The Autumn Tag

Wow you guys must be feeling lucky today! Two posts in one day!

As we're coming up to mid November I thought I'd do this Autumn Tag post. 

1.  Ok we're talking coffee's - what's your favourite seasonal drink from Starbucks/Costa/Cafe Nero etc?

I don't actually go to Starbucks/Costa/Cafe Nero that often to be honest! However, when I have been to Starbucks I usually go for a Caramel Macchiato. I love this drink and I'm pretty sure this is the only one I order from Starbucks, apart from a boring Mocha!

2.  Accessories - what do you opt for, scarf, boots, gloves?

I'm a scarf and boots girl. I don't really wear gloves, I know I should being as it's getting colder and it will ruin my hands but I only wear scarves when I go sledging or I'm going out for a walk. I won't wear them if I'm literally popping out for 5 minutes.

3.  Music - what's your favourite music to listen to during Autumn?

The only time I really change my music is at christmas, I like listening to christmas songs when it comes to December

4.  Perfume - what's your favourite scent for this time of year?

I really don't change my perfume that often, but right now I'm really loving Paco Robanne's Lady Million. I carry a sample bottle in my handbag that's a perfect little size just to top myself up.

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

I normally stock up on Yankee Candles this time of year I love the Christmas collections that they bring out. I like the cinnamon scented ones normally and the christmas memories candles too.  Looking at the collection this year there is a Christmas Cookie candle which I really want to try out, as a sweet tooth girl I'm really looking forward to that one!

6.  What do you love most about Autumn?

I love the darker nights as it means cosy nights in with my boyfriend watching films. I love the food around this time of year too; stews and casseroles just make me feel so festive and it helps with the lead up to christmas!

7.  Favourite makeup look?

Right now I've been loving thin eyeliner and bold dark berry lips. I also use more bronze eye shadows this time of year, it brings out the autumnal look and bronze colours makes my eyes look even more blue.

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

Seeing as Autumn is almost over I think I'll do a 'what did you most enjoy about Autumn?' I've really enjoyed being able to put my wellies on and go for walks through the woods round by my house. I like being able to kick through the leaves and watch them fall. I've also enjoyed having nights in with my boyfriend, having the fire on and watching our favourite shows.

Keep those lips kissable!

Hello Everyone!

So today I'm going to talk about our lips! Now that the summer months are far gone its time we started looking after our lips. With the cold months upon us it's important to keep our lips moisturised - because who wants dry, chapped lips and more importantly who on earth wants to kiss those lips? Lets avoid nasty looking lips and get them soft, smooth and kissable!

These are the lip balms and scrub that I'm currently using and they are all a staple in my handbags!

This is the Bubblegum Lip Scrub from Lush which you can buy here for £5.50

It's so pretty and pink and smells amazing I literally can not explain how amazing it smells. It's fantastic for your lips. You only need a tiny little bit on your finger and then you literally scrub it on your lips. It makes them so smooth and tastes amazing too! I'm having to stop myself from eating the whole pot!*

Next up should be a staple in every girls handbag. Vaseline Petroleum Jelly Lip Therapy tin. You can buy this from boots/superdrug/bodycare and they're relatively cheap.

I love using these on my lips, this is the aloe vera tin. It soothes dry skin and lips, so it's perfect for moisturising those chapped lips and your skin.

This is the Nivea Pearly Shine Lip Balm. Again you can buy these from most drugstores and is relatively a cheap item. I love using this as a lip balm as its got a slight pink tint which is great as I like having a bit of colour on my lips, and having a lip balm and faint tint in one is great!

Now the two balms above I'm going to talk about together as they do pretty much the same thing. Except the balm at the top is a soothe and protect balm which does exactly what it says on the packaging. So it's another one to help with those troublesome chapped lips! The second balm is the basic Nivea lip balm which I usually put on when I start doing my make up to keep them moisturised. 

I hope this gives you girls some ideas on what to have in your handbag to keep you prepared for the cold weather!

*Please take note that if you have cold sores or any abrasions on your lips you shouldn't use the lip scrub it as it will sting and potentially spread the cold sores. 

Autumn looks

Hello everyone!

So it's that time of the year again, definitely one of my favourite seasons for clothing!

I love being able to wear pretty dresses with thick tights on, digging out my  boots from the bottom of my wardrobe and getting all snuggled up by the fire on nights.

Here is part of my autumn wardrobe this year!

*All photos were taken on my iPhone and the camera is not that great so apologies for the terrible quality of photos!

                                     

 

  

As a quick p.s I buy the majority of my clothes from New Look! :)
