Autumn Tag

Hey all! I seen this tag on Pilar's page over at plovesfashion - and because she said she tagged anyone who wanted to do it, I thought why not? 

So... lets get started! :)

1. Favourite thing about autumn?

My absolute favourite thing about autumn is definitely the falling of the leaves! I walk home a lot of the time after college and I love when there's a slight breeze and a few leaves fall around me - I also love the crunch when you walk on them :)

2. Favourite Drink?

My favourite drink is Black Cherry Hot Chocolate

3. Favourite scent/candle?

I love any scent that is cinnamon :)

4. Best Lipstick?

This season I'm definitely going for deep plums and reds

5. Favourite go to colour for the eyes?

I love purples and reds

6. Favourite music to listen too?

I don;t have a specific type of music I like to listen too - I listen to all :)

7. Favourite outfit to wear?

I love wet look leggings, a faux fur jacket and a nice t-shirt

8. Autumn Treat?

Ehm, I don't really have one lol 

9. Favourite place to be?

Forest Park :)

I hope you like and I tag everyone who wants to do it! :)

Small Haul

At the weekend I picked up a few items with my birthday money that I thought I would share with you - most of the items are make-up related as always but I hope you like it all the same :)

NYC has came out with a new line of varnishes - these are the Foil Explosion ones which I picked up as they were on offer for only £1.79 

This is the Kate Moss lipstick in 01

I got this jar to hole my eyeshadow brushes in :)

My boyfriend got me this purse as another wee present as my other one broke - I love it! especially the design

I know some people are weird about showing the underwear etc. that they buy - but I just had to show this - looking at it you wouldn't even be able to tell it's from primark! It looks so expensive and fancy that even I was shocked to see it in the store, it was a must!

NYC Nail Varnishes

As I'm sure most of you know by now, I'm a huge lover and believer in drugstore products. In my opinion - I think the majority of the brands/products you can buy in the drugstore are as good as - or even better than the high end products/brands and are obviously much kinder to your purse! 

With that being said, I though I'd share with you one of my favourite brands ever for nail varnishes and that brand is... NYC (New York Colour) I believe this is originally an American brand but as most brands do - they venture out to other countries and can be found mainly in Superdrug in the UK.

This is an image of my NYC nail varnishes - I have 13 colours which I have absolutely adore! There are a few that's perfect for autumn/winter and a few that are perfect for spring/summer. This is one of the main reasons why I love NYC - they bring out different colours for the different seasons which really helps to broaden your collection in size and variety.

If you do have NYC in your local drugstore I would highly recommend you give their polishes a try! :)

What I got for My Birthday :)

I know a lot of people don't like these posts because they think the person is showing off - but I am in no way showing off or trying to make myself look good or whatever - I decided to do this because I myself love watching/ reading these types of posts so.. I hope you like :)

First off I got money from my family members - which I didn't really need to take a picture of because it's pretty self explanatory and my sister got me the Jungle Book :D

My Boyfriend got me -

This bag came with the Katy Perry Perfume

Officially, No Longer a Teenager (ramble)

Well, it's officially my birthday and I'm no longer a teenager (scary) haha. 20 years old - it's weird to think I've been on this planet for twenty years - but hey. who's counting :)

As I get older - what I want in my future gets even more clearer and I know what I have to do in order to get there - which a few years ago, I didn't - so it's nice to have that new clarity - but as my mum always says, I need to act my age and I will - just not yet :D 

One of the downers of today is that - I'm up before everyone else so I won't get my presents until I'm home (sad face) I hope there's cake... anyways, I hope you's all have a great day!

Kit Number 2 :D

Yesterday when I came home from college, there was ANOTHER package waiting there. I was so excited because I knew it was going to be my Eve Taylor Skincare Kit 

I personally, have never heard of Eve Taylor products before - but from looking at the products and testing them out in college - I'm now a huge fan. They each have different ingredients which each add something different to your skin and each have different properties and effects. 

The kit was £47.99 - which for a professional, high end brand and for 6 things, I though was pretty good.

The kit came with (from left to right)

- A soothing Cleanser with Cucumber and Lettuce 

- Soothing Toner with Lavender and Chamomile

- Soothing Masque with Aloe Vera and Camellia 

- Soothing Moisture Lotion with Comfrey and Lavender

- Facial Cleansing Brush

- An Eve Taylor bag to hold the products
