Autumn Tag 2014

Image taken from 'Makeup-Pixi3'

Autumn is upon us, and I can genuinely say that I am so so so excited for this new season. I love autumn and winter purely because of the spicy candle scents, new hot drinks, dark makeup and wrapping up all warm. Oh! And the fact christmas us also upon us.

1. Ok we're talking coffee's- what's your favourite seasonal drink from Starbucks/Costa/Cafe Nero etc?

I only ever seem to drink coffee in the autumn/winter months. I don't know whether this is because I enjoy waiting for the new hot drinks to come out in my local Costa, or whether I just enjoy the warm feeling that they give me. 2 of my favourite seasonal drinks are both from Costa and these are the White Hot Chocolate and the Gingerbread Latte. Both as equally scrumptious, both as sickly, but both as more-ish as one another.

2. Accessories- what do you opt for? Scarf, boots, gloves?

All 3 accessories. I always grab my scarf and gloves and put on a pair of boots if I am going for an autumn walk. This way I feel so snug and put together for the chilly season. 

3. Music- what's your favourite music to listen to during autumn?

I can't really say that I change my music preferences depending on the season if I am honest. I do like to go for a more subtle type of music, like chill out music if I am trying to get things done. I am especially liking Lilly Ahlberg (check her out on YouTube) at the moment, so I think she will be the perfect pick for this autumn. 

4. Perfume- what's your favourite scent for this time of year?

I like musky perfume full of spice and depth. This is because it reminds me of the spicy candle scents you get in supermarkets or home ware shops, and I just think it is a staple scent for this type of year.

5. Candles- what scents will you be burning this autumn?

Anything autumn related will be having a flame taken to it's wick this autumn. I want my room/flat to be full of spicy scents and all of that autumn goodness. 

6. What do you love most about autumn?

It may sound strange, and I promise I do love the sun when it decides to make an appearance in the UK, but I love the dark nights and the slight chill autumn gives. I also love the tree's changing colour and long autumnal walks with family and friends. 

7. Favourite makeup look?

The makeup I wear during autumn is also one I wear quite often on a day-to-day basis. I love to wear a dark eye with a dark lip on pale skin. The products that I have been loving and will be carrying through to autumn are MAC lipsticks in Rebel and Heroine, Revlon Colourstay Foundation in Buff and MAC eyeshadows in Shadow Lady and Satin Taupe. They look beautiful on and are perfect for the autumn season.

8. What are you looking forward to most this autumn?

- Going to university and beginning my first year.

- Meeting all of the new people in my flat.

- Becoming independent.

- Bonfire night (I loveeeee fireworks!)

So there is my autumn tag! I tag anybody to complete this, but If you use the picture Makeup-Pixi3 put together then please reference her!

The Autumn Tag

Hi guys!

Seeing this tag on a fair few blogs has made me super excited for autumn, so I thought I participate in completing the autumn tag for you guys too! Autumn and winter are my 2 favourite months. This is because I love the colour change, wrapping up warm, experimental drinks in Costa and preparing for Christmas! Anyway, I seem to be getting carried away so lets get started!

1. Favourite thing about autumn?

My favourite thing about autumn is that Christmas is just around the corner, the cold weather and the dark nights. I absolutely love wrapping up warm and going for long walks in pretty places.

2. Favourite drink?

My favourite drink is the Honeycomb Hot Chocolate from Costa. These are the most perfect  drinks whilst studying for January mocks, or even just to sit with in the school common room when I have free periods!

3. Favourite scent?

My favourite sent is the Green Fig room spray and oil burner oil. It reminds me so much of my nans house, which is where I spend the majority of my time all year round, let alone during winter.

4. Best lipstick?

I like to go for dark lipsticks in the autumn period. My favourite lipstick during this season is Chanel Rouge Allure in Prodigious.

5. Go to moisturiser?

My 'go to moisturiser' is the moisturiser that I go to all year round. It is the Soap and Glory Body Milk in Smoothie Star. It has a cookie and cream scent, and it smells so yummy that I just want to eat it!

6. Go to colour for the eyes?

I like a subtle, brown smokey eye for the eyes in the autumn period. This is because it adds character to outfits and makes the face look fit for autumn. It looks so much better with dark lipsticks too.

7. Favourite music/band to listen to?

I don't necessarily have a favourite band that I like to listen too. It just depends what music is on the radio, or who I have taken an appeal to!

8. Favourite outfit to wear?

I like the classic 'jeans and jumper' kinda outfit. I would make this complete with either loafers or boots, and a duffle coat. I would probably also add a snood or a standard scarf, gloves and a head warmer. :)

9. Autumn treat?

I love a good bowl of popcorn in the autumn time! I don't know why, but it is the perfect seasonal comfort food whilst painting your nails or reading a book!

10. Favourite place to be?

My all-time favourite place to be is my nans house. This is because I find it so calming and serene here. I would say that it is my happy place.
