My Autumn Essentials...

Hey guys! 

Longggg time no blog (who noticed the Jim Chapman reference?)

As I'm sure you're all aware, whether it be from YouTube, Instagram, Twitter or wherever, Autumn is upon us again! This makes me so so crazy excited, because everything exciting happens in Autumn (including this year my 16th Birthday!) The nights get darker, there air gets colder, "sweater weather" becomes a thing and everything becomes a lot more photogenic! I'm so excited! 

I thought I'd share with you my Autumn essentials today, as it's been a while without a blog post and I promised myself I'd use it more so these are my Autumn essentials:

First up is a dark lipstick, I feel this is a pretty staple thing to have, everyone has personal favourites, mine is MAC in the shade - Media. I really love this as its a deep dark purple with an undertone of Red. It's a lustre finish and I really like this! 

The second photo is an Autumnal shade nailvarnish. For me I can't actually wear nail varnish all that often because I'm in school most of the time and my school are overly tight with rules on nail varnish so it's just not worth it. But these are the ones I'm wearing on the weekends. 

First on the left is Rimmel London in 320 Rapid Ruby, the next is one by Fearne Cotton, in the colour Heart Ache and the last one is a leather look from Claire's accessories, and this doesn't have a name (why would you do that Claires?!) I'm also really loving white nails at the moment too, as you'll see if you watched my last video!

My next Autumn and Winter must is a good pair of boots! I picked these ones up today and these are from New Look, I love the tarten turn ups on these, I don't know if you can see because of the way I've edited the photo but they have two layers of fabric and they lace up half way. Also skinny jeans tuck in really nicely. I'm super excited to wear these whilst walking over leaves and snow!

A defitinate favourite for the winter months is a warm drink in a cute mug. Yes you saw this right, this mug has Santa's on it. But heyyy, it's almost October, Santa's pretty much on his way... right?  

I love having hot chocolate on cold nights, and this is my favourite mug ever for the winter time as it says "dear Santa, define nice?" and I just think this is really cute and quite me. This is just from Primark. 

Another thing from this photo that I love is my new mustard jumper, I won't go into depths as it featured in my most recent video but it's from H&M

My last Autumn essential that I think is crucial is a good pair of Slippers and / or fluffy socks. These are my absolute favourites at the moment as they're so warm and snug and look cute with everything. These were £3 from Primark and I'll definitley be purchasing another pair before Winter is over!

That's everything I have to share with you today! I hope that you too are feeling the Autumn vibes, I know I really am! I love this time of year as everything exciting happens and while it might be quite early, there is a whisper of Christmas on the horizon, after all, it's three months today!

I hope this inspired some of you as these are all affordable Autumn items (nice illiteration there Molly) that are great for everyone!

From now on I'm going to be writing a blog post every Friday at 7pm!

See you then! It'd be nice to see any feedback!

See you soon!

My Summer Favourites So Far...

Helloooo;)

I've decided to re-vamp my blog a little, as it's something I really want to get into more and after watching Alfie Deyes' 90 day challenge this was the first thing that sprung to mind!

After having a little think I chose to do a blog post on my Summer Favourites, I was going to make a video but I don't really have a spare week and I also think that this is a good post to start this back off!

So I'm going to start off with some beauty favourites, because they're my overall general life favourites!

So my ultimate makeup favourite this month has definitely been eyeshadow, as I haven't been at school recently, I've had a lot of time to experiment with different colours. I bought myself a sleek palette, something that I'd wanted for ages. This is the Au Natural palette, my favourite colours are Toast (Top Right) and Moss (Second on the Left on the bottom Row) This was only £8 and definitely worth the money! 

I've also really been loving not wearing foundation, but my skin isn't perfect so I've been using a higher coverage concealer, the Collection Lasting Perfection in the Shade 3, Medium, I love it! However it's a little too dark for me now as when I bought it I clearly had more of a tan!

Finally (in this picture) I re-discovered the Benefit They're real, and as I have an eye makeup remover that can bring it off properly now (as I had simple I struggled getting it all off) I really like it and it definitley is one of my favourite high end mascara's, I have three! Oops:) 

Starting with the picture on the Top Left, I've really been enjoying Lush this summer, as they've released a whole new range as they brought out their Oxford Street Range, originally exclusive to Oxford Street (which I was lucky enough to visit and I can say is HUGEE!) However now has been brought to all stores, The two in this picture are the Bath Bomb 'Intergalactic' and the Bubble Bar 'Big Bang' that make the best combination together to make the Bath the most vivid shade of Blue!

The Skirt in the next picture is my favourite item of clothing this month, it's nothing particularly exciting as it's only from Primark, but this looks so nice with a plain white top and as it's summer I'm slightly tanned it looks really nice with tanned legs. I think this would also look amazing on a beach somewhere, but if you dress it up with heels it's also quite going out-y

As for skincare, my favourites at the moment is the Clinique Take the Day off Eye Makeup remover, this literally takes off everything, literally any eye makeup, it's more of an oil then a liquid and I think that's why it works so well! I've also really been loving the Simple Clenser and Toner, they where actually the first two I've tried and I can't see myself ever changing it up! They're amazing:)

The last image are my lip favourites, I've been loving these two together! The lipstick is the YSL in Number 17, Rose Dahlia, and the lipgloss is Urban Decay Naked in the colour Sesso, these two together make such a gorgeous orange based pink colour which I think goes perfectly for summer and also matches the skirt really well! 

These are just my random favourites of the Summer, The Body Wash if by The Body Shop, in the Scent (is that what you'd call it) Satsuma, and I'm not always the biggest fan of Orange, but I love this! It's so summery and perfect, when I get in the shower it smells like Hawaii (not that I've ever been, but how I imagine it to smell) it's also really moisturising!

The necklace and sunglasses are just accessories, also from Primark, I spoke about them in a Haul Video of mine a while back so I won't go on, but I just think the necklace is so pretty and adds detail to any plain top, which I really like, I also love how it's not too over the top. The sunglasses where a brave buy for me, as I didn't know how well I could pull of circular sunglasses without just looking like either Harry Potter or John Lennon, but I actually really like how they look and Primark Sunglasses are soooo affordable!

Finally, the Nail Varnish is by BarryM in the Shade 'Mediterranean' which changes between Pink and Gold in different lights, this is just the final add to any outfit and I love how shiny and gliterry it looks yet still feeling smooth! BarryM is always a win for nail varnish

That's basically everything, I'm sorry if that feels sort of rushed but I didn't want to go on and on haha. Let me know in the comments or on my Instagram what you think of me restarting my blog up!

I'll be sure to see you all soon!

Much love, Molly x
