Celebrity Halloween Costumes

I thought I would do a halloween blog just in time for the day! You may have already figured out your costume but if not, let's see if any of these celebrity costumes are an inspiration!

Kim Kardashian as Little Red Riding Hood (I did this costume a few years back!)
Katy Perry as Freddy Mercury
Lauren Conrad as a Flapper Girl
Holly Madison as Briar Rose or "Princess Aurora" from Sleeping Beauty
Beyonce as Spiderman
Gwen Stefani as Jesse from Toy Story 2

This next section is dedicated to the masters of Halloween, Heidi Klum and Seal! They throw a big Halloween bash every year and have the craziest costumes ever!

I hope everyone has a fun and safe Halloween, whether it's alcohol or candy that you will be celebrating with!

Great Beauty Buy

I've been really trying to expand my make-up collection and try different brands. I've always saw the Too Faced make-up at Sephora and thought the packaging and feel of the brand was a little young so I didn't gravitate towards it but I recently bought this amazing palette. It was $40 dollars, and came 9 neutral eye-shadows! Everything you need if your only starting out. There's 5 different palettes that all contain 9 colours of eye-shadow, 3 cards which explain how to use the different eye-shadows to create different looks and it's all very compact so you can throw it in your purse. The 5 different palettes come with colours to help you achieve different looks. ex. natural eye, smoky eye. I thought I'd share this great find with you! I now own three of them and I use them everyday! If you picked up a neutral one for daytime and the smoky one for night time I think you would be set for eye-shadow!

If your not sure how to use these eye shadows, the palettes come with the amazing little cards that show you how and where to put the eye shadows to create a look!

Dressing up in the cold

Now that cold weather is approaching it is hard to decide what to wear on a night out without compromising style. Here are a few tips and tricks to use so that you are keeping warm and that also make you look really chic and trendy.

#1: My first tip is to pair all your favourite going out dresses and skirts with tights! The examples I have below are just plain black tights. But if you can make it work, you can use patterned and coloured tights as well. If your not looking to really change your usual clubbing, going out look than most of your dresses will look perfect with a plain black opaque tight! This look looks really well styled too!

#2: My next tip is to replace your usual clubbing shoes for booties! I prefer black, just because with the black tights it makes your legs appear never-ending and long! Booties have the warmth of a regular boot, they should have grip in-case you come across snow or ice and most importantly they still have a heel!

#3: Invest in a pretty coat! Nothing is worse than standing in those long lines outside the club in the middle of winter! Instead of wearing your regular winter coat, find something that is classy and pretty to go with all your going out looks. That way you look dressed for the season, you haven't taken away from your style and your warm! There is coat check people!

No matter what time of year it is, keep classy ladies! It's not about what everyone thinks, it's all about feeling good about yourself... for me personally, my day is better when I feel I look good.

Holiday Gift Giving Guide for Make-up lovers!

If you do not know what to ask for this Christmas, let me as your fellow make-up lover give you some great ideas! As most of you probably know, the Holiday season is soon approaching. Once Halloween is over this weekend, every store and brand will be introducing there holiday collections. You may not have known, but this is also the time when all the best make-up brands come out with there holiday stuff! Below I featured some of the collections I am most excited about! Not only would these be great gifts to receive, they would be great gifts to give to!

I am always excited to see what MAC has come up with every Holiday Season. This year the collection is called Glitter and Ice! The packaging is beautiful! And by the look of things, there is going to be some must have products too! (aka those baked eye shadows you see at the bottom!!!)

One of my absolute favourite make-up brands is Nars! They make some beautiful stuff! And there holiday collection this year is to die for! They went in a different direction than all of the other collections and went for very dark colours. I love it! Deep plums, navy, and browns come together to make this gorgeous collection! I wont be missing this one.

Chanel Holiday 2011 Collection! The collection is inspired by all things red and gold! Perfect for the holiday season! This may be something you want to purchase before Christmas so you can wear it to all your holiday events!
One of my favourite things at this time is the Sephora Favourites! They come out with packaged deals of make-up minis so you can try a bunch of the best products that they have out! Below I featured the Lash Stash, which is a huge collection of the best mascaras sold at Sephora! What a great gift idea. They also have best-sellers package, lip product package, mini perfumes package and so many other cool gifts!
