4 Shows to Watch this Halloween

I've talked about TV a great deal lately on here but its because I'm obsessed! Halloween is just around the corner and this whole 'halloween weekend' is the perfect time to watch something scarier than your usual tv program. Warner Bros have a wide selection of films and tv shows that you can choose from that will make this whole weekend spectaular just that little bit more terrifying. 

These are my 4 recommendations to watch this halloween. Let's start with the most well known, The Vampire Diaries. Its a show you can watch all year round but binge watch it at this time of year to get you in mood - its about vampires, what more do you want. The show is a mixture between family affairs, saving the town and a love triangle. It is coming to an end soon as the actors decide to move on from their roles, which is such a shame because its brilliant. 

The Originals is a spin off from the Vampire Diaries and its hard to explain without giving away the entire plot. But Klaus is the original vampire/werewolf hybrid and sets out to protect his family and his home town whilst battling with his several enemies. This show is a lot darker than the TVD and a bit more vampire based than real life but nontheless still an amazing show. I must point out, that you can't watch this without having watched TVD first because it all links together. 

Moving away from the vampires and into the zombie terrority we have iZombie. This show takes some getting used to and a while to get into but worth the wait as it all starts to make sense slowly. Liv is the main charecter who turns into a zombie after attending a party, she can't hide the fact that shes turned so she ends up hiding it as long as possible until something happens to her memories and she starts to help solve murders. This isn't a scary show at all, more comedy! 

Finally, we have Lucifer. Ahh Lucifer the one I'm currently getting through with my flat mates. Its safe to say that you can't just watch one of these and then switch the tv off, you have to carry on watching them. Lucifer is an angel from hell and is on earth as part of his vacation but he's ended up helping the LAPD catching criminals and solving cases. There's also something about Tom Ellis (Lucifer) that is just amazing and makes you want to watch it more, he's sarcastic, beautiful and funny! 

If you'd like to win a Halloween TV Bundle for yourself to enjoy then head on over to my twitter as quick as you can, there's a competition running until midnight on halloween! Enter here. 

Hope you all have an spooktacular halloween....

Winter Skincare Wishlist

Stress, cold weather and litres of coke is not helping my skin at all at the moment. Its my own fault because everything that I am doing/eating is reflecting on my face but slowly it will get there. November starts on Tuesday (how crazy!) and its the perfect time to swap your skincare round and make it more winter friendly. I've become obsessed with skincare recently and this a wish list of all the things that I am lusting over on the 'high end' scale. 

Everyday Makeup for Autumn

I love doing my makeup but the dark, cold mornings are the worst because there's no light to see what you are doing. For all you know, you could end up walking out having put on everything backwards! Some days during the week, I have time to apply everything - choose a lip stick ect. Other days I have 10 minutes, to apply everything and GO! These are the products that have been my current go to and ones that I know will last, look good and give me a natural everyday look. 

BriAA Natural Skincare Review

Skincare was never something that I took seriously and put it to the back of my priorities. However, over the years I have learnt that for your makeup to look good and for you to feel confident within your own skin - the products that you use as part of a routine and vital. These past few months, the products that I have been applying to my face have been ones that I know the ingriedents of and if they don't work - I stop using them. There's been lots of skincare posts these past few weeks and its because I'm enjoying skincare. Today I'm talking about BriAA - a brand that centers themselves around natural skincare. 

Do You Tell People About Your Blog?

A very different style of post from me today, not sure how it will go down but here goes. Let me set the scene for you. Next month I will be celebrating 4 years of blogging!! Not as many as other people out there but for me the longest I've actually stuck to something. When I started all those years ago, I was in year 11 stressing about GCSE's now I'm in my 2nd Year at uni stressing about my degree. Oh how life has changed. 

Autumn TV Picks

Apart from the crisp leaves, warm drinks and cosy jumpers one thing about this time of year is the TV that's on. Its gone from having nothing to watch to everything coming back and its crazy. I watch a lot of TV for a girl my age and it goes from crime dramas to the girliest of programs, the scale is all over the place. I've mentioned some of my favourite shows before but now there's even more. 

Getting Ready For Black Friday

This year Black Friday falls on Friday 26th November, in the US its a much bigger thing than other countries. Until recently, the UK didn't really do much about it but then out of nowhere its blown up and retailers are all offering deals and discounts.This year it is so close to the start of December its the perfect excuse to get your shopping done on the cheap side. 

Getting Autumn Ready

Autumn is here, autumn is here!! I love this time of year, perfect for hot chocolates, slippers, movie nights and of course cosy fashion. What better way to kick off the the season then investing in a a new handbag and a new jumper to keep you warm day and night. This post is in collaboration with the one and only Boutique of Molly, who I have worked with several times and this time is even better because...they've just launched a range of bags!

The new bags include everything from small for a night out to the larger shoppers to help you through everyday. 

La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo+ Unifiant Review

A cult favourite in my nighttime skincare is the La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo+, its powerful ingredients have changed my skin for the better and controlled the breakouts. If I could only take one skincare item with me to the moon that would be it - its my ride or die. However, these past few weeks its taken a back seat and the La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo+ Unifiant has become the star of the show. 

Luxury Vintage Jewellery Wishlist

Jewellery is something that every woman needs in here life, whether it be a small dainty ring or heavy, statement necklace. Its always needed and looks good no matter what you are wearing and when you are wearing it. 

The Beauty Tool You Need In Your Life

Eye makeup is not my territory, if I can avoid it I probably will! Its the hassle of looking into the mirror really close because I can't see without my glasses, combined with the mess it takes to create a gorgeous look. However, that has all changed in the last two weeks since the Shadow Switch* has come into my life.  

Make The Journey

First of all can we have a round of applause because there aren't any mirror pics anymore!! I've only gone and got myself someone to take the photos, that wonderful person is Charly from Charlotte-Jayne Photography. Her camera skills are insane and well you can see for yourself how good she is, stalk her instagram - show her some love. Thank you so much Charly! 

As autumn comes around, my shirt obsession has grown from 1 to 50. I can't stop buying them, wearing them and styling them. Women can wear shirts just as well as men can. They look great in the evening jazzed up with some jewellery, killer heels and trousers. During the day you can pair it with jeans, boots and leather jacket, just like I have to give you that smart-casual look. 

Current Beauty Setup

When you are beauty addict/have a shopping addiction/get easily influenced by everyone you need somewhere to keep it all. My little makeup storage was no longer working out and we had to take separate paths 💔. It was a hard time. A few weeks ago the lovely Sarah from Sarah Sparkles linked me to her new makeup storage post, she had just invested in some new storage and her post came at the same time as I was looking for some. It took me no more than 5 minutes after reading the post to buy the acrylic storage she had bought, it was perfect for everything and anything. 

Baie Botanique Skincare Review

Can you believe that we're in October?! Its crazy, how fast this year is going and the months are flying by. As the months go, the weather is becoming colder and my skin is feeling the effects, with it being more on the dry side rather than oily. Which means that its time to switch up my skincare and add some different products. The past few weeks, I've been using three products from the Baie Botanique* rose renew range and they've been working some great wonders on the skin. 

The regenerate line is primarily made up of rose and rosehip, both which have incredible benefits to the skin. They help to renew the skin and leave it looking glowing, young and feeling gentle.
