Sorry for such a massive gap between my
posts I've been finding it really hard to find the time between moving and
starting uni, but I've just been finding it hard to start a post in general,
but hopefully this won't be a regular occurrence. Anyway back to the actual
post, I've seen a few girls on YouTube do this tag and I thought I’d do one
myself. I'm obsessed with nail polishes so I found it pretty hard to get it
down to just five polishes, but I think I've chosen some good ones.
First off is Nails
Inc. Basil Street, this is one of my all-time favourites , it’s such a great
nude colour and suits my skin tone perfectly, is great colour to transition
between summer and autumn.
Next is a new
purchase and is Essie's cascade cool which is a perfect blue tone pink and
makes me feel like Barbie, I am so in love with this colour. Although not a
typical autumn colour, it’s a great way to perk up dull and rainy days.
My third choice is
Barry M's red black which is another go to shade for me it's a perfect dark red
colour you can wear with any outfit and is the most typical autumn winter shade
out of my selection.
I've slightly
cheated with my next choice as I've chosen a duo of colours, 17 Fast Finish in
the shade Baked Cherry with a top coat of Katy Perry for O.P.I in the colour
"Not Like the Movies". I think this creates the perfect autumn
combination as it just reminds me of Christmas and gets me excited for that
time of the year and the two polishes complement each other perfectly.
The last polish is
another Katy Perry for O.P.I, called E.T and is an amazing metallic green
colour but has that really pretty rainbow tint to it that a lot of nail
varnishes have at the moment. It's so tricky to explain but just take a look at
Topshop's latest nail collection and you'll know exactly what I mean.
I hope you enjoyed
this post and sorry again for the lack of posts hopefully I’ll get back into
the swing of things. Let me know what your favourite autumn nail varnish picks
are.

1. Essie - Fiji nail polish
Most beauty bloggers have had this as part of their monthly
favourite for the last couple of months so it's been a slightly tricky polish
to get hold of and you can see why. It's such a lovely nude shade perfect for
the summer; it'll look great with a tan (if England ever gets any sun) and will
go well with all your outfits and jewellery, as you won't have an issue with
clashing colours.
2. Benefit - Hoola bronzer
Just like the NARS Laguna bronzer this has been on my imaginary
beauty wish list for a while, after using at a friend’s house when I was 16 and I
have wanted it ever since! I love benefit's vintage packaging and just the name sounds appealing.
3. Marc Jacobs - Dot fragrance
This is the latest fragrance by Marc Jacobs and is already
causing quite a stir on blogs; it's said to have notes of dragon fruit, red
berries, honeysuckle and a hint of coconut. The scent is perfect for summer as
it's so fruity and apparently has a real beachy and exotic feel to it. I really
dislike the smell of coconut but I’m intrigued to smell this as the notes are
an interesting combination, not to mention it has such a gorgeous bottle!
4. the Balm - Nude
‘tude Eyeshadow Palette
the Balm is an American brand who similarly to Benefit have
amazing vintage/retro style packaging, which is what first caught my eye and intrigued
me to look further into the brand. This palette was the first product I had
heard about from the brand and I think if I was to buy anything from them it
would be this! Online the palette has been compared to the Urban Decay Naked palette
as it is based around nude/neutral shades. It's quite expensive but has been
rated quite highly on beauty sites, so I think it's definitely a good
investment piece!
5. Make up Forever - Full Cover Concealer
Again another American brand and product that seems to be
very popular with beauty bloggers, I’ve not heard many bad things about Make Up
Forever other than that the products are hard to get hold of for UK buyers and
that when choosing a shade for your skin they can darken once applied, so be
wary of that! The concealer is supposed to be a really amazing full coverage
and buildable concealer. I'm really into my concealers and I’m always looking
for new ones to try so I’m definitely going to have to try this one!
6. Tesco - Tired leg spray
Makeup artist Hayley Fell posted this on her Instragram and
as I currently work in retail I am not stranger to getting tired legs after
working 9 hour shifts. So I was intrigued to see what this was and if it
actually works and apparently it does and is only £3 from Tesco's!
