Autumn Favourites!

I'M BACK!!!! *que round of applause*

Hi, Hello, Bonjour, Hola, Ciao, Hallo (etc).
For my first blog back; from what seems like months, I'm going to do an Autumns favourites post!!
I'm going to get straight to the point. This has everything in it so it's really just a random selection of things I've been loving not specifically fashion/makeup.


MUSIC FAVOURITE(S) OF SEPTEMBER/AUTUMN:

I have so many music favourites but I'm just going to chose my top two which is still hard!!

My first music favourite is by OneRepublic and it's Counting Stars. I've been really loving this song and when it comes on the radio or tv I just can't help myself and I have to sing a long to it.


Next up I am loving Berzerk by Eminem. I have always loved Eminem and can never really fault any of the musics he makes because there's just something about it I love. This is probably his most well known newest pieces that everyone's listening to and I just keep on hearing it and have to stop what I'm doing to listen! Coincidentally I have been listening to this whilst writing this blog post.


I could write the longest list of the songs I've been loving forever but that would take a whole week!


MAKEUP FAVOURITES:

Of course because it's Autumn I have to have some makeup to match the weather.
I haven't actually brought these specifically for Autumn but I have them and they suit what's on trend for makeup this Autumn so I thought it's better than having to buy some new makeup...... Although this would be a good excuse.

First up is a Maybelline Color Tattoo in On and On Bronze.
I've had this product for a few months now and haven't really used it too much until it has come to Autumn because I thought it was quite dark for an everyday Summer look but it's the perfect colour for an Autumn everyday look.

On and On Bronze swatch.

As the name tells us this a bronze colour with small little sparkles of silver running through it. When you apply the colour you can either apply it lightly for just a little bronze shimmer or you can apply quite a lot to create a bronze smokey eye. The colour is so pigmented as you can see from the picture, so you can actually see it on the lid unlike some products like this. The colour lasts all day although does fade a little throughout the day but not by much because you can still it when you take it off that night.

Another Autumn makeup favourite of mine is Topshop's lipstick in Beguiled.

I really, really love this lipstick! I can't tell you how much I love it, it's brilliant. It's the perfect Autumn colour, it's a lovely wine/burgandy colour with some purple running through it. The lipstick is very pigmented and suits any skin tone. I'm pale and so dark or bright lipsticks don't usually suit me but this is perfect and that's one of the reasons I love it. On the website it's described as a lipstick that is a little matte but still have that satin shine and I think that is truly what it's like, it's not drying at all and it stays on the lips all day. Once you take it off it leaves a little colour like it stains the lips but it's honestly barely noticeable.
I couldn't even get a decent swatched photo of this because the lighting is terrible but imagine the picture on the right with a little bit more of plum running through it and BAM! That's what Beguiled looks like. I wish I could get a decent swatched photo of this because I know you'd fall in love with it like I have.

Finally my last makeup favourite is a blusher. I was surprised this was in my favourites because I don't really wear blushers/don't really like blushers because I think they're such a hard product to work with and get right. If I do buy a blusher on the rare occasion I will go for a cream one but this one is not!
This blusher is from Bourjois and it is in the shade Rose Thé.
Not only do I love the colour of the blush I love the smell. Obviously Bourjois is a French named brand (i really hope it is) anyway, the smell of this blush reminds me of France. It has a very musky floral smell to it and I don't know why that reminds me of France but it does.



I really love the shade. When you apply it, it looks like a matte blusher but in the pot it has little bits of shimmer in it. The photo does it no justice and doesn't really show it's true colour. In the photo it looks like a peachy, coral colour but swatched on my hand it's a very light plum shade and that's one of the resason it's so perfect for Autumn because plum is such an Autumn colour.



CLOTHES FAVOURITES:

There is so much in my Autumn clothes favourite I don't know how I'm going to narrow this down but I'll stick to a minimum of two.

For Autumn I have been currently loving denim pinafores. Now I personally love the straight skirt/bottom part ones rather than the skater skirt bottom one's, I don't know why I just think they look a little better.
The first time I saw the denim pinafore's were in Topshop but I was unsure whether I wanted one because I didn't know whether they'd go with anything. So I waited it out but suddenly I had the urge to buy one and I was in primark one day and say it in front of me for the cheap price of £12.00 and I just had to get it! And I'm so glad I brought it because it's amazing. Now I don't actually have a picture of mine and I have terrible photography skills so I'm going to cheat and find one from the internet.

So this is the exact same pinafore as I have and it's amazing!
It is so worth the price of £12.00 and it looks amazing on. I pair mine with a thick white jumper or if it's a warmer day (I wish) I just pair it with a stripy top or a plain top. Anyone can pull this off and it's such an easy and simple look for those days when you can't be bothered but you want to look like you've put effort in.


My second clothes favourite is Tartan Trews (trousers).
These are the exact tartan trousers I got. I got mine from River Island for £30.00 but I personally think they are so worth the money. They are straight leg trousers and I really love these fits of trousers. I pair mine with either a white knitted jumper or a baggy black top tucked in and an oversized cardigan thrown over the top.
Tartan seems to be really in this Autumn and every seems to be selling tartan. This is great because I've always loved tartan materials, I just think tartan is a really nice pattern and it can be pulled off by anyone because it's not a shouty out pattern (if that makes sense). I prefer the dark bluey green tartan to the red one but I don't really care because I just love the pattern. I definitely think it is worth investing in a pair or tartan trousers or a tartan dress or skirt etc because they are so in this Autumn for fashion, pair them with a plain top and chunky boot and you;re away!


So..... That's finally it for my Autumn Favourites although looking over it, it seems more like a monthly favourites post.
I really enjoy doing these sorts of post just to share with you what I'm loving at the moment. Oh how cheesy of me.

Thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed. :)
