Sadly summertime is well & truly over (shreds a tear)!
So with that come a change in make up style.
I don't tend to stick religiously to trends but I do love a dark vampy lip in the fall!
I also quite like a matte semi-smokey eye look.
I mean why not it is October & Halloween is coming!
The key products for this look are the eye shadow palette & lipstick mainly.
The palette I'm using is the Urban Decay Naked Basics 2, using the darker colour to the right hand side of the palette.
The lipstick that I'm loving is MAC's Rebel. It's just the perfect dark berry colour!

I personally am the sort of person who loves a glossy lip, even in fall.
These are some of my favourites glosses & they are Benefit's Ultra Plush Lip Glosses.
Firstly can we take a moment for this packaging. Benefit always gets a 10/10 on packaging for me!
This carnival style packaging is super cute.
The glosses come in a variety of very complimentary colours, airing more on the nude/ neutral side of lip colours. Which I personally really like in a range!
I think the most important thing to mention about the formulation is that they are NOT sticky, in any way, shape or form! Which makes them so comfortable to wear, to the point where you forget you're even wearing a gloss.
They aren't overly pigmented just like a lot of glosses, but I love to layer these over other lip products to create a really glossy lip look.
You can see the colour pay off in the swatch image below.
These two shades are fauxmance (top) & A-Lister (bottom). Which I got in last years Benefit advent calendar and I have to say I get SO much wear out of these two shades.
Overall these are a great gloss & I would highly recommend them!

Calling all videographers/ vloggers you need a Go Pro in your life!
Now they aren't anything new, but they certainly are special.
Go Pro really did get it right. They are a such a versatile camera you'll be amazed the minute you pick one up. From the live feed app to the waterproof housing these cameras are 'Go anywhere, Do anything'.
If you're looking to create awesome promotional videos or just travel vlogs for fun this is the perfect bit of kit!
Although they & the accessories aren't cheap they all have their uses depending what use you plan to get out of this camera. They have some awesome kits for such things like scuba diving. I would love to take this diving!
The possibilities really are endless with these things.
You an easily use them for more simple things like driving time lapses for vlogging or cool dog, chest or head cam. There are so many accessories you can use to make your content & productions that bit more creative & stylish.
Honestly I think it's an essential piece of kit for anyone interested in video. They now also have some more bargain friend models, so definitely check them out!

As a photographer I have always loved the classic polaroid photo, however with the release of the Fujifilm Instax Polaroid Cameras there has been a new wave of love for this stylishly vintage images.
So for those of you that are confused (although I doubt that's many) polaroids are an old-fashioned way of taking photos. Polaroid cameras differed from other cameras though, as they instantly print the photo from the camera!
The image takes a few minutes to develop & voila! You have your printed photo in your hand!
As with a lot of vintage things, these polaroid images are currently having a revival! So of course the camera manufacturers are going to jump on this, Fujifilm to be exact!
They offer a variety of different polaroid cameras in their 'Instax' range, varying in size & colour.
So I had to get one to try for myself!
So onto my thoughts.
I like the design although it is very different to the classic polaroid camera. The choice of colours is a really fun element too, and opens them up to the public more (so not just a photographer's camera).
The one I picked up was the Black Instax Mini.
You can opt to buy them primarily with or without the cartridges, but it makes the most sense to buy them with really.
The Instax Mini retails for £64.00 & the original £60, so these are ridiculously affordable for a camera!
(Tip: Christmas is coming, these make a great gift!)
So onto the photos it takes. Now if you do take a lot of photos don't ever expect the same quality or colour from a polaroid than your DSLR or iPhone! But once you're used to the camera you can get better images out of it by utilising the settings better. To explain a little more the camera has different light settings, which it should automatically choose depending on the light source. However you can also choose it yourself, which I prefer to do.
Overall I think they're a great gift idea & a bit of creative fun, however for the professional they're definitely not going to make it into the essential kit list.
