Messy Shiny Autumn Eyes

I don't really wear makeup in the summer. But as soon as autumn comes around I like to plaster the stuff on. Here is my take on a evening look.

 Eyes and skin prepped with Simple Sun Kissed Moisture Cream, Clinique Tinted Moisturiser and Revlon Colorstay Concealer. My eye brows have a life of their own and my skin is far from perfect. 

 Hope this is an okay 'How-To'! Enjoy. 

1. Line upper and lower last lines with any Shiny eyeshadow stick. I am using Elf Jumbo stick in #3D4

2. Use fingers to press a loose power on to eye lid and crease. Pack it on. I'm using a combination of 2true in No. 3 and a MAC sparkle pot. 

3. Using a random freebie black eye liner that smudges nice and easy along the upper lash line. None of this liquid business. I'm not very good at tidy eye make up. 

4. Continue with the black eye liner on the lower waterline and smudge onto lash line.

5. Use the jumbo stick on the inner corner, up and down.

6. I like to use a travel size mascara for the lower lashes. This is a travel size Clinique High Impact Mascara. Lovely stuff. 

7. Now my favourite bit. Literally cover your lashes in as much mascara as you possibly can. I like over the top spider eye lashes, the clumpier the better. I'm using Rimmle Volume Flash Scandaleyes.

8. Leave one eye to dry and start on the other. 

9. Once they are both dry, apply a few more coats. 

DUNAHHHH!

Let me know what you think of my messy evening eye look.

Factors of Autumn

AUTUMN IS FINALLY HERE! 

I love autumn, or fall depending on your continent. Everything goes into sepia, the jumpers come out, the scarfs embrace you and everything seems cosier then summer. I even like the rain, I LOVE the mud and adore the puddles. 

Here are a few of my essentials when it comes to the third season of the year. 

Alarm clock is not the best one to start with, my bad. This is an essential because i am not a morning person, and i really dislike getting up when its still dark out side. I don't like the light and dark ratios at this time of year. But hey, you can't have everything right?! 

BLANKETS & SLIPPERS! Need i say more?!

Yes to the obvious - gloves & scarfs. This is a pair from Toast, yes they make me look like a hobo, but i can still use instagram, got to weigh up the pros and cons! 

Carmex and lip salves in general life savers. 

Barry M - Navy 292. Topshop - EN POINT. Essie - eternal optimist. Barry M - Raspberry 273.

Keep EVERYTHING moisturised. everything.

Jumpers and anything knitted. This is a & Other Stories Number (Found on the cheap in TK MAXX)

Its time for the pretty flats to come out. I'm all about comfy dancing shoes. These are Carvela.  

Yummy drinks, if your a real blogger it would probably be something exciting from Starbucks. But these are good enough for me. 

And yes, candles. Scents like Silver Sandlewood and anything that smells like old man is right up my street. 

All these lipsticks are Rimmel. They just do it right (& cheap).

Nothing like getting into bed and reading a book. I fancy re-reading some of the gems on my bookshelf this month. 

Maybelline - MOSS FOREVER 620. Max Factor - Prussian Blue. Mmmmmm.

More knits and cashmere. 

Nivea Essential care is the best night long moisture. And a red lip was meant to be worn with a scarf and bobble hat right?! (AVON - Smitten Red)

Hope you've enjoyed my factors of Autumn. 

Enjoy trick or treating & orange trees.
