I love AUTUMN... (Fall Tag)

So I am jumping right on the band wagon!

Though I haven't tagged anyone because this is flying around the whole of the blogging community and Youtube. If you want do it...go ahead!




1 Favorite Fall lip product?

At the moment I am loving Lush's Sweet Lips. My lips always get so dry when the weather turns cold so I love to use this to exfoliate them and then slick on whichever lip balm is close to hand.



2 Favorite Fall Nail Polish?

Nails Inc in the shade Victoria. Gorgeous deep plum colour for Autumn and Winter.


3 Favorite Starbucks Fall Drink?

I only ever drink on drink in Starbucks and that is a skinny latte. I never have any of the guest drinks because I hate sweet coffee. Putting a syrup in my coffee of anything sweet just ruins it for me!


4 Favorite Fall Candle?

This is a tough one for me but I would have to go for Cedar and Balsam Yankee Candle.


5 Favorite Fall Scarf or accessory?

I recently bought a lovely thick shall/scarf from Tesco which I have been wearing a lot. That and those knitted head bands that keep your ears warm, I just got a new one from Urban Outfitters.


6 Haunted house, haunted hay ride, or haunted corn maze?

NONE!

7 Favorite Halloween movie?

The Paranormal Activity films. We always go and see them at this time of year! I went on Monday to see the 4th and jumped so much!


8 Favorite candy to eat on Halloween?

Anything treat sized! We always end up with left over Mars bars and Malteasers from the trick or treaters!


9 What are you dressing up as for Halloween?!

Nothing unfortunately. I never get to go to anything where I get to dress up! The last Halloween party I went to was 4 years ago and I dressed as a Nun!


10 What is your Favorite thing about Fall?

Going into Boots and seeing their 3 for 2 on gifts! Spending cosy warm nights in in front of the TV with family drinking tea.


I just want to add that I love this time of year! October, November and December are the best!

Autumn Nails


Just thought I would show you what I am wearing on my nails as the weather has turned!



Revlon Brilliant Strength - 160 Dominant - This is a rich chocolate brown and is an alternative to a black as it is quite dark. I love the brush on this as it is quite thick so you can cover one nail in one sweep!

Essie - 43 It's Genius - This is a burgundy purple with lovely gold shimmer. This is so opulent and will carry you through Autumn and the festive period.

Nails Inc. - Victoria - This is my all time favorite autumn winter colour.it is a deep red/burgundy colour which looks really classy and last a week on my nails.


When it starts getting towards December I tend to start adding a glitter top coat to my nail polish too. If you cant wear glitter in December when can you wear it!?

My Nails Inc. Collection

I love Nails Inc. (And no I haven't been paid to do this post!)


Just thought I would share my love of Nails Inc. with you all! I have been a fan for some time now. I just love how easy they are to apply, how the colour is exactly as it looks in the bottle and how long lasting they are. 
I do have a lot of drug store nail polishes and do use them but I really enjoy applying Nails Inc.
I find the consistency of the polishes just right, thick but not too sticky and thick that they are hard to work with or take ages to dry. They nearly always go on evenly and most only need one coat.

Here are the polishes I own so far. I did have more but I have used them up (and some I have misplaced!).



Top row - 


1. hydepark corner / 2. hyde park mews / 3. fulham palace road / 4. cromwell road / 5. sydney street / 6. bruton street.




Middle row -

8. belgrave place / 9. denim / 10. henrietta street / 11. tate / 12. savile row / 13.  victoria / 14. union street.




Bottom row-

15. candy street / 16. the hurlingham / 17. hans road / 18. monmouth street / 19. shoreditch / 20. oxford circus.




Others -

 Left to Right - Kensington caviar basecoat, Kensington caviar 45 second topcoat, Albert bridge topcoat, Matte effect top coat.

I am also a fan of their base and top coats. I have definitively seen an improvement on the longevity of my polish if I wear both the Kensington Caviar top and base coat. I would say I get an extra 2 days wear than if I didn't use it. Both the Caviar and the Albert bridge top coats give a gorgeous wet look shine. The matte effects top coat does exactly what it says! I find I can wear brighter colours all year round with this rather than saving them for summer!

I have purchased all of these myself, 7 and 9 were from the Diet Coke promotions they have done in the past.
I am not a huge fan of the mini bottles that I bought as a collection because I find them a little fiddly but they are good if you want to try out a variety of colours.

I do think these polishes are quite pricey at  £11 a bottle and £12 for the top and base coats but in my opinion they are the best out of the high end polishes and at the moment there is a SALE!

I think a good and cheaper alternative are the Models Own, I own a fair few of those as well!

I would say the most worn out of these have to be number 1,7 13!

Is there any colour out there that I just HAVE to try?!
