Halloween fun

It's Halloween weekend so just for fun I thought I'd have a bit of a play with my makeup and outfit 

I'm not sure who I'm trying to be maybe a black swan .... 

I've been on the hunt for black lipstick like forever ever since Mac brought out a limited edition one that was sold out well before I realised 

But not to worry as I discovered Barry M does one for a fraction of the cost when I first applied it I was convinced it looked dark green but than I reapplied with a lip brush and voila problem solved 

 

Halloweens a great excuse to go for really dark vampy makeup. 

Have a fab weekend xXx 

All black with a pop of pink

I've been wearing a lot of dark colours recently which is unlike me as I'm not one to wear colour appropriate to the seasons so today I thought I'd add a pop of pink to brighten up my look finished off with some funky shades 

I've also been living in high waisted jeans I don't know what I would do without them they're so much more flattering than wearing jeans on the hip unless you have got that surfboard stomach to go with them. 

I don't usually buy primark jeans but their high waisted jeans actually fit really nice and at £12 you can stock up !!

It's been a while ....

I'm back...

And just like that I neglected my blog time to get back to doing what I love and sharing my outfit posts 

I thought I'd share a few favourite outfit posts that I've posted on my Instagram account @alsbeautyinabox 

Neon & Stripes 

I love mixing colour and prints 

If your not afraid of colour adding a bold item of clothing or accessories can instantly add some funk to any outfit

If like me and your on the petite size wearing midi skirts that have a high waist can help give the illusion of having a bit more curves and enhance your shape in a more flattering way. But don't forget the heels that makes a big difference too on your posture.

If they're good enough for Beyonce

I spotted these jeans on Beyoncé at the beginning of the summer realising that they where H&M and actually affordable I went on a mission to find them and what a mission it was they where only available on H&M website I ordered them twice and both times they didn't turn up after selling out I was lucky on my third attempt of ordering them as much as I love H&M this has completely put me off ordering online I have never experienced such bad delivery service I will stick to just buying from my local stores!! 

Jeans H&M

Blazer & shoes New look 

Camo print 

Ever seen something you really like in the shops and know straight away your buying it than frantically start searching and praying they have your size well that was me when I spotted this shirt, the amount of camo and khaki print clothing I have is ridiculous but it's a colour and print I frankly don't think I will ever get bored of. 

Shirt H&M 

Bag Tu Sainsburys 

Yep I purchased a handbag whilst doing my food shop and it's really good quality for what it is I can't fault anything about it.

Double Shirt 

I've had both of these shirts for a while now the denim shirt is still available from H&M 

Doubling up your shirts is a great way to layer up throughout the colder months. Get more from the look by adding a waist belt and some knee high socks obviously not with these shoes. 

Both shirts H&M 

Shoes New look
