Autumn/Winter Must Haves 2014

Hey Beauties,

Lets get back into the spring of things. Put the past, in the past, and lets focus on the future.

Before I start, I just want to state a short message:

I am going to start making YouTube videos again. I made videos around this time last year, and at August I stopped. But I'm going to begin again, and link it with this blog. However. My YouTube username is totally different to my blog. And I am not going to make another Facebook Page for my YouTube fans, so I've converted my page for both accounts. You can like that here. My YouTube channel can be viewed here so make sure you are subscribed!

Anyway, today's blog post is all about my picks for this Autumn and Winter. Now, it doesn't feel like Autumn yet, its been boiling hot still, and today it began to rain and was a tad cloudy. So I'm hoping it becomes colder because I just want to wear some damn jumpers!

We'll start off with my Lipstick Picks.

L-R: Maybelline Color Sensational - Berry Beautiful 941,  OM She - Grace, Essence - More To Love 57, Rimmel Kate Moss - 04

L-R: Rimmel, Essence,  OM She, Maybelline.

For the colder seasons, I love a good darker, raspberry lip colour. It seems to compliment my pale skin colour rather nicely, but some colours, do make my already stained yellow teeth (Gross, I know) appear more yellow.

Maybelline Color Sensational: Berry Beautiful I'm pretty sure this shade is discontinued as I haven't seen it in store, and I just bought this from a lady at the market. But I love this shade so much. Its a shade I'm pretty sure I will be reaching for a lot in the upcoming months.

Essence: More To Love I'm pretty sure Essence has recently discontinued this shade too, but I haven't actually worn this yet, as its a bit glittery, but I'm sure I will wear it on those days where I just want a hint of red on my lips, as it doesn't show up that vibrantly. (On image, that was with a few layers.)

Rimmel Kate Moss: 04 I love this shade so much, But I don't really wear it too often as it does make my teeth yellow. So when I wear this, I usually just dab and blend with my fingers, and with the slight pink of my lip colour shining through its just perfect. image with it on here

OM She: Grace I have a feeling this is either a new, or old shade. As I didn't see it at Priceline yesterday. But I got this in my last bellabox, and I love this shade. What I love more is the fact that its a little bit darker than my favorite lip colour ever. (Essence All About Cupcake) and this smells so good too.

For lip Liners...

This has no shade name, but its by the brand Smooch. Which my Mum just picked up for 50cents at my local pharmacy. Its creamy, lasts for ages, and its just great quality.

Now I'm a nail polish junkie (Collection coming next week!) So I have a few favorites!

Rimmel Salon Pro: Punk Rock Okay. I totally reccomend these nail polishes. They are great. It lasts about, 4-5 days I'd say? and its very easy to apply as well. I have 2 from this range and I will be buying more.

Essie: Bahama Mama I love this nail polish. I think this is going to be the most worn on my nail:s this year. Its a perfect shade, and gold and silver can match it really well.

Rimmel Metal Rush: Bronze Princess  I painted this on my nails last night. And on my other nails I have Australis' Trackie Dacks, and thats already started chipping, even with Seche Vite on top. But Bronze Princess hasn't. And it only required 2 coats.

Rimmel 60 Seconds: Aye, Aye Sailor I love this nail polish, well I love all my nail polishes, duh, but this one in particular is different to all the other ones I own. I don't own a navy blue. And this one is just amazing. I love to pair this with Sally Hansen's Celeb City. Perfect combination.

Ahh...Eyeshadows. I have a few that I will think I will be reaching.

Bobbi Brown Creme Eyeshadow: Burnished This creme eyeshadow (or cream however you spell it) is very similar to Maybelline's Bad to the Bronze. So thats the reason why I love it. And last year, that was my statement piece, so I reckon I will repeat that.

Rimmel Smokey Eyes Quad I only use the black and grey out of this quad, but I love it. This was my first eyeshadow set I bought and have used, and its probably past its due date, but I don't really mind! (How do you tell if it is out of date?)

Rimmel: Dusk This is a matte brown that I like to apply to my lids on lazy days. It applys well and lasts throughout the day, which is great!

Maybelline Colour Tattoo: Electric Blue I haven't used this very often, but I think I will start to create some smokey eyes with this as I love the colour.

Urban Decay's Naked Palette I find that this palette has the best colour selection for the colder months. Its easy to make various smokey eyes, and you can create many, many looks.

Last, but certainly not least. A must have for everyone:

Moisturiser. You need this baby in your life. I never used to use this until recently, and its just magical. This one is the Cetaphil one, I only got this because it was reduced in Coles (Still in date though) but I have tried the Thursday Plantation one, which I will be doing a review on very soon!!

What are your key items for this season?

Keep Smiling,
