Bring on the Berry!

For me this time of year is when I start rocking the berry lips. They're an autumn staple for me and I have four I'm already obsessed with this year!

Revlon Lip Butter in Berry Smoothie- This one was a favourite from last year, and is definitely one to ease you into berry lips. The moisturising formula of the lip butters leaves a light wash of colour on your lips in an almost 'your lips but better' way, and is great for everyday wear!

YSL Rouge Volupte Shine in 17 Rose In Tension-  Another favourite from last year, and a lipstick I think was well worth its price tag. It has more of a pink tone than the others, and has a glossy finish. I think this is great for making you look more awake when you're only wearing basic makeup; foundation, concealer, and mascara, and also looks great on a night out.

Soap and Glory's Super-colour fabulipstick in Pom Pom- This is a lipstick I don't think I've ever heard people talking about, but they should be! It's a creamy matte lipstick which isn't drying on the lips, and lasts for absolutely ages. Seriously, this lipstick lasts for hours, even through eating, drinking, and talking!

Topshop Beguiled- I haven't had this one for long, but it's already the one I've worn most this year! It may look a bit scary in the tube, but can be dabbed onto the lips with your fingers to give a light wash of colour, and of course applied straight onto the lips in all its vampy, berry glory! I can't wait until we're well into autumn so I can wear it all the time!

Autumn Anticipation

The start of September means two things to me, my birthday and that autumn is on our horizons. Autumn is my favourite season because it means crisper weather and curling up with a hot cup of tea. The colder weather also means its time to crack out all those cosy scarves, jumpers, and boots. Let's not forget to mention the excuse it gives us to switch it up with our nails and makeup.

Warm and shimmery eyes. I can't wait to start digging back into my Urban Decay Naked palette, this summer if I've been wearing makeup at all I've mainly been sticking with my Naked Basic palette or the Mac paint pot in Rubenesque for my eyes, but now my naked palette is calling to me, and I know I'm definitely going to be getting my money's worth for it.

Berries and vampy lips. I've already jumped the gun a bit on this one and have already started wearing my Topshop lipstick in Beguiled. I love wearing this lightly dabbed on the lips with lip balm over top, or wearing it full force in all it's vampy glory!

Bundled and booted. I love jumpers from Oasis, they may be a bit higher in price but the quality of them is amazing, they last for years! For autumn and winter shoes and boots Topshop and New Look are the places to go, especially for affordable boots that are good quality. 

Revlon Lash Potion Review

I have been trying out both the regular formula and the waterproof formula of the Revlon Lash Potion mascara recently.

Springtime Favourite Lip Products

In the Spring the colours that I wear on my lips change from dark, vampy colours, to light and bright ones, this year is no exception.
