October Beauty Favourites!

Hey beaut's!

October is my all time favourite month, everything is just so autumnal and cosy and Christmas is creeping ever closer which I love, mind you I don't like how quick this month has gone, I'm such an autumnal gal so I would like to cling onto October for a litter longer than 31 days he he! Anywho....it's favourites time again so I thought I'd share what makeup and beauty bits and pieces I've been loving throughout October, theres some good'un's beaut's! 
I have fallen completely in love with my Morphe Fall Into The Frost Palette recently, I may have only had this little beauty for a few weeks but I've been using it every single day without fail and the quality has really impressed me! The palette contains 35 gorgeous warm toned shades that go hand in hand with autumn and the pigmentation and blendability is seriously insane, it's hard to believe the palette only costs £23.00, what a beauty bargain! 
YSL's Black Opium has been my favourite scent all throughout October, its so warm, musky and sexy and it will be perfect for the winter months ahead and the party season too. I've been slathering on Zoella's Winter Wonder Hand - Hand Cream all day everyday recently, yup it's that time again when my poor hands get all dry but Zoella's offering has been keeping all the dryness at bay so far, and it smells incredible which is an added bonus! Going back to the eyes, L'Oreal's Paradise Mascara hasn't left my lashes, oddly when I first tried this back in August I wasn't that bowled over by it, I mean I thought it was a good mascara but it smudged and transferred on me which was annoying so I found myself not reaching for it much. Then fast forward to October, I tried it out again and I've had no transferring or smudging what so ever, I'm putting this down to the mascara possibly drying out a bit since I last used it but whatever it is I'm happy because it works perfectly now! Finally for lips I've still been loving Revlon's Black Cherry Lipstick although I've been pairing it with the Collection Lip Liner in Damson and they work so well together, they are the perfect combo for Autumn that's for sure and I even rock Damson alone sometimes too.

What have you been loving this October  beaut's?? I'd love to know!

December Beauty Favourites

Hey beaut's!

It's December beauty favourites time.....I still cant quite believe that December and Christmas is nearly over, it went far to quickly for my liking and I'm super sad about it, I think I'm going to cling on to the gold smokey eyes, red lips and glittery nails for a bit longer though he he. Anywhoo onto what I've been loving this month beauty wise!

For nails I've pretty much worn and re-painted my nails with the same two polishes all month long starting with Barry M's Glitter Gelly in Sparkling Ruby, its a gorgeous red glitter shade that has a subtle golden shimmer effect to it, and for my accent nails I've been obsessed with my Barry M Molten Metal Nail Paint in Copper Mine, these two have just gone so well together and have been so festive.

For lips this month I've been loving Rimmels The Only 1 Matte Lipstick in 610 High Flyer for everyday wear and for more of a dramatic festive red lip I've been wearing MAC's Viva Glam I. Speaking of MAC, their Extended Play Giga Black Lash Mascara crept back into my makeup bag this month and I've been obsessed again, it's amazing for precise application and grabs every lash even the tiny hard to reach lashes, I love it!

I know I've featured this in a lot of favourites but Zoella's Hungry Hands is still my favourite hand cream that I've been using daily, I've even got my boyfriend into it too he he, it's just so nourishing and the gingerbread scent is divine.

Skincare wise theres been one stand out product that I've been using a lot that I've actually been buying in bulk because I love it that much and that's Garniers Moisture Bomb Tissue Mask. These masks are super scary but super amazing, their just so good for my dry skin at this time of the year because they are drenched in serum which puts the moisture back in that this cold weather takes out, I love my skin after using one of these bad boys.

Finally for beauty, I've been obsessed with my YSL's Black Opium perfume during December, it's a dark, musky, sexy, warm scent that wears beautifully in the colder months, I love it so much!

I do have one fashion favourite that has snuck into my beauty favourites this month and that's my cute rose gold snowflake necklace from Jewellerybox.co.UK. I have been wearing it so much over the festive season, I just love how delicate it is any anything rose gold gets a huge thumbs up from me he he.  

What have you been loving this month beaut's?? I'd love to know.

Blogmas Day 9 - My Winter Fragrances

Hey beaut's!

It's blogmas day nine.... And today I thought I would share a couple of my winter fragrances with you that I'm seriously loving at the moment! During the winter months I love to dig out my more musky, warm scents, theres just something so nice about wearing a more musky scent when it's cold and frosty isn't there. 
My first pick is Ghost Deep Night, this has actually been a favourite of mine for years, I've literally gone through bottles of the stuff, it's a warm, dark, and woody scent that contains notes of Musk, Amber and Vanilla as well as a couple of fruity notes but the musk and vanilla are definitely most prominent in this scent. I like to wear Deep Night throughout winter either in the day or night and its lasting power is phenomenal too. 

My second pick is YSL's Black Opium, I actually got this back in the Summer and knew straight away I would get so much use out of it during the winter months, it's a dark, musky, sexy, warm scent best used for nights out I think because it's so glamorous, so it would be perfect for any Christmas and New Years parties. I have actually been wearing this through the day just with one spritz alone because it is quite a powerful fragrance but I love it so much. Also can we appreciate how stunning the bottle is, it's gorgeous!

Finally I have Twilight Mist from Body Fantasies, I find this is actually the best way to wear a more musky scent throughout the day during winter time because Body Fantasies are actually a perfume body spray which means they are formulated with high concentrations of perfume quality fragrance which is super long lasting but never overpowering and are worn in the same way as a body spray, their brilliant! Twilight Mist contains notes of pure mandarin, magnolia and sandalwood creating a pretty musky scent with hints of fruitiness, it actually remind me a lot of Ghost's Deep Night, it's gorgeous!

What's your favourite winter fragrance beaut's? I'd love to know!
