My Autumn Nail Polish Favourites



Hi everyone! Long time no see, Today i'm going to be showing you my favourite nail polishes for Autumn. I love metalic nail colours for Autumn as they spice up an outfit and look great for day and night. So lets get started.


17 Nail polish
I got this nail polish last Christmas in a set so I don't think you will be able to buy it separately. This is a gorgeous turquoise colour that looks similar to the nail polishes you'd find in Topshop. You only need a few coats with this and it will last for a few days.


This is a gorgeous glittery pink colour that would look great for nights out and for Christmas. I got this quite a while ago but I've managed to find it on the Boots website. The only problem I have with this is that it does take while to get off with nail polish remover as it does have glitter in it. This is also really long lasting as well.


I bought this nail varnish from Fragrancedirect.co.uk as it was really cheap, around £2. This is my first matte suede nail polish so I was intrigued to try it. It is a gorgeous burgundy/ wine colour that looks perfect with autumn clothes. However it does come out darker than it looks in the bottle, so you only need about 2 coats of it. This lasts around 5 days so it is long lasting. 


A purple shade for Autumn is a must have as they are really wearable! You can buy this from Superdrug. This is my favourite one from Barry M. As you can see it does have some shimmer in it which looks really nice on your nails. The swatch unfortunately came out much darker than it actually is so you might have to Google search for some swatches! This is a real bargain at £2.99 and is a must have for Autumn.


I absolutely love the colour of this and would look great with most outfits in Autumn. I also bought this from Fragrancedirect.co.uk. The quality is really good considering it was only £1.99. The brush is fairly small but still applies the nail polish evenly.  I would definitely recommend Calvin Klein nail polishes as you can find them on the internet for really cheap prices.

Hope you enjoyed reading this post!

My Lipstick Collection


Hi everyone! Today i'm going to be showing you my lipstick collection. A lot of my lipsticks are from Avon as it is where I started buying my makeup from.

No7 Moisture Drench Lipstick in 'Mulberry' SPF 15
I received this lipstick from my work experience at Boots. The formula is quite matte and it would look great for autumn and winter! It also has SPF in it which means it protects your lips from the sun. You can buy it HERE

No7 Sheer Temptation Lipstick in 40 'Lovely'
This lipstick has a really lovely shine to it. As you can see in the photo, it has a bit of glitter in it. It creates a shiny lip gloss effect as well which isn't sticky. I love it! You can buy it HERE

Natural Collection Moisture Shine Lipstick in 'Rose Petal'
This lipstick is really cheap at only £1.99. However I feel that this shade does not suit me very well as it is too pale for me. It also leaves your lips really dry and I found that it doesn't moisturize them very well.
Avon Lipstick in 'Sparkling Nude'
I love Avon lipstick as they are really pigmented. This is a lovely nude shade. It would look great for spring and for winter.
Calvin Klein Lipstick in 'Ethereal'
I bought this from fragrencedirect.co.uk at a complete bargain of £1.99. The colour is a medium toned pinky/coral  shade. The pigmentation of this lipstick is great and does last for a long time. It has a nice raspberry smell to it as well. You can buy it HERE
Color Trend (Avon) Lipstick in 'Sequin'
This was one of my first lipsticks that I own and I really enjoy wearing it. It has a really natural finish and gives off a nice shine. It was also really cheap.
Avon Lipstick in 'Nude Mocha'
I bought this lipstick mainly because of the unusual packaging. You simply twist it up with one hand and apply it to your lips. However the colour didn't really appeal to me when applied. It's not long lasting and it comes off your lips quite easily.
Avon Lipstick in 'Frozen Rose'
This was my second lipstick I bought with the unusual packaging. I really like this colour as it has a really sparkly sheen to it. It look great n your lips and has a nice creamy formula. This is one of my favourites in my collection.
Avon Anew Lip Plumping Lipstick
This lipstick is really moisturizing and creamy when you apply it. It works great on dry lips. This lipstick could also be used as lip balm due to its formula. Its not that pigmented and looks quite natural. you can buy it HERE
MAC Lipstick in 'Angel'
This is my first and only product that I own from MAC. It has a Frost finish which means it has a shimmer to it an is quite creamy. The colour is a light pink shade. I only use this lipstick on special occasions as it is quite expensive. You can buy it HERE
ELF Lipstick in 'Posh'
The pigmentation in this lipstick is amazing! It has a bold colour which stays on your lips for a long time. This ELF lipstick was only £1.50. I recommend these lipstick and I will be buying more in the future. You can buy it HERE
Avon Lipstick
I adore this lipstick and the colour is perfect. Its really annoying as I don't know what shade this is as the sticker has peeled off! The formula is creamy and applies really well. Its also really wearable for daytime and nightime
Unknown Lipstick
I have no idea where this lipstick is from but I do like the colour of it. The colour is really bright and bold with great pigmentation. I wish I knew where this came from as I would buy more.
Avon Lipstick in 'Mauve Moon'
This is a lovely cherry shaded lipstick. The formula is really creamy and applies nicely. It also has a really nice smell to it which reminds me of strawberry jam.
Avon Lipstick in 'P303'
I think this lipstick was a limited edition one as it is quite unique. It has a jelly/balm on the outside and has the lipstick on the inside. This make the colour really glossy and have a lipgloss effect to it. The colour is bold and would look great to wear for a Christmas party.
Avon Lipstick in 'Red Kiss'
The pigmentation of this lipstick is crazy! I applied one coat of this and it appears bright and really bold. The lipstick has a pretty marble effect to it. It also is really glossy and looks amazing on the lips.

Hope you like my collection!
