Cheap halloween/fancy dress costume for two!!

So for a friends birthday party myself and a friend decided that we didn't want to spend any money on anything that we were not going to wear again (such cheap students). So we got thinking and decided we could easily make a Wayne's World costume! For those of you who haven't seen any of the movies I advise you to go and see them, they are too funny!

For this costume ideally you need a blonde and a brunette (if you don't want to invest in any wigs). 

WAYNE: For this costume the brunette will need to wear denim jeans, preferably ripped, converse and a black T-shirt.. all of which you can find in your average wardrobe (As I didn't have a plain black T-shirt I just turned one inside out). To complete the look you need to buy a Wayne's world hat which you can get off of eBay for cheap. Unfortunately this was a last minute costume choice so my friend lent me a plain black one and I painted the logo onto the hat with white paint which you can also do.

GARTH: For this costume the blonde will need to back comb their hair to create a big messy look, a plaid shirt on top of a logo or band tee, along with denim jeans (ripped preferably) and converse. To complete this look they will need to grab a pair of black 'nerd' glasses (3D cinema glasses with the lenses popped out will do the job!).

Here is what our outfits looked like... 

and in the end we spent a total of 0 pence on our costume.. totally worth it!

Quick 'bad skin day' fix

The best thing I have picked up over the years of being a teenage girl with occasional break outs is SUDOCREAM!! It works wonders. If you're having a "I can't leave the house looking like this" day or even sometimes week, then apply a layer of sudocream onto your face or problem areas. Sometimes I sleep with it on if I have no time during the day. It relieves redness and dryness all while helping clear your skin. I strongly advise it! 

Another tip! If you have no time to apply a sudacream face pack then before applying concealer and foundation apply a small amount of green eyeshadow onto the red areas and/or spots. This helps hid the redness! No one will ever know!

Nail art for short nails

If I paint my nails when they are this length I feel like it highlights the fact that they are short, so I have come up with a nail art idea which prevents them from looking stumpy.

To start you should paint you nails with a base coat of some sort. I usually use a nail strengthener and a base coat but it really depends on your own preference. Then I used a nail art brush, which I got off eBay cheaply along with a red revlon nail polish (shade 620 bewitching). It is better to practice before you apply the base coat to avoid mistakes when painting on the hearts. What I did was draw a "V" and soften and round the points.

The finished look:
