THINGS I LOVE TO USE PINTEREST FOR

Hello everyone! So when it comes down to looking for inspiration for anything, what are the two things we always do? Google or search on Pinterest for help of course! Personally i am a Pinterest kind of girl, where i search for help or inspiration with anything. With that in mind i thought i would switch things up for today's post and by switching things up, i mean to share the things i love to use Pinterest for...


1. quick dinner recipes
I wonder if these three words are some of the most typed words in the Pinterest search bar? I ask this as it is probably one of mine! Pinterest is great for being about to type a brief sentence then it allows you narrow down your search (such as: healthy, vegetarian, cheesy, pasta, rice dishes etc). 

2. new/fun dessert recipes
Homemade desserts are just perfection and when it comes to looking for new or fun dessert ideas, Pinterest is the place to look yet again. If you have a specific ingredient or theme you want to go with, you can simply type those things into the search bar (such as: pumpkin cake) and all of the recipes will be there for you to scroll through.

3. seasonal home decor
If you are looking for a cheap/simple way to switch up your home decor for each season, you can simply search the site for different themed decor inspiration and narrow the search down to what colour scheme you want.

4. storage ideas
When it comes to having good or organised storage, there are so many other ways to have good storage and keep things looking organised than just having a boring plastic storage box. Pinterest has so many different ideas for different uses for different things to store your everyday items in, from empty candle holders, labelled jars, custom baskets and more.

5. nail art inspiration
Time to delve into the world of beauty that Pinterest has to offer and one thing that i constantly search for is, nail art/nail colour inspiration. By doing this it not only allows you to have different nails each manicure, rather than opting for the same thing each time and there are also so many easy step-by-step easy nail art designs.


6. beauty hacks
We all love a good beauty hack, don't we? I know i do and Pinterest is definitely one of the best places to search for help and fast. Beauty hacks range from makeup ideas, easy hairstyles, overnight beauty remedies and homemade/diy face masks.

7. coffee or dressing table styling ideas
One of the most simple ways to switch up something in your home is to change up the decor on your coffee table or dressing table. The site has so many different ideas on how to stage your table area for pretty much every single room, by using different candles, flowers etc and what items go together.

8. what to style with a specific item of clothing
Fashion is something we all want a little help with from time to time, not just because we might want to switch things up but also because you might want to search for a new trend. Something i turn to help from Pinterest for is ideas on what to style with a certain piece of clothing, for example what to wear with light-wash jeans and what to or how to style ankle boots.

9. iPhone/desktop wallpapers
Everyone likes to switch up their phone/desktop wallpaper from time to time, me included and Pinterest is definitely the best place to search for a new one. There are so many different wallpapers, with so many different themes, whether that be seasonal, by colour scheme or even by quotes. 
  
10. travel inspiration
Finally i love scrolling through the site to look for travel inspiration, from reading posts on what is best to do in what country, what restaurants to visit and of course what to avoid. Another reason for searching for travel inspiration is seeing all of the beautiful photography taken in so many different countries, cities and towns.

CURRENT WISHLIST: NEW-IN PALETTES

Hello everyone! It has been a few months now since i last shared all of the new-in makeup/beauty products that i am currently lusting after, so i thought it was about time i gave you all an update (but one with a twist). It has been so long since a new-in palette really caught my eye and recently it seems as if everyone is launching new palettes, that are getting my attention and of course i couldn't not share...


First up is this gorgeous warm neutrals palette by Huda Beauty, which to me screams the perfect travel eyeshadow palette as it is filled with so many different shades to create so many different looks with. The palette has the perfect mixture of matte and duo-chrome shimmers, all vibrant in colour and for a higher end palette, i think £25 is actually not a bad price point for the amount of shadows/the quality of the shadows you are getting.

I love a good Too Faced eyeshadow palette and i have so many in my makeup collection already, but the brand always seems to get my attention when releasing a new palette (especially during the holiday season). The new gingerbread spice palette is yet another palette filled with my kind of shades, as well as a couple of wild cards thrown in there. I literally can not wait to get my hands on this palette, as if it is anything like their other palettes it is going to have a beautiful scent to it and gingerbread is up there as one of my favourites.

One thing that i love about NYX as a brand, is the fact that the texture of their powders are always simply beautiful and like no other. That being said there is no wonder i am drawn to this highlighter duo, firstly because i love and hoard highlighters and second of all because the texture of highlighters are highly pigmented yet silky soft/smooth. You can pick these limited edition highlighter palettes up in three different shades, but my personal favourite is the shade grind.

Oh my, oh my, Urban Decay have done it again by bringing out yet another stunning naked palette, this time filled with warm cherry/purple tones. This isn't a palette i would reach for on an everyday basis unlike i do with the naked heat palette, that being said i still love reaching for these shades from time to time. Even though these particular palettes are in a specific colour scheme like post palettes, you can still create a wide variety of looks.

Revolution and the Revolution Pro range are definitely one of my favourite affordable brands, mainly because of their high end quality but low end prices. When i spotted this collaboration palette in the new-in section i was drawn to how the over-all product looked, from its super travel friendly packaging to its shade ranges/tones. Revolution have a bunch of super affordable eyeshadow palettes which i highly recommend, including an all new eyeshadow palette as part of the same collaboration.  

I have tried a handful of products from L.A Girl in the past and a few of them i still reach for time and time again, especially their HD/PRO foundation and concealer. I recently spotted this in the new-in section on BeautyBay and it left me thinking, surely this product is going to be as good as the foundation/concealer. The great thing about this highlight/contour duo is not only the fantastic price, at just £6 but also the fact that it is available in seven shades and can also be picked up in cream form as well as powder.

WHAT TO WATCH ON TV THIS AUTUMN | PART TWO

Hello everyone! Autumn is that time of year which is that perfect weather outside to simply stay inside during the evenings or a lazy Sunday and just cosy up watching some good TV. Autumn/Winter always seems to be the time when all of the good new/existing TV shows come out, which couldn't be better timing really. With that in mind for today's post i am back with part two of "what to watch on tv this autumn" and i am so excited to share with you some existing/new upcoming shows...


1. station 19 - sky witness | catch up here |
So in part one i mentioned how once September rolls around so does the new season of Grey's Anatomy, which so far has been as amazing as it always is. Now that also means Station 19 is back with another season, which i am so excited because season one ended on a cliffhanger moment. Station 19 is a "spin-off" from the creators of Grey's Anatomy but all about the fire station Station 19 in Seattle and there has been a couple of cross-over episodes now between the two shows. This show has you feeling equally as hooked as when you are watching Grey's Anatomy and has you feeling all of those similar type of feels. 

2. line of duty - bbc/netflix | catch up here |
Next up is a show that i have finally started watching myself and i am so late to the party, but i am pretty sure i am not on my own there. If you watched the Bodyguard (which i featured in part one) and loved it, then Line of Duty is for you as it by the same writer. Line of Duty is a police drama, starting when DC Steve Arnott is transferred to a police anti-corruption unit after he refuses to be part of a cover-up involving an accidental shooting. Line of Duty currently has 4 seasons, with season 5 returning early 2019, so there is definitely plenty of time to get caught up this Autumn. 

3. the little drummer girl - bbc/amc | watch the trailer here |
If you was a huge fan of The Night Manager tv series, then you are probably going to want to be watching the new up-coming six part series also by the same production company and another adaptation from the genius spy novelist John le Carré. What makes me equally as excited for this show, as not only does the trailer make the show look as good if not better than the Night Manager is the fact that The Little Drummer Girl stars Alexander Skarsgård, who is by far one of my favourite actors and i mean isn't he lovely to look at also?

4. dark heart - itv drama | watch the trailer here |
Next is another up-coming show this time to ITV this month and is from the writers of the ever so talked about Unforgotten, which is another detective drama. Dark Heart follows DI Will Wagstaffe who is haunted by the murder of his parents when he was 16 years old. This series is an adaptation from novelist Adam Creed who has written a series of books featuring the main character Will Wagstaffe. This show will also be a six part series.

5. informer - bbc | watch the trailer here |
Next up is yet another six-part bbc drama set to fill that Bodyguard shaped hole in your evening, this time in the form of the counter-terrorism spy thriller Informer. This show is set to show you the messy/boundary-crossing relationship between an informant and police handler, that is set to have you hooked this Autumn as it follows the theme of trust, deception and ever-present danger. This series has a premiere date coming Tuesday 16th October on BBC one at 9pm! 

6. a discovery of witches - sky one | catch up here |
Finally is a new show to Sky that so far has a handful of episodes that has aired called A Discovery of Witches, which is definitely a series for those who love diving into the world of something a little more supernatural. The show is based around a historian Diana who finds herself in a world of Vampires, Daemons, Witches and forbidden love and also comes across something that forces her to uncover her own magical heritage.

FIVE OCTOBER FAVOURITES FROM SUPERDRUG UNDER £5

Hello everyone! Can you honestly believe that come Wednesday, October will be over? It has also been a hot minute since i last did any form of "monthly favourites" post, i believe that last one was my end of summer favourites. With that in mind i thought i would do a little spin on a monthly favourites, by sharing with you five of my recent favourite purchases from Superdrug that all retail for under £5. Superdrug is pretty much my go-to to get the everyday essentials from shampoo, to toothpaste, makeup etc and i always tend to order them online as it is free (with a beautycard), the delivery is quick and you don't have to wait in the busy queues.


So i just had to start things off with probably my favourite of the bunch i am going to talk about, because it is a must have product this autumn to have in your shower. First of all how rare is it to see any form of autumnal hair/body product in the UK? This is why i got excited and because it is actually by one of my favourite brands for shampoo, which i have to thank for keeping my hair frizz-free this summer (ultimate blends review). The smell of this shampoo is simply beautiful, with its sweet but not too sweet maple syrup fragrance. This shampoo and conditioner retails for £2.50 half price each currently at Superdrug.

Sticking with the Garnier Ultimate Blends theme and a new hand cream i have been reaching for this month, because with the weather getting cooler i have found my hands getting dry easier and i need to give them some serious hydration. Ironically now me and both of my sisters are loving this hand cream, because of how instant after application this hand cream leaves your hands hydrated and it has a very luxurious feel/scent to it. I picked this up from Superdrug earlier in the month for only £2, but the full retail price is £3.99.

For the longest time i have always stuck to my trusty Anastasia Beverly Hills dipbrow pomade and not really bothered giving anything a try, because i just found that worked for me so well. Until recently that is anyway as started reaching for brow pencils more, i found myself buying a few to put to the test and this one being one of them. This is probably the perfect dupe for the brow definer by Anastasia Beverly Hills, as it is dual ended with one end having a spoolie and the other having that angled shape with the product. Although as i say "dual ended" it took me a while to figure out there was a third part to the pencil, with a thicker tip in the centre and when i discovered it i had one of those "oh that's why it says 3-in-1 brow".


So i have tried nose strips out by this brand before but it was a long time ago and they wasn't the charcoal bamboo ones, i think they was the normal strips. That being said i decided to pick some up from Superdrug a few weeks back, as for some reason my pores were quite blocked and i had a few more black heads appearing and honestly from the first use these were so effective. I know you can get some by Biore but honestly if you are thinking of giving charcoal nose strips a try, just go for these ones as they are so affordable at £3.99 for 6 and the Biore ones are almost £10 for the same amount.

nip+fab makeup matte liquid lipsticks
I have mentioned in so many posts before about my love for the liquid lipstick by Nip+Fab in the shade Tart, as it is one of my favourite go-to and the most perfect pale beige/pink toned nude shades. That being said this was the only shade i owned, so i decided to pick up a couple of other shades and they were such a bargain on offer for around £3 each rather than £7.95 (current offer £5 for beautycard members). The two shades i opted for are Toffee (brown/beige nude) and Biscuit (pink/mauve beige nude), which i think are both perfect for this time of year. The formula of these matte liquid lipsticks are super pigmented, long-wearing and comfortable to wear as they are enriched with shea butter and vitamin e.

HALLOWEEN EYEBALL CUPCAKES

Hello everyone! If you read last Monday's post where i talked about pinterest halloween treats inspiration, then you will know that i was looking for some serious inspiration to create something fun/new to bake this Halloween. With that in mind and after shopping around to find some different Halloween inspired toppings other than sprinkles, i finally came up with this super cool yet creepy eyeball decorated cupcakes.


to make the cupcakes you will need: 
175g caster sugar
175g butter
150g self raising flour
25g coco powder
1tsp baking powder
3 eggs
12 cupcake cases
250g mascarpone cheese
2tbsp icing sugar
1/2tsp vanilla
red icing pen
eyeball jelly sweets


method:
First before you start on the cupcake mixture, you are going to want to pre-heat your oven to 180c/350f/gasmark4 and line the baking tin/s with the 12 cupcake cases. Taking a bowl/mixer, sift in the flour, cocoa powder and baking powder before adding in the butter, sugar and eggs. Mix all of the ingredients together until well combined and a smooth-like consistency. Divide the mixture into your pre-lined cupcake cases (i went with these super cute halloween designed cases from Sainsbury's), filling each case around 2/3 full and bake in the oven for around 20-25 minutes or until springy to touch. Once out of the oven leave to cook completely before decorating with the mascarpone topping and design. To make the mascarpone topping, take the mascarpone, icing sugar and vanilla into a bowl/mixer and mix under well combined/smooth texture. Pipe or spoon on the mixture to the cooled cupcakes, this is going to be the "white part" of the eyeball. Taking your eyeball sweets (i picked mine up from poundland) and placing one in the centre of the topping of each cupcake. Then finally taking your red icing pen and roughly drawing "blood-shot" looking lines around the eyeballs for a spooky effect.

ONE BRAND BASE MAKEUP: RIMMEL

Hello everyone! For the past week or so i have been trying out the new foundation/concealer duo by Rimmel, which is non other than the "lasting finish breathable" collection and of course i will be sharing my thoughts in this post. Whilst on the subject of Rimmel, i have found myself reaching for products from the brand a lot more frequently than i have done in the past. That being said this inspired me to start a new series on my blog, all about one brand base makeup products/looks and of course you guessed it kicking things off with Rimmel.


Kicking things off with priming the skin and if you have been reading my posts for the past few months, then you will know how obsessed i am with this primer/setting duo spray. As this is a spray and not a cream based product, it is super quick, effective and leaves your skin feeling super hydrated, as well as refreshed. As it is a 2-in-1 product you can also use it to finish off your makeup, locking it in place and keep it looking fresh.

So next up is foundation and the brand new release from the brand, which is a more easy wearing/light weight than the original lasting finish formula. First things first i am so in love with this foundation, i love everything about it and i didn't think i would. The stick applicator which allows you to control the amount of product you are applying, the formula is light-weight in consistency/feeling yet is still flawless and has amazing coverage. I like to apply this simply by using the applicator to dot the product around my face, before blending in with a damp beauty blender as always. The only change i need to do is pick up a slightly darker shade for when i am tanned, as the shade sand matches when i have little to no tan on.

Moving onto concealer and to say how much i love the foundation, i am not as in love with the concealer but still i don't hate it. The formula is super light weight and easy to blend/work with because of the sponge tip like applicator. The fault i have with this concealer though is for me personally it isn't as great coverage as i would like unlike the foundation, but if you like a lighter coverage concealer then you will love this.


The next step it so obviously set things in place with powder, as i have normal/dry skin i can get away with only setting into place the areas where i applied concealer to avoid creasing. I have tried a few different pressed powders from Rimmel over the years but this particular one, is a cult classic favourite loved by many. The texture of the powder is super silky/smooth, minimises pores and keeps the shine away. 

Moving on to adding some shape/colour back into the face, starting with a product that i have not been able to put down just like the prime/setting spray and also from the #insta range by Rimmel. This shade medium is perfect for me as it is not too cool/not too warm in colour, is super creamy and easy to apply/blend out, as well as being long lasting. I also love how the highlighted side of the contour stick, has a slight shimmer but nothing too crazy leaving your skin with a healthy looking glow.

Just like when you apply foundation/concealer and you set it into place, you also want to set any cream contour/highlight products into place also. This trio palette from the Kate Moss collection is perfect for doing so, as it has a beautiful/pigmented bronze, highlight and blush shade all in one place. As this is a trio style product it is perfect for travelling, not only to keep the number of products down but also because of how sleek/compact the packaging is. If coral blush isn't for you, these also come in two other shades.

LIQUID GLOW FOR UNDER £7: BARRY M LIQUID CHROME

Hello everyone! It is no secret that i am a self-diagnosed highlighter wearer/hoarder, so whenever there is a new product launching i am down for getting my hands on it asap. With that in mind and seeing as Barry M have launched a new collection of liquid highlighters, i thought why not pick one up and give you my first impressions. I also have the perfect budget friendly powder highlighter, to take that glow to the next level.


When i first started out with makeup, i was super scared to even go anywhere near liquid illuminators/highlighter or cream contour products but i did manage to push past that and now i am just like what was i even worried for. There are so many different liquid highlighters out there that are so easy to work with, which is great for beginners and those who prefer a much more natural looking highlight. So for me Barry M is such a under-rated brand when it comes to makeup, because so many of us just associate the brand with nail polishes and myself included also did this for a while. That being said i gave a fair few of their makeup items a go, i wasn't disappointed with any of them so far and these liquid chrome highlighter drops are no different. Just like many other highlighter drops this product also comes with a pipette applicator, which allows you the ultimate control when it comes to applying the product to the areas you wish. That being said the only negative thing i have to say about the product is the way the pipette works, you have to really squeeze the lid to suck up enough product, maybe that is because the consistency is a lot thicker than some liquid products but once you have done that, it does disperse well so you can't really complain too much.


Moving onto the actual formula of the product, which gives your skin the most beautiful natural looking healthy glow as the texture/finish is more radiant than sparkly/glittery. The product blends out flawlessly, easily and more important evenly which is good because everybody dreads something that blends out patchy. My favourite way to apply/blend is by dotting the product to the highest points of my cheeks, tip of my nose and cupids bow before bouncing the product in with a damp beauty blender. These liquid chrome highlighting drops are available in five different shades, moon potion (blue), at first light (rose gold), precious pearl (pink), beam me up (light gold) and liquid fortune (bronze). Also whilst on the subject of budget glow/highlighting products, i just thought i would mention how amazing these MUA undress your skin highlighters look either worn alone or on top of the liquid chrome to set it into place and i still can't get over the fact these are only £3. So much so i pretty much own every single shade now, apart from the black/blue toned ones (they are a little crazy for me). I have previously done a full review on these highlighters, which you can catch here if you haven't done so already.

EVERYDAY WARM AUTUMNAL EYESHADOWS

Hello everyone! So last week i shared my current everyday go-to base makeup and in that post i mentioned how i had been loving wearing a warm matte brown shade, simply buffed out in the crease as well as on the lid. With that in mind for today's post i thought i would share with you some of my current favourite warm autumnal matte brown shades, that i have been reaching for on an everyday basis.

Ever since i first got my hands on this particular palette, i have been completely obsessed with this one particular shade in the palette which is called "deserted". The shade deserted is the most beautiful/perfect warm caramel/beige shade, that looks amazing either just in the crease as a transition shade or for an all over look. This particular palette is amazing for makeup in a rush, as these shadows blend/apply beautifully and effortlessly. This palette is more on the expensive side at £28 for just five shadows, but for this shade worth it.

So i love love love this palette, but i only ever tend to reach for these two particular shades that happen to be perfect for the warm matte brown eye look, that i am loving recently. These two shades are salted caramel and semi-sweet, the first is the most beautiful medium warm caramel/beige matte shade and then following up with semi-sweet which is slightly deeper but still on the warm side. These particular sized eyeshadow palettes by Too Faced retail for £39, but for the quality/amount of shadows and not to mention how amazing the shadows smell, well worth investing in either this one or the sweet peach one.


freedom #proartist sweet life, freedom #proartist brown sugar, makeup geek frappe
Next up we have a few of my go-to warm shades from my well loved custom palette, which has eyeshadows from MAC, Freedom, Makeup Geek and Morphe. That being said at the moment these three particular ones are my favourite, the Freedom #ProArtist eyeshadows are such amazing value for money as they only retail for £1-2 (£5 for 5 pack) and they are equally as pigmented/easy to blend as high-end eyeshadows. Makeup Geek eyeshadows are also another great affordable eyeshadow brand, the shade frappe has been a favourite of mine for so long now. All three of these shades are super warm and more on the orange/burnt side of brown, which is what makes them perfect for this time of year.

Finally we have two of my favourite shades from the most talked about eyeshadow palette recently, which has also been branded the perfect autumnal palette by so many people (me included). This palette is great for creating both matte and shimmer eye looks, but the shades sauced and low blow are perfect for creating that effortless warm brown eye look. Just like the Too Faced eyeshadow palettes, the Naked palettes are also more on the expensive side at £39.50 and i would definitely say if you haven't ever tried one of the palettes before, this one is a must-try along side the Naked 2 palette.

OCTOBER BEAUTY FAVOURITES

Hey guys, i hope you are all having a great day whatever you are up to! Here we are YET again at the end of another month, this year is just going way too fast. So seeing as it is nearly November i think it's time to talk about my favourite things i have been loving throughout the month of October...


1. Estée Lauder Take It Away make up remover.
My usual go to makeup remover is the camomile cleansing oil from The Body Shop but this month i have been trying out this travel size makeup remover which i received to try and i love everything about it. It removes eye makeup so easily which is always a bonus. I just love to use this and then follow up with my usual facial wash. 

2. Lush Snow Fairy shower gel.
Of course this had to be in my favourites this month as it is hands down my favourite Lush product/scent ever, it is just pure heaven! For those who have never smelt the Snow Fairy scent before it is a very sweet fragrance just like bubblegum/candyfloss. It is a limited edition product and only comes out as one of their Christmas lines, so i always like to pick up the largest size!

3. Makeup Revolution Run Boy Run eye shadow palette.
I have mentioned this eye shadow palette in a few previous blog posts now and it has been a palette that i have pretty much been using every single day since i bought it. It contains 18 eye shadow's with a good mixture of matte and shimmer shades, it is also a very versatile palette where you are able to create so many different looks all from one place. 

4. Milani Brilliant Shine Lip Glosses.
This is another product i have already mentioned in a couple of previous posts. I mentioned that i have been wanting to try out Milani products for the longest time and i finally managed to get my hands on some. These two shades that i have are Mauve Fetish and Black Cherry. Everything about these glosses win for me just as the butter glosses by NYX do, they are long wearing, not too sticky and the colour pay off is amazing. I have already placed another order on Beauty Joint to get my hands on some more shades.

5. Eyelure Naturalites 101 False Eyelashes.
False eyelashes aren't something i tend to wear as often anymore unlike a few years ago where i used to wear them all the time. From day to day i don't think i actually need them as my lashes are naturally quiet spidery looking but for a special occasion or a night out they are always nice. These particular ones are my favourite as they are still natural looking but give you that extra volume.

Random Favourites: 

TV show: I have two different tv shows that i have been loving this month the first is Gotham and the second is Revenge (which is always a favourite of mine). Gotham for those who don't know is a new tv series based on the DC Comics mainly James Gordon but also Batman "the early years" and several other villains from the original Batman series. SO GOOD!

Music: This month i have been obsessed with an artist i have mentioned in previous favourites blog posts, which is Justin Garner. I have been listening to his new album "We Only Have Forever" none stop since it was released earlier in the month.
