October Favourites | prettylittlewriter

It's November 5th, so I thought it was about time I shared the products I have been loving throughout October!


1. Vera Wang Princess Power Perfume.
This perfume smells absolutely gorgeous. A gift given to me for being a bridesmaid at my Niece's wedding, this scent is very floral and flirty; perfect for those aspiring princesses or just very girly, girls!

2. Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub.
This has been my saviour lately, as the weather has gotten colder and my lips are paying the price. So I scrub my lips using this deliciously sweet stuff and add vaseline over the top. It has really helped get rid of my chapped and broken lips, leaving me with silky smooth ones!

3. Tanya Burr Lipgloss in Picnic in the Park.
I know I am very late when it comes to Tanya's Lipgloss range, however I bought this one and Aurora, and I have fallen slightly in love with this shade. A lovely pink nude, perfect for finishing off any make up look with a dash of sophistication!

4. Benefit Dandelion Brightening Face Powder.
Okay, so I am cheating here a little bit because this face powder is in my favourites every single month as I do not use any other blusher! This has been my go to for well over a year now, and I constantly repurchase it as I run out quite quickly! This blusher is my favourite as I have quite pale skin, and it just gives my cheeks that little pink glow that I need, and doesn't make me look like a clown!

5. Bourjois Delice De Poudre Bronzing Powder.
This has been my favourite bronzer lately as it gives me that healthy glow without making my face look dirty like a lot of bronzers can. Not to mention it is in a cute chocolate bar shape!

6. Maybelline Color Tattoo 24hr in On and On Bronze.
This, by far, has been my favourite eye product lately. Constantly using it, it is a great shade that requires little effort to apply and just gives your everyday make up that little extra pop!

7. Halloween Yankee Candle in Ghostly Treats.
Now, of course, there has to be something relating to Halloween in my October favourites, and this candle definitely had to have the spot! This candle smells very much like Yankee's Fireside Treats; a very sweet and marshmallow type scent!








finally, 
non beauty related is Taylor Swift's new album, 1989.
I absolutely love every single song on this album, and it has been my jam for the last few days of October, if you'd like to see specific favourites of mine, check out this blog post I posted a few days ago!


What are your October favourites? :)

Vampy Make Up Look | prettylittlewriter

For today's blog post I thought I'd show you one of the many make up looks I go for when I go to work!

Because I have to wear all black and it looks so boring, I like to brighten up my look on days when I'm feeling quite happy.


I also hate how I have to have my hair up all the time, so having my make up stand out makes me feel a lot more confident!

For my eye area, I used Benefit's Gimme Brow in Dark, Seventeen's Trio Eyeshadow in Metallic Coffee and Charlotte Tilbury's Full Fat Lashes Mascara.


For my lips I used Maybelline's Color Sensational Lipstick in Pleasure Me Red.




So that is one of the many make up looks I go for when attending work! Hope you enjoyed this post, would love to hear from you in the comments! :)

Current Beauty Staples | prettylittlewriter

For today's blog post I thought I'd show you all the every day make up I currently use!


I definitely wear more than I used to, but it still remains as a completely natural look! It also takes me a lot longer to apply than it used to, I now need around 40 minutes to complete my look, when before it was only 20 minutes! 

Products:

The Seventeen trio eyeshadows gives a natural smoky eye look without being overly dramatic, and the Topshop lipstick in Charmed gives a pop of colour for lovely summer days! 
As you can see my Real Techniques brushes get some serious use and could do with a wash (hehe). 
The Simple Revitalising Eye Roll-On is a great wake me up for my eyes first thing in the morning. I used to sit with cucumber on my eyes for a few minutes, but I found this product and decided to give it a go. It gives pretty much the same results as the cucumber did; my eyes feel much brighter and more awake!
