Halloween make up!

Well that was all over a bit too quickly! It seems like Halloween just flew by, but I did get plenty of sweets so I'm happy. 

Today I'm just going to share with you what I did with my make up. I am subscribed to Polly on YouTube and she was doing a week of Halloween make-up/nail tutorials. The one that I absolutely loved was her Zombie style look so I attempted it! It took me no time at all and all you need was a red lipstick and brown+black eye shadow! simple :)



If you want to give this look a go then you can go and watch Polly's video here

All I wore with this was some leggings and a wide-neck top, then just put a coat over the top!:)

What did you go as for Halloween? 
Lots of Love, Lucy x

OOTD

Ooh, two post in one weekend? Steady on Luce! haha.

Today I thought I'd share with you the outfit which I wore today, I only went up town, nothing special! But I really liked how it looked together, so here goessss! :)

Dress: Topshop, Blazer: Primark
So I paired this cute Topshop skater-style dress with the blazer I got from Primark the other week. The blue detailing on the blazer is what made me pair it up with the dress. The dress was only £12 in the sale at Topshop and the blazer is £13 and I believe Primark still sell them. It is such a versatile piece so grab it while you can!


I didn't add any accessories because I wanted it to look like a simple "everyday look" rather than a evening outfit. I put some black tights on which were from Primark because I thought I would be too cold with my legs uncovered.


For shoes I went with my burgundy/maroon converse from Office to add a different colour to the outfit.


For the make-up with this outfit, I went with a very neutral eye with a slight darker outer corner. For my base I used my Match Perfection foundation and Natural Collection pressed powder.

I'd love to get some inspiration for outfits this Autumn so if you have any OOTDs on your blog, please leave them below! :)

Lots of love, Lucy x

GOSH velvet touch foundation primer - review

When you see a sample of a product in store, you immediately go and pick a few up. This is what happened a few weeks back in Superdrug, I picked up 5 samples of the GOSH velvet touch foundation primer. 
I needed a new primer and was so pleased when I saw a sample of this, perfect timing 'eh? But when it came to using it, I wasn't so pleased. As you can see from the picture above, I only used 1/5 samples. You get 2ml of product per sample and this managed to cover my face with some still left over. 
I had high expectations because the full size is £12.99! However I was very disappointed with this product and I am glad I didn't have to spend money on it! 


All of the information about the product is correct. It did "fill in fine lines and deep pores", but felt slimy and greasy also, this put me off before I even found out if it was a good primer or not. I applied the primer with my fingers and put it on the whole of my face, I did notice that it would even fill in the ridges in my fingers, weird! 

Anyway, onto the main question. Did it make my foundation stay on any longer? Well, no. No it didn't. Normally I can go a whole day wearing my foundation and it only comes off in some places (cheeks and nose), but when I used this it seemed to have made my foundation slide off my face and not stay put! So I will definitely not be using this primer again. 

I hope you found this review helpful if you were looking into buying this product, sorry it was so negative but it was my opinion. But what I would like to know is what's your favourite primer? I'd love to give it a try! :-) 

lots of love, Lucy x
