Autumnal Shades

Hola! I haven't blogged in while but i have taken a vow to blog as often as i can... With the rush of life and mounds of college work building up it's my little outlet to relax and enjoy.

I feel this is an obligatory Autumn post but i'm always interested in the shades of lippy people chose to accompany their wardrobe in this season. Well, finally after quite a few failed purchases I've found 'the one'(s), also considering i'm a picky person i feel this is quite the accomplishment!

Left: Lip Bullet Right: Rimmel 107

This matte deep and rich purple 'Lip Bullet' by Topshop looks perfect on my rather pale complexion to. I find often that when a shade is to dark for me it totally bleaches me out and looks painted on, that is not a look i aim for really. This lipstick is rather out there for me as i normally opt for more subtle lipstick's/balms but make ups all about the 'dare to wear' factor sometimes right? I really recommend this shade to the people who have a skin tone similar to vampires just like me. I'm surely going to match this with some subtle rosy cheeks and maybe test it with MAC Woodwinked which is just an antique gold color; there will be lots of dupes knocking around. 

My second Autumn shade I've forever been in love since last winter with is the Classic Rimmel Kate Moss lipstick in 107. Unlike the other it leans towards the red side. This color matches almost any Autumn themed outfit and always makes you look, in a way, 'put together'. This elegant shade is a rather glamorous deep red and again suits my skin tone. The only fault really is that as it is matte it's rather dry, but not much if you have well prepped moisturised lips before applying.

Organisation

2014- Organisation kick start !

I know its a very boring topic but i really feel at though this year i need to plan everyday and make the most of it. Are you a organised person? I'm certainly not. With my GCSE's coming up, my expedition to Thailand and just general life which you have to keep up with organisation is key. I'm planning on doing this by;

Cute planner from Paperchase!

A diary- Planning each day so i don't forget anything and keep on track. I'm not saying every single day ill have something to do maybe i'll be chilling out, watching movies and drinking -and eating- chocolate or shopping somewhere, (what you will usually find me doing...) But i need to revise, do homework and go gym (which even the thought of makes me sweat tons). This will hopefully keep me on track.

Apps/Notes- I am a list maker, if i have an idea i have to jot it down so my fish brain doesn't have to hold it. My go to list maker is usually my iPhone the amount of notes i have is unbelievable! But also if you go to the 'productivity' section on 'The App Store' there is a range of apps to organize your life! Currently i'm not using any apps but i'm gonna search for a useful one and give it a go. 

Tidy room, tidy mind- I always feel as though your environment has an effect on how feel, for example if its cluttered your mind will be to therefore feeling unorganized. Again, i will admit i'm not the tidiest person... but i will be this year!

L'Oreal Skin Perfection 3 in 1 Micellar Solution- Review

Cleansing water- worth the hassle or not?

This cleansing water is a dupe for Bioderma Sensibio H2O - Micelle Solution (formerly Crealine) which was 'all the rage' in 2013. I will admit i have never used Bioderma because it isn't available in the UK (you can purchase it from link i have provided) but i guess you cant really go wrong with a dupe?

After finishing my first bottle of L'Oreal Skin Perfection 3 in 1 Micellar Solution i quickly repurchased another one. My first thoughts were 'It's just water how good could it be?'. Maybe your thinking the same but i don't think you can really go wrong with a make up remover, cleanser and toner in one! If your lazy with your skin care routine like me -which reminds me i must shake of my laziness in 2014. When i use the product ,which is usually at the end of the day, I apply a small amount of it on a circular cotton pad and wipe it round my face as it 'dissolves' the make up (sometimes i repeat this process depending on the amount of make up)  I then use a separate one for my eyes and lips just pressing and wiping gently. After this my skin almost instantly feels soothed and refreshed, don't get me wrong i love make up but my it doesn't half make skin feel like it cant breath; if that makes sense...

I really do highly recommend if you have very sensitive skin which reacts strongly with the rubbing of face washes and make up removing wipes, which sometime you have to use several of and decent ones are pricey. At only £3.32 you cant really go wrong eh? My bottle lasted weeks.

Have you used this, what are you thoughts? or are you a Bioderma lover?
Let me know in the comments, i love reading them:)
