Autumn

Hello everyone!
So today I thought as it is the last day of October, I thought it is the perfect time to do my October favourites! I cannot believe how fast it has gone however I am very excited that we are going into November as I have some excited stuff planned!

So first is my new coat which I absolutely L O V E! I have needed a new coat for ages but didn't want to spend a lot so this H&M one was so perfect!It was £39.99 which I personally think is a bargain and a half! I got this in store as I couldn't find it online however they have the black one online which is just as nice! But anyway on with the coat...
I love the colour of it as it is not a bright khaki but it is the perfect subtle khaki which I love. Also the fur around the hood is the perfect amount as it doesn't drown you but still isn't too little, if you get what I mean! Also the pockets have a fur lining inside which is just to die for! Just this coat is my favourite thing ever at the moment! And there will be an outfit post with this in coming up so there will be some better photos of it coming, as the photos I took for this don't really do it justice!

Also a snack I have loved this month is the Bear Raspberry Yo Yo. I have only recently tried these but I absolutely love them. It's made completely by fruit and nothing added which I love as it's so healthy. I love eating healthy as it makes me feel much better in myself and I think having a healthy is always a good alternative, although saying that I eat so much chocolate!! They are super affordable which is so good as for a tasty snack, it needs to be cheap! Also you can find them in lots of supermarkets which is great as it's practical for on the go.
I definitely want to try some more products from Bear, as I personally love healthy snacks and they are something little but are the perfect snack! Also I love the packaging of these and would for sure try them if you see them.

Thirdly is a new lip product of mine which is a W7 Lip Liner in the shade 'Nude Dude'. I have only used it once yet which was with my Autumn Smoky Eye but I think this will be used again for a perfect autumn look. I used it all over my lips and I was really impressed as it was so balmy and very comfortable to wear. It is a really nice nude but on the lips does look quite natural on. I love how it matches a smoky eye really well and is a tiny bit dark which makes it perfect for autumn! I also would love to find the perfect lip stick to match this as I love the colour and is the best autumn nude shade!

I know it will pair perfectly with a dark gloss and the quality really surprised my for W7!
Also I got this for only £1.99 which is such a good price and next time I come across them again I will be picking some more up for sure!

Next is a brush set I have been obsessed with! This is the Real techniques Sculpting Set. Seriously, everyone needs these brushes in their life! Like all Real Technique brushes they are amazing quality and cannot be faulted! I love each brush out of this collection and use them whenever I do my makeup!
The sculpting brush is perfect for contour and is unbelievably soft! This is probably the softest brush I own. It is really dense which makes it perfect for applying bronzer. Even though I am not a heavy contour person, I still find this brush really easy and useful.

Next in the set is the fan brush which has been a brush I always find very aesthetically pleasing (don't ask why?!) so since I got this I have loved it! Again it is so so soft and I love using it for defining my highlight. The bristles pick up the product really well and as it is really loose and flexible it makes it easy to apply.

Lastly in this set, is my personal favourite, the setting brush. I use this for highlight but it is also perfect for concealer. I cannot explain how much I love this brush! It packs on the highlight and yet again is so so so soft!!! It has the perfect density and could not be better for it's role! It is definitely a key item in my makeup and I love it!

They are all my October Favourites and I love them all so much! I am sorry it is quite short but I wanted to publish it today so I made it work! I hope you all have enjoyed my Autumn week, I definitely have enjoyed it and even though it is over I will be back tomorrow for a weekly outfit post! I have enjoyed this a lot and I hope I can do a week in December or in January so you can looks forward to that!
Big thank you to all of you lovelies!

Autumn Nail Looks

By Kate - 19:19:00

Hello Everyone!
So I am back for another daily post and today I am going to be talking about my fave nail varnish's which are absolutely perfect for autumn! I am obsessed with having my nails painted and I hate how I can't paint them for school (cry), however it makes it super nice for weekends and half terms!

Sinful Colours Vacation Time Nail Varnish

So first off is probably my all time favourite varnish. I got this in June this year so fairly new in terms of nail varnish. This is from Sinful Colours and is the shade 'Vacation time'. I got this from Superdrug for £2, which is such a good buy! Also you get 15ml in the bottle which is a lot more than your average varnish. This is such a good quality varnish as one coat can do the job which I think is perfect if you only need it to last for a couple of days.
What makes me adore this, is obviously the colour! It is the perfect brown toned nude with a hint of pink! This is my perfect colour and when I spotted it in Superdrug there was no hesitation in buying it! I cannot fault this at all and basically everyone needs it in their life! Honestly go and buy it now (but obvs read all of this first ;) ).

So next is a completely different shade but still one I love! This is the Nails Inc Marylebone Mews. The unfortunate thing about this is that it was a special for a magazine so I couldn't find it online, cry. However I am sure there is other shade just like this out there!
So I love this as it is a bit different but still not wacky or anything weird! It's a really pretty grey colour with the perfect glossy shine. It's the ideal neutral colour and although it's quite suttle, I think it can add lots of detail to an outfit! And as all of Nails Inc nail varnishes, it has the best quality and never seems to chip! The only thing with this colour is, with one coat it tends to be quite patchy but with a second coat it is flawless and bold!

Thirdly is a nail varnish I have had for at least two years now! Should probably renew it... But this is from Topshop and is the shade 'Suffuse' (201). (The shade linked is not the same name but the colour legit looks identical.)
If this shade isn't perfect for Christmas, then I don't know what is!! This is the ideal festive colour and is the colour I have never gone a Christmas without wearing! It it a glittery gold but not a horrible 10 year old glitter!! I love this as with two coats it is gorgeous and stunning!! (Yes, I am still describing a nail varnish)! One coat is enough but who doesn't want full on glam on their nails with one more coat hey? The only thing I could fault about this is the price as it is £6 which is okay, however in the drugstore most nail varnishes are sold for around £3 or £4 so I think it is a tiny bit overpriced.

Lastly is my all time favourite dark colour. It is 'Black Cherries' (345) by Rimmel. I have always loved this colour as it's a really dark varnish but still not black. It is a very dark purple with a little tint of red. It does look like a black shade on the picture but it doesn't look it in real life. I think this is perfect for autumn and winter and I love having a change from a classic coral or bright summer colour. And whenever I have this one, I feel so autumnal which everyone loves!

Also for £2.99 for a very quality nail varnish is an easy decision! Also I love Rimmel's 60 seconds nail varnish range as they do dry so quickly! However I always seem to chip them quite easily but I always tend to put a thick two coats on or put a top coat on.

So that is it for today! These are my four most used nail varnishes in the autumn and winter seasons! I have to say my favourite has to be my Sinful Colours one so that would have to be my first to recommend. Also Sinful Colours have such a wide range of colours all for a cheap price, so I would for sure buy one (or a couple) for this season!
Thank you all for reading!
