Autumn Makeup Wishlist

Hey guys!

So autumn has to be my favourite season. I love getting to wear cosy jumpers and scarves as well as knee high socks before it gets to cold! It's also so much easier to wear a vampy lip which I love!

My autumn wishlist is full of products that are perfect for creating a darker, seasonal look.

ABH Modern Renaissance Palette

The Modern Renaissance palette is a must have! Consisting of warm tone (mainly matte) shadows, it is perfect for autumnal smokey eyes!

I have seen so many bloggers and vloggers use this palette and I just need to add it to my collection!

Modern Renaissance is available from Anastasia Beverly Hills for $42 + shipping, although it's currently out of stock.

MAC Copper Sparkle Pigment

Okay so this one is slightly cheating because I already own it but I love it! MAC's Copper Sparkle is the perfect pop of colour to any autumnal look. Think matte berry lip, matte black liner and black cut crease with copper sparkle on the lid. It sounds like the perfect combination and definitely something I'll be doing soon!

Copper Sparkle is available from Brown Thomas for €22.

E.L.F  Studio Baked Highlighter - Blush Gems

Autumn is the time for a warmer toned highlighter and I love e.l.f's baked highlighter in Blush Gems! Elf is a little hard to get in Ireland, what I always do is use parcel motel and get it delivered to Northern Ireland then onto Dublin through parcel motel which can get annoying but it works!

Blush Gems is available from ELF for roughly €5.20 + shipping.

Dose of Colors Berry Me

Dose of Colors' matte liquid lipsticks are gorgeous and I love this shade! It is perfect when you want the lips to be the focus of the look and you can pair it with winged liner for a gorgeous autumnal look!

Berry Me is available from BeautyBay for €16.90.

L'Oreal Miss Manga Punky Mascara

I love slightly clumpy lashes during the colder months and I cannot explain why, I just do. This mascara is perfect for achieving that look as it is buildable. I cannot wait to repurchase it soon!

Miss Manga Punky is available from Boots for €11.99.

Top 5 Autumn Lip Shades

Hey guys!

I love summer as much as anyone but there's something about sweater weather, knee high socks and dark, autumnal lips. I'm no stranger to a dark lip and will always have one in my bag during the colder months. 

I own a fair few dark lipsticks but my these shades will always be my top picks! 

(Swatches from T-B: Seduction, Perrie, Vamp. 293, Stone)

Collection Gothic Glam - Seduction

I bought all of Collections Gothic Glam lipsticks last year and Seduction is definitely my favourite shade by far. I would definitely recommend using a lip brush and lining your lips with the lipstick before going in for full coverage. If you don't do this, the colour will seep past your lip line! 

Other than that, Seduction is one of my favourite lipsticks to wear during the colder months. It lasts most of the day and for €3.99 the quality is pretty good!

Collection Little Mix  - Perrie

Unfortunately this lipstick is no longer available as it was a limited edition and I had to wait ages to get my hands on it - it was always sold out!

Perrie's lipstick is a warm toned purple, perfect all year round but it looks fabulous with a thick knitted jumper and scarf. 

Sleek - Vamp

Sleek's Vamp is the perfect lipstick for a matte, vampy lip. The formula glides on well provided you exfoliate your lips beforehand!

It's a deep red shade and looks absolutely gorgeous with winged eyeliner and an everyday makeup look. 

Vamp is available from Boots for €6.99.

Inglot Lipstick - Shade 293

Okay so I am an absolute Inglot addict. I love their AMC foundation, lipsticks, lip liners and eyeshadow. Basically the whole store....

I got this lipstick almost two years ago now and it's nearly gone, I'll definitely be repurchasing it as soon as I run out! It's a deep purple shade and it glides on very well if you exfoliate beforehand. This long-lasting lipstick is perfect for the autumn and winter months and I will never get bored of the colour.

Shade 293 is available from Inglot store nationwide and online for €15.

MAC - Stone

MAC's Stone is a gorgeous neutral taupe matte lipstick. It took me a few months to get my hands on it as it was always sold out but I love it so much! The wait was definitely worth it!

Stone goes perfectly with a brown smokey eye and I cannot wait to use it over the next few months. 

MAC's Stone is available from Brown Thomas for €20.

I have so many lipsticks that I absolutely love wearing during the autumn and winter months, the list is endless!

Fall into Autumn

After experiencing somewhat of an Indian summer over the past few weeks, it is finally starting to get chilly and it's officially sweater weather!

One of my favourite drinks to have as a treat over the weekend or on a bad day is my Starbucks inspired Apple Spice. The recipe is so quick and simple that it will be a staple in your Autumn routine!

To start, I made the syrup. All you have to do is put half a teaspoon of brown sugar, a tablespoon of water and a quarter teaspoon of cinnamon into a bowl and stir. Microwave this for about thirty seconds, stir again and leave it to the side to cool. 

Then pour your apple juice into whatever cup you're using (I used a mason jar because they're so cute!) and microwave this until you have it at a temperature you like. I microwaved mine for two minutes. Add your syrup to the juice and stir everything together.

To finish it off, add some whipped cream, sprinkle some cinnamon on top and enjoy!

This drink is so easy to make and it makes me feel so warm and fuzzy after I drink it!

What are some of your favourite Autumn drinks?

Have you tried my recipe?
