Autumn Beauty Must Haves.

1) Christian Dior Eye pallets
This autumn, Dior have released two limited edition palettes–Dior Bonne Etoile and Constellation 5-Color Eye Palette Both palettes are part of the Mystic Metallic collections, which is a high-metal, high glamour. Dior Bonne Etoile is my favourite and it incorporates a range of cool blue and green-teal,  a sparkling bronze-brown and a high-shine cool champagne. These varieties of colours will suit almost any eye colour but I think they will look most incredible and brown and green eyes. £41.

2) Mac’s 3D Black Lash Mascara.
This is the new mascara from mac and it promises enhanced volume, extended length and curl. It comes in two lightweight formulas, classic black or blacker than black 3D black lash. I bought this mascara recently and I love it. It really does make you lashes look amazing and I’ve had a few people comment on how long my eyelashes look. £18

3) Eyeko brow gel.
Move over pencils it’s all about brow gel now. This product lets you comb and tint in one quick step for enhanced brows. I cannot wait to try this stuff! I’ve been using eyebrow pencils for a while now so I’m dying to test out this gel and see what it’s like, I’ve read a few reviews and everyone seems to be raving about it, so if you love enhanced brows, go out and buy this. £18 from Space NK.

4) Essie Nail Varnish colours for autumn.
The range is called’ for the Twill of it’ which is super cute and there is 6 different shades. There is Essie Cashmere Bathrobe which is my personal fave. It’s a smokey grey colour with glass flecks that show up lovely on this darker shade. The other equally gorgeous colours are Essie After School Boy Blazer is, which is a navy blue crème. For the Twill of it, which is a multi-chrome, shade-shifting metallic polish. Essie The Lace Is On, a vivid fuchsia shimmer peppered with smooth glitter. Essie Twin Sweater Set, a red crème polish and finally, Essie Vested Interest a teal crème polish. All colours are £7.99 each.

5) Michael Kors.  £18 Liquitan Self Tanner.
This is an amber-tinted, fast-acting formula for instant, sun-kissed gratification. Unlike many fake tans, this Micheal Kors product smells gorgeous; the subtle sandalwood and white floral scent is a welcome change from the typical unpleasant aroma that accompanies most fake tanning products. This is a great product for autumn when your natural tan has faded away with the summer and you’re in need of an instant glow.

6) Clinique superprimer – Colour corrects dullness.
With the change in weather our skin takes a beating during the colder months during autumn and winter. Our skin appears duller during the colder months and often needs a little boost to brighten it back up. This primer from Clinique promises to do just that. Its £20 for 30ml and will last ages.

7) Honey by Marc Jacobs.
“This fragrance opens with a fresh fruity hook, and melts to a beautiful floral honey heart for a long lasting and sunny signature fragrance”. I adore all of marc Jacobs scents so this one I have to try. It’s £50 for 50ml at ‘The Perfume Shop’ which isn’t actually bad for a Marc Jacobs fragrance.

How to wear PINK!?



One of autumns biggest colour crazes this year is pink, in every shade. However for most of us, wearing pink can be quite daunting. If you want to stay on trend but you’re worried about looking like a Barbie doll, here are some tips on how to rock pink this autumn.




If you’re not used to wearing bright colours start out with teaming up a black outfit with a pop of pink accessories. Team quirky brights with your wardrobe staples such as a black dress with pink heels or a clutch bag. You can even just try out pink lips as a starter. Mac Impassioned lipstick is a great colour to wear if you want to try out the pink trend on your lips.






If you’re a bit more daring try out a more subtle pink in either a jacket or jumper paired with some jeans. This gives you a pop of colour but still allows you to avoid the Barbie doll look.



If you want to go all out on the pink trend this summer a great way to do this is to layer up and wear different shades of pink. A great way to do this is by focusing on your upper half, team a pale pink jumper or cardigan with a fuchsia pink coat and you will most definitely turn heads.
















Here’s how some celebrities have been seen wearing the pink trend.

Kimberly Walsh teams her bodycon skirt with the perfect pink knit to brighten up her outfit.


Kylie Jenner goes for a pop of colour with her pastel pink skirt whilst big sister Khloe Kardashian goes for a more daring look in a bright pink dress teamed with black boots.



Miranda Kerr keeps it chic in a coral jacket.


Emma Stone wows in this bright pink dress that looks perfect with her pale skin and blonde hair.


And Eva Mendes works this seasons oversized pink coat.
