Tag, 8 Fall (Autumn) loves

Hello Everyone, today I am doing a tag! I was tagged by the lovely Khadija to do the '8 Fall loves Tag'
 
1) Favourite nail polish:
My favourite nail polish for Autumn is probably, 'My Private Jet' by OPI! It's such a pretty browny/gold shade that's all sparkly :D

 
2) Favourite Eyeshadow:
I don't really have a favourite eyesahdow as I never wear it because it doesn't really suit me! But if I were to pick a colour I would probably go for a browny, gold orangey shade.

3) Favourite Blush:
 I only own about 2 blushes, but I really love my Sleek one in the shade 'Flushed' which is a really lovely deep pinky/red.
 4) Favourite clothing item:
I would probably say a big knitted jumper or cardigan, but I also love my Leather Jacket I got from Zara, it's so warm and comfy and I wear it everyday! 

5) Favourite Autumn Lipstick:
I love anything deep red for Autumn! SO I would say my Rimmel lipstick '480 classic Wine' or a deep red one that I have from MUA, I don't know the number of this one becasue the label has rubbed off, sorry. 

6) Favourite Auntumn Jewellery item:
Oooh I don't really have one for this, because I just tend to wear whatever goes with what I'm wearing! But I think my gold collar necklace from Kukee is quite Autumnal.

7) Favourite Autumn Perfume:
I think it would have to be either, the body shop Vanilla perfume, because it is so lovely and lasts for ages or another body shop perfume called 'Amorito' because this one is such a lovely scent, I can't describe it all, but it reminds me of Christmas and my Mum because she always wears it too!

8) Favourite Miscelaneous Autumn Item:
My fingerless elbow length gloves form H&M! They are knitted and deep burgundy and I think they are called 'hand warmers' but I just love them! 

9) What is th ething you look forward ot most in Autumn?
HALLOWEEN HALLOWEEN HALLOWEEN!!! :D I get so excited because I love any excuse to dress up really! I always dress up as a witch, not in one of these revealing costumes that people wear to parties, but in a black dress with tights and hat haha!

10) Do you go trick or treating, if so what are you planning on dressing up as this year?
I don't go properly trick or treating, but we take our next  door neighbours little girl around our road to the neighbours hehe! She is only 3-4 and last year she dressed up as Tinkerbell, and I was a witch (again) so I will probably do the same this year. I also love to paint fake injuries on myself, a bit like I did the post on the ripped nail I made, so I could do some more blog posts on that sort of thing for Halloween perhaps?

I hope you all liked the Tag, I tag anybody who wants to do it because I don't want anyone to feel left out so feel free to just do it and say I tagged you :)

Face of the day (FOTD)

Sorry about the bad lighting in the pictures but I left till too late in the day to take them so all traces of natural light had gone.
I am wearing:
Collection 2000 foundation in 'biscuit'
Lash extreme mascara
Sleek blush in 'flushed'
Revlon lip butter in 'strawberry shortcake'

A few little buys

Revlon Lip butter - Strawberry Shortcake £5.99
I finally lept on the blogger bandwagon and bought a Revlon lip butter! (is that a little round of applause I hear?;) ) I have wanted one for so long, and after a Erin left a comment on my blog post telling me they were really good, I thought YOLO! (yes I did just use that ever so hated phrase, but I think it works quite well!) They were also £2 off in superdug, which I think works out cheeper than boots 3 for 2 offer. I am very glad that I bought it now so thank you Erin. I got the shade 'Strawberry Shortcake', it is a fairly light pink and it is soooo creamy and soft, but still well pigmented. I would definitely recommend them! The only thing that would really improve them I think is if they tasted like the names, if that makes sense? Because who wouldn't want  strawberry shortcake flavour lipstick/balm!
Sleek Blush - Flushed £4.29
I then lept on yet another bandwagon, and got a sleek blush.It is the shade 'Flushed' number 935.  I have heard so many people talking about them, and I just think they look so pretty in the sleek packaging. I know you shouldn't by make-up because of the packaging but I am a sucker for pretty pots and boxes.
I then popped into Laura Ashley to look around the sale. I had seen a really cute owl utensil pot online from here, but unfortunately they only had the white one in the shop and as much I still love it in white, it was £10 so I would prefer to wait and get the green one! So instead I bought this cute (not so little) teacup. It was £6 reduced form £10 in the sale. Seeing as I don't like tea or coffee you may be wondering why I bought this? Well I want to put it on my dressing table to look pretty, and to put things in.
