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!

Bioderma Sensibio Range Review - PR

If you've been around for a long time you'll know Bioderma is one of my favourite skincare brands and they were kind enough to send me their Sensibio range to try out. The Bioderma Sensibio Micellar water needs no introduction. It's a staple in so many makeup artists routines and it's easy to see why. I've gone through so many of these micellar waters and nothing quite compares for me. This is the foundation of my morning skincare and is just enough cleansing without stripping my face. It's such a beautiful formula that leaves my skin looking super refreshed. I also received a few goodies I haven't tried before including the Sensibio eye contour gel . This really surprised me as I usually steer towards creams when it comes to eye cream, but I was super impressed with the gel. It feels more like a creamy gel and glides beautifully under the eyes and makes the perfect base for concealer. I've actually been using this in the morning as I find the gel i...

Fenty Beauty Sun Stalk'r Bronzer - Pale Skin Review

I had been dying to purchase one of these bronzers since they came out and after months of resisting finally caved in! There are 8 shades which is great as there is a large range to choose from, depending on how you like your bronzer. Naturally I am quite pale and for reference I am the shade 120 in the Fenty Foundation and 150 Buff in Revlon's colour stay foundation, and even in summer, I never really change that much from these shades. From being so pale, the fear of the bronzer is real, I haven't found any that look natural and don't leave me looking orange, muddy, or like i have a some kind of smudge on my face. So I decided to try the lightest bronzer Fenty Beauty had to offer, Inda Sun. From swatching the shade appears pretty neutral and light, it doesn't have a red undertone that can leave pale skin looking orange. I also love the gold packaging and how luxury and sleek it feels. I used the same brush I would normally use for bronzer which is my real tech...

Isle Of Paradise Self- Tanning Water Review

So throughout the year, I am pretty much Casper the ghost when it comes to having a tan and when summer comes round, I just can't face my translucent legs any longer... bring on the tan! So usually my go to is Bondi Sands, but I was just drawn to the uniqueness of the tanning mist! This comes in three colours, designed to match your skin tone which is pretty cool, there's a pink (light) , green (medium) and purple (dark). I am pale but have an olive undertone to my skin so decided to go for medium because usually the lightest ones don't show up on my skin particularly well. So I did all the usual steps of tanning, 24 hours earlier I exfoliated my skin and moisturised (especially around my ankles and wrists) and then I got down to actually applying it. When you spray this stuff, you're supposed to spray it from a reasonable distance and just keep spritzing until you're basically soaked in the stuff. I had a really hard time getting this to work and I was so dis...
