Hello Halloween?

Hey guys! 

SO I don't celebrate Halloween, and can't really say I've ever done anything for it at all (blame my parents for never allowing me to go Trick or Treating lol). However, I did get extremely bored at home yesterday and decided to create a 'Halloween look'. I tried to go a bit overboard with my application so that it would really stand out. But when I took the pics (All in natural light) I soon realised that I didn't go far enough. I might try it again later...if anyone has any suggestions as to how I can make this more extreme, please let me know! :)

List of products used below the pics. 

Face:

MAC Matchmaster foundation in shade 7.5 and Maybelline FIT ME concealer in shade 35. I love this for under my eyes. It's really helps to cover up my bags.

Eyebrows:

 I use Rimmel's Eyebrow Pencil in 'Dark Brown'. It's not that amazing but it does its job. I still much prefer MACs eyebrow pencils.

Eyes:

NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in 'Black Bean' which is a great base when doing dark eyes. It really helps to get a deep colour on the eyelid. From the 'Au Natural' Sleek Eyeshadow Palette I used 'Noir' for my lids and 'Taupe' for the corners. I also used my Benefit 'They're Real' mascara...although I do wish I also had some dramatic fake lashes to use.

Cheeks:

Sleek Contour powder in 'Medium' (my favourite thing in life) and Sleek Blusher in 'Life's a Peach'.

Lips:

MACs Rebel. I'm not a huge fan of this lipstick anymore and hardly ever wear it, so I thought I'd give it some use for the first time in months lol.

Hope you like the look! :) 

Review: Maybelline The Rocket Volum' Express Mascara

Hi guys!

This Maybelline mascara (£7.99) was another item I got as part of the 3 for 2 deal at Boots and this time I'm not a happy bunny at all! So I assumed that a mascara called 'The Rocket Volum' Express' would do what it says on the tin, but it really doesn't. When applying it, it made my lashes darker and separated them...but thats about it. It didn't add an volume or really lengthen them at all. Too be honest, I may as well not have used any mascara at all! If you look at the wand, you can see that the bristles are definitely not long enough to pick up any of the lashes and this made it extremely difficult to do my bottom lashes. Maybe it's my own fault as I should have looked at the picture of the wand more closely...but you live and you learn I guess. All I can say is that next time I will most definitely be sticking to my most trusted Rimmel Volume Flash mascara.

If you've tried this then let me know what you thought :)
