Favourite Fall Lip Colours

Hello Everyone!

So I know it has already been autumn for a while now but here in the UK the weather has only just started to get chilly which is good news becuase fall is my favourite time of the year. I know its really cliché but my favourite thing about autumn is that when the leaves start changing colour and the oversized woolly cardigans and jumpers are out and most of all I get to wear my onsie! 

Another thing I love about the autumn is that I can wear my darker berry shaded lipsticks and lip glosses. So today I thought I would share with you some of my favourite fall lip shades. I will also be doing a post on my favourite fall nail varnishes so check back for that.

L'Oreal Paris Glam Shine Balmy Gloss ~ 

So first off is the L'Oreal Paris Glam Shine in the shade  'Dare The Dragon Fruit'  (which I must say is an amazing name for a lip colour). I absolutely love this shade becuase it is very subtle and elegant but is still a really nice dark berry colour. I also really like the slight shimmer in this shade as it just gives it that extra bit of glam.

MUA Power Pout Colour Intense Tint & Balm ~ 

Next is 'Crazy In Love' from MUA's Power Pout collection. This is pretty similar in the last one regarding application and texture, however it is a very different shade as it is a much deeper red/pink tone and isn't shimmery. I like this one for an everyday lip colour in the autumn as it is not to dark but is still bold. 

MUA Intense Kisses High Intensity Gloss ~ 

I don't usually go for lip glosses, especially in autumn winter time when the wind is blowing becuase we all know what happens when the wind blows your hair in you face, which then gets stuck to your lip gloss, leaving you standing there trying to rid your face of your tangled, lip gloss filled hair! However, I have taken to this gloss as it is not sticky and it also glides on very nicely. I love the colour as it is so bold and vibrant. Not bad for drug store product! I Bought this in shade 'Stolen Kisses'  which I also love the name of.

Revlon Renewist ~ 

I bought this out of the pound shop a few months back as I didn't really have many dark lip colours at the time. I bought it in the shade 'Radiant Ruby ~ 180' along with 2 other similar shades. It goes on very easily and the colour is very bold, however the colour doesn't last very long which is slightly disappointing so I have to re- apply it throughout the day. 

What is your favourite lip product/shade to wear in autumn?

October Favourites

Hello Everyone!

These are just a few of the things i've been loving this month!

W7 In The Buff Eye Colour Palette ~ 
My sister bought me this palette for my birthday in September and since then I haven't stopped using it, All of the colours in the palette are natural beige and browns with a little bit of shimmer. If you would like to see some swatches then my sister has done a full review over on her blog Laura's All Made Up

MUA Intense Kisses 'Stolen Kisses' ~
I have been loving this colour recently as I love the deep berry colours in the autumn. I don't usually go for lip glosses but this one isn't sticky and has a really bold colour and lasts throughout the day.

Rimmel Stay Matte Face Powder ~ 
I have been using this for months now, it is honestly the best powder i have ever bought and its cheap too, there's not a day that I don't find myself reaching for this as it sets my make-up really well.

Lady Gaga Perfume ~ 
This was also bought for me for my birthday. I have been wearing this none stop for the past month as you can probably see, i've used pretty much all of it.

NYC Nail Varnish 'Manhattan' ~ 

This is another fall favourite as it is a deep berry purple colour, I can't wear it at school though which is slightly annoying as we are only allowed to wear natural coloured nail varnish.

American Horror Story Season 1, 2 & 3~
This is a slightly random one but a few weeks ago one of my friends introduced me to American Horror Story,which at first I was a little sceptical about watching as it included the word 'horror' and as you should all probably know by now that I am a massive wimp and hate anything scary. However, I decided to give it ago and watch the first episode on Netflix and to my surprise I really enjoyed it. I then couldn't stop watching it and within a week I had watched all 3 seasons which consisted of 38 episodes altogether. It is rated 18 but it isn't really too scary, however I wouldn't recommend anyone under 15 to watch it.

What were your favourite things in October?

I heart fall tag

1) Favourite fall lip product?
My favourite fall lip product has to be the MUA Intense Kisses lip gloss in the shade 'Stolen Kisses'. I just love deep berry reds and purples in the fall. I will also be doing a post soon on my other favourite fall lip colours so check back to see that.

2) Favourite fall nail varnish?
My favourite fall nail varnish is from NYC's collection in the shade 248 'Manhattan' Again it is becuase it is a very deep purple colour which really gets me in the mood for fall. However I can only wear this shade when i'm not at school as we are only allowed to wear neutral shades which is rather annoying.

3) Favourite Starbucks fall drink?
To be honest I don't really have a favourite fall drinks from Starbucks in particular ( I know you're probably judging me right now) however, I do just like a plain hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows, or a mocha.

4) Favourite fall candle/scent?
I haven't actually got any fall candles at the moment, however I have been looking in the shops and my favourite scent by far has to be candy apples even though I don't like eating candy apples the candles smell amazing. Also toasted marshmallow scented candles smell really nice.

5) Favourite fall accessory? 
My favourite fall accessory has to be either a big fluffy scarf or an extremely oversized woolly jumper or cardigan. I just love being able to wrap up warm with a cup of tea or hot chocolate in autumn.

6) Haunted house, haunted hay ride or haunted maze?
Usually i'd say none of them as I hate anything scary, however the haunted maze sounds like it could be fun.

7) Favourite Halloween movie?
As I said previously im a big wimp when it comes to horror, therefore you won't usually catch me watching anything rated higher than a PG around Halloween. Some of my favourite films to watch on Halloween are Casper, Coraline, Sleepy Hollow and Warm Bodies. I know, I know i'm a big kid but I don't care.

8) Favourite candy to eat on Halloween?
Everything! I will pretty much eat any sweets or chocolate at any time of the year so nothing changes around Halloween. However, the one thing I don't like is candy/toffee apples. As much as I want to like them i'm just not too keen on apples haha.

9) What are you dressing up as for Halloween?
'I'm not dressing up this year and I haven;t done for the past 5/6 years as I usually just tend to paint my nails with a spooky design or just paint my face as I love experimenting with face paints and special effects make-up. However, if I was to dress up this year I would either go as a zombie (original I know) or as a movie character of some sort.

10) What is your favourite thing about fall?
Prepare for the ultimate cliché... My favourite thing about fall is the leaves changing colour, purely becuase I hate the colour green, being able to wear my big fluffy cardigan and jumpers and just wrapping up warm in my onsie with a hot chocolate and a film.

So that is why I love fall, I now tag:

Halloween | Nail Art Ideas

Hello Everyone!

So today I thought I would share with you some Halloween nail art designs as it is only a few days until Halloween. Although I don't really do anything for Halloween such as dressing up, I still love painting my nails with a fun spooky design. I know these aren't the neatest or most perfect designs but you see what I was aiming for. I think these designs would be great if you were going to a Halloween party or just if you feel like painting your nails. I really like the pumpkin design and the purple and orange Frankenstein French tip design as they are  really simple and easy to do yet still really fun and effective.

What are you doing for Halloween this year ? Have you done any spooky nail art designs?
