Did you know Manchester is the wettest city in the UK? Kind of hard to dispute that one isn't it? 

So, while we wait for the weather to catch up on the idea of spring/summer, layers are a girl's best friend. We've styled t-shirts and button downs under our favourite summer dresses to keep out the chill until we can rock these dresses in all their sleeveless glory.

 HOLOGRAPHIC UNICORNS. THANK YOU TALLULAH'S THREADS. NUFF' SAID.

Head to our website thunderegg.co.uk or pop into one of our Manchester stores on Oldham Street or Afflecks Palace to shop the lookbook and to check out what else is going on here at Thunder Egg.

Have a good week!

Eggs Do Halloween!

The Thunder Egg staff celebrated Halloween a whole 6 days early at the awesome Pop Bubble Shock by Pop Bubble Rock! PBR is an amazing club night in Manchester, playing pop punk, party hip hop and showering people in confetti. Perfect for a Halloween special!

HERE is a little tutorial of how we did our (super sparkly) sugar skull faces for the night!

Here's the blank face before you begin:

STEP 1:

Remove those eyebrows! We used foundation or concealer and powder to make our eyebrows as neutral as possible. We then added a base layer of white face paint, leaving some skin showing on the cheekbones and around the eye sockets.

STEP 2:

Blend a line of dark eye shadow or powder along just under the cheekbones (where your gaps in white are) and around the top of the head. We just used our fingers to blend.

STEP 3:

Draw a circle round the eye socket using coloured kohl pencil. Follow the eyebrow around the top and then continue this line round the socket. It doesn't have to be super neat because we're going to cover it up with GEMS! Fill this in with an eye shadow of your choosing - maybe one to match your outfit? If you like, now is a good time to add liquid eyeliner to your lids and glitter around the eyes. But do make sure the whole circle is coloured in!

STEP 4:

GEMS! Use eyelash glue (the clear stuff in a little bottle is best) to stick gems on the kohl pencil line - all sizes, shapes and colours are good! We even decorated other parts of our face, such as our foreheads, with them. Just make sure the kohl pencil circle is covered. Don't forget to stick some false eyelashes on after the gems if you like!

STEP 5:

Draw a shape similar to an upside down loveheart on your nose, covering the bottom part (where your nostrils are). We used kohl pencil or liquid eyeliner for this - liquid eyeliner is probably darkest.

STEP 6:

The final step! Lips. There are a couple of options here - you could paint white over your lips and smudge some lipstick into it and paint the black lines over that OR you could do normal lipstick and have the black lines just coming out of the sides.

And you're done! We accessorized with flowers, bows and sparkles. Here's a pic of our finished outfits!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Will you be trying the sugar skulls costume? Tag us in a snap if you do- and remember to tag us on Facebook or Instagram if you also wear any Thunder Egg purchases this Halloween!
