Halloween is Here!

Well, almost.

 

I love Halloween. I don't just see it as one day, to me, October is Halloween month. I've always loved dressing up and not just on Halloween. For me that's one of the best parts. I have a Halloween party coming up soon but I haven't decided what I'm going to be yet. I'll probably just put in some fangs wear dark makeup and say I'm a vampire.

 

Vampires have always fascinated me. I don't know why but I just love all the gothicness and the bad side of vampires. Although I would never be or dress gothic myself unless it's Halloween. I love the vampire character Katherine Peirce from the TV show The Vampire Diaries. I just love how she is a totally sexy, badass woman and the actress Nina Dobrev plays her so well.

So anyway. This is just one of the reasons why I love Halloween. I get to fulfil my fantasy of being a Vampire for one night and it won't be weird!

 

Another reason is all the freaky decorations. Like Christmas, decorating the house and baking decorated cakes and biscuits is so exciting. Unfortunately the rest of my family aren't as enthusiastic about Halloween as I am. If it were my way I would go all out on the decorations and baked goods. I would have a massive Halloween party and watch as many Horror films as I could. Or as many as I could handle before I am traumatized!

 

But instead me and my friends always organise a Halloween party and sleepover at one of our houses. Which does mean I only get one night of dressing up and watching Horrors but I do get to do it with as great lovers of Halloween as myself.

 

This year I want to get more creative on the makeup side of things. I want to try out a few techniques but saying that it probably won't turn out that good! I was thinking if I'm going to be trying out different looks I might as well film it and edit it together to make some sort of Halloween video. I would like to do a baking video but it is slightly difficult with no one handly to help me film and I don't have a lot of free time at the moment so I thought this would be a nice idea

My Little Loves - August Favourites

A few months ago I uploaded a post called My Little Loves. I thought it was time to update that with a monthly favourites since it is now September and I had quite a few favourites last month. 

Beauty

Eye Shadow

I got this palette for my birthday in March and I have been using it since but in August I've practically used it everyday. I love it so much and it's all the colours I normally use, subtle nude shades and also darker shades for a smokey eye. This eye shadow palette is from Revolution and is called Redemption Palette Iconic 3. As it was a present I don't know how much it was at the time but on Superdrug online it is £4. 

Lipstick

I also got this product a while ago but have been loving it this summer. It is a really summery colour; a bright shade of orangey-red with golden glitter so it shimmers in the sun. It really brightens up my face and just perfects my look. It also last quite a long time. This product is from Collection from their lasting colour lipstick range in the shade Passion Fruit. I don't think this is available any more as I haven't seen it in stores but it may be different where live. 

Accessories

Necklaces

I don't normally wear a lot of jewellery but this summer I have been trying to wear it a lot more. I found it easier to throw on a necklace to complete my outfit. I've never been one for bracelets or watches as they annoy me and I sometimes find them uncomfortable on my wrist. So I decided to opt for wearing more necklaces! I'm sorry I don't know where most of these are from as I normally get them as gifts for birthday and Christmas.

These two are Scottish toucans

This choker came as a set from

Topshop as for £5

Backpack 

I have been taking this everywhere with me. I used it so much on holiday when I went out and about (side note: I will be posting holiday pictures soon so make sure to look out for that!) and also back at home just as a casual bag. I absolutely love the design and it is very spacious inside. This bag was from Primark. 

Fashion

This is a recent by but I am IN LOVE already. This was from Primark for £7 but it was on sale, I think its original price was around £12. It's such a summery item and I've been wanting to buy one for ages and I just screamed when I saw it was reduced. Well when I say screamed I mean internally, I didn't want to make a scene in the store! I haven't worn it a lot because it is pretty recent but hopefully we will get some sunny days in September so I can wear it again.

That's all from me today. Hopefully I will be uploaded more YouTube videos soon I'm sorry it's been so long but my laptop is broken so I can't edit it.

All my love
