Avoir un très chic Halloween... 

 

Here are just a few images that I think are chic Halloween ideas that will hopefully inspire some frightful but beautiful costumes! 

If I were to hold a Halloween soirée it would most defiantly be a mascarade. What better way to express my amour for all things Venetian. Which would only be complete with masks, lace, leather and feathers. 

Are you dressing up this Halloween? I would love to know what you are planning to be this year.

Get Up & Glow!

OSKIA's Get Up & Glow - £64.50

I have been using OSKIA's Get Up & Glow for just over 3 months now and let me tell you I can defiantly see results! I have never seen my skin so radiant and glowy (is that a word?) in my life. It is a really great product that I cannot gush about more... well actually I can, so here goes

First off I just want to say that it is a very very very nice product that leaves a kind of peralized effect on the skin. It is very sheer but just gives a very subtle glistening effect. It is after all a illuminating fluid but it's not one of those illuminating fluids that leaves your face looking like a disco ball and I can name a few of those. Instead it just gives your skin a lovely glow that will have people stopping you in the street and asking what your secret to your lovely skin is; trust me on this one it happens much more often then you think when you're wearing this product.

Secondly I love love love the smell, I could go on for days about how I feel like I am on cloud of scented roses every time I wear this, but alas that would make for a very tedious post. So I will just say that the scent is h-e-a-v-e-n-l-y. It is a mixture of roses and apples that is just divine.

You can also wear this product under a tinted moisturiser. I would recommend wearing an illuminating version as it seems to just bring out the glow and natural radiance of your skin much more when paired with Get Up & Glow. I wouldn't recommend wearing Get Up & Glow under a foundation, seeing as you might loose some of that lovely glow. Which is essentially what you are aiming for, but if you want a bit of coverage then I would say wear it under a tinted moisturiser as this is your best bet at having some coverage and not losing that radiance you get from wearing this product.

Although Get Up & Glow is priced at £64.50  and is considered, at least by my standards a luxury product (look up what £64.50 is equivalent in Canadian and you will see what I mean), it is a wonderful product that is an excellent splurge if you are looking for a bit of luxury for your skin.

OSKIA's Get Up & Glow is available at the official OSKIA website which I will post the link to here: http://www.oskiaskincare.com/products/GET-UP-GLOW/ and I strongly encourage you to look at the other absolutely wonderful products that OSKIA has to offer.

Get Up & Glow is also available from Zuneta here: http://www.zuneta.com/shop-by-brand/oskia/oskia-get-up-and-glow.html/

Eos Lip Sphere

eos lip sphere - $3.99 CAD

With my new discovery of the eos brand I have found myself totally smitten with the lip balm or lip sphere, as they call it. I think this product is just genius; instead of having the traditional lip balm in a little jar where you have to stick your fingers in it and potentially spread germs to your mouth (yucky on both accounts) the eos lip balm eliminates that germy factor with its spherical shape. Which that means you can use this just like a regular lip balm that comes in a tube.

There are six different flavors to choose from: summer fruit, lemon drop spf 15, strawberry sorbet, honeysuckle honeydew, medicated tangerine, and sweet mint. I am very tempted to collect them all especially as they come in a rainbow of coloured packaging and not to mention their yummy smells/tastes! That and the fact that eos lip spheres are 100% natural and 95% organic which makes them a smart if not healthy choice for your lips all season long. With all these great features whats not to love?

I purchased the summer fruit flavor and let me tell you my lips are rejoicing; especially as the season where you come in from the extreme cold to the extreme warmth of our houses or apartments sets in. As my lips seem to get more chapped in this Autumn and Winter weather.

It helps that this little miracle worker for your lips is chock full with antioxidant-rich vitamin E, shea butter and jojoba oil that will be sure to keep your lips nourished, soft and sensationally smooth all season long. Let me tell you this is a good thing as Canadian winters stretch on in what seems like forever sometimes.

The texture is amazing and seems to glide onto my lips. It isn't as gooey or sticky as some other lip balms, but delivers just the right amount of moisture in order to sooth and keep my lips in tip top condition, and at a budget friendly price everyone can afford a bit of eos magic for their lips this season!
