Henna Tattoo Application

Hi all,
A few months back I took a little road trip to Letterkenny to visit the fabulous Michelle at Henna Tattoo Letterkenny, after seeing her amazing work all over Facebook and Instagram I decided that I needed a Henna Tattoo myself. For a while now I have had a wee obsession with feathers, dream catchers and Mandala type designs, going as far as planning a brand new tattoo for early next year. And what better way to trial run the area I wanted tattooed than with a semi-permanent Henna design.

Upon arrival I was greeted by the beautiful Michelle, (well I managed to get myself lost and she was out looking out for me arriving lol) , she was super welcoming and so friendly.
I had been chatting to her over Instagram for a week or so before hand sharing ideas of designs that I wanted, and let me tell you she did not disappoint. She was very knowledgeable about all of the Henna ingredients/side effects and any allergic reactions that it may cause, which made me feel so comfortable in knowing that Michelle knew exactly what she was doing.

I chose to have the Black Henna paste applied to my inner forearm , which when dried and set it turned a pretty lighter shade of brown. (There is a choice of colours, I believe its Black, Brown and White) there could be more, which I will check out for you folks.

From start to finish the Design took about 20 min, and around 1 Hr to properly set, when drying the paste becomes hard and the design peels away on its own, leaving behind the design of choice. My design lasted just under 2 weeks and that was with normal showering/bath routine included.

I definitely highly recommend Michelle for any of you that are looking for a gorgeous semi permanent Tattoo. And for any of you beauties that are looking to contact her I will link all of her social media sites below, so you can go check out her stunning work for yourselves.

As much as I love Summer I am just soooo glad to see the back of it, don't get me wrong I love a wee evening chilling out in the sun with a wee glass of wine, but I love Autumn that whole much more. Not only because we get to wrap up a bit more in gorgeous pre winter fashion , we also get to rock the vamp/dark lips that has been seen adorn all the fashion runways of late,and no-one can rock a dark lip better than the sultry vixen herself miss Dita Von Teese, this look just ticks all the boxes when it comes to getting that Autumn runway 2015 look, from the berry coloured lips to the winged liner she is bang on trend.

We all love to put our own wee spin on make-up looks though as some of us aren't lucky enough to have a make-up artist on beacon call, as much as we would all love it. So here I have done my own wee cheap version of the dark lip/winged liner catwalk look for a quarter of the price. For this look I have used Sleek's Matte Me lip stain in the shade Fandango -£4.99 liquid black eyeliner from Primark - £1.00, black khol pencil from primark £1.00 to line the waterline . Foundation is Revlon colourstay in shade Natural Beige £12.99 from Boots, slight contour with MUA in shade 3 £1.00 from Superdrug. Baked Highligher shade RoseGold £1.00 in Savers. For brows I used Fm Cosmetics Brow Palette from Fm Cosmetics £8.99. Black Mascara from Primark £1.00. Guys as you can see none of these products were expensive ,so even on a budget this look is quite easy to put your own stamp on.

Choosing one staple lip colour for Autumn is so difficult though as there is just so many shades to choose from , so here is a few i have choose as my Top favourites ranging from highend to budget buy and can i just say that even i struggle to tell the difference in some of these shade as they are so similar....

HIGHEND OPTIONS

BUDGET BUYS

When trying to choose perfect shades I was spoilt for choice, there was soooo many to choose from but these are the few that I managed to whittle down to be in my best buys for Autumn , some of them were absolute steals for as low as £1.00!! I mean who could moan at that price, really???
I know that some of us may not feel so adventurous when it comes to trying out new shades of lipsticks, especially when some are as dark as your soul, but fear not I have you guys covered. here I have chose a few tinted lip balms ranging in price again, granted they will not have the same look as the lipsticks when applied but it still will give you that subtle little bit of colour without going over
board.                                          
                                                          TINTED LIP BALM'S

I have seen so many of the beauties Rocking this new trend on social media, mainly Instagram over the past week, it seems to be so hard to choose which look I liked the best but, when it comes to the crunch no-one and I mean no-one can rock it better than these three stunners.

 I follow these ladies religiously on all of their social media sites, but I will link their Instagram pages down below for you all to check them out.
