Happy Halloween!!
IT'S HALLOWEEN TIME. And that only means one thing.... PUMPKINS!! 
Every year since I can remember myself and my family have carved pumpkins so when Keira told me she has never carved a pumpkin I was shocked. 
We decided that it would be a super cute idea for a blog post. 
Enjoy.



First the scooping, for some reason my pumpkin was full of seeds so it took me a lot longer than Keira to scoop out all the insides. 
It gets your hands and arms all disgusting but it is definitely a great arm work out. ;)
Last year I saved my pumpkins seeds, It was a great snack but it did cause more
work than I needed so this year I just binned it.

Getting the right picture of the insides was key (Bottom Left)
And then it was on to the face :)

                            







I am not normally good at faces, I end up doing the average pumpkin face but this year 
I wanted to experiment. I decided to upgrade and go for Jack Skellington. 
I thought the eyes were going to be hard but it ended up being easier than I thought. 
We used little pumpkin knife that I got in a set when I was younger so it made it super easier. 

I found cutting the mouth the hardest and I think I ruined it but hey I am really proud. 

                 





With the help of a great Disney Playlists and a fun Sing-A-Long Keira and I finished our pumpkins.

Considering that this was Keira's first time carving I thing she did a great job ;) I do love the idea of the ears. Good job Keeks xox

I am however VERY proud of my pumpkin and it has been the best I have ever done! :)
Let me know what you are up to today? Any Halloween Traditions? 
Hope you all have a spoookkkky day (lol) and eat lots of candy ;)
Love Emma

Lets see him one more time.

Working in retail the hours are all over the place, so there are occasion where I will be doing a hella early shift. i.e. before sunrise. Getting out of bed is my main priority so I thought I would share what products I use for a 15 minute make-up look.

First of all to save me making a noise, waking my family I use this stunning Zoeva Rose Gold make-up bag (Review here). It helps keeps all my items together and its easy access in the morning.




BASE

An early starts means I don't want the hassle of putting on foundation so I use my Collection Concealer all over my face and use my Beauty Blender to blend it in my face, I have to use a good amount to cover up.

I will the apply the concealer again under eyes and any spots or flaws on my face. Again I use my beauty blender to blend the concealer in. I purchased my Beauty blender whilst I was in America in Sephora and I absolutely love it.


POWDER & BRONZER

Powder is next, I use my trusty Stay Matte powder all over my face using my Real Techniques Powder Brush. As powder does it keeps my face less shiny and help hold the concealer in place.  

Next is bronzer, bronzer is something I never leave the house with out so I use my Mac Natural Finish in Medium to give a natural contour, I use my Zoeva brush Cream Cheek brush and give myself a simple contour under my cheekbones. I then will then pull it up contouring my either side of my face and then down contouring my jawline.  
I don't bother with highlight or blush so that is my face done. 


EYES

Mascara next, I use my Tweezerland eyelash curlers bought in Sephora (Haul here) and curl my eyelashes, I then use Maybeline the falsies first, then wait until it drys and the curl again and the apply Benefit Bad Gal lash. I may have to repeat a few times depending on how well my lashes go. 
If I am having a good morning and have times I will use on of my Mac Prolong Paint Pot for quickness, I find them so easy and simple to use. 

Lastly, I fill my brows. I use the shade 'Cover' from the Naked Basics 2 palette. I have been told it is the perfect for me, I fill them in with my Real Techniques eyebrow brush. I love how small this brush is, it means I can get great precision on the brows. 


LIPS

For my lips, I tend to just put lip balm on but I have been loving Revlon Colour Burst in the shade Elusive or Angel by Mac. Both are very pretty neutral shades.

....And thats me done. This would normally take around 15 minutes and is super easy.

As I have wrote several times Autumn is one of my favourite times of the year. I love the feel of the weather and being cosy. I love the colours and the food. I just love everything. 
I have seen a few bloggers post this and I loved the idea, so I've picked my top 3 things  that will be my Autumn Essentials. 



Number 1 on my list this year has to be Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Skin cream. 
My hands can get really dry in this weather so it is very important to keep them moisturised.
I picked Elizabeth Arden cream at duty free and can't wait to use it more. 
It has done wonders to my hands already. 




CANDLES CANDLES CANDLES. Candles are a must. A candle is my house definitely screams cozy nights in. Lighting a candle, shutting the curtains and cozying up watching a movie or X-Factor makes me so happy.
I picked up two in the Yankee Candel shop, 'Candy Corn and Christams Memories'. 




A super cosy jumper is definitely high  on my list for a perfect Autumn outfit.
This is the warmest jumper from TopShop. 
This was replacing my favourite Topshop I purchased a few years ago. I wore the life out of that jumper and I felt that I needed a upgrade.
A jumper, blanket and a hot drink and you will be set. 

It is a super cute Navy colour and super warm.  

I want to do another Autumn Essentials or maybe a Winter one? 
Let me know if you would like to see? 
I know coming into Christmas time my esstionals will change. 
I have some cute ideas for my blog for the upcoming weeks. 
Let me know your Essentials?!

Hello lovelies, I thought I would share a few pics from my Paris trip as a nice midweek post. If you don't know myself and my family went to Paris as it was my mums birthday. We stayed in Disneyland Paris but we took a day to Paris and did all the tourist sights. 

First stop the Arc de Triomphe.

We then walked to see the Eiffel Tower. 

The Champs Elysees was filled with Elle Poster from Paris Fashion Week!
My fav Eeyore in the Disney Dreams Parade.

I thought this was super cute of Eve and Wall-e in Discoveryland.



Sleeping Beauty's Castle looking stunning. 
 So this will be my last holiday/Paris post I swear. I had such a great time. 
If anyone has been before I would love to see your pics. 
Hope you are having a great week. 
Love Emma

Hey, sorry I haven't posted in a while, like I mention I was on a family holiday in Paris so it was a bit crazy and I never had time to write and upload posts. 
But I am back, with, as you can tell from the title a Disney Haul. I only purchased a few things but I thought I would share,.




 This year I really want to change my Christmas decor for my room, I have had the same decor since I was little so I think I need a change.

I saw this and had to buy it, I have never had a wreath before in my room so I thought this would be perfect to start my new decorations. 

As you can see it it is shaped like Mickey Mouse which is super cute. I love the pretty red in the middle.
The gold bobbles have glitter on them whereas the red bobbles are just shiny. 

I am super excited about Christmas so you will definitely see this featured in a Christmas room 
tour.



 The next two things are two simple things.
A Minnie Mouse pen. 
My plan was to get a bunch of pens and put them in my room and it would really cute. But they never really had pens that I had in mind.
I purchased the Minnie Mouse one as I never wanted to leave empty handed. 
I remember buying this when I was younger and it was my  favourite pen.

I then picked up this adorable lanyard with Thumper on it. It is meant for collecting pins but I am going to wear it at work to keep my keys and my pass. 

I think the pattern and the colours are super pretty and although its coming into the Winter it definitely is my colours.




Lastly, I FINALLY GOT SVEN. Sven is my favourite character from Frozen. 
Ever since the movie has came out I have been looking for him. 
I have been to Disney several times since the movie came out and they never had him as a stuffed toy. It was always Olaf. But this year I finally got him. 

I first saw him in the shop after the Buzz Lightyear ride(which has to be one of my favourite shops now) and bought him right away. 

What makes it better is that he has a Christmas hat on, I love christmas. I love Sven. So it was a win win. 



I also bought a few gifts for friends which I can't show ;)
I had an amazing time and I can't wait to go back. 
I am thinking of uploading some holiday pics so let me know if you want to see them. 
Hope everyone is having a ball. 
Love Emma
