Autumn Wish List

So this week Autumn officially started! This truly is my favourite time of the year; all the beautiful colours, cold dark nights and of course the return of Starbucks Pumpkin Spiced Latte **insert heart eyed emoji here**
I especially love the colours involved in Autumn, all the shades of oranges, browns and deep berry colours look perfect on almost every skin tone!
I decided to make myself a little wish list of all the things I've found so far that I need in my Autumn collection this year.

Yankee Candle: Fireside Treats

I adore Yankee Candles as does every other girl I know. They have such a huge range of beautiful smells that just fill the room and last forever. Fireside Treats is the perfect scent for Autumn! It truly captures those frosty crisp bonfire nights, the perfect scent for snuggled evenings on the sofa sipping of hot chocolate. This is definitely an Autumn must-have this year.

Rimmel 60 Second Shine Nail Varnish: Berries and Cream

Ahh I love this colour!! It's so beautiful and goes perfectly with almost every single other colour. Rimmel 60 Second Shine nail varnish is by far the best nail varnish I have ever used. I own so many colours of this brand; it really does take seconds to dry and after 2 coats the colour looks fantastic and hardly chips meaning it lasts all week.The gel type varnish means it has a beautiful shine to it without even using a top coat. The perfect Autumnal shade for AW15.

Mac Lipstick: Hang-Up

It still pains me that I don't currently own a Mac lippy. I'm trying hard to be more adventurous with lipsticks as I tend to just stick to nudes and light pinks however this gorgeous dark berry shade is to die for! Can you imagine wearing this with an all black outfit and berry coloured accessories..? It's the perfect Autumn/Winter shade, especially for those who like to add a little Gothic touch to their style. 

Topshop D-Ring Sleeveless Duster

Oh wow, now this is a must have this season. Sleeveless duster jackets are so in this season along with this gorgeous Autumnal orange shade. It's the perfect autumn must have this year and would look gorgeous teamed with black jeans, a black turtle neck and some heeled Chelsea boots! Well done Topshop for this little beauty. 







It's early days into Autumn so this list is still growing but I've just been too excited to share my new autumn finds with you!

Make Up Recreation

I apologise.. again...for my massive lack of posting! However, I'm back! And tonight I'm sharing with you my favourite boredom breaker. Summer is obviously over and the dark Autumnal nights have officially arrived meaning evenings indoors can get a little boring; I mean there's only so much lazing around snuggling up with a hot chocolate you can do (I'm lying, you can never do too much of that)

So I have stored on my phone an album chocka-block full of make up look that inspire me. I usually only use them as ways to inspire my own make up looks however I decided to do the full monty and recreate this beautiful woman's make up as best I could.

Face

For my face I simply used just my trusty No7 Beautifully Matte foundation in the shade Calico with no bronzer or highlighter to try and replicate her flawless complexion. Having such dramatic eye make up means face and lips need to be quite subtle and plain so the eyes really stand out and the make up look isn't too OTT. 

Eyes & Eyebrows

Here's where the fun starts! This make up is all about the eyes and all about the drama. I tried my hardest to go as smokey as she has however my fear of too much black kicked in a tad. For my eyeshadow I used my Naked 2 palette and used only the last 2 shades; Busted and Blackout

I first applied the shade Busted lightly across the entire lid with a fluffy brush. I then applied the shade Black out using the same fluffy brush lightly to the crease and buffed it out up towards my brow bone. I then applied the same shade, Blackout, using a liner brush to my lower lash line and buffed this out slightly too to add more drama. 

I applied as much of my Dior Addict IT-lash mascara as I could however I couldn't quite manage to get the same dramatic lashes as she did without having to use falsies.
I added a lick of my favourite liquid eyeliner, Rimmel Exaggerate, to my upper lash line to try and add abit more depth. I then thickly applied my Rimmle eyebrow pencil and really tried to arch my brows up slightly higher than I normally would to try and recreate her totally to die for brows. 

Lips

For lips I purely just painted on a coat of my favourite light pink lipstick, Makeup Revolution's glorious £1 lipstick in the shade The One. I now, however, am gutted I can't find this lippy anywhere to take a photo of it so here is the photo from the Superdrug website. This is a beautiful light pink shade with a slightly glossy finish. This lipstick looks amazing with tanned skin too.

So after shoving my hair up into a messy/neat bun (if that isn't a perfect example on an oxymoron I don't know what is) and took a cheeky selfie here is my finished look! Considering this is my first recreation I'm quite pleased with the outcome, however I do need to dare to be smokier and panda my eyes up abit more.

I had so much fun recreating this look and can't wait to try out some more and share them with you!
