My Lipsticks of the Moment

Now that we're deep into the Autumn months I think it's time to show off my Autumn lippies! I don't usually wear a lot of lipstick but I have been loving the trends recently so I had to purchase a few items to satisfy my craving.

First up I have this Collection lipstick from the Volume Sensation range in the shade Tea Rose. This is a really great nude colour for this season. The colour is understated but is a really beautiful colour if you don't fancy anything to dark. I think a colour like this would be good for something professional like a job interview or a business meeting. Thankfully, this lipstick isn't drying and is full of moisture. It's not a long lasting lipstick so regular reapplication is necessary. Personally I don't think it increases the volume of my lips or plumps them up, luckily that wasn't the reason I bought it.

Next up I have a lipstick from Barry M's new Ultra Moisturising Lip Paints in Viscious Violet. I've read a lot of reviews about Barry M's regular lip paints being really drying and it appears that Barry M read them too because they've come out with this new range that contains Cocoa Butter 'for a soft and saturated finish'. Dark purples are so in trend this Autumn and this is a great shade. Plus, with the cocoa butter it helps prevent chapped lips.

Next up I have my favourite lipstick of the season! This beautiful shade by Sleek in Cherry is my go to shade for a great evening lippy. This deep cherry colour is really on trend and looks amazing against the khaki's and beige's that are all over the place this Autumn. Lipsticks this dark can be difficult to apply so I recommend lip liner and blotting for the best finish. Also, Sleek is a relatively new make up brand to me but I would really recommend people to check them out. They have a beautiful range of colours and creations.

I hope you've enjoyed my favourite lippies of the moment. I would love to know what your favourites are. Comment or Tweet me @JennaDoesBeauty.

 

What's On My Toes?

Frankly, I don't expect you to actually be asking the above question but I haven't done a NOTW this week and I thought it would be fun to try something new. Now, if your one of the crazy people that are scared of feet, I would read no more and look away!

On my toes nails I have Accessorize's Mink nail varnish, which you might have seen on my most recent haul post. Over the top of the Mink I have Barry M's Hologram Hexograms which is a beautiful glitter varnish that looks great on fingers and toes!

What do you have on your toes?

Autumn Tag!

I don't know about you but I cant believe its October already! This of course means we are now well into the autumn months and I thought it would be a great idea to do an Autumn Tag and I tag all of YOU to do it too. Here we go ...

 

1. Its finally autumn, what are you most looking forward to this season?

I am most looking forward to the fashion! A/W fashion is by far my favourite of the entire year. I love all the woolly jumpers, scarfs, boots and all the autumn colours. Autumn to me always means the build up to Christmas, and who doesn't love Christmas.

 

2. What Autumn item in your wardrobe are you most excited to pull out?

I am so excited about digging so many things out of my wardrobe! My boots, slouchy cardies, jumpers and fluffy socks!

 

3. Since Halloween is the first holiday to celebrate, what is your favourite scary film to watch?

I LOVE scary films, sadly my boyfriend doesn't, so I don't get to see as many as I'd like. I love thrillers with serial killers and cops like 'Se7en' but my all time favourite scary movies have to be ghost films. I think I love them so much because I believe in ghosts and I love it when the film makes me jump. I must say, 'Paramormal Activity' was a delight to watch. Yes, I'm weird like that!

 

4. What is your favourite Autumn treat?

My favourite Autumn treat has to be hot chocolates! The weather gets colder and all I want to do is snuggle up on the sofa or with the boyfriend under a blanket and cling onto a warm mug of hot chocolate and a mince pie! (Getting a lovely image in my head right now).

 

5. Now that summer is finally over, what will you miss about it?

Well, I was going to say the sun, but I didn't see much of that over the summer.  But I will miss people being in a much happier mood when the sun does decide to pop out from behind the clouds. I will also miss all the bright coloured nail varnishes that come out in the summer.

 

6. What make-up/beauty products do you love for Autumn?

My favourite beauty trend for the Autumn is the dark plum lip. You might have seen Cheryl Cole showing off the deep plum lip at the judges houses part of The X Factor. I've recently bought a few different shades of plum to make sure I get the right shade. My only piece of advice is, don't be too scared of dark colours! They are so in this season and I guarantee it'll look great once it's on.

 

7. What have you recently bought in preparation for the up and coming season?

Well, like I said above I've bought a couple of new lippies in preparation for this season. But I've also bought winter pj's and some think jumpers!

 

8. Have you ever been trick'or'treating?

Yes, who hasn't!

 

9. Name the first 5 things that come to your head when you think of Autumn.

Fallen leaves

Hot Chocolate

Halloween

Woolly socks

The sky getting dark earlier

 

10. What is your favourite season and why?

I do really love autumn but I love spring too! It must be something to do with the in between seasons.

 

 

If you end up doing this tag, I would love it if you sent me a link to your post either in the comments or on twitter @JennaDoesBeauty :)
