Day of the Dead

 

So yesterday morning we decided to dress up a bit for the night! I had been working non stop all week on Christmas Windows so hadn't even planned on going out but sometimes they are the best nights! I am obsessed with Mexican Sugar Skulls and have wanted to do the Day of the Dead make-up look for ages. I ran to the pound shop for some white face paint & cheap flowers. I attached the flowers to a hairband to make the head piece and it only cost €4!

 

Hope you like the make-up:)

Illustrated Life

If you haven't yet heard of Fashion Illustrator Holly Shortall, then I don't know what rock you've been hiding under! The talented, self taught artist has been on my radar for some time now with her amazing illustrations constantly catching my eye. But she really shot to fame last month when the one & only Kim Kardashian posted Hollys now famous illustration of "that" Vogue cover to her 14million Instagram followers. Now that's a seal of approval!

 

I am so delighted that I finally have one of her illustrations to call my own, I cant wait to get it printed & framed. Its such a great thing to have for yourself but also an amazing idea to give as a gift! I wish her every success for the future!

Sparkle & Shine

Just a quick post to show you my make-up from last night! The amazingly talented Niamh from Mac did it for me for my leaving drinks with the girls from work. She used the glitter pots from the Mac Devine Night Christmas Collection Sets. I am in love with this set, which contains pigments and glitters, and I cant wait to try it out myself!

Hope everyone is having a nice weekend:)

I love Halloween!!!

There is nothing I love more than researching and deciding what to dress up as, planning and making my costume and doing my hair & make-up! I'm not going to make it out this year as I am too busy with work so I've put together a few of my favourite Halloween make-up looks for you to enjoy!

 

Hope you all have a great Halloween, would love to see what everyone dresses up as:)!
