The Fall Favourites Tag

I know that fall has technically just ended but I love it so much and I love the idea of this tag that I couldn't not do it. To me fall and winter are almost the same month, they're both equally as cold and I just wear a lot of scarves and layers throughout either way so. I was tagged by the lovely Anna from thenewoldfashionedgirl.blogspot.com so go check out her blog and her answers to the tag, if you're fall obsessed like me. Anyway here's the questions and answers.

       

Favorite eye-makeup?
For Autumn my faves are obviously autumn themed colours. I love matte browns and sparkly golds. I also love wearing deep reds/burgandys, so so pretty for fall. My favourite Autumn palette has to be the Zoeva Cocoa Blends palette, literally the most perfect autumn palette you've ever seen. I've said autumn way too many times, I don't usually call it fall btw. 

Favorite candles?
As much as I love candles I don't actually use them, yet. I do love all the christmassy scents Yankee candle bring out at this time of year, like christmas cookie, yummm. 

Favorite Scents?
Again I'm not a very seasonal scent person I don't have a 'fall scent' I just love the smell of when it gets colder out, if that is even a thing? I also love the smell of a warm fire or a roast dinner. 

Favorite Nail Polish?
I'm so bad at this, I'm not a nail varnish person because I bite my nails so much, it's awful. My fave nail varnishes are normally dark red or green Esscence ones though, I'm currently wearing a dark green/grey. 

Favorite lip color?
Lip colour is my favourite thing about Autumn/Winter, I love dark lips so so much. My faves for Autumn are Rimmel London 107, when I can't decide on anything quickly. Also MAC Media and Revlon Black Cherry. They're so fab and really deep red with purple in them. 

Favorite Halloween costume?
I'm not sure if it means one I've worn or in general, but my fave costume that I've worn is a pikachu one when I was about 6, I looked so cute. I really love the Harley Quinn outfits this year, although I know people hate them.

Favorite accessories?
A very cute beanie/bobble hat can't go amiss. Also I'm a huge wearer of scarves, especially patterned ones.

Favorite moments?
I don't think I have a very specific favourite moment I just love the whole atmosphere of fall. It's my birthday in the middle of October too so I always have things going on and stuff to look forward to.

Favorite drink?
It's got to be Pumpkin Spice Lattes, and this year its the Pumpkin Spice Frappicinos, so amazing. I also love the different variations of hot chocolate at this time of the year.

Favorite TV show?
This is usually the time of year where Doctor Who or Sherlock come back on the TV so there's always plently to watch. Yet right now I'm trying to get up to date with the Walking Dead and Vampire Diaries which are both back already, I'm so not gonna catch up.

What My Boyfriend Thinks Makeup Does

I've seen these type of posts floating around for a while and always found them so interesting and funny, so I thought I'd put my own boyfriend to the test and see how much he really knows about makeup. I think he's quite good at it as I talk about make up all the time yet he still gets quite confused. To test him I made him describe and explain a product of makeup and see what his answer is. I typed out his exact phrases and answers as he spoke them, so he didn't get a chance to change his mind, also I think it's funnier seeing him question himself. lets see how much he knows.

Primer - Do you put that on your face first? As a start in makeup, makes it stick better?

Tinted Moisturizer - Ohh, is it like fake tan except over time? But not like fake tan but like foundation that moisturizes your skin?

Blush - It makes you have rosy cheeks.

Highlight - You use it to like highlight your facial features like cheekbones and stuff. 

Concealer - To cover up blemishes and spots and stuff.

Foundation - I don't know how to describe it. Used to make your skin tone brighter, and more suited to you and nicer.

Face Powder - Such an ambiguous name. It's powder for your face. It makes your skin softer and smooth.

Contour Kit - I know contouring is for like making your facial features stand out more like nose, chin cheekbones as well. 

CC Cream - I'm gonna say that it gets rid of pores?

BB Cream - You put a small amount on your brush. It matches your foundation, moisturizes your skin and adds a tint of colour to your face. 

Eye Shadow - You put it on your eyelids. Do you put it under your eyelids too? Probably. You match it to your other make up to make your eyes pop.

Eye Liner - It's like I don't know how to describe, like a black marker slash pen along your water line. Does it make your eyes stand out?

Mascara - You put that on your eyelashes to make them kinda look organised and neat.

Lipstick - You put it on your lips to match the rest of your makeup and to moisturize lips.

I also made him explain what certain brushes are for, just to make things more interesting and awkward. I used the Real Techniques brushes below in order for him to make a guess at. If you wanna see what the brushes really should be used for check here and compare his answers or even your own.

1. It's big. I'm gonna say foundation.

2. Is it bad I wanna say foundation again?

3. I'm gonna say eye shadow, it looks like an eye shadow one.

4. It can be used for putting on eyeliner in desperate times and eye shadow.

5. Literally would probably be eyeliner. 

6. Foundation, it looks like foundation. But one only has BB Cream or something I don't know which one.

7. Is that the BB Cream one? If not it has to be foundation.

Overall I think he did a good job explaining them, I've definitely thought him well, a few of his answers definitely made me laugh though.
Hope you enjoyed this post as it's not something I've done before but it was fun to do. I love reading these posts so I hope you liked it too.

Let me know what you think of his answers and whether you'd put your partner to the test or not!

Liebster Award Nomination

This month has been crazy hectic and I haven't had as much time as I'd like to blog but now all my exams are over and it's the summer I have hopefully more time to be more productive online, plus I have a few cool things planned! Moving on to the actual post, the lovely Libby from libbylovesxx.blogspot.com tagged me in my first tag, yes this is so exciting to me. Libby has an amazing blog if you want to check her out and follow her. Her blog is one of my favourites, it's always so interesting, well put together and she is so sweet so go head over to her blog now!
I've seen this tag previously but I wasn't really sure how it works so I'll explain it now for those who don't know. Basically you get tagged by a blogger to answer the questions they set you, answer them, come up with ten questions of your own and tag ten other people to do it if they so choose. Sounds like a lot of fun and it's a great way to get to know other bloggers and connect. Here are my answers to the questions Libby set:

1. What's your ideal holiday destination?

My ideal holiday destination would be somewhere warm and sunny like Spain. I love having an abundance of things to do so near a beach or themepark would be ideal.

2. What catches your eye on someone's Instagram account? 

Usually if they have a theme going, I love the look of it although I don't have a theme myself. I like when people have a mix of things on their Instagram like lots of places and people and not just selfies and the likes.

3. What's 1 short term goal you are currently working towards?

I'm currently working towards getting more in shape and exercising more although I haven't started that yet.. Other than that I want to focus more on writing more things and getting good at it.

4. What inspired you to start your blog?

There was a couple of influences and factors that made me want to start a blog. I think the main reason was Zoella as I was and still am a huge fan of her and really loved reading her blog and watching her YouTube and it made me really want to start one, which I did. Although I don't think I would've had the motivation to start if I wasn't a huge fan of writing and reading. It's something I'm studying in University and I love it so I thought why not do it as a hobby.

5. Have you ever attended a blogger event? If so, how/where was it!?

I have unfortunately never attended one as much as I would like to! 

6. What's your ideal relaxation method?

Having a bath is probably my ideal especially when I'm stressed. I just use a load of Lush products and the scents and products help me feel more relaxed. Other than that I'd read books or blogs.

7. What's your favourite make-up/cosmetics brand? 

Ooh this is a tough question. Lush is my favourite cosmetics brand one hundred percent although I don't use any make up from them. I change my favourite make up brand quite a lot, it's probably Rimmel judging by the amount of their products I have but I'm really loving NYX and Zoeva at the moment.

8. What big summer plans have you made so far? 

I'm actually going away to Birmingham for a few days tomorrow, there will be multiple blog posts made on this of course. Other than that I'm going to try keep as busy and productive as possible but I have no set plans.

9. Would you rather send an email or a letter?

I love receiving letters so I'd say send a letter, especially because a hand written letter would be so unusual to get now a days I think it would be nice. Although for convenience I would obviously send an email. 

10. What's your go to cocktail?

I'm not a huge drinker so I don't really have one. My safe bet is normally a strawberry daiquiri but if something looks new and interesting I'll probably try that instead. 

My questions for you

1. What's your favourite song and why?
2. Would you rather go on a relaxing holiday or an adventure holiday?
3. Is there a celebrity or anyone who inspires you?
4. What's your favourite lipstick shade?
5. What's your ideal meal?
6. Have you got any interesting talents?
7. What's your favourite scent?
8. What did you want to be when you were younger?
9. Have you got any plans for the summer?
