Halloween 2016 🎃

I've wanted to be a Mermaid in General since as long as I can remember, so I thought I would live out my fantasy for Halloween.

This has to be my favourite look I've done to date, both Makeup and Costume. Halloween is my favourite time of year, so I was super excited about this. I've never worked with special effects makeup, so I actually really proud that this worked out so well. Also didn't have anytime before Halloween to practice as I'd been working straight to Saturday and I was in Lanzarote the week before.

For the look of scales I used a pair of fishnets over my head and filled in the colours using Eye shadows, I went for ones with a really good pigment and colour outcome cause I didn't want to be building the colour up for hours so I used mostly Inglot eye shadows. Make sure once you place the Fishnets you don't move them cause then the colours just look like mush. 

Product List 

✖️Purple Eye shadow - Paese Cosmetics in 650 Neo 

✖️Turquoise Eye shadow - Inglot 473

✖️Green Eye shadow - 'Hatter' Through the Looking Glass Palette

✖️I made to hook of the top of a metal hanger 

✖️For the blood I used a mixture of Fake Blood from Euro Giant and Ben Nye Scab Blood.  

I found This Green Mermaid skirt on eBay for like £7 and I had the Red Corset Top that I got from Topshop earlier in the summer.

Hope Everyone had a great Halloween. 

XOXO

Pippa Palette | Review

I've been using my Pippa Palette pretty much everyday, since I got it. It is literately the ULTIMATE Palette in my opinion, The kinda ones that you bring with you travelling or throw in your bag for on the go. It has everything you would possibly need for Day/Night.

The eye-shadows are so pigmented especially the darker shades and the highlighter is like OH MY GOD, you almost want to write a personal thank you letter to Pippa O Connor for even creating something so beautiful . Its my favourite thing about this palette and as you can see , and honest to god I actually use this everyday since around about October , It is far from running out. Nowhere near pan. 

 Here are swatches of  Amour (Bronzer) , Pipsy (Blush) and Lulu (Highlighter) , in that order, With flash in the first photo and without in the second photo.

Here are the eye-shadow swatches as you can see they're lovely neutral shades, the last two ( Dodo and K.D) are more for a nighttime look. My advice would be to be super light handed when using these two, especially K.D.

I love this palette and It would make a great present for any girl especially for Valentines Day ( Start hinting ladies).

You can buy the Pippa Palette from most Pharmacy's across Ireland and Online from Here.

 At €34.99 it is super affordable, so no excuses!!!!

My Hair Update

Hi Guys, bit of a life update here. I've changed my hair again, but this time its gonna be for a long time.

This is as close to my natural colour as I've been in a long long time.

I've had ombre hair for the past 5 years on and off and in between that I was completely blonde, ( Worse Idea Ever), but that didn't suit me so I went back to ombre. I got really sick of the sight of blonde in my hair.

Now Im completely Brunette , and it is Brunette I know it looks Black in photo's. I really like it so lets hope I stay with this for a while. ( Fingers Crossed)

The main reason I dyed it dark other than I think it suits me better is I really want to get extensions, so I think its easier to have one whole colour just to get matched up, does that even make sense?  I think so, It makes sense to me anyway.

Anyways that's all I wanted to say, thats my babbling over.Thanks for reading.

XOXO Sarah.

My Tanning Routine | Cocoa Brown

The only tan I have ever used and actually liked is Cocoa Brown. With having really sensitive skin Im really careful with what I use, especially regarding skincare.

Ever girl no matter who you are or where your from, you feel fab after you've tanned, Don't try to deny it. You know its true. So when ever I get tan as a present or buy it myself, its like a streamer goes of inside me and Im like yay!!

Cocoa Brown is not only a brilliant tan that lasts and lasts but it smells A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!

It smells like a sandy beach and it makes me so happy. Then with the added of bonus of looking great from being tanned.

I usually tan every second week if not every week with 1hr Tan and then every time I feel Im getting a bit pale, I'll lash on a bit of Gentle Bronze just to let my skin breath a bit from the Tan. I also Tantour once a week, but I'll do a separate blog post on that.

The tan and the gradual tanner both fade out flawlessly on me, the only problem area's I have are my neck and the insides of my elbows as they get dry, but that's just me.

 The tan will stay on for a full week with one application so its good for a Pre- holiday glow.

Its also very Inexpensive at on €7.99 in most Pharmacy's and It is available in nearly every Pharmacy that you go into.

Do you have a preferred tan? Tell me about it below.

XOXO Sarah.
