Halloween Nail Art: Dripping Blood

Hey Guys!

Here is a super easy and quick nail art idea for Halloween I have to share with you. I did this last year and could not resist doing it again!

1. Paint your nails with a base coat. To help make the blood look more 'wet' looking you could use a matte coat. However, you do not have to do this- I didn't!

2. Grab a tool with a rounded point (I used the end of a paint brush) and dip it in to red nail polish. Then, carefully dot three dots near the bottom of your nail at different heights.

3. If needed get more nail polish on to the tool and slowly drag a line from a dot to the top of your nail. Ensure you leave spacing between each line.

4. After you have done your three lines, join them up at the top by using the dotted tool to add curved lines. This really gives the effect of dripping blood!

5. Put on a top coat to the blood. I highly recommend a high shine top coat to make the blood look wet! If you used a matte base coat underneath this will really stand out against it.

And that's it! What do you think? Also, what are you going as for Halloween? Let me know!

Lush Wishlist Part 2: Christmas!

Hello!

The best products from Lush always come out at Christmas so even though it is a bit too early to get excited for Christmas I couldn't help but check out the products!

1) Drummers Drumming Bubble Bar- This is an awesome looking bubble bar that looks like a drum. You can even shake it to play the bells against the drum! It also lasts quite a few baths which is always a bonus.

2) The Melting Snowman Bath Melt- This bath melt has almond oil and cocoa butter in it so it seems it will make the bath really moisturising for the skin. Plus, how can you resist that little face? 

3) Luxury Lush Pud Bath Bomb- This looks amazing. It was on my Christmas list last year but sadly I never got it so I am determined to get it this year! It looks like loads of fun and my favourite types of bath bombs are the ones that put on a show.

4) Snow Fairy Shower Gel- The Christmas classic. I got this last year and I absolutely loved it. It has a sweet bubblegum smell and definitely is one to try out.

5) Snowcake Soap- I received this soap as a gift two years ago after my friend told me it was great for sensitive skin which is what I have. It was extremely nourishing for my skin and stopped my hands getting super dry and skin broken in the cold!

6) Golden Wonder Bath Bomb- Another bath bomb that looks like absolute fun. It is big too so it would definitely be luxurious!

7) Dashing Santa Bath Bomb- This is just too cute to resist! It would definitely be perfect for Christmas Eve. 

8) The Christmas Hedgehog Bubble Bar- The only thing cuter than the Dashing Santa bath bomb. We have been getting lots of hedgehogs in our garden this year so it seems fitting that I have an adorable little friend for myself.

So there you have it! If I try any of these I will be sure to review it for you guys!
What do you want from the Christmas range? Let me know!

Also, make sure you check out my previous post if you haven't already which was Part 1 of this wishlist for the Fireworks Night/Halloween products.

Lush Wishlist Part 1: Fireworks Night/Halloween

Hey guys!

Today I am bringing you part 1 out of 2 of my Lush wishlist which has been inspired by all the new seasonal products they have brought out! This time of year is always best for Lush and every year it excites me greatly.
This part is about the Firework night/Halloween products. Fireworks night is something we celebrate in the UK (Google it!) and is also known as Bonfire Night or Guy Fawkes Night.

1) Sparkly Pumpkin- This bath bomb looks perfect for Halloween! In the shape of pumpkin with a beautiful deep orange and glitter it is bound to be a fun, spooky product!

2) Northern Lights- My favourite type of bath bombs are the ones which go various colours and put on a show for entertainment purposes. The beautiful colours and promise of excitement drawn me instantly to this product and it is the one I would like to get the most.

Zoella Beauty Wishlist

Hey!

It is common knowledge now that famous beauty blogger and YouTuber Zoe Sugg has released her first beauty line. 
I really like what she has brought out and there are a few things in fact that I'd like to get:

1) Zoella Beauty Eyes Beauty Bag
This is what I want the most. That shade of blue is one of my absolute favourite colours and Zoe's eyes look perfect.

2) Zoella Beauty Fizz Bar Fragranced Bath Fizzer
I would also really like to try this fizz bar out. I love bath products like these and it seems so cool how it looks like a white chocolate bar that you break off in to squares! It would last quite a few bath times.

3) Zoella Beauty Blissful Mistful Fragranced Body Mist
Finally, I wouldn't mind trying out this body mist. It has such pretty packaging and I'd love to smell what it smells like and see how long it lasts.

That's it! Zoe has done absolutely amazing here. In addition, Tanya Burr has more stuff coming out in her beauty range which I cannot wait to see.

What do you want to try out from Zoella Beauty? I'd love to know!

September Instagram Round Up

Hello! It's that time again!

These photos were taken from my personal Instagram @BrionyBea but I also have an Instagram for my blog which is @SincerelyBrionyBea.

1) My friend Emily celebrated her 18th birthday at the beginning of the month so this was a photo with her.

2) A photo of me and my boyfriend (slightly drunk) from Emily's birthday party.

3) The same day, me and my boyfriend also celebrated our 1 year anniversary! So at the bottom is a collage I had made of photos of us from throughout the year.

4) It was also my boyfriend's 19th birthday so I had baked him a cake.

5) An outfit of the day where I was showing my comic strip tights.

I had also uploaded a video in September of the Tour of Britain which is a cycling race around Britain.

So there you have it! It seems September was very largely based around my boyfriend but September holds quite a few important dates for us.

What did you get up to in September?

Shopping Haul |BeautyByElliee

Hi guys!
My name is Ellie (from over at http://beautybyelliee.blogspot.co.uk/) and I am a shopaholic.
So yeah, I spent a teency weency bit more money that intended last week, and a problem shared is a problem halved right? So I thought I would share what I bought with you lovely lot, on with the post!

The first Item I have is from Hollister, and I must admit I haven't been in a Hollister shop in years, I didn't plan on buying anything but when I saw this Slogan top I actually loled. It was £22 and it is really soft and hangs off  the body so nicely. It's also not plastered with the Hollister logo which I like.

"Dibs on the Drummer"

The next shop we visited was boots, I have recently had my hair cut a lot shorter. I made a vow to myself that this time I would take proper care of my hair. So I bought a hair mask and a hair serum mist. These promised to make my hair stronger, softer and shinier- and that's what I want for my dull tangled hair! Hair mist   Hair mask

I don't have pictures of these Items *sorryyyy*

The last shop we visited was H&M and I bought two tops; A sheer, thin stripy grey jumper, and a lace trimmed floral tank top. I've worn these together and I loved how the lace of the top peaked out from the jumper.

That's all I bought on this shopping trip, If you have enjoyed this post, feel free to check out my blog linked at the beginning. Thank you to Briony for having me guest post on her blog!

Lots of love,

Top 10 Under £10!

Hey!

After much consideration and debating with myself I have compiled by top 10 products under £10.

1. The Body Shop Tea Tree Face Wash £5.00- This is my ultimate face wash! I have been using it for years and I just can’t get enough. It lasts for such a long time and is perfect if you have blemished, acne prone skin that you want to keep under control
2. The Body Shop Tea Tree Night Lotion £9.00- To go hand in hand with the face wash is the night lotion which moisturises the skin and helps blemishes. I like to apply this on my face then put dots of it on annoying spots over night to help keep them at bay.
3. Natural Collection Corrector Stick £1.99- I never wear makeup without putting this on first. This is a green corrector stick that you put over redness on your face to counter out the redness. It doesn’t show through your foundation and helps enormously for a more balanced complexion.
4. Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer £4.19- The concealer that every blogger raves about and the concealer that has been my holy grail for many years. It is a high coverage concealer that covers up redness, spots and dark circles like a dream. A product I definitely recommend!
5. Real Techniques Expert Face Brush £9.99- Although this is only technically 1p under £10, it is certainly worth a mention! A super soft brush which does an excellent job at applying foundation for a flawless look.
6. Maybelline Baby Lips Lip Balm £2.99- These lip balms are amazing! They moisturise, smell incredible and the ones that aren’t clear add a great tint of colour to your lips! My favourite one is Cherry Me as it gives makes my lips a subtle red when I want a more natural look or don’t have time to apply lipstick.
7. Maybelline Color Tattoo Eye shadow £4.99- I always found eyeshadows never stayed on my eyelids until I found these. A cream eyeshadow that lasts on your eyes 24 hours without a single smudge. They offer some beautiful bright colours- my favourite is ‘Everlasting Navy’.
8. Sleek i-Divine ‘Storm’ Eyeshadow Palette £7.99- 12 mineral eyeshadows with shimmer and matte shades to bring you from day to night. Great to travel with!
9. Lush Rub Rub Rub Shower Scrub £8.50- My favourite body scrub. It smells like the sea and feels fresh on the skin. Great for a vigorous scrub on dry skin or a more gentle scrub on wet skin.
10. Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub £5.50- Another scrub for you: I buy this every year and like to use it after I have had a shower. The great thing about this lip scrub is that it is sugar based and exfoliates all the dead skin off of your lips. Then afterwards you can just lick off the excess which tastes just like bubblegum! Excellent for using before you apply lipstick for a smooth finish and longer lasting stay power.

 So those are my top 10 under £10! I use all of these products regularly and would repurchase them if I haven’t already. It was so difficult to choose only 10!

Do you use any of these products? Let me know!
