Halloween Decorations Haul!


Hello Everybody!

Today I'm going to be showing you what spookstacular Halloween decorations I recently purchased, however I couldn't get all of the decorations I was hoping to get so I'm not 100% happy with how it all looks but that's okay. All of the decorations you will see in this video are from Asda, Poundland and Wilko.
So lets get started mwahaha!

I love sugar skulls so a lot of these decorations are sugar skull related, this wreath is from Asda and I think its so beautiful, it has black plastic strands all around it with felt flowers and a felt skull and it looks so pretty on the door.


This little decoration I have stuck to the door underneath the wreath its a skeleton that has been printed on a kind of chalk board material slab and it has very pretty bright sugar skull/ day of the dead detailing on it. This one is from poundland.



I have this decoration stuck to the wall, I love this one its so bright and colourful but it also has a glittery face and you all know how much I love my glitter. This one was from Asda.


This was actually a table cloth but my table is black so you wouldn't have been able to see it very well so I stuck it to the wall and put some bright purple fairy lights around it which looks great when the lights are off! The table cloth is from poundland and the lights are from Asda.


I think this one has to be my favourite its a sugar skull candle and its so big and heavy haha, I'm never going to burn this its too pretty i think I'm going to keep it out all year round just because I think it is so pretty, this one is from Asda.



This one I got from poundland and I bought this one just because I thought it was pretty, its shaped like an old vintage mirror and is covered in black glitter. As you can see none of my decorations are very scary haha.


This one is also from poundland its plastic and as you can see has a skull on it, the eye is supposed to light up red but mine for some reason doesn't work unless you push on the battery but hey you get what you pay for.


I have two of these fake candles which have black glitter on them and the flame kind of flickers like a real candle would. They are from Asda. These little photo things I think are so cool they are a hologram so from one angle it just looks like a normal Victorian photo but in another angle they look all creepy and zombified. These are from poundland.


Here is the other one I have you can kind of see the zombie faces more in this photo.


These are some little battery skull lights that I got from poundland they are actually quite bright when the lights are off. I have just blue tacked these to my TV stand.


This is a cute little banner that says 'Happy Halloween' with some pretty patterns on it, it also has a cracked china effect printed on to it which make it look old and creepy. I have this stuck to my wall too and this is also from poundland.


I bought seven of these lanterns all from poundland, I then attached them all to  a long piece of string and then attached them to the celling so that they all hang in a straight line, i don't know if you can see from the picture but these have little lights in them that are battery operated so when  the room is dark it kind of projects skulls around the room which looks really cool.


I think this banner may also be one of my favourites, its from Wilko and they are a very thin paper sugar skull with shapes cut out of them and I love these a lot they look so delicate and pretty.


I did this painting a while back but I didn't like it but my mum loved it so she hung it on the wall so to try and make it look a bit better lol I hung this really pretty sugar skull banner over the top of it which I believe is from Asda.

This pretty little spooky decoration is from Asda and to be totally honest I bought this because I really liked the bright colours of the glitter haha. I just have this sitting on my windowsill.


This is a holographic skeleton from poundland, although this isn't supposed to look pretty, when its dark and theres a little bit of light shining onto it it looks really shiny and glitter although there is no glitter on this lol there are flecks of green,orange and silver and I really like it.

So you have now reached the end of this blog post feel free to comment below and let me know which decoration is your favourite and please feel free to share it would be much appreciated. :) <3

Autumn Nail Colours!



 Hello Everyone!

Happy October, what better way to kick off autumn than to show you some autumn nail colours that I love! I am obsessed with nail polish, my collection is massive and still growing, I can't stop myself, so now its time to put away the pinks, neons and pastels and dig out the browns berry and reds. so lets get started...




Reds are a classy touch to your autumn nails however it has to be the right shade of red, the kinds you will want to look for are the deep warm reds rather than a bright striking red, these are three of my favourites.


Sensationail- Sugar Plum gragees
This is a gel nail colour which means it needs to be used with a uv lamp and a gel top and base coat but this is a lovely deep dark shade of red which I think is perfect for autumn and because it is gel it lasts for weeks.




Rimmel-Ruby Crush
This is a beautiful nail colour its a beautiful dark red with a ton of red and silver glitter, I would maybe wear this one nearer the end of autumn because its a lovely autumn/winter shade, the sparkle is lovely too!




China Glaze- Red Stallion
This colour is lovely because it looks bright at first sight but when you look at it in the light there's a kind of darker shimmer to it what i really love the shimmer is beautiful too.




Berry M- Berry Cosmo
I think this is my favourite shade, I wear this shade so much throughout autumn because its such a sexy colour I love it its a very dark berry purple which literally matches everything and lasts so long as well as having a lovely mirror shone to it, its beautiful.



Essie- Shearling Darling
This is a typical berry red colour its dark purply red with a lovely shine to it this colour also looks lovely with glitter over the top.

Essie- Toggle To The Top
I got this colour in a set with the Essie colour above, these two colours look lovely together but also looks beautiful on its own its the same colour as above but there is some red glitter in this one which is a lovely touch to an autumnal nail polish


Bourjois- Violine Hypnotique
I am obsessed with this colour its a dark berry purple with lighter purple shimmer in it and its so lovely to wear throughout autumn, it looks so classy and sophisticated this one is also very shiny.




Essie- Tassel Shaker
I mainly use this one as a top coat to add a little bit of sparkle to my nails or on an accent nail however this nail polish has enough glitter in it to completely cover the nail with just two coats which is really hard to find in a glitter nail polish.



Ciate- I'm not sure what the shade is
This colour is lighter than the ones on her so far its a light warm brown colour, its less shiny than the others, I have to admit I don't wear this colour as much as the others because I'm not as keen on it as the other ones however I do still wear it and its lovely none the less.


Rimmel- Bling on The Glitter
I have only recently bought this one so I haven't worn it yet but its a very warm gold shimmer with pink chinks of glitter in it, again you could wear this as a top coat or on its own, it both looks lovely.

Tanya Burr Cosmetics- Sleigh Bells
I recently bought the Tanya Burr Christmas 2016 advent calendar and I was really naughty and opened it early and this nail polish was inside it which I instantly fell in love with it its a gold coppery glitter and if you can see the swatch in the picture above you will kind of see that the top part of the nail has a lot more glitter packed onto it than the bottom, this is because I applied it with a sponge so that the excess liquid in the nail polish seeps into the sponge and leaves you with just the glitter which will adhere to the nail much thicker than it would if you were to apply it with the brush as sown in the bottom half of the nail.

China Glaze- Medallion
This colour is stunning, the glitter fully applies with only two coats and its a beautiful orangey gold with holographic glitter and reminds me of an autumn leaf or an open fire which is so cosy to me.




Barry M- Copper 
This colour is so pretty its amazing its a bronzey brown colour with orangey pinky goldy specks of glitter, it looks different is different angles each time you move your fingers a different sparkle of glitter shines through with I love.



Tanya Burr Cosmetics- Duvet Day
This obviously is the more ashy neutral autumn colour which also looks lovely and classy for when the weather is starting to get a bit colder, I think this colour would also look very pretty with a glitter topcoat or an accent nail.



Rimmel- Rain Rain Go Away
This colour is a bit harder to describe so I'm going to try my best to get it as accurate as I can. In my opinion this colour is more of a warn grey with a hint of pink which would look lovely with almost anything I also feel this colour would compliment any skin tone, my skin is very pale and it still looks OK.

Tanya Burr- Soft Pyjamas
This colour would look lovely in autumn its a warm but still neutral pink, what I love about this nail polish is the matte finish it gives it a very sophisticated look, I think this is very pretty.

Orly- Rage
This colour is so pretty its a light pink with gold glitter in it. Its such a girly colour for autumn rather than the bold dark reds etc.

Tanya Burr- New Chapter
Last but not least is this pinky grey colour which is a very pretty plain colour which would also look really pretty with an accent nail again I love the matte finish on this and the warm undertones in this colour will look lovely for autumn.


So that's all for today. Thank you all so much for reading and please feel free to comment and share it would be much appreciated:) <3

DIY Mind/Mindful Ja


Hello Everyone!
Today I'm going to be showing you how to make a mind jar. These are especially good for people that suffer with anxiety, it is a form of meditation that keeps your brain occupied when you are feeling stressed or anxious. The idea of this jar is that you shake it and all of the pieces of glitter are your stressed out mind and you then watch all the glitter settle at the bottom of the jar which helps to relax you and bring you back to your normal state of mind.

You Will Need:
-Glitter Glue (you can use clear pva glue but I didn't have any)
-Hot Water
-Jar
-Glitter
-Spoon
-Food Colouring (optional)

Step 1:
Fill up your jar half way with the hot water, the hot water will help the glitter glue (or pva glue) melt and combine with the other materials.



Step 2: Pour all of your glitter glue into the jar, you will need quite a lot to make sure that the glitter doesn't settle too quickly


Step 3: Stir all of your glitter until all have the lumps have disappeared, I loved how the blue, pink and purple glitter looked but the consistency wasn't thick enough so I had to add some red glitter which I don't like as much but oh well.


Step 4: Add some loose glitter to give the jar more sparkle, this will also help to thicken the consistency which will make the glitter settle a bit slower I am using Magpie Beauty's glitter which is actually for your nails but I love the colours so much that I threw a bit into the jar too.

Step 5:Stir the contents again and that's it, all you need to do now is put the lid on, shake and enjoy!

Thank you so much for reading, I hope you enjoyed, please feel free to comment below and share it would be much appreciated :) <3
