow to lighten my face further (you could use any white eyeshadow). After this I used my no. 7 Stay Perfect Eyeshadow in Thunder but any grey eyeshadow would do. I blended this under my cheeks to give the illusion of a gaunt face, I then blended it on the sides of my nose and down the lines of my upper lip, this was to create the illusion of deep wrinkled features.
I then used my Avon Supershock eyeliner in black to draw on my nose and large circles around my eyes using the top of my eyebrows as a guide.
Once this was done I used my e.l.f studio pigment eyeshadow in Naughty Noire (it's basically a black) to cover over the eyeliner to fill in any gaps and make it look darker.
I then used my e.l.f. complete coverage concealer in light to colour over my lips and then covered it with my Rimmel pressed powder. I then used my Rimmer Exaggerate Liquid Eyeliner in Black to draw a line going through my lips and across the whole of my face, I then drew little lines through them to give the illusion of stitching. I also used this to draw wrinkles on my face and a scar on my forehead and also some eyebrow/forehead lines. I then used my black and grey eyeshadows to blend the lines in and shade them.

Avon Colour Trend Kiss n Go Lipstick
Avon Colour Trend Kiss n Go Lipstick
I
Love Avon! I used to be an Avon representative a couple of years ago when I was
at college, to fund my partying lifestyle along with my part-time job. During
that time I came to realise how much of a good brand Avon is, even though it is
reasonably priced. I have found that high price doesn’t always mean high
quality!
So
I ordered myself 3 Color Trend Kiss n Go lipsticks. They are priced at £3.75,
buy one get two free. So yes – I got three lipsticks for £3.75. I already know
what you are thinking – that they are going to be totally awful and I shouldn’t
have wasted my time, but bare with me guys! The packaging doesn’t look amazing,
with the plain white tube, however it has a transparent band around the tube so
you can see the colour of your lipstick without opening which I did think was
really cool.
Lucky Kiss
Let’s
start with my favourite in colour ‘Lucky Kiss’. I was desperate to find myself
a darker red lipstick for Autumn as I usually stick with bright red or pinks. I
didn’t want to take too much of a risk and go for a purple so I went for this
darker red. The stick itself looks much more purple/brown than dark red but
when it goes on your lip it looks totally different and is really pigmented. It
is a gorgeous colour exactly the warm toned red/purple lipstick I was searching
for. It has a slight shimmer in which makes your lips look extra warm. I am
quite an olive toned brunette, and if you’re the same then I would definitely recommend
this colour. It applied very easy and smells gorgeous. Now as you’d probably
guessed by the price, the lipstick doesn’t stay on very well, it fades quite
easy so make sure you take it with you on the go to touch up whenever needed
The next colour I bought was in colour ‘Amethyst’, this is a much pinkier colour. I picked it because I knew it would be a safe bet, knowing that Lucky Kiss was a bit of a risk and I might have hated it when it arrived. Amethyst isn’t very pigmented, nor does it particularly have a shade. It’s very similar to the colour of my natural lip. I have been wearing the lipstick to work quite a lot, as it’s nice and subtle but has a lot of shimmer in it, kind of gives the look of having a clear lipgloss on without your lips looking wet and sticky. However, like Lucky Kiss, it fades very easily and needs constant reapplying, but also smells great and applied very easily.
Pink Holiday
The
third colour I chose was ‘Pink Holiday’, when it arrived I was very excited
about it, the stick itself looks like a very bright pink. However it isn’t very
pigmented so you have to apply ALOT to make your lips pop like the stick
itself. This colour is a lot less shimmery than the other two colours. It is a
lovely shade, but it isn’t quite as bold as you would think by looking at the
stick. It applies really easily and leaves your lips feeling very soft! However
like the other two colours, it needs touching up ALOT!
Were
they worth the £3.75 for all three? Definitely! I absolutely loved Lucky Kiss,
and have been wearing it a lot even if it does need reapplying. It’s perfect
for Autumn and exactly the colour I’ve been searching for. Amethyst is perfect
for during the day, and has a really shimmery look. And Pink Holiday is a
lovely colour and goes really well with a smokey eye or a bold eye shadow. They
are all easy to apply and smell great, leaving your lips feeling very soft!
