Autumn Favourites Tag

Hi, it's Meg

A few days ago I was tagged to do the Fall Favourites Tag by Lexi from Lexi The Newt and Lily Lea from Meet Me in Melford. It's Autumn and I've been wanting to this for ages so I thought there's no better time than now to do it! I love Autumn and it's my favourite time of the year! Let's get on with it! 
Disclaimer:This tag is called Fall Favourites but I prefer calling it Autumn which is why it's Autumn in the title and Fall everywhere else.

Favourite Candle?

To be honest, I don't really burn candles but I love any scent which is crisp, dark, warm and autumnal. I've been liking candles from the Christmas part in Boots. I'm not sure what they're called but they sound like a wood fire! I don't really like any fruity scents because they're too sweet.

Favourite Lip Product?
Velvet Teddy by MAC is a new favourite of mine and is a lovely crisp and matte autumnal lip with brown undertones. It's beautiful and my favourite lip product.

Favourite Nail Polish?

Models Own-Rhubarb & Custard. A deep glittery red.

Favourite Trendy Clothing Item?

Either my black a line skirt from New Look or my jacket from F&F.

Favourite Comfy Clothing Item?

Probably my gilet because it's fluffy inside! It's faux fur obvs!

Favourite Accessory?

Probably my pearl earrings that I wear all the time. They just go with everything and are very beautiful!

Halloween or Thanksgiving?

I'm from the UK so I don't celebrate Thanksgiving so definitely Halloween. To be honest, I don't really do much for Halloween either but I do love all the fun that goes with it. 

Favourite Drink?

Probably a cappuccino. It needs to be steaming hot and no chocolate sprinkled on the top! 

What's The Happiest Part About Fall For You?

The happiest part of Fall for me is the rain and getting into stay in at night and watching festive films with my family! I also love the autumnal trees.

Recent Purchases & Honest Reviews

Hi, it's Meg.

Today I'm going to show you some of my recent purchases and what I think of them. A few days ago I had a massive splurge on make up and I know that hurt me and my bank account but I haven't splurged in a while so I guess it's okay?!

So the products I bought are: MUA Pro Base Prime & Conceal, PS... Amplif-eyed mascara, Essence Stay Natural Concealer, Velvet Teddy by MAC, PS... Eyeshadow Palette, Chai Tea Latte Baby Lips, High Lights by technic and MUA Transparent Powder. 

I'm loving the MUA Pro Base Prime & Conceal palette! It is £4 from Superdrug and comes with 3 dfferent colours to conceal different areas as well as a 2 normal concealers. Before, a few weeks ago I'd never used a concealer so I'm just opening my eyes to them all but I'd recommend this if you have dark circles, redness, yellow undertones etc.

I also bought a Primark mascara after being totally swayed to it as of the lovely rose gold packaging and amazing name aha. It is called Amplif-eyed and it has claims to define, add volume and to lift lashes. It 100% does and it was £2!! I love the length of it and it definitely defines my lashes but I wish it thickened them too! If you prefer long lashes and want a mascara that does that pick this up. It was only £2 too so you can't go wrong.

High Beam by technic is a product I'm having a love-hate relationship with. It's quite gloopy and hard to blend but at the same time a pretty shine. It was £2.99 but I'm not sure if I like it enough to recommend yet!?

Another recent purchase is my Baby Lips in Chai Tea Latte. This was £2.99 in Superdrug yet £4.99 in Boots which was odd!? Anyway, this is part of the Holiday Spice collection collection and is very, very autumnal. It's a deep red and for a Baby Lips very pigmented and still moisturising. It's my favourite and easy lip balm and I just love it!!

Two other products I bought are the Stay Natural Concealer from Essence and Translucent Setting Powder from MUA. I love this concealer because it's great for my dark circles and over my spots. It also stays all day and looks so natural. Again, this is £2 and I love how compact it is! Secondly, the MUA  powder is in Translucent and just sets my concealer all day. It's £1 and does what it says!

Swatches of the PS... Palette from the top left to top right, middle left to middle right and bottom left to bottom right going down my arm.

2 very different products I bought are the PS... palette and my MAC lipstick in Velvet Teddy. I bought Velvet Teddy after seeing it everywhere. I'm not going to go into Velvet Teddy because I'm sure you all know what it's like - brown undertones and lovely autumnal shade on the lips.  

I bought Primark's palette for £2.50 after seeing the lovely shades in it. I particularly love the bottom left cranberry shade as it screams autumn to me. All the shades are shimmery and not that pigmented but I still find it easy to create a nice look. For £2.50 it's worth it.

Swatch of Velvet Teddy;

I hope you've enjoyed seeing my reviews on these make up products. These are only my opinions and for some products I don't like you may love!

Have a great day!
