Room Decor Ideas for Autumn 2015

So since Autumn is in full swing and all the leaves begin to fall of the trees. I thought it would be a good idea to autumnify? my room. I loved how they look so much that I thought I would share it with you guys.

Leaves
I absolutely love the colours of the leaves during Autumn, so much that I wanted to put some up in my room. I didn't really want to use dirty ones from outside, so instead I bought some from a local craft store and hung them on my wall and they look so cute. Plus it instantly makes my room feel so cosy!!

Fairy Lights
Even though I have fairy lights hung around my room all year round. I always like to get another set of plain lights that I can just hang around my room. I actually hang my leaves inbetween the fairy lights and at night it looks so cute!!!

Candles
Duh who doesn't love candles? I never really have that many candles around my room during the year, but once it gets to Autumn I could literally open up my own candle store (hehe) I just think they look so cute and make my room super cosy. My favourite candle brand definitely has to be Yankee Candle because their candles smell amazing, they have a huge range of scents for Autumn and top all that off they have the cutest pictures on the jar.

Pumpkins
Obviously I don't keep real pumpkins in my room, however quite a few years ago now my mum got some light up pumpkins form Tesco's or something and I was hooked on how they looked in my room and I've been using them ever since!! Its a really good way to decorate your room for both Halloween and Autumn, and the good thing is they don't end up smelling really bad!! (ughh)

Halloween Decorations
One of the main events that happens during Autumn is of course Halloween!! I always love being able to get out all my Halloween decorations for my room!! Again obviously I have my Pumpkins but I have other things as well like a hanging Witch. Some Supermarkets have really cool décor pieces for Halloween for super cheap prices, so if you don't have any Halloween décor I would definitely recommend you check out your local Supermarket!!

So those were a few ways to spice up your room for Autumn, I hope this helped some of you, if you too want to Autumnify your room!! I really enjoy doing these sorts of posts, so comment down below if you'd like Room Décor Ideas for Winter and Christmas!!!

"What's your favourite thing about Autumn?"

My MAC Lipstick Collection ♡

MAC is quite possibly my all time favourite High-End makeup brand. The quality and pigmentation of their products are amazing!! Their lipsticks are probably my fave thing from MAC and I now have 5, I know to some people it may not seem like a big collection, but I'm very grateful for them all.

♡ New York Apple 

This is a lipstick colour that I wouldn't normally go for, it's a really pretty dark red with purple undertones. This is a perfect colour for Autumn and Winter. New York Apple is a Frost lipstick and applys really creamily!!

♡ Angel

Angel is possibly one of my all time favourite colours in my collection. I'm a pink girl at heart so most of my MAC lippies are pink!! Angel is another Frost lipstick and again applys really creamily.

♡ Creme Cup

Another pink colour that I own is Creme Cup, this one is slightly lighter than Angel and even though a lot of people claim that Cremesheens don't have much colour for me it's still a really pretty pale pink. Like I said Creme Cup is a Cremesheen and again applys really nicely. 

♡ Pink Plaid 

The final pink lipstick in my collection is Pink Plaid. This is the newest addition to my collection and is my favourite at the moment. Pink Plaid is a really pretty dark pink with a purple undertones, this makes a really nice autumnal pink colour. Pink Plaid is a matte and for me I prefer MAC's Matte Lipsticks over many of my Drugstore mattes, this is because their really creamy and not drying at all. 

♡ Velvet Teddy

My final MAC lipstick is possibly my favourite out of all of them. Velvet Teddy was my first MAC lipstick and kind of started off my whole obsession!! Velvet Teddy is a really nice dark nude and has light brick red undertones to it. Again this lipstick is a Matte and is not drying at all. 

So that's my MAC Lipstick Collection, I hope you enjoyed reading it and maybe I've parted some inspiration into you on what your first or maybe even next MAC Lipstick will be! 

Fashion | My Topshop Autumn Fashion Wishlist 2015 // Collab WithEnlightGirl

Now that Autumn is

fully upon us, it's only right to buy some autumnal fashion pieces. Today I thought I'd share with you my Topshop  Autumn Fashion Wishlist. This is also a collab with EnlightGirl, so make sure to read her post too.

One of my all time favourite shops is Topshop, I find they have really nice things in at this time of the year! :)

Checked Shirt

So the first piece on my wishlist is a Mustard Checked Shirt. Now Mustard may not sound the most prettiest of colours, but it looks absolutely gorgeous on this shirt. The shirt also has small bits of browns and creams so they really make it look pulled together. The shirt itself costs £30.

Classic Wool Fedora Hat

I absolutely loved the look of these last year but I never bought one. I guess it's probably because I'd never know when to wear it. However this one I find really suits me so I'll definitely be picking this up. The hat is £22

MA1 Bomber Jacket

This has to be one of my favourite th8ings ever from Topshop. It's so pretty and I think it would be really nice for those days when it's not cold but not too warm either. This jacket is £55

 

So that's my Topshop Autumn Wishlist so far, all together it comes too £107, which obviously I don't have right now!! But I'm definitely going to be saving up!!

 

P.S: It's finally time for my Halloween Series to start, so that will begin on Wednesday (MUCH EXCITEMENT!!!)

My Autumn Favourites | Collab with Its-Not-Synx

I think I've probably mentioned this before, but Autumn is one of my all time favourite seasons!! I just love it so much because everything becomes a lot cosier and autumnal colours in my opinion are absolutely gorgeous!!! Today I thought I would talk to you about my Autumn favourites, this is also a collab with the lovely its-just-snyx.blogspot she will be posting her Autumn favourites on Friday so make sure you check it out. 

So I'll start of firstly with makeup. So my first autumnal favourite would definitely have to be a berry or nude lip. (Because what's Autumn without these) Also I don't know what I do if I didn't have my Naked 2 palette because the colours in the palette are gorgeous and perfect for Autumn (I've written a blogposts on an eye look I have created with my Naked 2 palette so make sure you check it out!!) My final makeup favourite blushes, I think that blush looks really pretty at this time f the year because it gives you a really nice autumnal flushed look.

Next I'll move onto fashion. Firstly I definitely at all times have to be wearing my tartan scarf!! I just think that it pulls the whole outfit together and keeps you super cosy. (I've also written a blogposts on my autumn OOTD, so check that out as well if you want!!)  Also I have to have my coat on as well because it just instantly makes me feel so much more autumnal and keeps me so warm!! Next up what is Autumn without a few cosy jumpers? These are definitely my favourite things to wear during the Autumn because you can quickly put them on with leggings and your outfit looks instantly put together. Finally what would an autumn be without cosy socks? Again these are my favourite and as I'm writing this post I'm actually wearing a pair now!! :)

So my final category is probably my favourite because if you've read my blog for awhile you probably know that I'm obsessed over cute room décor (Once again I have a post about this on my blog too!!) Autumn is my favourite time to get cute room décor (aside from Winter) because I love the colours and also Halloween décor is out as well!! One of my favourite things to decorate my room with during Autumn is Fairy Lights, because I think they instantly add cuteness and cosiness to my room. Also I love having little bursts of autumnal colours around m room to instantly spruce it up a bit. Finally I love to buy new ornaments that are autumn inspired because the colours are gorgeous!!

So those were my Autumn Favourites, I hope you guys enjoyed, and don't forget to check out its-not-synx 's post too because I'm sure it will be amazing!!

Autumn OOTD

Autumn is one of my favourite seasons for fashion because it becomes super cosy and the autumn colours for clothes are gorgeous!! I thought today I'd share with you an Autumn OOTD post because I have recently picked up a few new fashion bits and I put them all together into one outfit and it is my absolute favourite outfit at the moment!!

 

 

So firstly my coat is from Topshop and I think its called the Slim Pocket Coat and its a really pretty camel colour. I've been loving the colour Camel recently because I think its so pretty for this time of the year. Next up my scarf is from River Island and its just the usual tartan colours, personally I think it looks really pretty with the coat because it adds a bit of colour to the outfit. Then my white top is again from Topshop, this is a just a really simple white crop top and can be layered underneath everything!! I really like how it looks with this outfit because it still keeps to the really nice neutral autumnal look. My high waisted black leggings are also from Topshop and they're just plain black but I think they pull the outfit together and they just look really nice. (Plus their super comfy too!!) My bag is from Michael Kors, and is super pretty and perfect for this time of the year because it just adds that little something extra to the outfit. Moving onto my socks, these are from Dorothy Perkins and are a really pretty autumnal red colour. Finally my boots are from Pull&Bear, these are my absolute favourite pair of boots I think they look really pretty and complete the look really well. Also they keep my feet super warm!!

So that was my Autumn OOTD, I really hope you guys enjoyed this post, because I really enjoyed putting this post together, and I will definitely be doing more of these!!

Beauty | My Top 5 Autumn Lipsticks

Autumn is definitely one of my favourite times of the year, especially when it comes to lips. Today I thought I would share with you my top 5 Autumn lip colours and also maybe give you guys some ideas for lipsticks if you're struggling to find a good one for Autumn time!! :)

MAC Lip Liner in Hover: £12.50
I absolutely love lip liners for Autumn especially when I'm wearing a darker or bolder lip because I feel like spending those extra few minutes lining your lips really does make the difference to your makeup look. However I also like to use just lip liner and one of my favourite colours to do this with is MAC's Hover. This is a gorgeous dark brown shade (you could say it's the perfect match to Velvet Teddy) I really like wearing Hover with a nice neutral eye look, because they goes perfectly together and create a gorgeous Autumnal  makeup look.

MAC Matte Lipstick in Velvet Teddy: £15.50
Next up is another MAC product. Velvet Teddy is quite possibly my all time favourite Autumnal lipstick. Its a really pretty dark brown (like I said earlier its very similar to Hover) I also think the lipstick itself has some orange undertones to it which I really like. Again I would wear this lipstick with a neutral eye look and probably a little bit of eyeliner. Another thing I like about this lipstick is that it is matte, but is not drying for me personally.

MUA Sweet Sheen Lip Balm in Cherry Bomb: £2.50
Even though I do like my high end lipsticks, sometimes it just doesn't beat drugstore lippies. Earlier in the year I picked up one of the new MUA Sweet Sheens in the shade Cherry Bomb because I thought it would be perfect for Autumn time. I guess you could say the Sweet Sheens are very similar to Maybelline's Baby Lips however personally I think they are a lot more pigmented but not as moisturising . Anyways going back onto the lip product itself the colour is a gorgeous Cherry, but its not too bright so can be worn as an everyday colour or built up for a night look.

Topshop Lipstick in Naturist: £8.00
This lipstick was actually my first makeup product from Topshop and I can tell you that I will definitely be buying more from the Topshop Makeup Range because all the colours are insanely pigmented. The one I have is in the shade Naturist, its a gorgeous nude colour with some slight purple undertones. Unlike my two MAC lip products I would definitely pair this lipstick with a dramatic smokey eye because I feel like it would complement the eye look really well!!

Rimmel Exaggerate Lip Liner in Eastend Snob: £3.99
My final lip product is another from the Drugstore and I cannot even explain how much I have been wanting this liner in the shade Eastend Snob. I've been on the lookout for that perfect pinky nude colour for a while and I've finally found it with this liner. Its a super pretty dark pinky nude perfect for Autumn time. Again like the Topshop Lipstick I would definitely pair it with a really pretty smokey eye.

So those are my Top 5 Autumn Lipsticks, and I'll definitely be wearing these throughout the Autumn time. I hope that if you were struggling to find that perfect Autumnal lip colour I have sort of in a way helped you by sharing with you some of my fave and if not I hope you enjoyed this post because I definitely enjoyed writing it!!! :)

Beauty | Autumn Essenstials // Collab With GracexKate

It's the first official day of Autumn today!! Which means it's only right to share with you my Autumn Essentials. This is also a collab GracexKate.BlogSpot.co.uk so make sure you check out her post afterwards.

So throughout the Autumn time, I absolutely love dark nudes especially MAC's Velvet Teddy and Soap and Glory Sexy Mother Pucker in Charm Offense. Another thing that I love about Autumn is the new nail polish colours. I adore dark colours like berry, maroon and even black. However I still like to have a fun side so colours like orange and mustard are definitely at the top of my list. I also love wearing eyeshadow throughout the Autumn and my g to palette is definitely my Naked 2, I actually have a post up about an eye look you can try on my blog so you can read that if you'd like to know the colours I use.

For clothes it obviously has to be the traditional jumpers. I honestly feel like Autumn isn't Autumn without jumpers!! Also boots are one of my favourite things for this season, I have a pair from Pull&Bear and they are so nice. Also they look super cute and girly with frilly socks as well!! Finally my last clothing essential is definitely a tartan scarf , I have two, one in the traditional red colours and also one from River Island which is a pale blue, nude and pink. I just feel like these scarfs can go with any outfit and make you feel super cosy!!

So those were my Autumn Essentials, don't forget to check out Grace's blog and read all about her Autumn Essentials. Also I have a bunch of Halloween posts planned for the next couple of weeks so you can definitely look forward to that!!

Beauty | Autumn Eye Makeup Look Using Naked 2

Since Autumn is a mere few days away (23rd of September, to be exact!!) I thought today I'd share with you my very first tutorial. So I'm obsessed with my Naked 2 palette and recently I have been wearing this look a lot and I've really been loving it. It's a perfect nude look for the Autumn time.

Primer
Because the base colour of this look is quite a light shade, I always like to prime my eyes using my MAC Mineralized concealer, I find that using a concealer instead of a proper eye primer helps to keep this look on longer and also helps to make the pigmentation of the colours better. Plus it makes your eyelids all one colour. :)

Lid
So the first colour that I use is Bootycall, this is a gorgeous colour and, if you have blue eyes really makes them pop. So all I do is apply this to my crease using my Real Techniques Domed Shadow Brush. I pat on the product rather than swiping because I feel like it is more pigmented this way.

Crease
Then I take the colour Tease and work this into my crease. I like to use this colour because it makes the look a little bit more smokey whilst still keeping it natural. I use the brush that came with the Naked 2 palette for this colour. I use the end with the more sharper brush because that's a small brush so really gets precision in the crease. Afterwards I take the other side of the brush which is super fluffy and blend the two colours together.

So that was my Autumn Eye Makeup Look, I really hope you enjoyed this post and I'm sorry if its a bit short but I promise you I have some super exciting posts coming up very soon, which I have been working super hard on!!!

Beauty | Back To School Makeup Routine 2015 // CollabWithMeetMeInMelford

Now I'm guessing that most of you have gone back to school by now, I have (unfortunately) so I thought today I'd share with you my back to school makeup look. This is also a collab with the amazing Lily from MeetMeInMelford, her blog is amazing and one of my all time favourites. So make sure you check out her post after this one.

Baby Skin Instant Fatigue Blur in Cool Rose: £7.99
So the first thing that I apply is my Baby Skin in Cool Rose, this smooth's out my face and also conceals any redness. Like the title suggests it also makes my skin look 10x more awake than before.

MAC Mineralized Concealer in NW10: £17.50
Next up I apply my concealer, I don't wear foundation for school because I try to go with quite a natural look with my makeup. I only apply the concealer under my eyes to brighten my under eye circles. I don't apply it to my blemishes because I don't want it to look like I have any makeup on and if I covered my blemishes you would be able to tell I had makeup on. I apply my concealer with the Real Techniques Concealer Brush.

Rimmel Stay Matte Powder in Transparent: £3.99
Then I apply my powder. I use my Real Techniques Setting Brush to set my concealer and then my Real Techniques Powder Brush to keep the rest of my face matte throughout the day.

I Heart Makeup Triple Baked Blush in Candy Queen of Hearts: £5.99
For blush I like to go quite natural with just a little bit of a natural pink flush. I do this because I don't want to make myself look like I've been on a long run!! :) To apply the blush I just use my Real Techniques Blush Brush.

Benefit Roller Lash: £19.50
Afterwards I move onto mascara and for this I use my all time favourite Roller Lash. This makes my eyelashes so long and also makes me look more awake, its also not clumpy so gives my lashes that natural long length effect.

Lovable Luxuries Brow Spoolie: (I'm not sure on the price as this product came in a set)
I don't doing anything that dramatic with my brows I just brush them into shape and shape out my brow arch.

Sleek Brow Setting Gel in Clear: £4.99
Then I set the shape of my brow with the Sleek Brow Setting Gel in Clear. Without this step I tend to notice that my brows move out of shape throughout the day.

Maybelline Baby Lips in Melon Mania: £2.99
To finish of the look I use the Maybelline Baby Lips in Melon Mania. I like this because its a super natural colour and also keeps my lips moisturized and hydrated throughout the day.

So that was my Back To School Makeup Routine. I hope you enjoyed and also don't forget to check out Lily's post on her blog.

"What's your holy grail makeup item for School?"

Lifestyle | What's In My School Bag 2015 // Collab with PastelBlastsBeauty & PinkSmarties

One great thing about Back To School (besides stationary supply shopping) is getting a new bag. I absolutely love when the time comes for me to get a new bag because I will probably have got bored of my old one by now. Since it's the new school year, I obviously had to get a new bag, which also lent itself to a blogposts!! So today I'm going to be sharing with you a What's In My School Bag for 2015. This is also a collab with 3 lovely bloggers: PastelBlastsBeauty, and PinkSmarties.

Michael Kors Tan Bag
Firstly my bag is from Michael Kors and it's a gorgeous tan/brown colour. It is super big on the inside and has 3 different pockets of space for me to put things in. I keep my PE Kit in one side and then all the rest of my stuff in the other two pockets. I like how the pockets are big because, it keeps my stuff nice and organized.

School Planner
So the first thing that I have in my bag is my planner. Now my school supply's our planners so we don't have to buy one. However I do like to keep my own in so I can keep track a bit easier with all the things I have to do.

Reading Book
Next up is a reading book. Now my school has a rule that you have to have a reading book with you at all times or it's a detention!! I keep one in from home that I know I enjoy reading so whenever we have to read, I can enjoy myself!!

Beauty Bag
I actually already have a post up with all the things that I keep in my beauty bag, so if you're interested you can go and read that and find out about all the things I keep that are beauty related in my bag.

Pencil Case
Obviously everyone has to have a pencil case, with them in their school bag. All I keep in mine are: spare pencils/pens, gluestick, Tipex, calculator and highlighters. It's always good to keep a pencil case in your bag because that way you can take extra things without having to have them in your Blazer pocket.

PE Kit
I only need my PE kit two days a week, so I don't always have it with me but when I do I have to have: PE top and shorts and Trainers/Football Boots.

Folders
One of the things that is in my bag permantely is my folder. I always keep it in my bag so that my homework or letters don't get all crumpled up and ruined. It also helps me to stay organized because I know where everything is.

So that's what I keep in my School Bag. I hope you enjoyed this post and also I hope it may have helped you with ways to keep yourself (and your bag) organized.
