Even though
we are alternating through freezing cold days and roasting hot days, according
to the calender autumn is indeed upon us. My autumn edit is mainly set for
chilly days, as I’ve been loving getting snuggled up and being able to wear
scarves again. Matte red lips seem to be a token lip shade for this time of
year, and since I can’t seem to find my Nars Amsterdam, BYS have
stepped up to the plate with their matte lipstick in Celebrity Status*. A wee bit of celeb action, don’t mind if I
do!
I’ve been
rocking some intense eye looks lately, all grounded down with my new liner
love, Australis Curve Ink eyeliner. Crazy looking little contraption,
but I’m loving how easy it is to apply and the fact that I don’t have to dip
into a pot to use it! Wine and jewel-toned eyes have been my thing, with my Wet
& Wild Knock on Wood trio getting a hammering as well as my Arbonne
shadows in Cabernet* (which is actually quite brown toned and easy to
wear) and Blue Slate*. Blue and red seem to be my autumn edit staples, I’ve
only just realised.
To keep the
autumn feelings abundant, I’ve been dipping into my Haus of Gloi stash
from back when it was autumn in the U.S. The limited edition autumn scents that
I love best are the delicious Pumpkin Eater, a sweet vanilla and nutmeg
pumpkin scent, and Ghost Puffs, the cult favourite that reminds me of Lolly
Gobble Bliss Bombs. Those scents are available there, but the new spring
collection sounds absolutely amazing and I’m tempted to pick up some more HoG
pots even though I haven’t used up the stuff from my first haul yet.
I’ve had a
hard time keeping L’Oreal Color Riche 608 Luxembourg Garden* off my
nails lately, it isn’t often I reapply the same shade 3 mani’s in a row so I
know I am onto a winner with this one. Their Color Riche 613 Blue Reef*
has also been catching my eye quite a bit, along with the Revlon Colorstay
280 Blue Slate, which I am yet to wear and have lined up next. My most
recent nail purchase ($2 AUD, hey big
spender!) is the Ulta3 beauty that is Pinot. A deep metallic
wine shade, you really can't go wrong!
Saving the
best until last, naturally, my cheeks can’t get enough of my Tarte Amazonian
Clay blush in Exposed. Exposed it a rosy neutral that makes me feel
like a supermodel, and goes with any look you can dream of. Another autumn
favourite is Benefit Dallas, which is similar in tone but definitely
needs a light hand with this pale face as it is quite a soft powder formula.

red on your lips?
