The Autumn Tag 2014

 

Yay! Autumn is here which means I can start getting warm and cozy with a big cup of hot chocolate every night until christmas! Autumn is one of my favourite times of the year and I thought why not write a tag post on it! So here you go, my autumn tag...

1. Coffee's - What's your favourite seasonal drink from Starbucks, Costa, Cafe Nero etc?

I'm ashamed to say, I don't actually like coffee. It's just not my kind of drink I guess! But if I had to pick my favourite autumn drink in general it would probably be the Starbucks caramel frappuccino (cream based, obviously)!

2. Accessories - What do you opt for? Scarves, gloves, boots?

I love accessorising in Autumn since there's so much you can do! I normally go for beanie hats, boots and scarves (or snoods)! I love using these 3 accessories as they are all so versatile and can be worn together or separately!

3. Music - Whats your favourite music to listen to in Autumn?

I generally listen to the same kind of music as normal however near the end of the season I will start getting those Christmas tunes out.

4. Perfume - Whats your favourite scent this time of year?

I love Chanel Coco Noir for this time of year as it has a very autumnal/wintery smell. I don't even know how to describe it, it just seems to work!

5. Candles - What scents will you be burning this season?

I am definitely going to be burning my Yankee candles in the scents Fireside Treats, Merry Marshmallow and Salted Caramel. I think I might get a large jar of the Fireside Treats this year since I used so many votive's last year!

6. What do you love most about Autumn?

You guys are probably bored of this by now since I am always saying that I love getting cozy! But if I was to list some things I would say...

• Blankets
• Candles
• Crunchy leaves
• Hot chocolate
• Halloween
• Warm colours
• Fresh, cold air

 

         7. Favourite makeup look?

 I love to use warm berry tones on my lips and a simple brown eye shadow with small winged eye liner. I think its a really cute autumn look and is definitely one you can wear with any autumn clothes!

8. What are you most looking forward to in autumn?

Halloween! I love getting dressed up to go out and deciding what to be but other then that probably just relaxing and staying in really!

The easiest eye makeup ever!

Although I have a passion for makeup, I cant always be bothered to spend ages doing it. Especially if its 7am on a Monday -_- So its on these sorts of days I like to whip out my three trusty products and get out the door looking as fabulous as ever!

The maybelline colour tattoo retails at £4.99 which is a bargain considering how great it is. For this easy eye makeup I use my ring finger to lightly dab in the pot then simply swipe it on my eyelid. If I need to I will blend the edges a bit with a fluffy eye brush but other then that I am done with the eyeshadow!

Then I use my eyelash curlers and put a few coats of mascara on. And voilà you're done!

Its such a pretty look and it literally takes about 2 minutes to do! Definitely one to remember!

Everyday Makeup

 Compared to some people I think I have a pretty basic make-up routine but I want to share it with you anyway so here it is, my everyday make-up routine! All the products in the pictures will be linked at the bottom of the post.

The main products I use

 I don't normally bother with primer as I just don't have the time in the morning to faff about so I go straight in with my foundation and expert face brush. Once I've blended my foundation in I use a bit of concealer on any blemishes and under my eyes then use the same brush to just blend it all in. I then use my buffing brush to dust on any oily parts of my face with my matte face powder.

I think these need a clean...

 Once what I like to call my "base"is finished I go in with my blush brush and sweep some bronzer in the hallows of my cheeks, around my temples, down my neck and on the sides of my nose. Then I just blend, blend, blend! I then get a dab of my cream blush on my finger and sweep it on the apples of my cheeks then use my buffing brush to blend it in.

I got this in TK Maxx for £2.99! Bargain!

If I have a bit of time I will put some eyeshadow on my eyes and then curl my lashes. If not I will go straight in with the mascara and do a few coats of that on each eye. If I can see that its going to be a miserable day I will also put some water proof mascara on. I then use my eyebrow brush to tame the caterpillars over my eyes and then I will shape and fill them with my brow pencil. To make it look a bit more natural I will brush over them once more and I am done!

So thats my makeup routine! Of course sometimes I will mix it up a bit but thats normally how it goes. Let me know what other posts you want to see and links for products in pictures are below!

Highstreet autumn lipsticks

Autumn has to be one of my favourite times a year! I love everything about it, the big snuggly jumpers, hot soup on cold days and the warm berry colours that start to be seen everywhere. Thats why I had to do a autumn lipsticks post since I just love them so much and need to share it with you!

From left to right, No 7, Rimmel London, Topshop Lips, Rimmel London and Revlon

All of the lipsticks in this post are, in my opinion, very affordable and even better, they are all great quality!

No. 7 Moisture drench in shade 25 Highland Mist £9.95

This shade is a nice shimmery number and is probably one of my all time favourite lipsticks! Its one of the few lippy's that does exactly what it says as it is very moisturising, plus you only need a few top ups for it to last all day. The colour is a pale browny beige with lots of little bits of gold shimmer in, so it definitely gets me in the festive spirit *is it too early for that?!*

Rimmel London Moisture Renew in shade 360 As You Want Victoria £6.49

This lipstick is a lot brighter then the previous one and has quite a pink undertone however I still think that it is perfect for autumn. I only use a little bit of this shade as it does come off very strong but I still love wearing it as its just such a pretty pink colour!

Topshop Lipstick in shade Beguiled £8.00

The name of this always makes me feel very much in the mood for Halloween! I'm not sure why but perhaps its because I can just imagine a witch casting a spell and throwing the word beguiled in there? Anyway, this shade is a gorgeous dark plum coloured lipstick and looks amazing with a more glamorous autumn/winter look. Not be vain but I think it goes with my dark brown hair very well!

Rimmel London Kate Moss in shade 107 £5.49

This lipstick is quite similar to the previous one however it has more of a red undertone rather then the plum undertone that Beguiled has. Its also much more matte *sneaky alliteration there* then the other one. If I'm feeling brave I will wear this colour out and about in town or shopping with my friends however I think its probably more of a night time shade.

Revlon Colourburst in shade 205 Elusive £7.99

Final colour! The Revlon colour bursts are actually lip crayons but I'm including it anyway. This is definitely my go to lipstick as its such a pretty shade and its quite neutral so I feel much more confident in wearing it! And the packaging means its so easy to apply then just chuck in your bag and go.

Swatches in order of appearance.
