Mini Mac Collection

Hey guys.
Today I've decided to do a quick blog post on my little Mac collection.

First up I have 3 Mac eyeshadows. Woodwinked is probably my favourite, it's such a lovely and wearable colour. However, I would definitely recommend it to more tanned skin people (unlike myself..oops). I do like Pink Venus however as it's quite a bold colour I don't wear it that often. But, it looks great for a night out or something similar.

Pink Venus, Honey Lust and Woodwinked

Next, we have my all time favourite Mac purchase. The studio fix fluid. This stuff is heavenly! It is more suited to oily skin types and therefore may not work so well on dry skin. It is suited to oilier skin because 1) it is oil free and 2) it helps absorb and disperse oils from your skin. It is quite high coverage and very buildable.

Mine is in the shade NC15. (C will cancel out redness)

Finally and my most recent Mac purchase is my studio fix concealer. I had wanted to get this for quite a while as one of my friends has it and absolutely loves it! At £15, for the quality of this concealer, I would say it's definitely worth the money. It covers every single spot! It is slightly less effective under the eyes, for that I would recommend the pro-longwear concealer (sticking to the Mac theme).

Yankee Candles

Hello again everyone!

Today I am writing a blog post about one of my favourite things, candles! And for all you Yankee junkies out there: this one's for you.

There was never really a day I started buying candles, however I do remember starting to use and buy them a lot more near my year 10 exams as I find them very calming.

Firstly, I have my jar Yankee candle as you've seen many times on my blog! If you don't already know my sister bought this for me for my birthday this year. I have the 'Lake Sunset' candle. It's a very light and soothing smell (I really can't describe scents...) This size of Yankee candle is however very expensive (mine was around £16.99) so I haven't bought myself one yet, fingers crossed I might be lucky enough to receive one for Christmas!

Next, I have a few tarts. These are different to the small sampler candles because you burn them in a tart burner. In my opinion these are better than the sampler candles because their smell seems to fill the room and is stronger.

Pink sands is my favourite of these

This is the tart burner I have been using. It's from Poundland! I'm looking to buy one from Clinton's or anywhere that sells one that is a bit more attractive but, this will do the job for now.

Next, I love using these little sampler candles. You can buy these in all the same scents as the bigger candles but for a much cheaper price. I believe they're around the £1.80 mark however I'm not too sure. These aren't so powerful as the tarts when burnt however they are still lovely, especially on a cold, wintery night in!

As always with Yankee candles the packaging is super cute and the colours on these specific ones are lovely too! I've been burning a lot of these as we go in to the autumn / winter months which explains why I only have more summery scents left!

These little tea light holders are from Ikea.

This is my favorite way to burn tealights / Yankee candles, it's from Ikea.

This blog post was an idea from a lovely follower who's instagram is @bethaniebriggs, big thank you to her!

My Halloween Makeup

So this year I went to two Halloween parties. I went as a cat for one and a vampire for the other. As the cat was a much simpler look, I thought I'd show you guys how I created the vampire look!

I started with my MAC studio fix foundation. Try and use a foundation slightly too pale for your skin if you can. Next I used my MAC studio fix concealer to conceal any blemishes.

I then focused on the eye make up. I began by putting 'blingo' by benefit all over my lid. I then took 'holy smokes' benefit's cream eyeshadow and swept this in to my crease. I used the collection 2000 eyeliner on my upper lash line and a chocolate pencil liner on my bottom water line. For mascara, I used the benefit they're real! mascara. My favourite.

I then lightly bronzed using my bourjois chocolate bronzer.

For the lips I used a YSL red lipstick in the shade Rougue Par Couture 13. I also put this around the edges of my lips to look like blood.

Finally I took benefit's 'raincheck?' eyeshadow and mixing this with the red lipstick created a wound on my face. I wore this make up look with a black lacy top and a leather skirt.

The finished look!

Darkest swatch: holy smokes! Middle silver swatch: blingo! (ignore all other swatches)

I hope you all had a FAB Halloween and I'll hopefully blog for you soon! 

Lots of love,
