Half Skull, Half Face | Halloween Idea

This is what I am going as for halloween, today was just a practise run. I thought I would share it will you because it's a simple look that is really effective! I am also going to take it down my neck so I look like a skeleton. You could also do half your face the other way, so it's half your full face then half a make-up look. (If that makes sence) 

Plus you still get to wear some dramatic eye make-up..




P.s, please excuse my monkey onsie! 

Thankyou for reading and I hope this gives you some inspiration,

Random Drugstore Haul

I don't think it has been too long since I did a haul post, but I thought I would share with you guys what I have picked up recently.


~ L'Oréal True Match, I picked up another one because I was running low & it is my all time favourite! 
~ Barry M Nail Varnish - Cappucino 
~ Rimmel Brow This Way - Clear 
~ L'Oréal Super Liner 
~ L'Oréal Miss Manga Mascara 
~ Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick - 03 
~ Rimmel Apocolips Matte Lip Velvet - 307 Meteoric Matte (my new obsession, it is gorgeous!)
When you spent £10 or more on Rimmel products you got a free Lash Accelerator Endless Mascara, which is amazing! I think it retails at £7.99, You should all take advantage of the fact you get a free full sized mascara! 

I am on the hunt for lengthening mascaras so if anyone has any suggestions please let me know..

I hope you enjoyed this,

Thankyou for reading,

Benefit Instant Comeback Facial Serium | Review

I only have a sample of this, I got it in one of the Christmas sets the Benefit as doing, I have done a review on that so go check that because it is a really good litte kit. If you don't want to buy the full size then I would recommend buying this kit or getting a sample too try it, you will love it!



This is a thin moisturiser so I didn't think I would like it, my skin is very dry especially in Autumn & Winter so I like thicker moisturisers. However, this has made such a difference on my skin! It's become so soft and moisturised. Also, I love the texture of it, it feels nice and silky. It's not oily, or it doesn't feel it, so it would be good for people who have oily skin as well. I apply it morning and night on a clean face, I do apply my Simple Moisturiser as well because I only have a sample size of it, but once I have ran out I will be buying the full sized bottle because I love it! 

This was just a quick review but I think everyone should try this moisturiser. 

Thankyou for reading,

Top 10 Drugstore Favourites

I thought I would share with you some of my affordable favourites, it was hard for me to narrow it down to 10 because I am such a drugstore girl! 


1) L'Oréal True Match - £10.99
I can not do a post like this without including this foundation. I have spoke about this so many times because it is my absolute favourite at the moment; well has been since I bought it. It's flawless, good coverage, easy to blend in, good match to my skin.. There isn't anything to complain about, you have to try it if you haven't already. 

2) MUA Eyeshadow Palette - £4 
I have the one called Undressed, it is exactly the same as the Urban Decay Naked Palette, so if you were wanting that but couldn't afford it I would say get this because it is like the same exact thing. The colours are pigmented and blend really easy.

3) Rimmel Lash Accelerater - £7.99
I have done a seperate review on this so for more detail on it just click here, but it is one of my favourite mascaras!

4) MUA Bronzer - £1 
I could not believe it was only £1, it's very much matte, perfect to contour with, I like to apply it with a stippling brush so it's more natural because if you use a heavy hand it could become muddy as it's quite warm toned & pigmented. It is a good cheap bronzer though!

5) Maybelline Colour Tattoo - £4.99 
These are a really good base for your shadows or you could put them on your lid and leave it like that. They are nice and smooth to apply, easy to blend out, make your shadows last all day and the collection has a good colour range. 

6) E.L.F Eyebrow Kit - £3.95 
I have been using the wax out of this too fill my brows in for ages now, and I love the look it gives. It's a brilliant brow product and if you are looking for something new for your brows I would say for you too try this. 

7) Maybelline Baby Skin - £7.99
I think everyone and their Mam knows about this product, but I thought I would mention it because it is a really good drugstore primer. Makes your foundation last a long time and is very lightweight.

8) Bourjois Rouge Edition Lipstick - £7.99
I only have one of these but it is my favourite red lipstick, very pigmented, creamy and last a long time on your lips!

9) MUA Single Pearl Eyeshadow - £1 
These are amazing, they are like pigments. I have looks coming up using these but they are so pigmented! I am obsessed with how they look, they are incredable! I am honestly so impressed with these. 

10) Maybelline ColourSensational Lipstick - £7.99 
I have also done a seperate post on these so if you want more details about these then I will leave the link right here, they are just really creamy and comfortable to wear but also super pigmented.

Morphe Cosmetics Review

I did a birthday haul recently which included these Morphe products and I said on the post that when I tried to order from that website, everything I wanted was sold out. I wanted to make my own palette but pretty much all of the individual shadows were sold out. Then I went onto the made up palettes that they do, and every one of them I wanted was sold out!

I managed to get one of the made palettes, it was the 35C Multicoloured Matte Colour Palette. It had the Browns, Plumbs, and some other shades I wanted to get in there so I decided to get it. These shadows are absolutely stunning! Crazy pigmented, really buttery and easy too apply, I have nothing bad too say about them at all.


Then I got two brushes; most of them were sold out, I got the M330 brush which is like a tapered blending brush, perfect for the crease, and the M431 brush which is a pencil brush. They are so soft and fluffy!



I am so obsessed with them all! I will be ordering from them again and again and again.. once everything is back in stock.
Also, when I just went onto the website they have started to stock LA Girl, so if you are from the UK and want something from the brand you can get it from the website. (I will leave the link here as well)

I hope this helped you, and make sure you let me know what Morphe products you love..

Thankyou for reading,

Collective/ Birthday Beauty Haul

So, if you don't follow me on Instagram or Twitter then you wouldn't know it's was my birthday recently, too celebrate that it was only right too buy some new make-up! I was good though and didn't buy too much...

I ordered from a few different sites;
The first one was E.L.F, they don't stock it in stores in the UK so I have to order it from the site, but they do have a UK site which makes it easier. 
- Small Stipple Brush
- Concealer Brush 
- Glitter Primer in Sheer 
- Eyebrow Kit in Medium
- Matte Lip Colour in Tea Rose 
Then I ordered from Morphe, I had to get it shipped from abroad because they don't have a UK site. I was disappointed when I tried to order because everything I wanted was sold out, so I only got 3 things: 
- Multicolour Matte Palette 35C
- Blending Crease Brush 
- Precision Pencil Brush 


Then I got the Benefit Fun- Size Flirts Set, which I have done a post on & I will leave that here if you want too see that. 

Then I got some products that I needed to replenish because I had ran out;
- Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water 
- Garnier Moisturiser 
- Simple Hydrating Light Moisturiser 


I didn't actually have time to get anything else, so this is all I bought. I will be doing posts including these products, so make sure you keep an eye out for them.

Thankyou for reading,,

September Favourites

I don't think I have ever done a monthly favourites, but I thought I would do one this month. I don't really have many favourites because when I find something I love then I tend to keep using that instead of trying different things.


My first favourite this month is the Garnier Intensive 7 Day Replenishing Moisturiser, I haven't had this the whole month of September but I still love it! It's so moisturising, it keeps me soft all day, it isn't thick its more runny so I was suprised too see how moisturising it is!
My second favourite is the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water, the reason I love this is because it can be used for so many things, no matter what i run out of; like cleanser, toner or eye make-up remover, then i can use this in its place and it is just as good! I have done a more in depth review on this so if you want to read that i will heave it right here.
Another favourite of mine this month has to be the E.L.F Eyebrow Kit, I couldn't stop using it since I got a new one. If you like to use a wax on your brows and are looking for a cheap alternative then I would definitely recommend this one! I use the shade Medium and its the perfect colour for me.
The next thing I have to mention because I have mentioned it to many times though out September and August, it's the Maybelline Colour Sensational Lipstick in Velvet Beige, you are probably sick of hearing about it, but I really have been addicted to it for such a long time. Is the perfect Mauvey Pink. My last favourite is this MUA Eye Pigment/shadow in the Shade 29 Pearl. I am doing a post on this because it is £1 and absolutely gorgeous!
