The Autumn Tag

Hey guys, thought I'd do a nice Autumn-themed post today as I don't think I've really talked too much about Autumn on here and I think this tag is really sweet - even if we're already two months into Autumn. I haven't been tagged by anyone but I got the questions from Alice Anne's Autumn Tag so you should go and check that out!

1. What is your favourite drink from a coffee shop?

I'm kind of ashamed to say that I'm not really a hot drinks person but I do like hot chocolate once it's cooled down to be more like lukewarm chocolate. That does kind of defeat the point though, so I may have to try and drink one properly soon. An incident with hot chocolate spillages in a friend's dad's study kind of puts me off though, don't want to make an idiot of myself like that again!

2. What accessories do you tend to opt for?
I think that beanie hats are super cute, going to have to try and make them work this year!

3. What is your favourite music to listen to?
Is it too early to say that I really want to listen to Christmas music? Because that's my answer.

4. What is your favourite scent at this time of the year?
In terms of perfume or any kind of body spray I don't really pick scents based on what season it is but I do really love the slightly more musky or spicy smells as it gets into Autumn.

5. What scents will you be burning at this time of year?
Not sure yet, I'm still using up some other candles! Any recommendations would be welcome, although I smelled a really nice one in Next so might pop back in there for my Autumn candle.

6. What do you love best about Autumn?
Getting to wear my boots again!

7. What is your favourite Autumn make up look?
I'm a big fan of darker lips - wine reds and berries are particular favourites of mine.

8. What are you looking forward to most this Autumn?
Bonfire night, I love the atmosphere of it! Not a fan of the loud fireworks though, might have to get something to cover my ears...

Thanks for reading,
Eleanor xx

AUTUMN LIPSTICK PICKS

As Summer is pretty much at an end and Autumn (fall) has arrived, everyone is going to be wearing different - most likely darker - lipsticks. Because of that I have decided to make a post showing 3 lipsticks that I'll be wearing throughout Autumn.

Left to right: Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick 107, MAC New York Apple, 17 Mirror Shine Scrumptious

Just a quick note - I've noticed that the lipsticks look a bit more pink in the images I have taken of my lips then they should, the swatches are probably more accurate representations of the colour.

Rimmel  Kate Moss Matte Lipstick (107); Boots; £5.49

A deep, wine red colour. I love this colour and it stays really well. I also think Rimmel is currently on a 2 for £10 offer at Boots - so now would be a good time to buy!

MAC Frost Lipstick (New York Apple); MAC stores or counters; £15.50

Another deep red. This has a slight berry colour which should be great for Autumn and I love it. I also think that it would make a nice Christmas colour.

Seventeen Mirror Shine Lipstick (Scrumptious); Boots; £4.79

Even though this lipstick looks purple (see image at top of post) it doesn't come out quite the way you expect. It has a glossy finish and looks like a purple-toned red. I'd say that it's fairly sheer so would not make the lips the most striking part of the make up look.
