Top Five Autumn Lip Products

Lipstick becomes more of an essential for me during the autumn, because of all the gorgeous shades that come out. Today I thought I would talk you through my top five lippies for the season!

Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick in 107 // £5.49
Starting off with a good old Rimmel 107, as cliché as it may be, this lipstick is one of my favourites during the season. The lipstick is a gorgeous wine red and has a matte finish which is my favourite during the autumn. As a plus, the lipstick also smells amazing, is super pigmented and lasts a super long time on the lips.

Essence Matt Matt Matt Lipstick in 07 Purple Power // £2.30
Next up is a lipstick that I've talked about quite a bit on my blog, and it's the Essence Matt Matt Matt Lipstick in Purple Power. I'm obsessed with this absolutely perfect berry shade, the pigmentation is amazing and the lipstick itself lasts a substantial amount of time on the lips! Plus this lipstick is under £3, which is an absolute bargain!

MAC Matte Lipstick in Velvet Teddy // £16.50
What would a post about autumn lips be without featuring Velvet Teddy! I'm obsessed with this lipstick all year round, but I especially love it during the autumn as it's the perfect autumnal nude! Once again this is a matte finish, as it's my favourite during the season!

NYX Lingerie Liquid Lipstick in Embellishment // £7.00
Moving on, the next lip product is one of the NYX Lingerie Liquid Lipsticks. I'm in love with this collection from NYX, and one of my fave shades is Embellishment. It's a gorgeous nude with purple undertones, it's very pigmented and does last a long time on the lips!

Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Lipstick in Bond Girl // £24.00
My final autumnal lip favourite is the Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Lipstick in Bond Girl. This is defintley one of my absolute favourites as it has a matte finish but is still super creamy, meaning that it doesn't dry your lips out. The shade itself is a gorgeous berry red and is super pigmented. Also the lipstick smells really good, which is always a plus!

So those are my top five autumn lip products, I would recommend all these lippies for the season. I hope you enjoyed this post and have gained some inspo for some new autumnal lip products!

Everyday Autumn Makeup

It's that time of year again, when I start switching up my makeup routine to better suit the season. I've said this before, but Autumn is one of my favourite seasons and one of the reasons is because of the new beauty items and shades. I mean who can resist a berry lip? Today I thought I'd share with you, my updated everyday makeup routine for the Autumn!

Base
During the Autumn, I much prefer a matte finish to my makeup, so for primer I've started using Benefit's Porefessional. I can't rave about this product enough! It leaves my skin feeling super smooth after application, minimises my pores and keeps my makeup on for most of the day! For foundation and concealer, I obviously use my beloved MAC Studio Fix Foundation and the MAC Mineralize Concealer. I talk about these all the time so I won't ramble on! Again another product that always features in my makeup routine is the Rimmel Stay Matte Powder. I won't ramble on about it but just so you know it's one of the best drugstore powders I've tried! Moving onto bronzer, this absolutely gorgeous Ted Baker Bronze and Blush duo is my go to! The bronzer shade itself is perfect for my complexion, and doesn't leave me looking like I've smeared mud all over my face! As for blush my go to in the Autumn, is the Sleek Rose Gold blush. For one it's the perfect drugstore dupe for Nars Orgasm, but it also has little gold flecks in that provide a gorgeous natural blush with a little highlight!

Eyes
Moving onto eyes, recently I've been using the Tanya Burr My Paradise Eye Palette, because it's simply amazing! My go to look is a brown lid with a gorgeous red in the crease. Not only does it scream Autumn, it also makes my blue eyes pop (which is always a bonus!) If you read this seasons The Edit, then you will know how eyeliner is my favourite in the Autumn. The Collection Fast Stroke Eyeliner, is really good for people like me, who always make a mess with an eyeliner pen. The nib allows for perfect precision and makes the liner really easy to apply. I also forgot to add in mascara to this photo (silly me!) But my favourites this season are Benefit's Roller Lash and Rimmel Wake Me Up Mascara.

Lips
Finally for lips, I've recently been pairing MAC's Whirl Lip Liner with Velvet Teddy and it creates the most gorgeous dark nude! Also the liner keeps the lipstick on for much longer, and I can eat and drink without worrying about topping up the lipstick!

So that's my everyday Autumn makeup, I hope you all enjoyed this post and that you're also enjoying my autumnal content as I'm loving creating it for you!

Autumn Room Additions

Autumn is right around the corner, and I couldn't be happier, this weekend I decided to decorate my room for Autumn. (There may also be a few Halloween decorations in there, but hey don't judge me!) Most of my Autumnal room décor is from Country Baskets as their stuff is amazing quality and such a good price. Homebargains is also a really good place for Halloween décor too, and who can forget Homesense! They have amazing and unique autumnal and Halloween finds, so there's always something for everyone!

 

What's In My Bag // Autumn Edition

 

One thing that I always look forward to when the seasons change is swapping my bag around. (Does that me sound sad?) I just love getting a new bag that fits perfectly with the new season! Today I thought I would share with you what's in my bag for the autumn, I must admit it's pretty similar to my other What's In My Bags but there are a couple of new things in there! :)

Starting off with my bag, this is the Chloe Faye in Black (quick side note, this is a fake!) I've always loved this bag but the price tag is a little unrealistic for my age! This bag is the perfect size for me because it's big enough to fit in all my necessary items, but not big enough to also house the amount of junk I throw into my bag on a daily basis. (So it's a win win situation!)

Obviously my purse and phone are the two items that I have with me all the time. During the autumn, I like to add a hand cream into my bag because I find that my skin gets very dry in the colder months. Lip balm is another essential for me as my lips get very dry as well. The Smooch Operator from Soap & Glory is one of my faves! Finally I also keep the lip product I'm wearing that day in my bag, just in case I need to top it up throughout the day. The NYX Lingerie Liquid Lipstick in Exotic, is one of my favourite autumnal lip shades at the moment!

So that's everything that I keep in my bag, I hope you enjoyed having a lil' look into my bag and let us all just appreciate the beauty that is the Chloe Faye bag! :)

The Edit: Autumn Beauty

Even though September has really only just begun, I'm already in full autumn mode! Today I thought I would share with you some of the beauty products, that I'm going to be using a lot this autumn! Autumn is definitely one of my favourite times of the year for beauty because all the shades are gorgeous and who can't resist a berry lip?

Ted Baker Bronzer & Blush Duo //
Starting off with this absolutely gorgeous bronzer and blush duo, from Ted Baker. I'm obsessed with both the shades in this palette, but mostly the blush as it's the perfect autumnal pink that gives your cheeks a really pretty natural glow. Unfortunately this palette is now unavailable as it was part of a Christmas set.

Rimmel London Kate Moss Eyeshadow Crayon in Rose Gold // £4.49
What screams autumn more than a rose gold eyeshadow? This absolutely gorgeous eyeshadow crayon from Rimmel is perfect for the autumn. The formula is super creamy, which makes it really easy to blend and the pigmentation is amazing!

Tanya Burr Cosmetics Eyeshadow Palette in My Paradise // £5.99
This is my first eyeshadow palette from Tanya Burr Cosmetics, and it defintley did not disappoint! The eyeshadows are a mixture of golds, reds and browns and the pigmentation is amazing! I've been using this palette a lot recently and I've figured out my autumn eye look and it looks super pretty!

Collection Fast Stroke Eyeliner // £2.99
Next up is eyeliner, I only ever wear it during the autumn time as I think it looks really nice with an autumnal eye look. This one from Collection is amazing as it super easy to apply due to the applicator being the perfect size for my eyelid shape. I find with eyeliner pens that sometimes the nib is too big for my eyelids, and eyeliner ends up going everywhere! (Not a cute sight!)

Essence Matt Matt Matt Lipstick in Purple Power //  £2.30
The last product I want to talk about is the Essence Matt Matt Matt Lipstick in Purple Power. This lipstick is absolutely gorgeous and the perfect berry shade for the autumn time! The pigmentation is amazing and a little bit goes a long way. The actual lipstick itself smells super good too, which is always a positive!

So that's it for this post, I hope you enjoyed it and I would defintley recommend that you try out all of these products during the autumn time!
