Winter Boots

You may know that I am a shoe lover and as it's getting colder I have been wearing my boots a lot more to keep my feet lovely and warm. I currently only have 4 pairs of boots as I'm quite fussy and it takes me ages to find some I like.

I think this pair was from Shoe Zone, I've had them for a few years and have worn them loads.

These are the most expensive pair of shoes/boots I own. They were about £200 from Irregular Choice and I love them. They make your feet look so cute and small.

I've had these for years and years, they are so comfy to wear and I love the lace up style. Can't remember where I got them from though and the label inside has actually worn away.

These are the most recent pair of boots I've bought from Very, again with the lace up front. These are super warm as they have fur inside. I love these, you can wear the fur rolled up or rolled down.

So there's my collection of boots.

Have you been getting your boots out for the cold weather?

Makeup: Estee Lauder Green Eyes

I had a lovely surprise from my cat this morning, she had left a dead rat outside the back door, so gross!! She's a really good huntress but it would be nice if she didn't bring them home.

The sun is shining today but it is getting colder and I'm starting to wear warmer clothes and darker colours. Today I thought I'd show you this green make up that I wear a lot which I think is a perfect colour for Autumn.

Here's the face chart I completed for this look. I recently bought these from Prochart so I could design my make up looks using the actual make up products.

Products

Estee Lauder Eyeshadow in Sage - lighter colour on the inner half of the lid and the darker colour on the outer half of the lid

Estee Lauder Eye Pencil in Forest

Maybelline Mega Plush Mascara in Black

Nyx Blusher in Peach

Estee Lauder Lipstick in Crystal Coral

Makeup: Avon Eyeshadow Glow Teal

I haven't done any make up posts for a while so here's one on how I applied the Avon Eyeshadow Quad Glow Teal. Sometimes I only use a couple of the eyeshadows from a quad palette but this time I used all 4.

Avon have recently re-designed the style of their eyeshadow palettes and I quite like how they look now.

This is the first time I've actually used this quad.

I applied shadow 1 (lightest) as a highlighter to the brow bone. Shadow 2 (brown) I applied to my lid from the inner corner to about half way across. Shadow 3 (blue) I applied to my lid aswell but starting from half way across and to the outer corner of the eye. Then I applied shadow 4 (dark blue) to the crease and also lined around my eye a bit. Lastly I applied some black eye liner and mascara.

Here's the finished look.

It took me ages to try to photograph a close up of my eye that looked decent. I think it shows the colours quite well.

Glossybox: October 2013

October has been and gone but I still have my October Glossybox here. The theme for this box was Dark Romance. I was actually a little disappointed when I opened the box as I thought there might be a few make up products in there to go with the dark romance theme. There are some good products but I was expecting more make up.

MeMeMe - Cherub's Blush Cheek & Lip Tint

This is a multipurpose product as it can be used on both the lips and cheeks. It's a lovely pink colour and it blends really well on the cheeks. It's also long lasting so you don't have to re-apply it a lot.

Katy Perry - Killer Queen Fragrance

This new perfume from Katy Perry has a romantic floral scent. I wasn't sure about this when I first smelt it but I'm actually starting to like it now and I may have to buy a full size bottle. As you can see from the photo the bottle has an unusual shape and looks quite royal. I would love to have this displayed on my table.

Monu - Illuminating Primer

This primer enhances your skin complexion and gives it a lovely sheen. I used this under my foundation so it gave me a smooth base to work with and it felt nice on the skin.

Premae - Multi-Vit Smoothie Serum

This serum has a fresh lemon smell and you don't need to use much as it spreads very well. This serum is good for combination skin as it soothes redness and hydrates the skin leaving your skin feeling smooth and quite refreshed.

Vita Liberata - Latte Illuminating Skin Finish

I just applied a bit of this on my hand as I wasn't sure how this would come out. It adds some bronzing to the skin which is a bit dark for me and it has a shimmer to it which is quite nice. This product also has SPF 25 so perfect for using in the sunshine.

I've recently started making a Blog Planner so I can organise my blog posts and plan them out properly. I'll give you a little peek in a future post.

Nails: Fireworks

As yesterday was bonfire night and lots of fireworks were going off (my cat didn't like them at all) I decided to paint some fireworks on my nails this week. I chose 5 different glitter colours as fireworks are quite sparkly.
