Marc Jacobs - Honey




I absoloutely adore this perfume. My boyfriend got me this for my 21st birthday - and it is by far one of the nicest smelling perfumes I own. It is quite a fruity scent but not in the sickly way - it is also quite sophisticated and I would usually wear this for special occasions only because it is one of a kind in my collection and the only Marc Jacobs perfume I own.
The bottle is also gorgeous - it is the first thing I fell in love with and the reason why I don't intend to go through this like sweets - I want it to last me for a good long while.

The Heart Notes are;
Orange Blossom
Peach Nectar
Apricot
Honeysuckle

The Top Notes are;
Pear
Juicy Mandarin

The Base Notes are;
Honey
Golden Vanilla
Smooth Woods

Autumn/Winter Fashion - Skirts

So recently, as the weather has gotten more Autumnal I have really been loving the whole skirts and tights trend - which to be honest, I was never really into - but this year I have really gotten a thing for skirts so I thought I would show you some of my favourites so far :)




I purchased all of these skirts form Exhibit and I absoloutely love them! The tartan skirt was my most recent purchase - i picked it because I love the tartan style, you can wear it either dressed up or dressed down, depending on the occasion, the material is lovely - it's quite stretchy so it's very comfortable even with the zip up back - I also loved the plu leather band across the waist, I thought it made the skirt look quite edgy. 

The embroidered skirt is by far my favourite. I love the colours I think they're beautiful and very wintery - I'll definately be wearing this around Christmas - but in saying that, I don't think this skirt is secluded to just Christmas - I think it can be pulled off any time of the year. The material is quite thick which I like, the shape is also really flattering as it makes you look more curvy and feminine.

The floral skirt was my first purchase and I love it. The colours are gorgeous - I'm not usually a pink person, but with the whites, greens and oranges I think it gives the skirt some added dimension and doesn;t make it look quite so "girly." I love how it has pockets as well and the added detail of the zip, the shape is also really flattering like the one before and it's just really feminine and lovely.

I do intend to purchase more skirts as they are now one of my favourite clothing items so I will be updating yous on those :)

First Impression - MUA Elysium Palette





I am in love with this palette. I got this from Superdrug which MUA is only exlusive too and it retails for only £6. Bargain!
For it being £6, the pigmentation and quality of the shadows is wonderful, even the lighter shades! I also love the fact that there is a range of matte and shimmer shades - there are 4 mattes and 6 shimmers each of which are very beautiful colours - perfect for Autumn/Winter or even the summer.
You also get a duo eyeliner pencil, one side is black and the other is a really nice natual pink shade, a perfect alternative if you don't want to wear white as it is really noticable. 
All in all, this palette is now my go to for eyeshadows, I highly recommend it :)

Halloween

So I hope yous all had an amazing Halloween, I love Halloween, it and Christmas are my two most favourite times of the year. Granted I didn't do very much for Halloween, on Friday I went down to Newcastle with my boyfriend and watched the biggest fireworks display - it was amazing, I had never been to a fireworks display before so I was a big child and on Saturday we were meant to go out, I was intending to be Pocahontas but the weather was terrible, like I mean it was raining like mad, some places were flooded and everything so after we got dinner we decided to be fat and rent movies and eat munchies :)
But I thought I would share with you the make-up I decided to go for on Friday and some Halloween looks I was playing around with on Saturday.


This was my Friday face - I went for a simple winged eye liner, with quite a strong contour and black lips. My brows are also quite defined as I wanted the look to be strong and angled. The products I used were - Maybelline Fit Me Foundation - shade 120
Seventeen Under Eye Concealer - shade fair
Revlon Photo Ready Concealer - shade light
e.l.f  HD face powder - translucent 
MUA bronzer
L'Oreal Eyebrow Pencil  in the colour dark brown
Revlon Liquid Liner in the colour black
Revlon 3D Photoready mascara in the colour black
misssporty lipstick in the shade black

I only done two Halloween looks, just because my skin is so sensitive and applying that much make-up to my face does not end well lol.

This look was more for those who wanted to be a sexy vampire and the like, unfortuately I didnt have any false eyelashes or this look would have looked so much better

This look was for people who wanted to be something simple and for those who didn't want to spend money on buying a costume.
