Ghosts & Ghoulies..

HALLOWEEN HAS ARRIVED..
(I understand the actual 31st isn't until next week)
But this weekend the costumes shall be out in force as all the weird & wonderful 
creatures emerge from the night.


Halloween is easily my favourite time of year, it actually beats Christmas for me but shhhhh...Don't let Santa know that one. 
Which is why I've been extra nice to my blog & gave her a little make over, for the time being.  Every year I go to some length to make my own costume & not buy another generic one from the shelves. This year has been no different.
I'll be posting a blog on how I made my costume after this weekend.
I'm heading off to Newcastle for the weekend to live it up as none other than Miss Poison Ivy herself.


My lovely boyfriend is coming along with me as the legend that is BATMAN.
We might even clean up the Geordie streets once & for all. 
This costume I've made has probably had the most effort put into it ( Just think lots of fabric glue & a sewing machine) by a long way but hopefully it shall be worth it,
I'm looking forward to being a villain for the night. MUUU-HAA-HAA-HAAA...

Last year I went as a new take on your regular skeleton..




 I only managed to scare a few innocent members of the public..
I hope everyone has a great Halloween & I look forward to seeing all your costumes.
From the Halloween Mother herself.
Peace out xo

Septober..

Busy. Busy. Busy.
That's only an understatement of how busy I have been over September & the start of this month.
I apologise to my little blog for abandoning you. 
Mama has returned.

A lot has went down over the last month with work & play. 
After waiting almost 21 years to get my own pet my Mother FINALLY caved & I got a 10 week old dwarf rabbit, I named him Louie.
 To say I'm in love with him would be only a smidge of how I actually feel.
He's the cutest little sucker I've ever came across.

Just thought I'd introduce him to y'all..

I've been working away recently with my Para Planning business along with working with the Citizens Theatre in their production of Snow White & Rose Red. It was a really fun, creative project that's going to be made into a Graphic Novel. I'll keep you all posted when I receive the images from the day as I can't wait to see the finished product. Below is my favourite hair style of the day that I created on our actress Flicka. I don't have any make up photos just now as everything has to be kept on the low down.

Time To Shine..
This next little paragraph was supposed to be put up last month but I sadly didn't get around to it.
I was sent by Clarins their Beauty Flash Balm (RRP £28) to review over the month & this is my first chance to get to speak about it.


Before now I had never actually used the product myself,
but now I don't think I could not have it in my kit.
It's the ultimate pick-me-up product, whether your skin is tired, stressed, or you're just in need of a radiant day to day look this balm is fab. This best-selling radiance booster eliminates the signs of tired skin in a flash. The balm instantly moisturises your skin with one application..(For girls who have very dry skin you can apply your regular daily moisturiser first then apply the flash balm over the top) It brightens and tightens facial contours so skin looks rested and relaxed. Ingredients include Olive and Witch Hazel which extract to help smooth the skin’s surface. It's a great product whether you want to prep your skin for perfect make-up application or give your bare face that glow it deserves.

For now I think that is enough,
Halloween is just around the corner, my FAVOURITE time of year.
I hope everyone has a great time & I shall be posting before the 31st on a few Ghoulish looks that you can try at home to give yourself that Halloween edge.
