Happy Halloween 2015🎃

Hi Guys! 

Happy Halloween! I can't quite believe that it's that time of year all over again but I can honestly say that it is my most favourite time of year ever!

This is more of a chatty post because I really wanted to show you my pumpkins!

Last night my boyfriend and I decided to carve the pumpkins that I had bought earlier in the week now that he is back from uni for the weekend. 

I mean I am super proud of my pumpkin, my boyfriend is an artist so I was expecting mine to be soooo bad in comparison but when you put them together mine looks pretty good too!!

Can you guess who's is who's? 

What are my plans for today? 

Well... I have such a busy day ahead so I decided that I will tell you what I am planning to do and then update you all tomorrow!

So on Monday I am taking part in my works take on Great British Bake Off and I am the first to bake in my team... My theme is fireworks/Guy Fawkes! 

So today I am going to make and decorate the cake ready for Monday and then I am meeting my friends in the evening for dinner at Nandos. 

Then I am going out!!! Obviously it's Halloween!🎃 so I am going to come home and have a lush bath with the below bath bomb or melt or bubble bar I can't remember which it is!

It would be rude not to! Check out my previous post to see all of the festive things I bought from lush!

Then I am going to do my make up and paint my boyfriends face ready for what I hope will be a brilliant night out!! 

Tweet me pictures of your pumpkins or Halloween make up @Emrosee_x I would love to see them!!

See you all tomorrow (if I survive my crazy busy spooky day!!) (I'm sure I will)

Love,

Emily X

What's in my travel make up bag?

Hi Guys,

Second blog post from me in a week!! I must be sick! 

This year I have travelled about a lot and it has taken me forever to get my travel make up bag up to scratch. I am now in London for a long weekend and I finally feel like I've cracked it. 

This Travel Make Up bag is aimed at staycations and weekends away as when  I am abroad my make up bag is very different as I tend not to wear make up. 

Okay so here is my travel make up bag!

You may have already guessed that not everything will fit in this bag and it is not all make up products but I thought I would include all types of skincare too. 

First up! The make up side of things...

First up are my Zoeva make up brushes which I adore!! A blog post review is coming on those so hold tight on that. They come I a. Massive leather secure bag which I have started using as a travel make up bag. My make up bag varies but the key is to keep it small. 

I have two foundations - 

• Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow by Benefit in the shade Honey. (Everyday wear)

• Chanel Perfection Luminere in the shade 32 beige rose. (Special occasions)

Benefit Porefessional is a staple!!! It is also really handy as they do a travel sized one which is a great addition to your travel make up bag. 

Hello Flawless by Benefit pressed setting powder in the shade Honey. For me a powder over my foundation is necessary however depending on your skin this could be something you leave out saving you space! This also comes with a sponge and brush underneath so if you don't have make up brushes that you love this will save you even more space.

Sleek eyebrow palette in 820 Black as it is now a crime to leave the house with rubbish brows! This also comes with two different shaped brushes and some mini tweezers.

MUA LUXE Whipped Velvet Blush in the shade Rococo which is very pink and packaged really compactly which saves space. I love the whipped texture of this blush!

Rimmel London Lasting Finish soft colour blush in the shade 080 bronze. This is tiny but defo not a blush I use it as a bronzer. 

Maybelline New York Great Lash Mascara in the shade Very Black. Only recently started using this but I am loving it.

Then I have bought 4 lipsticks, two lipgloss (yes the pencil one is infact lipgloss!!) and a lip balm. This is my travel downfall I couldn't condense my love of lipsticks down to two which is probably a good number to take away. 

I have three of the Kate Lipsticks in the shades - 

• shade 30

• shade 05

• shade 107

My KIKO one in the shade 814 (I think)

The first Lipgloss is by Maybelline and in the shade 360 stellar berry. 

The most exciting Lipgloss is pencil shaped from KIKO  in the shade 00

I also have a Calvin Klein Ultimate Edge lipgloss pot in the shade plum

And finally the lip balm, which would live in my handbag is just a baby lips hydrate. 

Next is the other half of my travel make up bag which is more skin care related! 

Simple Kind to Skin hydrating light moisturiser. Such a staple!!! I use this all the time absolutely adore this product. 

My perfume which is Chanel Chance Eau Tendre which is just the most beautiful smelling perfume in the world!

Benefit it's Potent Eye Cream. Again love this product and use it everyday.

Garnier Micellar Cleansing water. I'm not going to be able to bring my whole face cleansing toning and mousturing products so this one works perfectly. Just make sure you have also bought some cotton pads along too. 

I have also thrown into my bad is the They're real remover by Benefit, benefit are brilliant for giving samples. When I bought my foundation the woman threw in loads of samples and this one is brilliant to take with you to remove eye make up as I like to use something made for eyes so that it is gentle. 

I also bought along a sample of the Benfit face serum which is more of a nice to have than essential but as its small why not!

That concludes what is in my travel make up bag! I finally feel I've got it right although I still think I could condense it down even more than what it is.. 2 foundations, 6 lip products.. You follow my drift!

Do you have any suggestions of products I should try? What's in your make up bag?

Have a great day!

Accidental Lush Christmas Haul!

Hi Guys!

Okay so today, Saturday 3rd October, I went to Lush in my hometown to pick up a few bits and bobs, some of my must have Lush Products.

I walked in and Oh My God!!! I was so excited to see that they have their Christmas and Halloween range out already!!

I had some birthday money to spend so I decided why not stock myself up for the winter!

I definitely did not mean to spend this much but I got carried away! I have listed what I have bought and how much they cost. Some I have had before so can give you a mini review although most I haven't so any you want a review on let me know!

Sooooo let's begin...

The first items I picked up was of course - Snow Fairy Shower Gel 250g and I also bought the 100g The comforter Shower Cream which I have not had before but the Comforter is my favourite bath crumble so it made sense for me to get the shower gel too.

Snow Fairy 250g was £7.95 and The Comforter 100g was £4.95

The next thing that I picked up was the Butter Bear Bath Bomb which I had last year and it melts in your bath and makes your skin really smooth. This was £1.95.

Next in was Star Dust which I haven't used before and I am really excited to! This was £2.95

Next up is the Candy Cane Mountain Bubble bar which smells a lot like The comforter and Snow Fairy which smell similar. This was £2.95

This is the Magic of Christmas Bubble wand, which is similar to the Magic Wand Bubble Bar but this one smells all Christmassy! (Shock!) This was £5.95

This one isn't a Christmas one but it is one that i have been after for a while... Pink Flamingo Bubble Bar. I really enjoy bubble bars and they are such good value for money. This one cost £5.95.

This is my absolute favourite and as soon as it gets near Christmas i have to have it in my bathroom. The Magic Wand Bubble Bar. It smells like snow fairy and the comforter again but is my favourite.. a bubble bar! This was priced at £5;25

Next up is a Halloween one... Sparkly Pumpkin. This one is definitely going to leave you covered in glitter after your bath!! This was priced at £3.65.

The last couple of things that I bought were facemasks, Remember in my last lush review I said I wanted to branch out more in lush?? Well this is me branching out. I bought both the new ones, Rosy Cheeks which is a pale pink colour and Don't Look At Me which is bright blue. They were £6.95 each.

So that is the end of my Lush Haul, I would really recommend heading into you're local lush and stocking up for this Winter as the stores get so busy in the run up to Christmas. 

I am heading to the Lush on Oxford Street next week so hopefully I wont blow all my wages... wish me luck!

If you want any of these reviewing let me know in the comments, also what's your fav lush product?

Have a great day

Love Emily x
