Things That Have Made Me Happy This Week

YSL Black Opium perfume | Wearing Urban Decay ammo palette (yes, eyeshadows make me happy!) | Me & Leah taking pictures haha | Leah's Birthday shoes from Topshop | More nail art | Heidi cuddles | My ASOS shoes for my birthday!

Hey, everyone! We hope you all had a great week :) This week started with our older sister coming home from holiday. She gave me and Leah YSL's Black Opium perfume as a present and I can honestly say this is one of my favourite perfumes ever! We've got a review coming up later this week on it.

We've been shopping for our new birthday shoes and the minute we saw Leah's shoes in Topshop, she knew she had to have them and can you blame her?! They're gorgeous! My shoes are from ASOS and I think they're going to be great to wear during the summer.

We're both so excited for next Thursday (22nd January) because we're seeing Slipknot and Korn in concert. They're two of our all time favourite bands ever so if we don't blog from Friday onwards it means we've died from fangirling too hard, haha! 

So this week has included many cuddles from Heidi, new shoes, more nail art and me and Leah messing around taking pictures :) How has your week been?

Love Rachel & Leah, x

Urban Decay Bondage Adhesive & Goldmine Heavy Metal Loose Glitter | Review & Swatches

With the festive season coming up, I think Urban Decay's heavy metal loose glitters make the perfect eye look. I purchased the shade Goldmine which is a yellow/gold glitter. First of all, I added a thin layer of the bondage adhesive onto my eyelid. Next I start adding the glitter. I was actually dreading applying the glitter as it's a messy task. I took off the lid of glitter as I find it easier this way as the glitter doesn't get everywhere. I held a tissue underneath my eye so the excess glitter didn't fall onto my face (once the glitter is your face it just doesn't budge!)

As a glitteroholic, I couldn't be happier with the end result. The glitter sparkles and looks so eye catching. I don't think you could achieve a more sparkly eye than this one! The staying power is just amazing and I had hardly any drop out during the day. Overall, at £10 per pot the loose glitters are a  must have for all glitter addicts! Christmas is all about sparkles so this look is just perfect for the feastive season or any special occasion!

What do you think of the Urban Decay Heavy Metal Loose Glitters?

Halloween | Kitty Cat Makeup

This post marks the beginning of our Halloween series! Me and Rachel were getting in the early Halloween spirit by playing around with our makeup. Rachel done my makeup as a cat and she done her makeup as a leopard and it just love how it turned out!

I just want to mention that both of these looks are inspired by Abby who runs the blog, Twist Me Pretty. You should check out her blog and youtube channel, it's amazing! Anyway, let's get to it and lets focus on the Kitty Cat makeup look which I was wearing!

I've always dressed up for Halloween and this year will be no different! For me, October has the vibe of Halloween for the whole of the month and I couldn't wait to finally try out a makeup look. This look was quite easy to achive as I found that it was just unusual twist on my normal makeup look. I prepared my skin with my normal foundation and powder. I then contoured my skin which I haven't really done before but now I'm obsessed! I then added a pink blush to my cheeks. The best thing about this look is the eyes! I obviously created a cat eye for this look. I made my flicks extra long and thick. I also added a sparkly eyeliner on top to give the look more glamour.

Products I used:

Face: Maybelline Superstay foundation | Rimmel Clear Complexion powder | Seventeen Highlighter | Dior Skin Healthy Glow blusher | Bourjois Paris Maxi Delight Bronzer

Eyes: Urban Decay in Sin | Bourjois in Upside Brown quad eyeshadows | Seventeen High Drama eyeliner | Too Faced Kohl eyeliner | Collection glitter eyeliner | Bourjois Volume Glamour mascara

Eyebrows: Too Faced brow evny kit

Lips: Barry M black lipstick

It isn't the scariest for Halloween but it's the perfect twist on your makeup look. You simply can't go wrong with a simply kitty cat makeup. As I said, this is only the first post in our Halloween series. Look out for more Halloween themed posts in the next two weeks.  

Have you ever been a kitten for Halloween? Do you think you'll try this look out? 

 Love Leah. x
