Hello everybody!

Welcome back to another blog post of my autumn series that I announced in my recent blog post which, if you haven’t read it already, was all about my autumn skincare. Today is going to be something very new, I am going to go through my every day autumn makeup routine. So if you are a fan of seasonal make up then let me know in the comments down below and might will do this every season. Please note that I am not a professional makeup artist in any way and am not trying to show off my products, I’m mainly doing this because I am very interested in makeup and because I love to experiment with it. So I’m gonna stop rambling now and get straight on with the makeup!

For my base I used my absolute favourite foundation “Nars Sheer Glow”, although the majority of people switch their foundations in autumn to a more matte to semi-matte foundation I still like to have a chewy and glowy complexion. For concealer I used the “Collection Lasting Perfection” and the”Rimmel Wake Me Up” concealer, both are, again, my absolute favourite ones! I used these two under my eyes, down the bridge of my nose and my forehead, for any blemishes I used the “Mac Studio Finish” concealer. I set all of that with my favourite powder the “Bourjois Healthy Balance” powder. 

For bronzer and highlighter I used the Sleek “Contour Kit" and for blusher I used the Benefit “Rockateur", just so my skin doesn't look as pale as I am and to get a natural looking flush on my cheeks.

For my brows I used the shade "Frisk" out of my "Urban Decay Naked 2 Basics" Palette and then to set them into place I used Loreal's "Brow Artist Plumper" in Dark. Please excuse my brows but I am growing them out so that means no plugging, which is hard but I'm going strong!

Last but most certainly not least, we have lips here I wanted to give you different options. Personally I would wear this kind of look with a nude lip but you can definitely switch things up and wear a muted pink shade or if you feeling seriously brave go ahead and wear a read lip!

Tanya Burr's Cosmetics Lipgloss "Chic"

Mac Lip Liner"Edge to Edge" with Urban Decay Naked Lipgloss "Liar"

Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick "107"

And that is the finished makeup look, I do hope that you liked this new idea, and if any of you recreate this look make sure to send me those!

Hello there!

I am very excited to announce that I’ll be doing an autumn series, as I am probably the biggest autumn freak EVER (!). Basically that means that I will be uploading 4 – 5 blog post based around the autumnal season, whether it being fashion related, a recipe, etc. there will be a variation of lots of different things here on my blog, so there should be something for everyone’s cup of tea!

And today I’m gonna jump right into this seasonal theme and will be starting with skincare.

Now skincare has got to be one of my favourite things ever to experiment with and to do at night time. Don’t you just love the feeling after you’ve taken off your make-up to put on your skincare?, there is just something so satisfying about it that makes me feel good. But, with the season change the weather changes, and if weather changes your skin does too and requires different things then in the summer. So that means that you have to adjust your skincare to the weather as well as you are changing your clothes, yes it's that important! Here I have listed my personal favourite products for the colder months:

Moisturiser: Origins “Make A Different +”

This is my absolute favourite moisturiser of all time, I have been repurchasing this for many years now as it is just so moisturising but has such a light texture that you barely notice it on your skin. I would even say that for the oilier skins out there it could still be great, as I have an oily T-zone myself and it’s not irritating nor making me oilier at all.

Eye Cream: Kiehl’s “Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado”

Best eye cream you can ever come across, it’s so creamy, as the name would suggest and super hydrating. Great for sensitive eyes as well as it doesn’t have any harsh ingredients in it that could make you react allergic to it. Again one of my favourite’s and the best one for the winter months!

Oil/Serum: Kiehl’s “Midnight Recovery Concentrate”:

If you fancy a lot of extra hydration to your already very hydrating moisturiser than this is the one to go for, it’s seriously hydrating but without being too heavy on your skin. Though it still is a bit too much for my skin type, as I already mentioned I do have an oily T-zone and not very dry skin, so my skin doesn’t need that much hydration. I still use it once a week for a moisture kick to plump my skin and I like it for its phenomenal ingredients as it makes the texture of your skin go so smooth!

Treatment: Kiehl’s “Cleary Corrective Dark Spot Solution”

Longest name ever, and it claims to do wonders. So I can’t tell you a lot about this yet, as I have only been trying it out for two weeks by now, the only thing that I can say though is that I have noticed a difference already. I have really bad scaring and thought that nothing can help to beat that, as I have tried a lot of different things that claim to help with scaring but nothing seemed to help, so I am excited about trying this one out!

Now that’s going to be it for today, I do hope that I could help any of you that are maybe in need of a few new skincare products, if you have tried one of them out already or you want to add something to what I said then leave your opinion down below in the comments and if you got anything that you think I might like, then leave that down below as well I welcome any good suggestions!
