Autumn/Fall Nail Polish Picks
I’m one of those people that likes to changed up what colours I wear on my nails and lips for that matter depending on the season. When it comes to autumn/winter I swap out my baby pinks, blues and coral nail polishes for reds, greys and purples. These are the five I’m going to be wearing the most this season.
Collection Lasting Gel Colour – Stormy Grey 11
Although I prefer wearing darker shades in the Autumn, I do like me a nude colour. This one is a light brown nude, that looks very sophisticated and classy. These gel collection ones are amazing, the formula is so shiny and they last a good 5 days without chipping.
Barry M Nail Paint – 293 Grey
The Barry M nail paints are one of my favourite nail polish brands. All the shades I have are really opaque and only need one coat, they look so glossy too. The shade grey is an amazing autumn colour, and I wear it a lot at this time of year.
Bourjois Very Vernis – Cerise Noire 36
This is my all time favourite and most worn Autumn shade so far. It’s the most perfect burgundy shade, and I’ve never owned a colour like it before. I’ve worn it for up to a week before I need to take it off and to me it just screams autumn!
Maybeline Express Finish – Charming Cobait 637
This is the prettiest dark purpley blue colour with subtle glitter in it. I can just imagine wearing this to a Christmas party or something really festive. These nail polishes also dry insanely quick, which is handy if you’re in a rush.
Avon Nailwear Pro+ – Real Red
You can’t beat a classic red nail in autumn and this shade by Avon is the best red I’ve tried. It’s a true, deep red with a shiny finish. You really can’t go wrong!
What are your favourite Autumn/Winter nail polishes?
September Favourites
So the dreaded back to school month has come to an end, and we’re now into October, one of my favourite months! These are the products I loved throughout September.
Beauty Favourites
Bourjois Chocolate Bronzer
I’ve had this for a while now, and before September I’d only used it a dozen or so times. I didn’t know if it was just my product, but I felt as though my brush wasn’t picking up enough product, there’s a natural bronzer and then there’s no product at all being put on your skin! So after trying to get this product to work over a whole week and failing, I decided to just out it in one of my drawers. That was until the beginning of last month when I found if and decided to scrape the top layer of product off. Long story short, this now works beautifully, still very natural but stunning for the winter months. Oh, and the smell isn’t bad either!
Tangle Teazer
I don’t know how I would have coped without this little savior last month. My hair has been going through a really dry and knotty stage, meaning it’s a nightmare to brush, especially after washing. This brush makes it so much easier than a regular brush, there’s no tugging or pulling and it leaves my hair feeling a lot smoother.
Maybeline Fit Me Powder
I have no idea what has happened, but my skin, after years and years of being dry, has decided to get oily. You may think I’m bonkers but I’m so happy! Obviously only a little bit of oil, I don’t want to have to powder every other minute, but having more oil to my skin than before means my make up is applying a lot smoother which is great. To control my new found oily skin, I’ve been using a powder I’ve had for a while, the Maybeline Fit Me. It’s not at all cakey, and takes away any excess shine that I don’t want.
Mac Hello Kitty Kabuki Brush
I’ve been using this cute little kabuki brush with the powder, and I love it! It’s big enough so that it covers your whole face in two sweeps, and it’s extremely soft. This is a fake item which i was aware of but the quality is still amazing. It also comes in the cutest little zip up pouch, making it perfect to put in your handbag.
Calvin Klein Lipstick in Dangerous
If you’ve seen my recent Autumn lip picks post, you’ll know that I included this lipstick in it and said how much I love it for this time of year. As September meant the start of Autumn, I was finally able to start wearing this lipstick again without getting strange looks, which makes me so so happy!
Random Favourites
Tesco Winter Spice Candle
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE candles, so much so that I can get though them within a week. With my favourite Yankee ones being over £10 a jar, it gets expensive. So whilst in Tesco a few weeks ago I wandered down the candle isle and seen their own range of candles. They all smelt absolutely amazing and were only £2.99! With winter approaching I decided to get winter spice, which smells like cinnamon and apples. (mmmmm!) Unlike most cheaper candles, these ones actually smell nice once lit too and linger around your room. Thanks Tesco!
Argos/Getting A Job
Yes I finally got myself a part time job! Technically I officially started on the first of October but I went for my interview and everything in September so I thought I’d include it in this post. I’ve been trying to find a weekend job since I turned 16, with little luck. A few weeks ago however I got invited for an interview for a Christmas job at Argos and I got it! So far everyone is really nice, and I couldn’t be happier.
Fleur De Force
My favourite YouTuber this month is one of the first people I ever started watching on YouTube. I’ve watched Fleurs videos for years, but lately I’ve been really loving them and especially her vlogs since she got her adorable new puppy. She’s just started doing Vlogtober on her vlogging channel here, which excites me very much!
What have you loved this month?
The Lipstick Tag
I’ve seen this tag floating around so seeing as I love my lipsticks and didn’t have anything else to blog about today I thought I’d give it a go.
1. How many lipsticks do you own?
Not including any lip glosses, stains, butters or liquid lipsticks I have 20 traditional lipsticks.
2. What was the first lipstick you owned?
This is a tricky question. After looking through my collection and thinking hard I think the first lipstick I bought (that I still own) is an extremely old Maybeline one in the shade clear diamonds. It’s essentially a clear lipstick with a tiny bit of sparkle.
3. What is your favourite lipstick brand?
Although I currently only have 2 I’m going to have to say Mac, they just apply beautifully and come in the widest range of colours.
4. What is your most worn lipstick?
Lately it’s been creme cup by mac but if we’re going with long term then it’s going to have to be Calvin Klein Dangerous, it’s a dark berry shade and I wore it almost every day last year.
5. What is your favourite finish?
Although I love the look of matte lipsticks they tend to cling to the dry patches on my lips and require a lot of maintenance. So I’m going to say creme sheens as they are extremely hydrating and looking beautiful on.
6. What was the last lipstick you bought?
The last lipstick I bought was Mac’s Creme Cup and I haven’t used anything else on my lips since. AMAZING!
7. How many lip products do you currently have in your bag?
This question is made for me as I constantly have a collection of different lip products at the bottom of my bag! After digging through I found 3 products, which is actually quite reasonable for me. There’s a Rimmel Apoclips in Luna, a random H&M lipgloss which is actually really pretty and Carmex which is always in my bag for emergencies.
8. What is your favourite red lip colour?
I actually only own one red lipsticks as I feel like they don’t suit me as much as other colours, the one I do own however is a Avon lipstick in the colour red. This is a stereotypical blue toned red with a creamy finish and lasts all day!
9. How do you store your lipsticks?
I store my lipsticks in acrylic storage I got from muji which sits in my dressing room, I’m yet to fill the whole container which is just an excuse for me to buy more…
10. Which lipsticks are you currently lusting after?
This answer could go on forever but I’ll just give you a list of 3 Mac lipsticks that are going to be my next purchases. First is Rebel, I’ve been wanting to try this lipstick out for ages now so it’s definitely going to be my next purchase. Pink Plaid , this is the perfect pink lipstick which I think would suit anyone! Lastly I really want to go out of my comfort zone and try Morange .
