The Autumn Tag

I am just really excited for Autumn apparently. I saw this tag on Makeup Savvy's Blog and I couldn't resist answering the questions myself. Here are the questions if you would like to give it a go yourself and here are my answers :)

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

I love coffee! Even when it's boiling hot I have to have my coffee everyday. During fall, I either make my own coffee by boiling milk and adding Nescafe in it or I get my favourite drink from Starbucks which is White Chocolate Mocha.

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

Love combining outfits with a cute scarf. It doesn't have to be a winter scarf that protects you from the cold, I usually go for some thin scarves which are just really big and heavy looking.(worst description of scarves... Basically like the ones on the photo at the top of the post)

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

My music doesn't change that often, my mood rarely depends on seasons but during school time I usually go for Indie songs, basically slower songs. 

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

I love musky scents during this time of the year and I was obsessed with one of friends perfume last year which was Montale - Black Musk so I will be purchasing that one. However currently I'm using and loving Flowerbomb by Victor Rolf.

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

My all time favourite candle which is the Yankee Candle Chocolate Layer Cake. It is a chocolate lovers dream candle! Smells amazing and the box is huge so I couldn't finish it last year so this year I will keep burning that one(In my own house!!!!)

6. What do you love most about Autumn?

First of all, I love the weather. It's not too warm but it's not too cold yet either. The perfect balance in my opinion. I also love the warm, cosy clothes I get to wear in my house when it's late at night so the weather is slightly chilly. I know it sounds like the biggest cliche but I just love having a green tea in my hand and just write stuff on my laptop or just watch tons of TV shows.

7. Favourite makeup look?

I'm going to be on the boring side again and say, I love doing my thick cat flick, put loads of volumizing mascara and wear a bold lip. I already talked about my favourite autumn lipsticks on my previous post so you can get an idea from there. I also go for coral or pink blushes during this time of the year.

8. What are you looking forward to most in Autumn?

It feels so weird saying this but I can't wait until my classes begin! I love summer and relaxing and everything but I really love university and I can't wait to go back for my second year and kick some ass. Plus it is always so much fun to be in the campus, never a dull moment!

Top 5 Autumn Lipsticks

Most bloggers start this post with either saying how sad they are that summer is coming to an end or how excited they are that fall is near. I however do not know which side to pick. I was always the girl who counted down until it was summer, I was sad when I had to pack away my shorts and my summer dresses, I always loved summer a lot more than fall and winter. However, this year my summer was very hectic and I had to deal with loads of things so it didn't go as planned. I'm pretty sure at the end of this month everything will fall into place more and I will be able to breathe again. 

All that rambling was supposed to be the introduction paragraph for my autumn lipstick picks... I realise it doesn't seem like it yet but bear with me. I love wearing lipsticks during summer and the good thing about a tan is that I don't need any base products or blusher, I just put on my lipstick and do a liner and I'm done. I do think lipsticks look so much better on paler skin tones though. That is why I can't wait until my tan wears off so I can wear my Top 5 Autumn Lipsticks!

Nars Pure Matte Lipstick in Mascate

I love wearing a bold lipstick when it's colder and these five lipsticks are my go-to lipsticks for many reasons. They all have very great pigmentation, all of them are opaque, very good colour pay off. The formulas are not drying for me. There are 3 shiny/non-matte lipsticks which are Kate Moss 20, MAC Rebel and Maybelline. All of them stay very well on the lips for a long time and especially MAC leaves a stain on your lips even after you take off the lipstick which is pretty amazing in my opinion. The matte ones are obviously a lot more stronger when it comes to the staying power. I love the shape of the Nars lipstick since it makes it so much easier to apply without needing a lip pencil(which is something i never use.). Mascate and 107 are pretty a like when it comes to their shade but Mascate is a few shades lighter. I know people mostly go for darker colours during winter times but I love the dark pink colour of Rimmel's 20. I already wrote a review of MAC Rebel which you can read here. Another different shade is the Maybelline one. As others are more red and pink shades, this one stands out to me. It has red in its name but instead of red it has more of a dark brown feel to it. Kind of like a similar version of what Kylie Jenner wears... tad bit darker than that though.
