Halloween Make Up Ideas

Since Halloween is only a few days away I thought I'd do a quick post on some easy to achieve Halloween make up looks. These can be created using face paints or make up products and shouldn't take up too much time. These are perfect for a last minute or quick look. Hope you enjoy!

Soap and Glory Sugar Crush Body Scrub

Hey Everyone!

For today's post I thought I'd review the Soap and Glory Sugar Crush Body Scrub. I'v been using this all summer and I find it SO good. It smells amazing (like lemon and lime) and has tiny micro beads that I find great for exfoliating. It was perfect for when I was on holidays to help prevent peeling and I think it'd be a good pre tan exfoliator too. The tub itself is pretty big. I've used it non stop all summer and I still have over half left. I picked it up for about €11 in boots. I love the scent and consistency and it leaves your skin so smooth and refreshed. It also leaves the bathroom smelling amazing afterwards! A must have in my opinion!

Have you tried this product? What other soap and glory products would you recommend? Let me know!

Autumn Outfits

So seeing as we're stepping into Autumn, I thought I'd do a post with some outfit inspiration for this season. I love this season as it's not too cold but it's cool enough to start adding layers. I recently wore my new grey Uggs which made me extremely excited for these cooler months as I absolutely love my Uggs! Anyway I hope you enjoy these outfits, let me know what you think :)

 

L'Oreal Casting Sunkiss Jelly

I've been leaving my natural hair colour come through as I'm sick of constantly dying my hair and it getting really dry as a result. I haven't coloured my hair in about 9 months (which is absolutely crazy for me!!!!!) and over the summer I got a bit fed up of it. From constantly washing it and the sun naturally lightening it, my hair turned a not so nice brassy/orangey colour which I absolutely hated. I contemplated getting a few highlights thrown in on the ends of my hair as a very subtle balayage look but then decided not to in case it went more orange.

Randomly online one night, I spotted this L'Oreal Sunkiss Jelly and figured I had to try it out. It's basically an amazing scented shampoo like gel that lightens your hair in a natural looking way. It can be applied to both wet and dry hair and doesn't need to be washed out. It is activated by heat so using a hairdryer is what activates the colour faster. This is a gradual hair lightener so you may not see any difference after the first time you use it.

I used the product all over the ends of my hair completely avoiding my roots. I used this maybe 3 or 4 times between June and August and once again last week and I am finally starting to see a difference. I definitely think the sun on holidays helped lighten it even more. It does specify to use it on natural hair and obviously I didn't. It did take a while to notice the colour change but I can definitely see the change now.

I will definitely be buying another tube to lighten the ends of my hair even more and I definitely recommend using it if you want a naturally highlighted looking colour. It smells amazing and costs about €8 in Sam McCauley's which seems to be the cheapest around. I also got the darkest shade in 01.

Have you tired this? Let me know what you thought of it!

Benefit's High Beam

I got this highlighter as part of a Christmas present from Kevin's mom about two years ago and to be honest I never really liked it that much until recently. In the summer months, I really like that bronzed and glowy highlighted look when applying my make up. I found this in my make up bag about 2 months ago and decided to give it a go and I haven't stopped using it since! It is AMAZING! I usually apply my foundation and concealer and then put a little bit of the high beam on the tops of my cheek bones, underneath my eyebrows, a little bit down the centre of my nose and lastly on my cupid's bow. I then let it set (I'd usually go fill in my brows or do my eye make up now) before putting on powder.

The product comes in a nail polish type bottle and applicator. It is very highlighted though so I only use the tiniest amount. You can add the tiniest amount to give a really subtle glow or you can add a bit more if you want a more dramatic look. It does tend to dry quickly so I don't tend to put it all on at once or it just stains my face and looks blotchy. I start off by putting it on one cheek bone and blending it in before moving on to the other areas I want to highlight. Because I only use such a small amount, I can definitely see it lasting for ages. This has definitely been my new summer must have!
