Autumn Essentials

So who's excited for Halloween? It's October now so I'm finally allowed to be! This year I have also tried out some makeup ideas for Halloween to show you all, so look forward to those! I love going all out on the makeup as there aren't many other opportunities to. But anyway, now that Autumn is definitely here I thought I'd show you some of my essentials. First is the super cosy scarf from New Look that I used as the backdrop for the photos. The colours are super autumnal and will go with most outfits plus its just so soft I wish I could sleep in it, which i definitely could considering the size of it. My autumnal nail picks are very similar to last years with a deep matte burgundy polish Crush by Barry M and a light slate grey from Illamasqua called DWS (Which I picked up for the bargain price of £4 at TKMaxx which greatly excited me). Most of the year, red is my favourite lip colour but over autumn it switches to purples and plums, my favourite of which is Topshop's Lipstick in Wicked, its a very dark purple on the lips though looks more of a brick red in the bullet. It's just gorgeous and I always get compliments whenever I wear it. It's lasting power is also pretty fab. If I'm looking for a less statement lip I have also been loving Burt's Bees Hibiscus Lip Balm to add a slight tint to my lips and moisturise them simultaneously. To make it feel all cosy in my room I've also started burning less summery scents and picked up this lovely pack of yankee samplers from Asda for only £3. Unfortunately though I have noticed that the 'Simply Home' scents aren't quite as good as the usual ones and often don't smell as strong. It contains Apple Crumble, Simply Vanilla and Raspberry Sundae  which I can't wait to try.
