Sweater weather tag

Recently I was tagged to do this by one of my besties mallyrosexx.blogspot.com. Definitely go check out her blog she does amazing posts from anything cooking to fashion and beauty ( also have a look at her sweater weather tag!). 

So as you may know I love doing tags and I thought that this one was really fun so let's get started.

1. Favourite fall candle?

Recently I have been loving 2 candles from bath and body works ( sorry if I'm cheating I just couldn't pick 1!). One is in fresh balsam which smells of freshly cut Christmas trees, even though we are still not in the Christmas months I just get excited. And I also love the one in Apple cider which smells very cinnamony and like apples and slightly sweet. The thing I love about B&BW candles is that they really give out a scent and really do make my whole room really strongly scented.

2. Coffee,Tea or Hot Chocolate?

I feel that for autumn and winter I would have to choose hot chocolate since I mainly drink it during these seasons. While for coffee and tea I drink them mostly all year round so it must be hot chocolate.

3. What's the best fall memory you have?

I don't really have any specific fall memory but I would say that when I was younger (when there wasn't so much homework and work to do!) I used to go almost every morning on a walk just looking at the leaves and the pretty views.

4. Which makeup trend do you prefer : dark lips of winged liner?

I think I would go with winged liner because I feel as if dark lip colours don't really suit me and I'm  more of a natural girl, but I do love the look of dark colours on other people. I do like to sometimes do winged liner do give more of a diffrent look.

5. Best fragrance for the fall?

For me it would be Alien by Thierry Mugler since its a spicy warm scent with vanilla and a lot of depth.

6. Favourite thaksgiving food? 

Since I do live in the UK we don't really celebrate thanksgiving so unfortunately I can't really answer that question.

7. What is autumn weather like where you live?

As I said I live in Britain so the weather is mostly rainy and really windy but it still can be sunny sometimes.

8. Most worn sweater?

I love my H&M sweater which is made of 2 or 3 shades of blue which gives it a really pretty look. And of course it's super comfy!

9. Must have nail polish this fall?

I love Sally Hansen salon manicure nail polish in 'Raisin the Bar' it's a really pretty purpley red with shimmer which is just perf for fall.

10. Football games or jumping in leave piles?

Definitely jumping in leave piles.

11. Skinny jeans or leggings?

I think skinny jeans because I wear them more often but I do love me some cosy leggings.

12. Combat boots or uggs?

This is a close one but I will have to do combat boots because I think they look nicer and give some edge to your outfit while uggs are more for comfort.

13. Is pumpkin spice latte worth the hype?

I would say yes I loveeee it! But I don't have it too often since its not the healthiest.

14. Favourite fall TV show?

I really don't know?! I fell like I just kind of watch anything that interests me that day.

15. What song really gets you in the fall spirit?

I think it would be Sparksfly by Taylor swift. I just love swifty and that is one of my faves. I really don't know why it reminds me off fall but it does.

Now I tag all of you and I hope you enjoyed.

The Lip Addict Tag

Now this is a little different than normal but today I'm going to be doing a tag!! Let's get started!

1. Favourite balm/treatment?

I think that my favourite balm /treatment must be the Korres Lip Butter in Jasmine. It is slightly on the pricier side for a lip balm ( £8 ) but I love it so much. It makes my lips so soft and really nourishes them. Normally I will apply it before I go to bed and then when I wake up my lips are super soft . The lip butters come in different shades and flavours such as pomegranate, guava etc.

2. My Best Eye Catching Red?

I actually probably cant answer this question since I never wear red lipstick because I don't think that it suits me very we'll so I don't have any red lipsticks. Yeah! (Sorry!)

3. Best luxury and best drugstore?

I don't have too many luxury lipsticks because think that lipsticks at the drugstore are amazing so why waste the money. But sometimes you have to have luxuries in our life! Am I wright ladies!

My fav high end lipstick be would be the Dior Lip Addict in the shade 260 Rose Deshabille . I think it's so creamy and such a gorgeous natural colour. My fav drugstore would be the Maybelline Colour Whispers , which aren't in the UK but are amazing. I have a couple shades and they are all beautiful, they are all slightly sheer but easily buildable. And I would say that I love them more than the Revlon Lip Butters.Shhhhhh!

4. Best Mac Lipstick

My favourite Mac lipstick would have to be Angel but I do love cream cup but it would be angel definitely. A gorgeous pinky shimmer shade.(Mac Frost)

5. Most Disappointing Lip Products?

Unfortunately I didn't really think that the Revlon Lip Butters were that great. Sorry but I just don't think their worth the hype. I wouldn't say that their a really bad product but I think that everyone was really bringing my expectations really high and it just didn't live up to that. And I also didn't think the colour selection was so good. But I still do use it, just not as much as I would like to.

6. Liner-yes or no?

No, because I normally forget to apply it so on a daily basis I would have to say no and it's just another extra step(I'm just lazy to be honest!).

7. Best gloss?

I would have to say that my fav gloss would have to be urban decay naked lip-gloss in the shade Liar. I feel as if their just a gorgeous texture and have a really nice minty tingly feeling. The colours are mostly neutral in the naked collection but I particularly love the shade liar, it's a gorgeous pinky nude shade which goes with basically every lipstick.

8. Any other?

No 

So I hope you guys enjoyed this quick tag, hopefully I gave you some ideas of the products I have been loving recently. If you have any requests pleas leave them down below and see you guys next time.

Just wanting to apologise that I have been having a lot of problems trying to upload pictures on to my blog. I wanted just to tell you this so that you know that I have been trying to fix it but nothing has been working but I will continue to try get them up for all of you. Sorry 

Fav Autumn Fashion Trends

So far on my blog I haven't talked much about fashion, although I love it equally or maybe even more than beauty. So I thought a great way to start my FASHION And beauty blog is to start with fashion trends I have been loving for the start of this season. (AUTUMN!) 

Cardigans

First of all I think that one of my biggest essential for autumn is a nice cosy cardigan, if it's colourful ,neutral whatever colour it is ,I think it is definitely a big staple in anyone's wardrobe. It can be slouchy and supper comfy or it could be for fitted. It can make your outfit look more put together and at the same time it brings you to cosy land.

Ankle boots

This may be my favourite essential of all.......ankle boots. I mean how can you go wrong with a simple pair of brown booties. I think it's a staple in my wardrobe. I think they are soooo easy to style with jeans,skirts,dresses everything. And they look so cute! You can get diffrent style booties so if you prefer some height definitely go for a little heel but if not just go for the simple option. "SIMPLES" ( If you know where that Is from I LOVE YOU).

Scarfs

Since cold weather is coming( when is it not cold in the UK?) I always start to wear scarfs. I basically wear scarves all year round but much thinker ones in Autumn and winter. If your outfit is looking very plain or doesn't have a lot of color just add a scarf and ....wow, you just came out of a fashion runway. My favourite this year had been floral. I just love the look of a scarf with a denim jacket or with a army jacket or anything really. 

Skirts 

Now, you might be thinking " skirts in the autumn and winter ,no chance you can wear that". Well the answer is simply yes. All what you have to do is layer. So for example you can wear a high waisted skater skirt with a crop top( if the skirt is a solid colour go with a print such as floral but if the skirt has pattern skip to a plain colour such as white) with tights. Then you could layer on top a nice jacket,a scarf and ankle booties. Now your getting we excited for fall.

Flannels

 If I ever don't know what to wear this is my go to look. Just throw a flannel put on some jeans and ankle boots a jacket and some cute accessories and your ready to take on your day. They are also the cosiest thing, and who doesn't like to be cosy in fall.

So that was my top 5 essentials for autumn, I hope I've given you some ideas for your outfits. Please tell me what your essentials are this autumn and see you next time.
