Simple Halloween costume and makeup ideas

Hello my lovelies. Today I'm posting a Halloween costume idea blog post. Sometimes I am left on the night before Halloween struggling to find a costume by being invited to a last minute party or trick or treating. Maybe you're just stuck for inspiration (if you are I recommend Pinterest). I hope this post will help you find the perfect costume

Simple yet effective cat:

For the the simple cat I would wear a black skater skirt, with a long sleeved top along with tights and boots. For the makeup look, youtube is overflowing with cat makeup tutorials but for something really simple I would go for the cat eye along with a small triangle on the nose. 

I chose:

miss selfridge skater skirt
H&M sleeved top (available in lots of colours, I especially like the teal and burgundy)
TOPSHOP brogue boots
Amazon cat ears and tail

Next a vampire!! I think a vampire can be a pretty simple look and it's quite easy to create. For clothing I would stick with black, personally I would choose a black skater dress, black flat or heels ( depending on what your comfortable with) and some silver jewelry. For the makeup look I would go with a dark smokey eye, nude lip or you could incorporate a dark lip if you're feeling bold. Taking some fake blood you could drip it out of your mouth as if you just had a tasty snack. Plus you could add 2 small dots of blood on your neck to make it look like you've just been bitten. If you would like to have a go at some stage makeup I am very inexperienced with that stuff so definitely check out some youtube vids.
I chose:
asos velvet skater dress
TOPSHOP black ballet flats
You can find silver jewelry anywhere.

I hope these two outfits have given you some inspiration and if you would like to see another post like this before Halloween I would be happy to post one. I know it's been quick but as I've stated before I'm having problems with my blog. See you later!

general update and Q&A

Hey jaz beauties, today I'm posting a general update and Q&A. I haven't really had a little chat with you guys since I started this blog. So today I decide to post this to just tell you all a bit whats going on in my life. I can't believe it's October already, have your say September and posting regularly flopped due to issues with my blog but I believe it's sorted now but sorry if there are any problems with posting  So the second thing is that I am I planning to go to clothes show live this year so expect a huge haul. For those of you who don't know what clothes show live is, it's basically a 45 minute fashion show (a really good one) and then you can shop at all of the stalls like Barry m, models own and quite a few clothing stalls. A lot of the makeup there is discounted and there are some really good deals on lots of products. I do realise I am telling you early because the clothes show takes place in December but  this leads to me telling you that I am starting another spending ban. I am actually planning a shopping trip with cherry beauty so it will happen after that but that shopping trip will give me a chance to grab any essentials and hopefully quench my thirst for new products until December. As it is October now it will be for around 2 months which isn't long and until then I will use up the many products I have sitting in my beauty cabinet.
       Anyway I am also loving instagram at the moment and I am currently at 198 followers which is great for me!!! If you read my blog you will probably like my instagram where you can ask me questions for things like this Q&A. I am jazbeautyx so make sure you check me out!
       I am also questioning whether to start a twitter. I think that a twitter would really help my blog with new readers and again things like these Q&As. Let me know what you think about the idea below.
Question time!
first 2 questions are from the beautiful cherry beauty blog:
5 items on a desert island, what would you choose (anything)?
Good question. I think I would choose a close friend or family member, a motor boat (to get me off the island), communication device, a huge crate of assorted tinned foods as they wouldn't go off and a crate of water bottles. I think I bent the rules slightly but the thing that excites me about being trapped on a desert island (if  that excites anyone) island is being able to make a tree house and a fire (I'm weird).

If you could be any animal what would you be and why?

Well that's difficult I would wanna be so many. First if all a dog because who doesn't love dogs and I would have a wonderful owner yet the idea of licking people is kind of gross to me. Next a humming bird because they are beautiful and get to fly about which is so cool. Last but not least a lion, I'm a Leo so I feel I have an inner connection with them (again I'm weird).

What is your dream destination and why?

My favourite place in the world has to be California. But if you're wondering where I would like to go it would be New York because it looks just amazing. I've only been once and for a day because I was only there for 1 day due to a delayed flight but I still loved it. Also maybe somewhere hot like Thailand and the place is beautiful.
If you had to live on something for the rest of your life what would it be?
Probably french fries. I love salty french fries and chips, their just so delicious!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'VE PUT THIS IN BOLD TO MAKE SURE YOU NOTICE IT!!!!!! hello new followers, not all my posts are like this, their mainly beauty, fashion... Thanks for following and enjoy my blog

thanks for reading

New beauty products I am excited about #1

Hello lovelies! I got the idea for this post on the amazing sunday girl blog. I adore her blog so make sure you go and check it out! There are a few new beauty products being released for autumn/fall and upcoming winter so I thought I would talk about some of the ones I'm most excited about.

The first thing which I'm really excited about is the Lush Christmas collection. Christmas is fast approaching as it is already October! I tend to get pretty excited about Christmas quite a while before it happens and once it's over I'm waiting for summer. I am especially excited about lush's Christmas collection because it looks amazing this year. They've added new things such as a snow fairy sparkle bar much like one of lush's massage bars with a super soft fondant center and lots of sparkles! definitely check out the lush christmas collection.

Also essie's autumn collection looks great. It has a great range of fall colours including a really cool duochrome colour and an amazing navy blue. I am a bit late on the essie bandwagon but I'm on there as I have 5 amazing colours from them (if you would like to see a post on them just ask). I personally think this colour selection is really nice and I can't wait to see what they have for Christmas!

Last but not least I have the riri collection from mac. This collection is available at most mac stores and online but checking the website most of the things seem to be sold out so if your interested I would get your hands on something quickly. If you did not already know this collection was designed by Rihanna. This mac collection really caught my eye purely because of the packaging at first, it's a beautiful rose gold (the colour is addicting) with her signature displayed in the front. Looking closer at the collection the eyeshadows from her cocoa palette look great so maybe an early, early Christmas present? They're quite neutral and it looks as if it would be a great palette to take on your travels.

 I hope you enjoyed this post let me know if you like to see another one soon. Please comment as I love to read them!
