Hi everyone,
I hope you’re all having a great
weekend :)
I was tagged by the lovely Shellen
from A Blushing Beauty Blog
to do the Fall Favourites Tag. I like to do a tag every now and then as I think
they are a great way to find out more about the blogger and get to know them a
little better. So let’s get started!
Favourite Eye Makeup
I tend to wear really neutral colours
when it comes to my eye makeup but I do like to add a bit of sparkle,
especially over the festive season. My favourite palettes at the moment are the
Urban Decay Naked palette and also the Tanya Burr Hollywood palette as I love
the shade Enchantment which is a gorgeous sparkly gold. For mascara I am
currently using Benefit They’re Real but I do swap and change around, all I
know is I like lots of it and creating big, full lashes!
Favourite Lip Colour
I really love a red or berry lip for
autumn. I have loved Bourjois Shine Edition in Grenade In for a couple of years
now but the Rimmel Kate Moss lipstick in 01 is a more recent favourite. Bright
shades like these can be a bit high maintenance so if I’m in the mood for
something more low key, my go-to lipstick at the moment is Rimmel Kate Moss in
shade 55 My Nude. I have to admit it was the cute packaging that I was drawn to
first but thankfully the lipstick inside is just as pretty!

Favourite Nail Polish
This is a tough choice for me and if
you read my latest nail polish collection post you’ll know I have a fair few to
choose from. If I had to pick I would go for Jessica in Blushing Princess as
again berry shades are a staple for me in autumn. I'd also choose OPI Teenage Dream
from the Katy Perry collection as you always need a bit of sparkle!
Favourite Scent
Blackberry and Bay from Jo Malone
every time :) This scent just reminds me of
Christmas and it is one of my all-time favourites, not just for autumn.
Favourite Accessories
I am a bit of a scarf hoarder and have
collected probably one or two more than I needed to. The two in the photos are
my favourite cosy ones that I have been wearing all the time since the weather
turned colder. I’m also in love with this cute, faux fur bag which I bought a
couple of weeks ago from Primark. It was only £7 but I can see I will use it so
much over autumn and winter.
Favourite Drink
I’m not one for going to Starbucks and
Costa a lot for the festive drinks, although the Black Forest Hot Chocolate
from Costa has to be one of my favourites. I did try to recreate it at home but
it just wasn’t the same and I actually ended up giving myself stomach ache with
all the syrup I added. I have also recently taken a liking to a mocha and my
boyfriend went a bit crazy last weekend when a ton of hot chocolate and
espresso coffee machine pods turned up at home!
Favourite Show
At this time of year for me it’s all
about Strictly Come Dancing! It’s just an all-round feel good programme and I’m
really enjoying it this year. I also like watching X Factor but I haven’t got
into it as much this time. I’m not sure why but a few people have said the same
to me recently.
And that's it! I just tag anyone that reads this post
and feels like they want to give it a go. I hope you have enjoyed my fall favourites let
me know if you do decide to do it yourself as I'd love to read your posts.
Thanks for reading,
Hannah xx
