Autumn/Fall Makeup Essentials

Autumn is well and truly under way and although my makeup doesn't really change from summer to autumn, I definitely make a few swaps in order to feel a bit more seasonal! The best thing about autumn is warm tones! My favourite colours, that look just like the leaves and all things pumpkin spice!

1. IT COSMETICS CC CREAM
I tend to try and not wear foundation in autumn because my skin freaks a bit with the change in weather. This provides the perfect amount of coverage, whilst looking undetectable and natural on the skin. I have done a review on this CC cream so I'm not going to say too much about it, but I love this for autumn weather!

2. GLOSSIER STRETCH CONCEALER (LIGHT)
Once again I think this is perfect for transitioning to the colder months. It isn't heavy around my eyes and I think of it more as a tinted eye cream than a heavy duty concealer! This is perfect for a minimal makeup look and for a quick college makeup look, that just looks polished.

3. BOBBI BROWN CORRECTOR (PORCELAIN BISQUE)
This has been a recent addition to my collection and I have used it every single day since I bought it! It is a little pricey... but it is the only colour corrector I have ever used that has actually worked. I use this on my dark circles, as the early college starts are taking their toll. This instantly makes me look more awake and like I haven't been up all night finishing coursework.

4.BOBBI BROWN BLUSH (CORAL SUGAR)
In autumn I ditch the liquid and cream blush and return to my trusty powders! This is a soft pink and gives a nice pop to my pale skin (mourning the loss of my summer tan). It isn't too pigmented and can be built up to look more intense.

5.GLOSSIER HALOSCOPE (QUARTZ)
By now it probably comes as no surprise that glossier is one of my all time fave brands. Haloscope is the perfect highlight to catch that evening autumn sun and give you that golden hour glow all day. I love this because it doesn't look chalky and is one of the most beautifully subtle highlights I've ever seen.

6.URBAN DECAY PETITE HEAT PALETTE
I.Love.Warm.Tones... This palette is everything! I find larger palettes can be intimidating and just confusing, so I love palettes like these where they contain only the essentials. This fits in my makeup bag and contains the most beautiful warm tones. Urban decay are my go to for eye shadows. I love the flow of the palettes and think you can make so many combinations with the colours!

7. MAYBELLINE SUPERSTAY MATTE INK (FIGHTER)
This colour looks orange but is really a warm brown with an orange undertone. The colour reminds me of pumpkins and the trees and just makes me feel so seasonal. The maybelline liquid lipsticks are a favourite of mine because they really do last all day. I don't need to touch it up at college, but it still looks amazing!

June Empties

I can't believe another month has rolled around and it's time for another monthly empties review. I got through six products this month (I know, I'm proud) and it was a bit of a mix of everything; Haircare, Skincare and makeup. Firstly, I used up my La Roche Posay Anthelios Ultra Sensitive SPF 50 Sunscreen. This isn't my favourite SPF but it does do the job. I wear three pumps of this on my face every day and it has lasted about 3 months. I think the formula is ok it can feel a bit sticky and takes a while to sink in but it isn't my favourite but it isn't a product I don't like. I have repurchased this, because SPF is THE most important part of my skincare routine and when I ran out I knew I could run to Superdrug and repurchase this, because I did not want to go without. Secondly, I finished my Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation. I cannot remember the last time I finished a foundation! This is, without a doubt, my favourite drugstore foundation. It bl...

July Empties

Ahhh another month another empties blog. I actually got through quite a bit of makeup this month, which is unusual for me as it's usually skincare I crank through. The first product I used up was my beloved Glossier Futuredew. I didn't realise how much I loved this until it was gone. My makeup feels so much different without this as a base and I do miss it as part of my makeup routine. I have a few other primers to get through but I will definitely repurchase this one in the future. The second product I used was my benefit liquid eyeliner. I did like this liner; it's opaque, the felt tip is quite nice and it lasted such a long time before drying up. I do prefer brush tipped eyeliners as I find with hooded eyes my winged eyeliner always looks a lot more precise than with a pen style. So I purchased the KVD liquid eyeliner instead, but the benefit eyeliner is great just not my favourite. My third empty is my smash box primer water. I adore this spray, it comes out as a f...

Reviewing Bioderma's Hydrabio Range

If you've followed my blog for a few years, you'll know Bioderma is one of my favourite skincare brands. Their Micellar water is a product I refuse to live without and I've gone through too many to count. I was over the moon when Bioderma kindly sent me their Hydrabio Range* to try. The Hydrabio range is aimed at combating dehydrated, dry, skin, which I'm especially prone to in winter. 1. Hydrabio Makeup Removing Micellar Water Now, Bioderma's Sensibio micellar water is a holy grail skincare product in my collection. Believe it or not, I didn't realise Bioderma did other varieties of micellar water for different skin concerns. I've been using the Hydrabio micellar water for a few days and I do find my skin feels more hydrated and plump, compared to the sensibio one. It removes makeup just as well as the Sensibio micellar water and I find the Hydrabio micellar water to be a little more gentle and soothing. I would definitely repurchase the Hydrabio version in...
