Katniss Everdeen (Catching Fire) Inspired Makeup

Hi all, 

Today i watched the beautiful Jennifer Lawrence (Katniss Everdeen) on tv promoting the latest Hunger Games movie Catching Fire. I'm loving her new cropped hair! They showed a clip of the new movie and i noticed her makeup and felt inspired to have some fun with the color red. What?!! Yup i know this could be a disaster :P haha anyway here's my inspired look.

I don't have the best face for makeup, i prefare putting it on others :) Hope you like anyway x

Recent Purchases ~ Frosted Morning ❄

BarryM Holographic Glitter Nail Paint ~ £2.99
Seventeen Rock Hard Nail Effects ~ 3.99

BarryM Matte Nail Paint, Vanilla ~ 3.99

I woke up to a frost covered morning and thought this would be beautiful to take some photos of my recent purchases. I've been going a bit mad for nail polishes lately and around this time every year i always gravitate towards glitter and matt shades. I picked these three up on Fri & Sat and i love them.

Rimmel London 010 Santa Rose ~ £3.99. This natural colour really suits my pale skin and makes me look awake without looking overdone.

Seventeen Mirror Shine, BELLE ~ £4.79. This shade is the colour of my lips only better. It has a very hydrating formula and feels great on the lips, very sheer coverage but that's why i love it. Again a very natural look.

A pretty frosted flower in our garden.

My first 2013 Christmas candle!!! We went into TKMAXX yesterday and this smells sooo good i can't wait to burn it. Smells like Christmas only it's not over powering like alot of them can be. Saying that i haven't lit it yet, but so far so good. I can't find my receipt but i believe this was around £4.

What have you purchased recently? Leave your blog links below so i can have a nosey :)

Blogging Tip - How To Add A Link To Your Comment

Hi everyone, 

I thought i'd write a quick post on what i learnt a few days ago. I noticed on some comments, bloggers had left a link to their blog that anyone interested could just click and it would direct you straight there. Anytime i had left my link it was never active <----Hopefully that makes sense! 

So i had a wee look around Google and found the reason why. 

Next time your commenting on someone's awesome blog insert this

<a href="URL">Title</a> 

and replace the title with your blog link. 

 Here's mine :)

 <a href="URL">http://sonyaethelmua.blogspot.co.uk/</a>

I've saved my link into wordpad and copy and paste whenever needed.

This makes finding your blog so much easier for everyone. Really hope this is clear and has helped. If you've any blog tips please leave them in the comments i'd love to hear them. I'm always learning :)

Thanks for reading.

October Favorites

 Apologies for my lateness everyone i'm gobsmacked at how fast this month has gone in. Lets start with my brush of the month :)

e.l.f Flawless Concealer Brush  £3.75 ~ I've used this non stop since getting it. Oh my!! I went to the e.l.f website to copy that link an hour ago i'm only back lol 50% off yippie!! 
Back to the brush lol beautiful size really dense yet soft and fluffy i've been using this for concealer, contouring and eyeshadow.

Soap & Glory Show Good Face  £11.00 ~ Thanks to my friend Sam i found out about this beautiful foundation. I have the lightest shade The Fairest Of Them All. It has a very smooth silky texture and gives a satin look to the skin the coverage is light so i've been using it as a primer or on it's own when i'm having a good skin day which has been rare lately :(

Bourjois Happy Light Foundation £11.99 ~ I'm a massive fan of the Bourjois Healthy Mix and when i seen this i knew i had to try it. Basically it's a dewy version of the healthy mix i got no51 and it's a little orange so if your fair beware! I'll be purchasing these for my kit.

Garnier Anti Dark Circles Roll On I purchased mine for £6.99 in Gordons Chemist, i noticed it's £10.49 on the boots website. I got the lightest one Very Fair and i've been really enjoying using it. It brightens up the eye area i roll it on then blend it in with my fingers.

MUA Undress Me Too Palette £4.00 ~ It's taken me so long to get this palette and i'm so glad i did. The colours are just gorgeous and very pigmented. Some of these colours are great dupes for MAC eye shadows. (Brule dupe Naked) (Shroom dupe Shy) (Wood Winked dupe Devotion and Dreamy mixed) (Satin Taupe dupe Obsessed)

e.l.f Studio Eyebrow Kit  £3.75 i have Ash and the colour is just perfect for blonde's and for me this is all i've been using in my brows this month i use the powder for natural looks and if i need a more dramatic eyebrow that i know will last i use the wax then the eyeshadow over it.

Burt's Bees Pomegranate Lip Balm £3.50 ~ I love Burt's Bees they are 100% natural, recycle, environmentally friendly and don't test on animals what more could a person want. I love the smell of this one plus it really does keeps the lips moisturised.

Essie Nail Polish £ 9.85 ~ This lilac colour is called Nice is Nice i noticed it wasn't on the feelunique website but they have very similar colours to this one. I've been wearing this non stop throughout October i've also seen Barry M do a similar colour Link here

Really looking forward to my e.l.f order coming now :D i really can't stop buying things from that company lol i'll give you a nosy when it comes :P

Until next time & look after yourselves xx
