Autumn makeup products I use

Hello everybody so I wanted to share with you my favourite products I use for autumn makeup looks.

Face
Everyday before applying a foundation I normally moisturize my skin as I tend to not prime my skin with a primer much anymore.

For my foundation I normally use a bb cream such as the Maybelline dream fresh bb as I like a lighter coverage but if I feel I need full coverage I will use my mac studio fix in the shade nw22.

Normally I use concealer under my eyes so if I am having a bb cream day I will use rimmel wake me up but if I chose to use my mac studio fix I will wear mac pro long wear concealer in the shade nw20.

I have to use powder everyday as my skin gets very oily so I normally use my mac studio fix powder but sometimes its to much with my mac foundation and concealer as they are all so full coverage. So then I will use rimmel stay matte or Maybelline matte maker.

Eyes and Eyebrows
For my eyebrows I have been using two shades from the naked 2 basics palette the shades are cover and primal mixed to create my brow shade. I also use the rimmel 002 hazel eyebrow pencil to brush my brows through and to fill in any bits I missed.

As for eyeshadow I use various palettes and products but there is one eye look I have been wearing everyday lately so I will share that with you. So I start by applying seventeen metallic cream eyeshadow all over my lid. Then I apply nyx cream eyeshadow stick in almond all over my lid then add glitter with nyx walnut glitter roll on eyeshadow.

My favourite mascara lately has been mac studio sculpt mascara as I love the wand and formula of the mascara.

For eyeliner I love the black stila smudge crayon this is so easy to smudge to create the messy or perfect eyeliner.

Blusher, Bronzer and Highlighter
My favourite bronzer lately has been the bronzer in the collection contour and highlight kit. It blends really well and I just love it so much for autumn.

My favourite Highlighter has been mac soft and gentle it is absolutely beautiful and gives a really nice highlight. To make it even better use it over a cream highlighter or mac strobe cream which is what I have been using it over as I was given a strobe cream sample. But either way it gives off a beautiful highlight alone or over something.

My favourite blusher has been mac see me hear me from the alluring aquatics collection. Omg guys this blusher is beautiful for this season as it is a really nice warm colour which I love so much. Also it doesn't have loads of clumps of glitter or sparkle and it is very beautiful.

Lips
For my lips I will normally apply lip balm like eos or baby lips to begin with then I will apply a berry lipstick like Revlon black cherry, which is very autumnal!

Then to finish the whole look I will spray with nyx matte finishing spray and then I am done.
So I don't know If you could tell lately I am obsessed with mac.

Top 5 Autumn Essentials

Hello everybody and welcome to todays post! Today I am doing an autumn essentials post also quick notice im very sorry this was late and to make up for this I have a post for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday! My official uploading day is now a Wednesday evening at 6:30pm.

1. Cosy knit jumpers
What's autumn without cosy jumpers?  I have tons recently I have found some lovely ones in new look which are super adorable, cosy and affordable so I would definitely check new look out for some super cute jumpers.

2. Blanket scarfs
Blanket scarfs are the cutest things to spice up any outfit they are super affordable and just add a cosy autumnal feel to your outfit. Blanket scarfs are very versatile and can be used to wrap around yourself as a sort of kimono with no sleeves or a shawl.

3. Berry lipsticks
Of course this had to be in my essentials somewhere! Berry lipsticks are the typical go to autumn lip colour nearly everyone wears. My favourites are Revlon black cherry and mac rebel.

4. Lush Bath bombs
When the weather is cold outside in the night time I like to snuggle up and also have a bubbly warm bath with lush goodies especially from the winter 2015 collection. My favourites are so white, candy mountain and magic wand.

5. Snacks
So in the autumn I like to snack a lot whilst watching YouTube or TV. I love to snack normally on unhealthy foods like Crips and chocolate but occasionally I will be healthier and have strawberries or bananas.

Thank you for reading todays post and keep your eyes peeled for more ...

Lush Haul

Hello everybody, so I thought I would do a post on a small lush winter haul so I have been to lush so many times since the winter 2015 collection launched and every time I think I have bought something.


Okay so my first thing is from the Halloween section of the whole winter collection and it is the nightwing shower jelly.

This shower jelly smells really citrus like and it is in the shape of a bat which is sick.This product can be used for any things on the tub it says its for shampoo or body wash it says to get the product wet and use.Also it says for a more refreshing wash you should put in the fridge for a bit before using. Lush are doing this very cool pot collection where if you return five tubs from lush they give you a free face mask this reminds me a bit of back to mac.





 The rest of the things I bought are from the Christmas section.

First from the Christmas collection I bought peeping Santa this is a bubble bar that is supposed to smell of strawberries it smells a little bit like strawberries but not too much this is really cute and looks a bit like there summer 2015 bubblerons with the crème filling. It has two really cute eyes and I absolutely love this product.


Next I bought my all time favourite lush Christmas bubble bar it is of course the candy mountain omg this candy smelling bubble bar leaves you so many amazing smelling bubbles. I adore this product and this year they seem to be a bit more sparkly and glittery which I love this product really puts me in a festive mood.


I next bought a product I have never tried before and that is the father Christmas bath bomb this smells absolutely gorgeous and apparently turns your bath green although it is red and white on the outside. I absolutely love this and will probably by loads more of them.


The last thing I bought was the so white bath bomb this smells amazing of sweet apples. This is just a plain white bath bomb but it seems to have hints of colour in it this year. I have tried this before and it is so, so lovely. I will also probably buy more of these bath bombs.
