Hey everyone, welcome back to my blog!
Autumn, the season of all things red, brown and orange has finally come around. I am constantly reaching for products during the Autumn months so in this post I thought I would share ten of my must haves for Autumn. Let's get started...
So the first essential for Autumn is an intensive moisturiser. I recommend an intensive one because in the colder months my skin gets really dry so you'll want something to really nourish your body. Also, this one is perfect because it is cocoa scented which is one of my favourite Autumn/Winter scents as it reminds me of yummy hot chocolates (more on that later)! I really like the Vaseline Cocoa Radiant Continuous Spray as it is so quick and easy to apply.
I love painting my nails deep purple and orange in the Autumn so another essential would have to be dark coloured, glittery or red/orange nail polishes. My favourite brands are probably Rimmel and Barry M as they last a long time and have a nice finish. The nail polishes from left to right in this picture are Mirror Mirror gold nail varnish, Barry M matte polish in Expresso, Rimmel lasting finish in 193 Black Cherries, Rimmel 60 seconds in 403 Orgasm and a purple Technic nail varnish.
I don't know about you but in the cold seasons my hair gets very dry and frizzy. The perfect cure for this is L'Oreal Elvive extraordinary oil miracle hair perfector. You hardly need any of this to notice a difference as it instantly tames your hair. This is a definite Autumn must have.
My next essential is a night cream because again my face gets very dry when it's cold weather. Before I go to bed I just dab a bit of this on all over my face and once I've massaged it in it leaves my skin feeling really soft and moisturised. The night cream I use is the Nivea regenerating night cream for normal/combination, I highly recommend a regenerating cream because it repairs your skin while you sleep so it is fresh by the morning.
My hands are so dry in Autumn and Winter because of the cold and also the heating especially at school. So I always carry my Soap & Glory Hand Food mini around with me so that way I can always have super moisturised hands! This is a really good hand cream and it smells just like marshmallows.
Orange, red and purple coloured lip products are vital for Autumn. In the picture above are some of my favourites. Starting at the bottom and going clockwise, the first lip product is the MUA lipstick in the shade 'Nectar' which is a really nice vibrant orange once on your lips. Next I have a lipstick by Technic which is really pigmented and a gorgeous classic red colour. The next product is actually a tinted lip balm and it is the Baby Lips 'Cherry Me' which comes out as a nice sheer dark red. After that I have the Seventeen lip lustre in the glittery purple shade. I then have another Seventeen lip lustre but this is in the shade 'Wild One'. The last Autumn lip product is another Baby Lips but this one is called 'Grape Vine' and is a beautiful berry colour.
The next essential is a piece of clothing and it is a gilet or body warmer. I think these are perfect for Autumn because if one day it is too hot for a coat but you still want to be warm then a gilet keeps your actual body warm but lets your arms breathe. I like this red gilet from Hollister because it has tartan inside and a big furry hood!
The next item is pretty simple but VERY important and that is hot chocolate. Whenever it is a cold Autumn day I will come home from school and most likely have a mug of this yummy stuff. I just use this Cadbury drinking chocolate which smells amazing and tastes just like Dairy Milk. For a more fancy treat you can always add whipped cream, sprinkles and mini marshmallows:)
The next Autumn essential has to be candles. They make everything feel so much more warm and cosy and if I am having a bath I will always surround my self with them. My favourite candles for Autumn are by Root Candles, a company I discovered at the Ideal Home Show in London. The scents I like are Sampaquita (left) which smells like Jasmine and French Vanilla (right).
My last essential is bath bombs and bubble bath! There is nothing better than getting into a hot bath filled with huge bubbles and a colourful bath bomb fizzing away on a cold Autumn day. Ooh that rhymed! Go with whatever your preference is but I love lush bath bombs (the one above is called Frozen) and the Soap and Glory Calm one Calm all bubble bath.
That concludes my 10 Autumn Essentials post. To see more of my blog posts follow me on Bloglovin or by clicking the Google follow button on my homepage. I hope you liked this Autumn themed post, comment your number one Autumn essential.
