HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Ears - Fancy dress store, Neck tie - Primark, Top - River Island, Trousers - H&M

Bit of a quiet halloween this year compared to previous standards. My halloweens are usually less about the spook factor & more about the crazy nights out! I'm meant to be getting ready for a night out in Cardiff as I type but feeling a little under the weather & have decided not to go): Wish I was feeling up to it but don't want to get all dressed up & spend a fortune to not enjoy myself. Have to make up for it by having twice as many nights out next year!

I did go to a fancy dress gig at a local pub on Saturday which was a really good night. The band were amazing! A local band who covered songs by a wide range of bands along the lines of The Stereophonics, Beach Boys, Feeder, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, etc. I am a serious lover of live music & a secret rocker at heart! I used my simple idea & dressed as a cat which was super easy and I spent a grand total of £5 which I'm more than happy with! Yet again I didn't take hardly any photo's let alone any decent ones so only the one phone standard pic' to share with you guys! Must take more photo's! Hope you guys have had a fun halloween!

MAKE UP: KATE MOSS LIPSTICK

Rimmel Kate Lasting Finish Lipstick Shade 12

I'm usually a nude lippy girl but after seeing this in Superdrug the other day I couldn't resist the temptation. I bought this gorgeous shade which is a coral red. I have bought red lipsticks in the past but have never really been impressed as the colour seems to look too dark against my skin. With the coral tint, this colour is perfect! 

The packaging is sleek, matt black & has Kate's signature on the lid. It feels quite moisturising & creamy and not at all drying on my lips. For the £5.49 price tag the colour is quite pigmented & contains "exclusive black diamond pigment complex" which claims to "reflex light like never before". It has a slight fruity taste but nothing too over powering. 

As my lips are quite dry I prepped them a few days before by exfoliating them with my Lush Lip Scrub & layering on the Vaseline. Nothing worse than dry, cracked lips! Before applying the lipstick I used a Rimmel Exaggerate Lip Liner to outline & emphasise the shape of my lips. Then finally applied! Definitely will be rouging up my lips this weekend again, I think I have been converted!

HALLOWEEN FANCY DRESS

I manage to leave my Halloween costume until last minute every year resulting in something thrown together on the night! I don't see the appeal of buying a costume costing £30+ when you can make something half decent yourself with a couple of quid! My two idea's this year for my two planned nights out are pretty simple & unoriginal but will do...

001. The Devil - Pretty simple & easy! The horns & pitchfork can be picked up in any fancy dress stores or maybe even supermarkets for £3-£5 a set. I bought this dress from eBay for just £6.99, total bargain! Worn together with a bit of red lipstick, big hair & killer heels would complete the sexy devil look! 

002. Witches Cat - Again another female costume stereotype but we are on a deadline & budget here! I dressed as a cat/leopard last year for my staff night out, I may wear this again or I could go for the version above which would also work out pretty cost effective! A pair of high-waisted leather look leggings, which can be bought dirt cheap at stores such as H&M, paired with a black top & some feline accessories, done!
