I Heart Fall Tag!♡

Helloooooo! Today's post is the I ♡ Fall Tag! I hope you enjoy.
1. Favorite Fall lip product? 

This is so difficult for me as I love so many dark lips and try out so many different shades. But I recently purchased the MAC Viva Glam III and it's like a dark nude so is really wearable aswell as being a slightly daring colour. I've been wearing it every time I want to feel a little more autumn-y so I suppose for right now, that would be my answer. Would you like to see a blogpost on it soon?

2. Favorite Fall Nail Polish?

Hmm, this is tough. Due to my job and my college course I'm actually not allowed to paint my nails which is such a shame but if I were allowed I'd definitely be going for a maroon-deep red colour or a dark purple such as Sinful Colors 'Let's Talk' or OPI's 'Bouquet of Violets'. Greens are also a Fall favourite and my favourite is Sinful Colors 'Kissy' I also like Sinful Colors 'Midnight Blue' during Autumn as it's really dark and lovely.

3. Favorite Starbucks Fall Drink?

Honestly, I'm not a big coffee fan and there's literally no Starbucks near to where I live. However, if I do pass a Starbucks soon I will be popping in to try the Pumpkin Spice Latte as everyone raves about it and I just want to try it. Ooh crazy. I do love a good seasonal hot chocolate from Costa though!

4. Favorite Fall Candle?

This is SO HARD!!!!!!(I will continue to complain about every question oops) But a few years ago I bought this huge 'Halloween' candle from Home Bargains and I have a lot left as it's so BIG! It isn't a brand so I can't let you know where to buy it or anything but it's lovely and definitely my favourite!

5. Favorite Fall accessory? 

Honestly, I barely wear necklaces, or jewelry in general but I do love a few rings, so I'd probably say them! 

6. Haunted house or haunted hay ride?

I WISH I KNEW! Here in Wales we don't have these, or at least not near where I live. I'm not sure about the greater UK but I've never been to one, except looked at the haunted house in Alton Towers. Looked at meaning I was too much of a wuss to actually ride it.

7. Favorite Halloween movie?

Oops, I did a whole blogpost on this, recently. Something I didn't mention in that post but is a favourite for Halloween would be American Horror Story. The new season is so cool, if slightly sick and twisted, but cool all the same. If you've never seen it I definitely recommend watching all the series, especially Season 1 and 5, which is the current season, Hotel. 

8. Favorite candy to eat on Halloween?

I literally live for toffee apples, they're so freaking nice. I love it when they do apples with chocolate, and other toppings. I just love the contrast between apple and toffee/chocolate. If you've never had one, 1-you've never lived and 2-GO OUT RIGHT NOW AND PURCHASE ONE THEN EAT IT!

9. What are you dressing up as for Halloween?

I'm tied between a hippy and a vampire, I think I'm swaying towards vampire though, every year I never dress really scary/creepy because I scare myself so I tend to just use it as an excuse to do fancy dress. I'm literally a wuss.

10. What is your Favorite thing about Fall?

HALLOWEEEEEEN! I love it so much, it is my second favourite holiday to Christmas. I love the dressing up, the decorations, the scariness, and the weather oddly enough. I also looooove Bonfire Night and I cannot wait for it! 

Well, that's all for today. Leave me your answers down below to these questions, I tag you all! Thanks for readinnnnnng, Al x 

Halloween 2015!

Helllllllo!
This year for Halloween I decided to be a vampire, I was going to be a hippy but I just thought may aswell go scary! Me and Courtney had a really fun night together.

Courtney always comes up with these out-of-the-box elaborate costume ideas for Halloween and this year was no exception.. She was a dead tennis player, fully equipped with a tennis ball boob!

I wore this really pretty dress, originally from ASOS but I got it from Asos on Amazon, I think it was roughly £15. I also wore this really cool vampire collar that I got from Smiffy's, again on Amazon. My striped stockings are again from amazon.

My lipstick is MAC Viva Glam III and my makeup is very (excuse the pun) vampy. The blood and cuts are all done with lipsticks, set with a transparent powder.

I curled my hair simply, then we back-combed it to the extreme and added a few tiny plaits to add texture. I think my hair looked very vampire-esc.

Worst picture EVER but I used contact lenses in my eyes, we had a hell of a time trying to put these in but got there in the end! These are White Out contacts from MesmerEyes on amazon, I really liked them and I had no problems keeping them in, I could see OK and they didn't feel too uncomfortable when they were in.

I'll leave you with ths picture of me and my brother Charlie who came in for a goodnight cuddle while we were getting ready. He was dressed as Frankenstein, the cutest Frankenstein ever!!!

Happy Halloween!! Al x

My favourite Halloween movies!

So, it's one day in to October and Alanna's already hype af.. But I can't help it, I love it so much! So in the hopes to get you all as excited as I am I thought I'd share with you some of my very favourite Halloween films! These are in no particular order and I love them all equally! 

I'm not too keen on the scary side of Halloween, I enjoy the creepiness and the freaky things but not the scary things or horrors. So most of these will be comedy or family genre movies! 

Hocus Pocus 

If you're looking for a qwerky yet cool Halloween costume, dressing as one of these witches would be so cool, my favourite is Sarah Jessica Parker's character. Also, Max is literally so attractive like woah.  

See what I mean? But for real, this film is so good, definitely worth a watch! 

The nightmare before Christmas 

This is a little different, it's a freaky musical movie. My dad doesn't like it too much because it's very weird thanks to it being by Tim burton, but I think it's so good. I love the songs and it's so artistic! 

All of the creepy characters are so cool and strange in their own way and this is definitely one of those films that makes you excited for Halloween, my favourite song is of course 'this is Halloween' Side note: this is perfect to watch when it gets closer to Halloween because it does have Christmas in it and right now that's the last thing I want to think about! 

Halloweentown

This is a Disney original movie, it's a little cringeworthy at times and probably is my least favourite from this list but either way, I love it and will definitely watch it a few times this October!! 

A simple wish

I'm not sure you can count this as a Halloween movie at all but all I remember is I used to watch it all the time when I was little and it had witches and magic and I just loved it, also it has cute little Matilda in it! It's a really funny movie and is definitely worth a watch! My favourite part is when Murray, the man in the photo, uses magic to give someone a frog in their throat, literally and they start vomiting frogs all over the stage. 

Edward scissorhands

I'm pretty sure every single human has watched this film, it's such a classic. Johnny Depp is so talented and can I say attractive? The scars make him look so much more attractive, oops. This film is quite upsetting, as well as I can remember. I cannot wait to re watch this in the run up to Halloween. 

Caspar

Apparently Caspar lee is more famous than this movie!! When I googled I could barely find it, go Caspar!! Anyway, this film is one of my absolute favourite movies of all time, never mind Halloween and I could watch it on repeat without being ever bored. EVER. 

I love all these films and I hope reading this post has got you all ready for Halloween! Leave me a comment to let me know what you want to go as for this Halloween!

Thanks for reading

Alanna
