Sophia's November Wishlist



Topshop Allegra boots. Ohhh I really like these, I wish everyone in the world would stop buying them so they would come back in stock. Size 4 please!!

YSL Touche Eclat £17.95 from Cheap Smells I've used this for about 6 years. Im addicted to using it under my eyes and feel naked without it. I ran out about a month ago (ahh) so its been a tough time lol

Loreal Primer £12 This is a must have for under my foundation. My skin is gets so oily and shiny without it. I think ill buy this again or a Smashbox one.

Jeans I really need jeans for winter. Atm i only have jeggings from topshop so im startin to get a bit chilly. The jeans pictured are from Superdry £74.99 ...too expensive

Topshop Jumpers £40 & £36  I love the first jumper, it has a black bow at the back. I tried it on a month ago, its soo soft and cute. The second one i just want as a simple jumper.

Boohoo Sara Belted Slater Dress  Only 15!! I want this to wear with thick tights and boots or heels for a night out. I was reading the reviews and hope it wong be too long as i'm only 5"1. If i order it and its fits i might get a black one too...

Sophia's Halloween preparations!!

I LOVEEEE Halloween! I like dressing up and doing freaky make up. I've been a witch, vampire and zombie. So this year my friends and I are going as dead doctors and nurses!! This year i've decided to go full on with the make up and bought liquid latex, moulding putty and lots of blood!
 
 
For my nails I was gong to do red with black crackle but then I remembered the dripping style nail art, so I think my nails will look like this:
My first try!
As for scars, blood and bruises im going to use, liquid latex and toilet paper, putty, stage blood and make up. I've practiced on myself, the boyf and my mum:
ewwwww lol
The bruise  is just eyeshadow from my ebay 88 palette. For the manky cut i did 2 layers of liquid latex, layer on toilet roll, another layer of latex and when its dry you just cut a hole/line in the latex/tissue. Then add purples,reds and brown colours so it looks sore. For the blood I hadnt bought any stage blood yet so I used coffee, syrup and ribeana lol

Ben nye scar wax
My hand and cheek
For these scars I put two layers of latex, once dried applied a thin layer of spirit gum, when tacky get a butter knife and spread a small bit of wax on to my skin blending the edges, then get the knife again and make the cut/slit/wound. I then put one more layer of latex and then apply the make up and blood!
My mum wanted to join in lol
 Outfit
For the main outfits the boys have ordered medical scrubs from Yarmo.com. For us girls I ordered this nurse outfit. Both outfits are going to be covered in blood and dirt. I had to alter the hat that came with the dress because it was massive and wouldnt stay on my head.
L-R Old hat, New hat. All you need is a plastic headband, scissors and sewing kit
I also bought a stethoscope, medical masks and white fishnet tights just for the finishing touch. Ill do another post with pictures of the full outfit after saturday. WOOOO!!

Lesley on another two bites the dust

Well well well, another 2 makeup products down and about a gillion to go! I think I've done pretty darn well not buying any makeup, but my wish list is growing! Also i have asked for a lighter tinted moisturiser sample, which i don't think is really cheating (on my terms anyway) Let's get down to business.

Barry M Limited Edition Lipgloss 3mls - Colour unknown


I'm quite disappointed that this colour has (almost) finished. I didn't finish it because 1) i couldn't get to the end and 2) i wanted to show you a hint of colour it once was. Its quite a transparent candy floss nudey pink (might be called Nearly Nude) which is perfect for me for day wear. It also has the most gorgeous toffee smell and i just want to eat it! I would purchase again and although they are limited edition, i think they are still selling them when you buy it with an Impulse body spray HERE its for £3.00 which i don't actually think is that bad for a lipgloss AND a spray. I'd love to buy other Barry M colours too as i have always stuck to their nail varnishes and not much else.


I took off the 'stopper' by teasing it out with scissors, but you can also use a butter knife. It got me a little bit of product lurking from the top, but ill have to use half a cotton bud to fish the ends out - yes i hate throwing away makeup that still have the products in them!


 Avon Lip Lip Balm Conditoner

My mum bought this lip balm ahhhges ago and i took it from her, it was literally years ago and really should have been binned by now. It looks white and scary in the stick but it is a gorgeous pearly pink with a bit of shimmery particles, which i like a lot. Its more like a primer though that a balm as it doesn't nourish my lips quite so much. Also i like to put it under the Barry M for a bit more sheen, and it makes my lipgloss last longer. I want to look for another one like this but maybe try a different brand, such as the new Carmex range. Its one of those products you just want to hurry up and get rid of but can't bin at the same time!






Colour doesn't show up on my lips, its actually not as transparent as this in real life, but wanted to show you the nice sheen it gives off, i think this is perfect for day to day use as i don't want to have too much makeup on for work. It reminds me of my MAC's 'Nice Buzz' which will be my replacement.

That's it for now, which brings it to 3 makeup products and 2hair/ body products. Hopefully i'll have another few products to post in the next week as I'm making good use of my products. Also, i did finish a few of my sachets that have been lurking around but i didn't think it counted as they were tiny things
