Halloween Makeup Tutorial! | leeannpatricia


Its been a long time, I know but I'm trying to get back into blogging weekly! I have been super busy with college and that's been my main focus at the moment, so I hope you understand! 
So its nearly Halloween! and although I'm not doing anything this year I have to say I'm super excited for all the crazy tutorials! 
So I decided to go for a bright but bold makeup look and I absolutely love it. Its super quick and easy to do for your Halloween night! So if your one that doesn't know what to do for Halloween this is perfect for you!

So lets get started..


Step 1
Its pretty simple so just prime and conceal your eyes!

Step 2
You want to create a thick winged line using Gel eyeliner and fine liner brush when you've got it perfect you want to drag the end of the liner into the crease to create a 'cut crease'. When that is done you want to blend the line you created for the crease upwards! 

Step 3
Once that is done, its time for abit of colour! You can choose any colour you want but I thought Orange and Yellow seemed to fit the theme. So put the orange half way across the eye and apply with a flat eyeshadow brush, and then apply the yellow. You want to blend the two colours together so grab a fluffy brush and blend, blend, blend! 

Step 4
Its time for a pop of white! (You can either grab a glitter white shadow and a matte white) So what I did was grab another flat brush and applied the white into the yellow and in the corners of the eyes!

Step 5
Now put  black into the crease so grab a matte black on a fluffy brush and blend that crease till your happy with it!

Now you can apply big lashes if you want to or just use mascara...but your done!


Hope you enjoyed the tutorial! If you want to know anything else please feel free to leave a comment or email me! Also if you want to see an in depth tutorial feel free to comment and maybe I will make a video for you all!

Clothing Haul! | leeannpatricia


So last night I was thinking what I could do next for a blog post and a Haul sprang to mind! I have currently just got back off a unexpected driving lesson eating a pot of Nutella while I type this out. I wasn't sure how I could get any good pictures of these purchases purely because the weather is awful and my lighting in my room is dreadful but I decided to go with it and had a photoshoot in my room.. so here is my haul!

On Saturday I went down to shopping centre not far away from where I live, and they have some such an amazing range of shops! I'm literally obsessed. 
So first we went in a few shops and I couldn't find anything I liked, then we went into Zara.
_____


This is from "Zara trf" I found it on a rale with a punch of colours and I absolutely love how it looks on its also super soft and comfy. I absolutely Iove wearing baggy t-shirts on one shoulder and I fell in love with this pattern and how it fell when I wore it. Its black and white with a V-neck, it was also £12.99 and in the size medium.

_____

Next I had a rome around Topshop but I couldn't really see anything that caught my eye and plus I was saving myself for one shop in particular! Its called 'Ark' and its my favourite shops in the world! It's full of some amazing clothes from shops such as Motel, Hearts and Bows, Umenda etc. When we finally reached the shop there was 20% off with student cards and there was already a sale on with most of the summer clothes so obviously I took advantage! 


I fell in love with this top when I came across it in the shop! Its from a brand called Hearts & Bows, its a white crop top, sleeveless with cute little patterns on it. It is a little see through but its perfectly fine if you wear a white bra, you could defiantly pair this up with a skirt, shorts or even your favourite pair of trousers. This was in the sale from £16.99 down to £8 and I got it in the size 6.


This top is from Motel, and I was super happy when I saw this was in the sale because I love the style of this top, its something different! There was other patterns but I liked how the sunflowers looked on the top, its add's a bit of a summery feel to a cold season. Its a halter neck top, and is super comfortable. I'd defiantly recommend wearing a strapless bra! I got this in the size 'S', also this was £17.99 down to £10!


This skirt is also from Hearts & Bows, I thought it had a little vintage feel to it! I loved the colours and how it fell when I wore it. It is a little baggy around my waist but there's always room to grow into it! You can wear this skirt anytime of the wear with a pair of tights or just for summer and you can also pair it with a plain white crop top and some white pumps! I just thought it was super cute and also another bargain, this was £17 down to £8, and I got it in the size 8! 


I've been wanting shorts like this for a long time, as I love the lace and how summery they are! I'm a lil obsessed with the whole sunflower pattern at the moment so I had to get these! They are super comfortable, light weight, and baggy. They pull in at the waist which is great, the only bad thing is that you have to pull them up really high that your bum cheeks are on show a bit, but I suppose you've got to flaunt it! These are from Umenda, I got them in a size 'S'. They were £19.99 down to £8! 


Which is your favourite piece from this haul?


I hope you enjoyed my little haul! If you want me to find any links please let me know!

Recent Beauty Purchases | leeannpatricia


Its finally October and its getting a lil chilly. I love that I can wear a fluffy jumper around town and not be cold but I can't wait for the nights in watching films and drinking hot chocolate to stay warm!
So its a new month and as its me I always buy something new for every month (a bad habit i guess)  So here's my first purchases of the month!

Rimmel London Match Perfection Foundation

Now I've been needing a new cheap foundation to wear on my lazy days and this foundation is perfect for only £6.99 from Superdrug. Now I'm not a 100% sure what it will be like but I've heard good things for a good friend of mine that used this foundation a lot! I got the lightest colour which is 010 Light Porcelain, I got this colour as I'm pale anyway but as winter is getting closer and closer I will be looking like a snowman in no time, so this was a perfect match. When trying the test out in the shop it seemed like a very smooth and easy to blend consistency but if you want to hear a review then let me know and I'll be on it!

Collection 2000 Lasting Pefection Concealer

Now if your obsessed with makeup like I am, you've probably heard the hype about this little beauty. This is the Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer, and it's amazing. I've had this concealer before and I loved it, however it was a little pricey for the smallest product and the colour was a little bit off for my skin tone, but I learned to live with it and blend it perfectly and honestly it was amazing for covering them beautiful spots we all get sometimes. Now when I first bought this product last year it was at least £5 but I got it from SuperDrug for £3.99, as it was on offer! I defiantly recommend you all go out and get this bad boy if you haven't got it already!

Eylure Pre-Glued Lashes

These eyelashes are absolutely beautiful and as soon as I saw them I had to get them! They are pre-glued which I dislike but you can pick the pre-glue of and use normal eyelash glue (which is what I do) They are super natural, wispy and i'm 100% in love with these! The lashes are from SuperDrug and were on offer for £3.56!



If you have any questions feel free to contact me, or if you would like me to do a review on any of these products let me know!
