Getting the Most From A Powder When You've Hit Pan

There are numerous terrible things about hitting pan on your favorite powder beauty products... the three worst are:

1) Knowing that your product is running out and that you're going to have to spend money on a replacement
2) Wondering whether you will even be able to find the same item in store because beauty companies just love discontinuing desirable items for some reason
3) Not being able to access the product as you used to with a normal powder brush

These were my thoughts exactly when I spotted the silver circle beginning to grow in the bottom of my pink Coralista box blush by benefit. Rather than crying and throwing all of my toys out of the pram though, I decided to make the most of my remaining product by turning it into a loose powder (which usually has better colour pay-off than baked powders in my opinion anyway) and re-potting it into a little container which I actually managed to get free from benefit once with a foundation sample in it. Here's how I did it...

*Step 1: I took the boxed powder and a blusher brush*

Halloween Makeup Ideas...

Hello Beauties :)

So I'm sure it hasn't escaped your notice, but for just in case it has, Halloween is just around the corner and that only means one thing... Costumes! My favourite part about dressing myself up in some creepy attire has always been adding the finishing touches with my makeup. Luckily, this weekend just gone has seen the Hippy Horror festival hitting my local music scene with a bang (and yes, this is a shameless plug of how successful the event went, most likely because my dad organized it...) so I've managed to get loads of good ideas for how to make my face look scarier than usual this year. I thought I'd share some of my favourite makeup looks of the weekend, for both guys and girls.

*This was my bludgeoned-to-death-dead-school-girl look*

*My boyfriend looked like he'd been in a fire or something what with all his liquid-latex-created burns!*

*If all else fails, just splash blood on your face like the girl on the right, photo courtesy of Will's Photoimaging*

*Pumpkin heads, photo courtesy of Jo Flynn's facebook photos :)*

So that is just a few of my favourite looks for halloween so far. I'm sure I'll be able to track down some more photos at some point soon, but in the meantime that's all the ideas you're getting!

What are you doing for halloween? What's the most creative creepy make-up look you've seen? Got any cool techniques for how to use liquid latex without having it rip your skin off when you're removing it? My boyfriend nearly cried when I was helping him with his! 

Love and snuggles

Haute Future Beauty Tutorial Everyday Make-up Look...


Thought I'd do a relatively simple makeup look for you guys today as I'm heading out to do some pretty standard daily tasks and I had enough time to film this morning so there you go! I've recently been wearing this look as it's quick and easy to do whilst also looking KIND OF natural. At first I felt a bit weird not wearing eyeliner but I think it gives a much fresher effect and means I don't get melted black prints on my upper lids due to the uncharacteristically hot weather we've been enjoying in the UK recently.

What makeup look do you have at this time of year? Do you think contouring is a bit too done for the hot weather? Is it bizarre to you that I shade in my eyebrows?

Haute Future - Fall Haul Video...


So guess what... I've been SHOPPING!!! Haha. Honestly most of these Fall items were purchased in the United States over the summer, but some of the bits have been bought since I've been home! The stores include Forever 21, Delia's, Urban Decay, MAC, Icing by Claire's Accessories, Carmex and Boots.

I would describe my look this seasons as collegiate chic what with the blazers and the A-line short-ish skirts. I would probably say that I've gone with a 1940's look for my make-up what with the deep wine colored lipstick and neutral eye shades, I might incorporate a flick with my eyeliner to give a more 'Pin Up' effect... Hmmm, so many options :)

Anyways, as usual all of the clothing items and beauty products were purchased them with my own money and I have not been encouraged by any company to do this tutorial... And yet I'm super excited about trying them all out and would say that most of the things were purchased from stores or brands that I have used for a while and trust with the quality of their products... hopefully they won't disappoint this time!

I've been a Naughty Little Blogger...

Hi guys... I feel as if I'm walking to the headmaster's office to receive a stern telling off for making the boys cry in the playground or something (which did actually happen once... I kicked Patrick Shaw in the goolies because he wouldn't leave me alone... moving on!)

I am so sorry I haven't blogged over the past couple of days! I went caravaning (can that be used as a verb?) in Wales with my grandparents this weekend, and as it is based in the butt-crack of nowhere, there was *insert dramatic music* NO INTERNET!!! I know, it was a traumatic experience, yet here I stand before you today, I stood in the face of adversity and came out the other side in one piece... "Thank you, thank you!"

So I got back from Wales on Sunday night, but was sick with some sort of pre-migraine type symptoms. Luckily they never developed into an ACTUAL migraine but still, feeling sick and dizzy with a kind of bruised feeling in your head is never good, so I went to bed super early.

Yesterday was Monday which I spent the entirety of getting ready for Marie Claire's latest in the Inspire and Mentor series; How to Get into Beauty with Estee Lauder. I did film a couple of videos for you along the way, such as my much-awaited (by all 20 of my readers...) Fall Haul video which I'm hoping to post up later today, and also a How I Do My Eyebrows Tutorial, which was kind of unplanned so I'm hoping to upload that later on in October, unless someone is having an eyebrow disaster right now and desperately needs the video... let me know in the comments box below!

Today I'm working for my parents at their milkshake bar The Hippy Hippy Shake from 1 until 5, then I assume I'll come home to have some dinner, get editing and posting that Haul Video, then I think I'll write a review of last night... I really had a fantastic time with Marie Claire, this is the third of this type of event I've been to, and each one has been really interesting so I urge all my readers to look out for future events of this kind at www.marieclaire.co.uk.

Now, I'm going to go take a shower and get myself ready for work, once again I apologize for my recent absence but promise that all the material I promised you on the 1st of September will be going up very soon :)

What are you up to today? Let me know!

Love

Beauty Tutorial: The New Season Look


Hope you enjoy this tutorial for my interpretation of Topshop's Smoke and Mirrors look! This is the look which I find to be the most wearable New Season Look what with it making the most of the tans we got over the summer (dust it up a bit more with some extra bronzer for the 70's tan that's so popular right now), creating a shimmer-matte mixture eye which looks so sophisticated, plus that low maintenance pinky-hue nude lip... what's not to love? Vamp it up for extra glam with false lashes and quadruple coatings of thickening mascara, and don't forget the lash curlers! Bar the bronzer (matte is best for the tan-effect), think dewy for the rest of the complexion... mixing metallic liquid bronzer in with your foundation makes for a great base, painting it on with a foundation brush and adding champagne-colored highlighter wherever the light hits will keep your look bang on trend!

Obviously there are variations you may want to make on this look... a golden eye could be nice, as could a more neutral lip for daytime, or if you really want to amp up the bronze then dust a few coatings of a bronzer with shimmer reflects over the top of the entire look... might do that for a night out myself!

As usual, all of the products were purchased them with my own money and I have not been encouraged by any company to do this tutorial... Nonetheless, I love the effects and totally and completely 100% recommend the products. This is what they were all called and how much they cost:

Benefit Foundation Brush -- The exact one I use is no longer available. However, benefit offer a new two-tone synthetic brush which I have heard great things about... this can be purchased for £19.50 at www.benefitcosmetics.co.uk
L'Oreal Paris New True Match in Sun Beige W6 - £9.99 at www.boots.com
MAC Lustre Drops in Bronze Hero -- UNAVAILABE  Sorry... the worst part is that I am really struggling to find a dupe for this product... perhaps the Multiple Bronzer by NARS in Rapa Nui at £29 on www.narscosmetics.co.uk
Benefit Hoola Bronzer - £23.00 at www.boots.com
Victoria's Secret Beauty Rush Cheek Tint in I Pink I Can -- UNAVAILABLE but No7's Blush Tint Cream Blush at £10 in 15 Blossom is a good dupe with a more velvety consistency!
MAC Lustre Drops in Pink Rebel - £17.00 at www.maccostmetics.co.uk
MAC Mega Metal Shadow in Peek-at-You -- UNAVAILABLE it seems like this has been discontinued  However, there are tons of colours which actually work better... try Crystal Avalanche which is £11.50 at www.maccosmetics.co.uk
MAC Eye Shadow in Shroom - £11.50 at www.maccosmetics.co.uk
MAC Eye Shadow in Outre - £11.50 at www.maccosmetics.co.uk
MAC Eye Shadow in Woodwinked - £11.50 at www.maccosmetics.co.uk
MAC Eye Shadow in Romp - £11.50 at www.maccosmetics.co.uk
Victoria's Secret Metallic Eyes -- UNAVAILABLE :) Sad times... I only used the champagne colour from this palette though and I think that the aforementioned Crystal Avalanche by MAC can double up here!
Sally Hansen Sexy Curls Precision Eyelash Curlers - $7.99 at www.walgreens.com
Revlon Grow Luscious by Fabulash Mascara - £9.99 at www.boots.com
Benefit Brow Zings in Medium - £22.50 at www.boots.com
EcoTools Brush Collection - £15.31

Let me know what products you might be substituting in, or if you have a preferred New Season Look which you would prefer for me to do a video tutorial on... but remember I'm already going to be covering the New Spin on a Smokey Eye later on this month, so be sure to check back for that!

Letter From the Editor: Welcome!

*My Moral For The Month...*



Dear Readers,

Finally having arrived back from what was shockingly quite a testing summer working in Walt Disney World, I am now as eager as ever to maintain my blog. My summer was incredible, really, it was.

My days off were some of the best in my life so far, and yet, Working for the Mouse taught me that when I do eventually choose my official career path, I can't just slog through five days a week just because my two days off are good fun. It has to be something which I'm passionate and excited about, something that gets me up and out of bed at the crack of dawn with a smile from ear to ear. While I was going about some menial task like using my 'Disney Point' (a two-finger point as it's apparently more polite) to direct the thousandth guest over to the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular which was clearly sign-posted for all to see, or explaining to a guest that, "Yes, the three o'clock parade is in fact at three o'clock" I remembered the words of Liz Earle and many a wise person before her... 'If you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life.' I wondered to myself if I had ever worked such a job and immediately my work experience at Conde Nast Traveller leapt to mind.

My next few days were spent pining over how much I adored completing even the dullest tasks when working at the magazine; organizing the travel library, handing out the post or scouring the newspapers for the latest in travel news. I started to imagine where I want next for my work experience, or where I wanted to go to study my masters in magazine journalism and how I can work towards that. Of course, the first thing I thought of was by working on my blog. A platform which I can use daily to get my written word out there is invaluable to me and almost as soon as I thought it, I actually wished to myself that I was home, blogging on an almost daily basis.

So that's what I did. I came home. I came home early and terminated my Disney International College Program, changed my flight and three days later I was back on English soil.

With a new academic year comes a new look for my blog. I want this to be almost like an online magazine, a 'blogazine' if you will. Almost daily I will post various stories from fashion pieces, to beauty tutorial videos to relationship features and all that's in between. I have even posted my schedule for the month of September, just like a 'Contents' page so you know what is coming...
But enough of that, hopefully you'll all get used to the new look and can see just how much work I'm going to be putting into this blog from now on, so please tell your friends, get involved, rate, comment, like, follow and subscribe if you can; it would be a great help! :)


The moral of this 'Letter From the Editor' is that life is too short to waste it doing something you don't want to do. Don't get trapped by the financial stability, or the pride of the people around you, or even the ease of the tasks required of you. If you do then you run the risk of spending five sevenths of your life being painfully unhappy and I wouldn't wish that on anyone. Don't be afraid to be a quitter if it's really not what you want, and don't be afraid to shoot for something you think is totally out of your comfort zone. Follow your dreams, reach for the stars. You'll thank me one day :P

Love
