Favourite Fall Lipsticks





Hi guys! Today I'm going to be showing you 3 of my favourite lipsticks for Autumn. I love darker lip colours so when Autumn and Winter come around I get really excited! Deep red's and purple's are my favourite. I also really love berry colours and I think I may have even found the perfect berry lip colour!




I first heard about this collection when it was available in the US but not yet in the UK and I couldn't wait to try them. As soon as Boots got them in stock I headed straight down there and bought one. The colour Raspberry Pie especially stood out to me just because its one of the darker shades from the collection. They recently brought out more shades but for me, this is gorgeous. It's very opaque and stays on for a good amount of time but if you do drink or eat it will fade a lot which is annoying but apart from that it's lovely. Very creamy and moisturising and the colour is beautiful.

I'm a big fan of Revlon products and especially of their lipsticks. I found this one last Christmas and I fell in love although it is a very risky colour to wear. I would suggest to do the rest of your make up very simple if you want to wear a colour this dark. It's a great colour and isn't drying at all so there's no need to wear a lip balm underneath. Perfect fall colour!

Topshop Crayon In Suspect
So I know technically this is a lip CRAYON and not a LIPSTICK but it does the same job. I got this back in April so haven't been able to really wear it until now. In Spring/Summer it just didn't look right. It's too deep of a colour to really pull off unless it's in the evening. So now I'm quite excited to be able to wear this more. Because it's a crayon it is VERY drying on the lips so I would recommend wearing a lip balm underneath for sure. But the greatest thing about this is that it doesn't come off all day! Even when eating and drinking. Even when taking it off with a make up wipe you do have to scrub a little bit but I don't mind that because that means it's long lasting and it doesn't transfer at all which is awesome.

August Favourites. 



Hi guys, just thought I'd show you a few of my favourite beauty products (and 1 non beauty product) through the month of August. 

My hair is quite thick but has hardly any volume to it whatsoever and this shampoo just gives it that bit of a lift it needs. I will still back comb my hair a bit but I can definitely get away with not doing so after using this! Not to mention all Aussie products smell so good which is a bonus!

I love any hair product that is going to put moisture back into my hair just because my hair can get a bit dry if I've been using heat on it or been styling it a lot. Aussie do some really good leave in conditioners but for a regular conditioner this one works amazingly. Their Miracle Moist range is definitely my favourite!

I very rarely use heat on my hair as I know how bad it is for your hair, but when I do it can get very dry. If I don't have time to let my hair dry naturally then after I shower and my hair is damp I will take a small amount of this and run in through the mid lengths and ends of my hair but focus more on the ends. Don't put it anywhere near the roots or it will make your hair look greasy. This is one of the best heat protectors I've come across. Even after blow drying the scent of the product stays in your hair all throughout the day which I love.

My sister recommended this to me about a month or two ago and if anyone who knows a good hairspray, it's her. She's very fussy about what hairspray she uses as she uses it on a daily basis and not only likes it to have a very good hold but also have a nice smell. Both her and myself have relatively thick hair so it's hard to find one that will hold the hair in place all day. This one has a great hold without it making it feel rock hard and averagely lasts about 5-6 hours on me at work. As a plus the smell is a lot nicer compared to other ones I've tried.

I wanted to invest in a good pair of eyelash curlers as I had a cheap pair before but they broke just after a few months of purchasing them. I have always trusted Tweezerman products and have had my eye on their eyelash curlers for a while and they're exactly how I imagined they would be. They're very easy to clean and the pad feel very nice and isn't too harsh on the eyes. It also comes with a refill pad which is always helpful!

This is supposed to be the UK's No.1 selling mascara and I can see why! If you haven't seen this mascara before you've been living under a rock! It is literally THE best mascara I've ever used. My lashes aren't very long at all unfortunately but after using this, you'd never know. The only downside to it is that it dries out very quickly. Apart from that minor problem overall it's a great mascara.

I really really really wanted a Parka for so long but I'm not a massive fan of the fur around the hood so when I found this one in H&M I HAD to have it. It's a really thick, warm coat and the colour is really nice and goes with pretty much anything. The lining inside is detachable which is great if you just want a lighter jacket some days.
