The Autumn Tag!

I saw this tag on a couple of blogs and I had to do it. Usually I am never excited about autumn because it means that summer, holidays and my birthday is over but the past couple of years I have been really excited about autumn and not just because of the prospect of Christmas and presents! I can't wait for crisp leaves, autumn candles, limited edition coffee and seasonal products in stores - as well as autumn/winter cosmetic collections.

1. Favourite thing about it?

Crisp leaves, candles, hot chocolate and the prospect of Halloween and Christmas!

2. Favourite drink?

Gingerbread lattes, hot chocolate and any kind of limited edition coffee!

3. Favourite scent?

Vanilla, coffee or baking scents!

4. Best lipstick?

Probably my Korres lip butter in the shade ‘rose’ as it has a gorgeous berry tint and it is moisturising

5. Go to moisturiser?

My long term go to moisturiser is thr Simple Rich Moisturiser but a more heavy duty moisturiser I have been loving recently is the Organic Surge Super Intensive daily Moisturiser – along with a sample of Hydraluron!

Smokey browns

7. Favourite music or band/singer to listen to?

Currently, vampire weekend, fall out boy and film soundtracks. Also Christmas music during autumn as everything christmasy is already in stores.

8. Favourite outfit to wear?

Skinny jeans, striped sweater, brown boots and a snood – probably a structured duffle coat too.

9. Autumn treat?

More coffee and hot chocolate than I probably should consume – and a bit of cheeky comfort food: cheesy pasta!

In bed! Or shopping…

Recent Bargain Buys #1

I have been loving the recent bargains online over the past three or so weeks; so naturally I had to get some of the deals on offer! Some are from Debenhams, Cheapsmells.co.uk, Urban Outfitters, Superdrug, Topshop and latestinbeauty.co.uk.

I found an amazing offer on Debenhams (which isn't running now unfortunately) where: if you bought anything from Rodial you would automatically get a FREE FULL SIZE DRAGONS BLOOD EYE GEL! how could I pass on this amazing offer, especially as I have been wanting to try the Rodial Dragons Blood range for a while now. I bought a set of mini Rodial products in order to get the eye gel which should have been around £40 on its own! The set is labelled at £35 but I only paid £20 which was great!

A few other little bargains where from Urban outfitters (photograph on the left). Urban Outfitters are having a sale on now and I bought a couple of patriotic items (I am not very patriotic though but they look great). I bought a pack of hand wipes (very interesting I know!) which are cherry scented and they where only £1.50. The limited edition chapstick was also only £1.50 (free delivery too). I also bought a couple of new lip balms (because I need more to add to my collection...) I bought the new raspberry lemonade blistex lip balm, a softlips french vanilla lip balm and I finally bought a Korres Lip Butter Stick in the shade 'rose'.
