Autumnal beauty tones

So, I have finally got round to writing my first exclusively autumnal post, and a new beauty post. Phew! And what better place to start than with the colour of the season, or should I say colours. As soon as the weather changes so does everyones colours of choice, and in this post I am going to share you a few of my favourite autumnal-toned products, mostly lips (that must say alot) at all different levels of the berry/plum-ness scale. 

April Beauty Favorites

So its that time of the month again, April Favorites!

As Spring has FINALLY sprung in England my theme for make-up has been alot brighter and fresher so my most reached for products represent that change.

For me my absolute favorite thing in the whole world is eye make-up, I am addicted. So for me the first part of my everyday makeup routine that witnesses this change without a doubt is my eyes. In the colder months I tend to opt for a darker smokey eye, but the second I see sun I crave something lighter and brighter. The products I have been using to make this change have been the Seventeen Eye Eye Crayon in the colour 'Iced', Seventeen Eyeshadow Mono and Maybelline EyeStudio Color Tattoo 24hr Cream Gel Eyeshadow in the shade 'Pink Nude'. I have been using the eye shadow as a base, the pencil in the corners of my eyes and brow bones and the cream eyeshadow smudged on the outer edges of my eyes.

For my lips I have been loving (something that is not on the whole a spring make up item) the Collection Work the Colour Lip Butter in the shade 'Perfect Plum'. This lip butter is so perfect for me. It goes on beautifully and the nib makes it easy to trace your lips beautifully. Also it does not leave residue on anything you put too your lips so dramatically so for £3 its a winner for me.

I have never really been a person to ware blusher, ever. I have sensitive skin on my cheeks and actively avoid putting anything redder on them in case it sticks. But, whist I was looking round down as my boyfriend was in his guitar lesson I went to superdrug (something which I rarely do due to one not being near where I live) and the MUA blushers caught my eye as they were £1. I bought the MUA blusher in the colour 'Lolly' which is a coral-ly colour as I avoided anything too pink toned. I am so pleased with this purchase as for me it blends perfectly and also adds a more spring-toned look to my face.

And finally skincare. For me this month has been all about me finally sorting out my skincare routine. To do this two products have really stood out for me, these have been the Garnier Pure Micellar Cleansing Water and the Tea Tree Skin Clearing Foaming Cleanser from The Body Shop. I use the micellar water to take off my eye make up, which it does so beautifully with no overpowering scent or stinging feeling around my eyes, and the cleanser to then thoroughly wash my face. These products have helped my skin get to such a beautiful standard. I have had one breakout since caring for my skin everyday (something which I am not used to) but I feel as though it had more to do with stress and hormones. It did clear up in about two to three days which I was very happy with.

Yay! Finally did it, a monthly favorites on time!

Hope you are all well, thank you SOOOO much for supporting and following me, it honestly means the world. 

Join the discussion, What are your spring eye looks? Do you ware blusher, if so what one? What are your skincare favorites? and Do you have a skincare routine that you stick to?

Mini Boots Haul

 

I can never resist the temptation of going into Boots and buying at least one item. This temptation becomes even stronger when Boots runs a three for 2 or triple points offer. So when I went to boots last I just had to get somethings of my want list.

Garnier Pure Micellar Cleansing Water £3.99

 

I went in the hopes of getting the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water, but alas they were out of stock (again). So instead I grabbed their 'Pure Active' one. I have absolutely fallen in love with this product. I use it simply as an eye make up remover and it does it to great effect. I put a couple of drops onto a cotton pad and wipe, then voilla my eye make up has pretty much disappeared. This for me is an amazing product and you get alot of uses out of your money.


Maybelline EyeStudio Color Tattoo 24hr Cream Gel Eyeshadow £4.99

 

Okay I am so late to the Maybelline eye tattoos party but ever since purchasing this one I have used it every single day. This is the perfect lazy eye makeup as I simply use my finger and blend that way. To be honest, what more do you want?

Seventeen Eyeshadow Mono £3,89

I bought this as an eyeshadow base, and it does that incredibly well for the money spent. It sits there with limited creasing and keeps my eyeshadow in place all day.

Seventeen Eye Eye Crayon £3.99

This product is absolutely perfect for brightening the corner of my eyes. It has a subtle shimmer that is not too overpowering and makes the eye look more awake. Not 100% sure if I would call it waterproof as Seventeen claims but it does stay put all day. Just a perfect product if I'm honest.

What have you recently bought at boots? or are you better at resiting the temptation than I am?
