HoHoHo

I don't know why I do this to myself in such a fashion rich city, I often find myself trolling back on England's online shopping sites (ASOS, Topshop, Urban Outfitters, Net-A-Porter, H&M, Zara, River Island). I suppose as there's a low market for online shopping here as most of the stores are small boutiques whereas larger companies within the UK have sites to find everything you want in one place.. well here's my Christmas Lust list - be warned there's a load of images so those of you on mobile data plans I don't suggest you read this from your phones (yes, I know you're reading )

Accessories

This festive season, or rather since Halloween infact I've been a major lover for deep red cherry / burgundy nails, possibly accented with a gold tip or so, but here are a few available from my favourite and affordable nail brands Barry M & Rimmel.

Tops

As my winter wardrobe's aren't ever complete without a couple of knits, this year I'm loving the fisherman knit and the sparkle and fluff cropped knits for both the cool sophisticated look as well as a sexy chic look when teamed with a LBD. I've also chucked in a couple of extra's that caught my eye, not necessarily joined to this festive season but lusts nonetheless

Extras

Possible stocking fillers / gifts for either boys or girls all in which I love

happy shopping x

Re-vamping your gel liner

First thing's first I bet you're glad to know that I've not got a memory card for my camera again! So out with the macbook/iPhone photos and back to the clearer 'ish' quality haha! Unfortunately I've landed myself a fulltime job and I'm still adjusting to the time schedules and finding the right time to blog... I'm sneaking this into my lunchbreak as I type :) Aside from all that I digress from the main topic:

Are you tired of your Gel liners drying out and being a pain to apply even when you heat it on the back of your hand? I find this has happened with my MAC fluidline especially... Well there's an old trick with nail polishes when they get dry - to add a little remover in. I've done the same with my gel liner!

Before:

Notice how it's dry looking and rather rough - this has been on the back of my hand for a while and there's no sign of any smoother application. Hoever after I've just TOUCHED - you don't want to soak the brush otherwise the liner will become too light.

After

You can compare the top blog to the lower blob, see how it's alot more smoother and the colour is still just as potent? With this trick a little goes a long way. Additionally I do this per application as I'm not sure what the implications of mixing the while tub will be - be warned! This has made my mornings alot faster and easier. Just sharing!

New Smokey Eye

You all most likely know by now how I'm a huge fan of the smokey eye, most of my makeup looks are one variation or another, well my friends I'm here bringing you yet another variation.

Browns and Purples, surprisingly they mix very well for a gorgeous autumn smokey eye.

Oh Primarni

Usually Primark is my number one place to go to for my stockings as not only are they affordable but, I love you Topshop but I am sorry, the quality is truly comparable. But sometimes there is an odd one in the bunch that lets you down, for me it was when I'm half way around the world and have no means of buying another (well means an excuse to go shopping). Any who this is the beautiful set that I'd just freshly opened for a night out:

Until I pulled them up to find this gaspingly large and getting bigger, hole. I wasn't happy Primarni, I wasn't happy. Well, for the price what more can you ask!

Time to go out and buy more!

HA-LO-WAI Ocean Park Halloween Special

Looking for something exciting to do this October? Well for you thrill seekers out there you ca always go to your local theme park! I'm not too confident to claim all theme parks but I know that back home Thorpe Park does a "freight night" event, whilst over here at both Ocean Park and Disneyland there's Halloween Specials. What happens in these events are that the theme parks are specially opened longer than the usual trading time in which you can have the experience of late night rides, additionally they open up a few more haunted houses.

Welcome to Ha-Lo-Wai!

We dressed up to go that extra mile for our evening out!
( Zombie makeup tips - apply foundation all over to remove any redness or colouration to your face, then get a dark muddy colour darker than your usual contour, and apply it generously your usual contoured areas, do make sure u slightly blend the edges to finish it neatly! Add fake blood etc if you want )

About the special event itself, the costumes were amazinggggg like you can tell they put way more effort in them in comparison to Thorpe Park, I couldn't take photos in the haunted houses but in some parts I was afraid to walk in, as the interior and makeup on the workers made it look and feel like I was walking into a horror movie. Scare factor was rather low, however the screams mainly came from shock, as people jump out at you from random areas of the mazes, but it is something I would defiantly recommend going to do at least once in a lifetime! After a couple it begins to get repetitive however the workers at the attraction made it that bit more entertaining, I heard that Ocean Park workers are more professional on that part whereas Disneyland runs out on steam but I haven't experienced it personally to say so.

Other than that Happy Halloween!

Disclaimer: I wasn't paid to create this blog via Ocean Park or any of their representatives, however if the people of Ocean Park would like to hire me as a zombie, or send some freebies my way I'd be more than happy to receive them (HEHEHE)
