Autumn Favourites

Autumn Favourites 

So I haven't done a blog post in ages! This is because goofy me lost the cord that connects from the phone to my laptop for photos, and  I've been really busy with study commitments. Thankfully I discovered a new way to transfer photos onto my laptop and my study flow has slowed down a bit so I can start my blog again, which I'm super excited about! I'd like to thank my friend Nicole for giving me inspiration to start up again, and I'll leave the link to her amazing blog at the end of this entry! :)

 

My first Autumn favourite is "Granny Takes a Dip" bath fizz from Lush. This is probably the best bath fizz I've ever used. It radiates different colours into your bath. I describe kind of like galaxy style colour scheme. It smells of lemon and other citrus fruits. It's truly a treat and I'm definitely going back into Lush to buy another one soon!



 Rimmel London Kate Moss 107

My second Autumn favourite is Rimmel London Kate Moss in 107. Since famous Youtuber and Blogger 'Zoella' always talks about about it, I decided to go out and purchase it! Since buying this lipstick, it's been my go to lip wear! It's matte so it lasts for a really long time, which is great for long days out shopping and big night outs in the town! It is a deep red colour, and I only need to put it on lightly. It also has a really sweet smell to it which is a plus! Another good thing about it is that it doesn't leave my lips feeling dry. In Australia the standard retail price it $11, which is a pretty fair price for a good quality lipstick.




 






My third Autumn favourite is cute fabric bags. Often when I go out shopping to places such as the Cotton On merchandise stores (Cotton On, Cotton On Kids, Cotton On Body. Factory, Rubi Shoes, Typo, and Supre) when I'm buying products from them, the sales person often asks if I'd like $2 bag to go towards a charity. Lately I have bee buying them because they are super cute, go towards a good cause, and they are super practical! I remember finding out that the Youtuber and Blogger, Louise (Sprinkleofglitter) often uses bags like these, she puts them in her hand bag and the fabric bags come in handy when you want to find a few items throughout the day, but you simply do not have enough hands carry them, and the fabric bags are always cute and pretty! I now hardly ever leave the house without placing one of these in my hand bags, and they always come in handy!
                                      

My fourth Autumn favourite is Garnier BB cream! It's tinted moisturiser, and it's super gentle on the skin but great when you still want a bit of coverage. You only need squeeze out a little bit of the BB cream because it spreads out really well and evenly so the product itself lasts for a while there for it's fantastic value for money!


My fifth Autumn favourite are the Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula. I got the three samples shown in the photo is a few of my Bella Box subscriptions. They all leave your skin feeling lovely and soft and smells amazing, cocoa-chocolatey kinda smell, but it isn't over powering which I find to be a good thing! The day cream has SPF15 and it a good base to apply foundation or BB cream on. The night cream helps hydrate your skin over night, and the cleanser and make up remover does exactly what the name says and is made to be applied before the day or night cream is put on. The actual product it self is a bit on the pricey side, but I'm pretty certain that soon I'll treat myself to a big tube of cocoa butter goodness!
     

My sixth Autumn favourite is the 'Rose & Hillcrest' Victoria Rose Bed Wand. I actually started using this when I was a little kid and for a while I stopped using it for no particular reason, and in the Autumn months I began using it again. A bed wand is basically a cylinder shaped box filled with scented powder you put under your quilt where you are going to sleep. It's a very nice touch to make your bed that extra bit more comfy! The bed wand that I have right now is like a rose-gardenia scent which is absolutely lovely!
My seventh and eighth Autumn favourite is the Pointless Blog by Alfie Deyes and Girl Online by Zoe Sugg. Even though these books are completely different I thought I'd put them in the same picture and Alfie and Zoe are the well known cute couple of Youtube! The Pointless Book by Alfie Deyes is a book full of interactive activities with special context by Alfie, the way you view the context is you download an app that goes with the book and you scan the book when it tells you to scan, pretty nifty! It's loads of fun and is a great go to thing when you are feeling a  bit bored! Since I purchased this book Alfie came out with a second book of similar context so soon I'm gonna' go out and buy it! Now for Zoe's book 'Girl Online', I won't give too much away in case you are planning on reading it soon but it's basically about a young girl with anxiety and the book tells follows her on her teenage girl life journey In my opinion it's a very cute book and worth a read! These two books are both very enjoyable, and if you are obsessed with YouTube like I am you'll know what a big deal that these regular people have books out in stores! It's amazing!



This brings me to the end of my Autumn favourites! Thank you for reading it and I hope you enjoyed!

Three prettiful outfits!

Hiii! I've decided to do a little blog post on three outfits that I've worn the past fortnight that I'm proud of! :)

 

Outfit number one! First I'll start out with make up! My make up of that day included Elf Primer, Max Factor Foundation, ModelsPrefer blush and contour, DB eyeliner, Cover Girl Lash-blast-length mascara, Laqa and Co 'bees knees' tinted lip balm, and  clear Lip Smacker lip gloss. A nice simple but pretty look, perfect for when I go to my study place! Now onto the outfit! Starting off with my shirt, it has that kinda urban but girly look to it which is a look I've been loving lately! I like how it's slightly baggy so it's nice to wear it hot weather, the print says "90's Kid" which I think is pretty cute, even though I'm not 100 percent sure if I classify as a 90's kid hehe! I got the shirt from Ice for around $10. My dark grey denim shorts peaking from the bottom of the shirt there was from Target for around $10, they're comfy and you can move around in them pretty well which is always a plus! Last but not least the purple glittery jellies are from Rubi shoes for $5, a cute little summery shoe trend which also goes with the theme of the shirt! :)
Outfit number two! This outfit is just a simple outfit I put together in the morning before school, but I still reckon it looks pretty funky! My hair bow was actually a birthday gift from a friend but you can get them from lots of different jewellery and accessory stores! I find cute hair bows is a great way to jazz up a simple hair do! You can't really see it because goofy ol' me put my phone over it, but my gold necklace was from the accessory section at Valley Girl, it literally goes with everything so it's a big favourite of mine! The plain black tank top was from Temt for $5, having a few plain coloured tank tops are always a good idea, they're a great thing to wear when you think you have nothing to wear! My high waisted shorts were from Paper Scissors and they were around $10, these shorts go with all my shorts so they're another big favourite of mine! The cute and slightly dorky and quirky jelly shoes were from Rubi Shoes for $5, jelly shoes bring us all back to our childhood, and they comfy and perfect for a hot summers day! All around a pretty lovely outfit! :)
Outfit number three! This is what a wore to a night out in the town a few weeks back. As I said previously I've been really loving this urban floral look that's been around lately and I feel pretty confident in a way that I think I can pull it off (hopefully!). The T-shirt styled shirt is from ICE, it was $15, it's stylish, cute, and a little quirky, and it's comfortable and light, which means it's perfect to wear on a hot night. My gold glittery bag was from Colette (it was a Christmas gift so I'm not sure how much it costs) the jewellery was also from Colette and my suede black heels are from Kmart for $20. :)



There they all are! Hope you enjoyed having a look at my outfits! Keep an eye out on my blog for more life style, beauty and fashion related stuff coming up soon! :)
