Autumnal Make-up look & Hair style

 Autumn is here!!! Autumn has to be my favorite season of the year, it is a warm cosy season where you can snuggle up on the sofa with a nice fluffy blanket, drinking hot chocolates with beautiful scented candles all over the place!! Ohh heaven!

I decided to do an Autumnal inspired make-up and hair look, this make-up probably isn't as dark as I would usually go for in Autumn but that is because I wanted to create a look that a lot of people would be comfortable with trying out, and I know that dark eyes and lips are not for everyone! I will be doing another Autumnal look which is a bit darker for those of you who are feeling a bit more daring.

I have also gone with a nice, simple and easy up do for my hairstyle I love plaits in the autumn I think they just suit the season, if that makes any sense at all!

Enjoy!

Make-Up Academy haul

I have mentioned this company once before, and that was in my What's in my make-up bag post, I have bought the highlighter powder and I remember saying that I've never heard of Make-Up Academy but it was really good quality. My friend Charlotte had recently purchased an eye shadow palette and a blush from MUA she said to me how amazing they were and how cheap it was, so I had decided because I do love my highlighter it was probably worth investing in some more products from them, so I went online and just bought a load of stuff to try out, so here it all is for you!

These are the MUA LUXE whipped velvet blush, they cost £3 each which I thought was amazing!! so I decided to buy 4 of them! They are in the shades (from left to right on the swatches) Rococo, Spry, Hedonic and Chichi. They are lovely creme blushes and I'm very excited to try them because I've never used a creme blush before.

This is the Undress your skin Baked bronze, I got this for £3! This is GORGEOUS I love the detailing in this and I can't wait to see what effect it has on the skin! But if my face ends up looking as beautiful as this bronzer I will be happy.

This is the Undress your skin, Illuminating liquid glow in the shade Champagne and this cost £4. I was tempted to buy this because so far I have only used powder highlighters and I think you could get a better effect from a liquid, I could be wrong but now I can find out!

This is the Brow define tinted brow mascara, in the shade fair and it was only £2!! For that reason alone I had to buy it, but honestly I have never used any brow product I always just leave my brows au natural so I thought I would join the craze and see how good I could get my eyebrows looking.

 

This is the Undress me too Eyeshadow palette I got this for £4 which I think is an amazing price for a palette! The reason I bought this was because it was the one that Charlotte had and as I mentioned in my August favourites I am loving gold shimmer shades so this palette is perfect for me and I can't wait to play around and see what looks I can create.

Finally I decided to buy a setting spray, this one is the Pro-base mattify fixing mist and it cost £5. I wanted to get one of these because I have never tried one and I want to see if it actually makes a difference and helps keep my make-up on for longer. I also liked the look of this one because it is a matt spray so it will hopefully help prevent my face from looking oily throughout the day!

There was an offer on at the time, I think it's over now, but because I spent £30 I got three free eyeshadow brushes! They are super soft and quite full so I'm excited to try them out and I'm guessing I will be investing in some more of there make-up brushes because first impressions I love them!!

I hope you have enjoyed this little haul and it has helped you with deciding what to spend your money on next! Also let me know what your favourite make-up brand is so that I can splurge out on some more make-up!!

Big Box of Lame

Ahhh I'm so excited about this!!

I saw this on Owen Frosties blog and I loved the look of it so checked them out online and it just seemed like such a cute idea that I wanted to buy myself a Big Box of Lame! I very excited to see what's inside mine so let's get into it!!

This is the whole content of the box, it is packaged in such a fun way, it comes with a personalized letter for you and its filled with shredded newspaper so you have to rummage through to find your gifts! It just makes it all a bit more fun.

So first of all I found this little cute badge of a soft orange bird! I am in love with this little fellow and I'm still trying to decide where to keep him, let me know in the comments where you think I should put this little birdy!

I then found this little pocket mirror with a lovely quote on it! "You're prettier when you smile" I love this little mirror and I think I will keep it in my make-up bag!

This is a little badge with a tiny baby squirrel, again no idea where I will use it but I will find a home for it!

Then I found these stickers!! I am so happy I got these stickers I really wanted them! They are so funny and just perfect I want to buy another packet just so I can stick them on every note book I own and on my desk and just all over the house!

I also got these stickets and they are the funniest, sweetest things ever!! I don't know which one is my favourite but I love the "Bitch, Peas" one and the "Olive you, Olive you too" but I could sit here and type them all out because I kind of laugh at all of them so just have a read through yourself!

This keyring is great! It basically explains my life because I am always looking for my keys, I don't think you can really read it but underneath the "I found them" it says in brackets "(AGAIN) and that is what makes this perfect for me.

Next I got these little a6 art pieces, I love the Do more of what makes you happy because I try and stick to that moto throughout my life. The think outside the box is a clever concept and pretty motivational! The floral one is just pretty and that little cloud one is beyond cute, they are all upset so they cry!! I will probably put these up on my wall above my computer, just to try and make my room look cute!

Lastly I got this note book, I love the front it just basic but great! I will more than likely use this to do some blog planning because I always have great ideas!

This whole box is very rustic and I love it, it's a brilliant idea the box only cost £11.50 and it's a lot of fun! Plus it is basically a surprise gift for yourself and who doesn't love that!

Make-Up Revolution competition prize

OMG!!!!!!!

Words can not explain my excitement I literally can feel my heart pounding, as soon as I saw the package I was like a kid on Christmas morning, and then I opened the box and couldn't believe what I saw! Let me just quickly explain because for those of you who don't follow my social media you'll have no idea what I am on about, I won a completion from Make-up Revolution and it was a prize bag of a £100 worth of make-up. I know £100 is a lot but I also know that make-up is expensive so I guess I just wasn't prepared to receive sooo many products, it has made me realise that Revolutions products are reasonable priced! Anyway lets get into why you are all here and that is to see what products I had received in my prize box.

ULTRA Professional Eyeshadow - Eyes Like Angels £8

They are all so beautiful right! and seriously cheap, that's 128 colours in all those palettes and for all of them that would cost you £40 and if like me you're a huge Urban Decay fan well that wouldn't even buy you one of their palettes!
