Soft Autumn Berries

I was just playing around with some of my makeup (as per usual), and I came up with this! I think it's perfect for Autumn.  It's warm, and uses berry tones without being over the top.  This is definitely a toned down look what with all of this seasons trends.  It's great if you're a bit scared of dark berry lips! I can see me doing this again throughout this season.  Cranberry is one of my all time favourite MAC eyeshadows, it's just such a gorgeous colour!  And it can be used with a darker colour like Sketch or Beauty Marked for a more dramatic eye look - maybe for night time.  And if you've read my post on MAC Woodwinked, you'll know that it's one of my other all time favourites, so I thought I'd combine them!

OOTN & MOTN - Blogger Pub Quiz

Last night I went to the Blogger Pub Quiz in Glasgow, hosted by the lovely Paula.  It was great, and so nice to meet other Scottish Bloggers.  The team I was in won the quiz, so yay!  I got vouchers for the Red Onion restaurant which looks amazing (I've been on their website and had a peek!), so I'm excited to go there and have a nice meal - I just need to find a date...any takers? The only condition is that I'll be there...

Any way on to what I wore!

NYX Blush Haul

When I was getting ready to go on holiday I realised that I didn't really have any individually packaged blushes - because most of the ones I use are from my MAC palette.  So I had looked at some when I was in duty free, but none of the high-end ones really truly caught my eye.  And on my list of things to try were the NYX blushes.  I already own two of their mega-shine lipglosses and a jumbo eye pencil, all of which are amazing quality, and I'd heard really good things about their blushes.  I'm definitely not disappointed with the ones I chose!

The three colours I chose are Terracotta (on the recommendation from Essiebutton's favourite Autumn Blushes), Spice and Taupe.  I plan to use taupe as a contour.  I usually use my Chanel Soleil de Tan or Benefit Hoola bronzer as contour - but I don't really like to use bronzer in Winter, because I think it just looks really unnatural.

How Much is My Face Worth? #Tag

I'll be honest and say I've been purposely putting this off.  I already know that my end figure is going to be disgustingly high (and at this point I haven't calculated it).  Also, everyday, I change up my makeup.  I don't consistently use a specific foundation or concealer, or have an "everyday face".  I just do what I feel like while I'm doing it - not really thinking about the products I'm using too much - other than choosing a base that will work for my skin that day.  So I have tried to be honest, and just do my makeup like I would any other day - without taking into consideration the products I'm using - otherwise I would end up purposely choosing my cheaper/highstreet products, just to get a smaller number.  So anyway - here we go...

What's in my Travel Makeup bag?

I was going to try and take minimal makeup with me on holiday, especially because I plan on buying some in duty free at the airport.  When I photographed it all it looked like a LOT, but then I realised that in the grand scheme of all of my makeup, this is actually only a small amount! I probably wont use it all either, but you never know what you'll feel like wearing.  I've linked any reviews to products I've included - anyway on to what I'm taking!

NYX Mini Haul!

Hi Lovelies!

For ages now I've been dying to get my hands on some NYX products. But as most of you may know, you can't pick them up in any shops in the UK.

So I looked into getting some and thought I'd either have to get some on eBay (with not always reputable sellers) or amazon (where I've had trouble in the past with shoddy sellers - cut to me trying to buy Beauty and The Beast on DVD, and being sent a VHS video...which I already had). They also wouldn't take it back even though they'd false advertised, so I wasn't pleased!

Anyway that was completely off topic, but you get what I'm talking about! I was however very happy to discover that they have a UK based website, and that's where I ordered them from. I bought three things, two of which I'd been dying to try and he third I just liked it at the time!
