Happy Halloween - The Walking Dead Goes to Kindergarten

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Halloween wraps fear in innocence,

As though it were a slightly sour sweet.

Let terror, then, be turned into a treat...

POKEMON? Simple Eye Look & MAC Force of Love Lipstick

"Health is not valued till sickness comes." - Thomas Fuller

A very fitting quote for my current state of mind, if you follow me on twitter you have probably fell victim to one of my whining tweets about the hideous virus I was hit with early last week. I ended up needing a week off work and got in plenty of bed rest, warm drinks, pinterest, daytime tv (rubbish) and some very serious Pokemon playing <gotta catch them all>.

Needless to say I spent the whole time with unwashed hair in a dirty top knot wearing holey pj's and no makeup dodging mirrors at all costs. 

So on Saturday night I was feeling a tad better and decided to break out the lipstick and make myself feel pretty again. You might have already seen this look in my Failed FOTN post - link - (pretty hilarious if I do say so myself) in response to that post I had a number of questions on the products I was wearing so I salvaged a few decent pictures and will share them with you now.

Que bad lighting....

Attempted FOTN.....

I dedicate this post to all those amazing beauty bloggers out there that manage to take such freaking amazing photograph's of themselves. 

Tonight I was sitting around in my pyjamas feeling quite sorry for myself - it's going on a WEEK now I've had this horrible virus and haven't managed to leave bed - I'm convinced it's some new strain of the bubonic plague.... 

Anyway so yes sitting in my pj's..... 

I thought I might feel a little better if I played with some makeup and found myself quite happy with what I put together so I whip out my camera to take some pics for the blog, after all that's what a real beauty blogger would do right?

Well it turns out I am ridiculously hopeless at photographing my own face, or posing for photographs of my own face and ended up with a bunch of hilarious and funny snaps. FAIL.

So now I have to ask HOW DO YOU DO IT? If there are any little tips or tricks, techniques etc please help a pretend beauty blogger out and comment below. If not i'm afraid you will be forever exposed to pics like these.....
