American Horror Story Favourites!

18:44:00 Unknown 1 Comments

As it's Halloween week I wanted to post something along that theme.
So I'm going to be sharing some my favourite moments from American Horror Story!

This obviously isn't going to contain much from season 5 as we are only 4 episodes in.

I personally love American Horror Story and started watching them a good few years ago now. After binge watching the first two seasons on Netflix I was hooked.

My favourite season is either Asylum or Coven. Honestly I loved them both for different reasons.

So into some of my favourite moments (in no order):

Coven: Witch's Council try to blame Fiona & Spaldings denial.


I love this whole scene. It is acted out perfectly by every cast member involved. Fiona remains so cool the whole time. And as for Spalding well his love story is just great. Not many guys would do that for the woman they love!

Freak Show: Twisty's Story


Like I a lot of people I loved the Twisty character, and even more so once we heard his story. It's very enlightening & explains his crazy misunderstood behaviour. Although I do think it's a shame he didn't appear more in the season.

Freak Show: How Elsa lost her legs


Another crazy backstory from Freak Show, actually both are in the same episode (it's quite an episode)! Elsa reveals the horrifying way in which she lost both of her legs. Note: this one isn't for the fault hearted.

Hotel: An introduction to Mr March


Can you tell I love a story? I also love this character! I know we still don't know that much about him but I still think he's brilliant. A crazy charismatic character is Mr March & when I say crazy I mean psycho killer crazy. However I find him a very likeable guy! I can't wait to see what he has in store for us!

What's your favourite AHS moment?

What Vlogging REALLY Means

11:18:00 Unknown 0 Comments

Now I do vlog sometimes for my youtube channel, however I still find it really embarrassing!
So I wanted to point out some things in case you're thinking of starting vlogging.

This post is not to discourage anyone, but more to highlight what it actually involves.


1. People will look at you weird!
Youtube is massive now, however there are still a lot of people that don't really know about the content or care. So people will look at you weird when you vlog in public. Even if you're sat in the comfort of your own car, someone will shoot you a confused/ odd look.
If they don't do this some people try to get in the back of your shot thinking they're 'photobombing' you. Orrrrr they will ask you if you want them to 'take the photo for you'.

2. Explaining it to others can be awkward.
Whether it's because of the previous or if someone just asks you your job/ hobby, unless they're into Youtube they probably won't understand what you do.

3. Editing at 12am.
If you're vlogging the whole day, when in the day will you get time to edit it? Chances are it'll be late at night. So be prepared to lose some sleep!

4. Quiet days don't make good content.
If you vlog a lot (i.e. daily vlog) you'll know that quiet days don't make great content generally & Youtube is very competitive these days, so good content is essential. So maybe skip on the quiet ones & only vlog the more exciting events.

5. People think they know you.
This is the case with any social media, however vlogs are quite personal content. So people will start to think they know everything about you, which isn't necessarily true. The simple answer is, only show people what YOU & those around you are comfort with, don't over share.

Nude Lip Lovin

11:51:00 Unknown 1 Comments

I think this is something you learn as your experience make up, but everyone has their favourite type of 'nude' lip colour.
As for me it has to be a pink/ mauve nude!

Below are some of my favourite lip products in my favourite nude colour.


Left to right:

Rimmel Kate Moss Nude Lipstick in 45.
Rimmel Kate Moss Nude Lipstick in 42.
These lipsticks are great, especially for the drugstore! They are really moisturising & comfortable to wear. The smell is little weird but you get that quite a bit with drugstore lipsticks so I think it can be forgiven as these two colours are just beautiful nudes.

Soap & Glory Sexy Mother Pucker Lip Lacquer in Charm Offensive.
I'm not a big lip lacquer fan but this one by Soap & Glory is actually quite nice as it isn't a matte finish. This makes it really moisturising and pretty long wearing (as it doesn't dry & crack). It also smells amazing, like ice cream.

MAC Lipstick in Twig.
This one is a little more on the brown side compared to the rest however I still love it. I feel like this is a great nude shade by MAC that isn't talked about enough! If you can't get hold of whirl, give this a try. It's a little more pink but that probably makes it look a little less aging.

Fleur De Force Lip Gloss in 020 Written in the Stars.
This is very new to my collection as it has not long been launched but it has already made it into my favourite list! Firstly, it's about time someone did a gloss instead of a lip lacquer (I'm totally over lip lacquers, sorry), as they're soooo much more wearable. This is honestly going to be a handbag staple of mine as it's buildable enough to wear on its own or to layer on top of another lip product.

Benefit Ultra Plush Lip Gloss in Fauxmance.
Again I love a good lipgloss to finish off a lip look & these Benefit ones are perfect. They're so comfortable to wear and smell delicious! They aren't quite as pigmented as the Fleur ones though, so are better to layer over other lip products.

MAC Lip Liner in Dervish.
This is my go to lip liner! It's the base I use for all of my nude lip looks. I love this on it's own & combined with other products. Sometimes I use a lipstick or simply just a gloss like the Benefit Ultra Plush or the Fleur De Force.

What's your favourite type of nude?
If your favourites are similar to mine, let me know some mauve nude must haves of your own!

Halloween is coming!

17:44:00 Unknown 0 Comments

It's that time of year again where the creepy/ scary & gross tutorials hit youtube.
And I have to say.. I love it!

So I thought I'd channel my Halloween character from last year & show you guys how I created this make up.


The classic horror character I'm talking about is Freddy Krueger from Nightmare on Elm Street.
Well the costume is in fact 'Miss Freddy', but I didn't want to just go with a jumper dress & some cute accessories.
What's Halloween without a little horror!

This tutorial is quick special effects free tutorial. Anyone with the most basic of make up kits can do this look!

Keratin Smooth Treatment

10:19:00 Unknown 0 Comments

Sometimes hair can get a little dry & lose some of the natural keratin. So to prevent breakage we need to restore some of this keratin. One way of doing this is a keratin treatment.

You can go to salon professionals for a more intense keratin treatment, however Tresemme have produced an at home equivalent!

The product claims to smooth the hair, reduce frizz & just overall make hair more manageable.
It also claims to last up to four washes, so you don't have to use this product after every wash.


All these claims sound amazing, and make for a great product if it does work.

After testing it myself I can say that it does work! I'm not convinced on the 7 day part, however after using the treatment my hair was super smooth & significantly less frizzy. It didn't help with the detangling my hair much though (my hair is the worst for getting knotty)!

Some advise I would give, is to use a few pumps less than the bottle says to use, unless you have super long hair. Also make sure you are properly blow drying your hair when you use this product. If you half dry your hair it is just sit in your hair, which is not ideal.

Some other good points to this product is it smells amazing & that it doesn't leave your hair feeling greasy or heavy!

Overall if you have extreme frizz I would still recommend a salon, but if you are looking for something to help with a little hair management/ treatment this is definitely worth a go for the price tag.

Fall Make Up

10:22:00 Unknown 0 Comments

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!

Ultra Plush

11:53:00 Unknown 1 Comments

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!

Why You Need A GoPro!

17:59:00 Unknown 0 Comments

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!

Polaroid Perfect Photos

13:31:00 Unknown 0 Comments

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.
