LASHES

As a girl with reasonably long lashes I sometimes get asked which mascara I use. My response is usually 'errrr...I'm not sure' as I've just whacked on what I could find that morning. But this got me thinking about which mascaras really do work so I picked my two favourites to share with you. 

1 - EYEKO Drama and Curl - Black Magic

I got this eyeko mascara by chance in a Selfridges beauty box and have not been disappointed. Its curved wand creates perfect curled lashes and is easy to use. Although it's recommended for the evening I actually think this light mascara is perfect for day-wear. I also love the minimal packaging and it's a perfect size for travelling without taking up precious space in your toiletries bag! It's a bit pricier than high street products but its definitely worth the investment if you want clump free lashes that last all day!

2 - BOURJOIS Volume Glamour - Ultra Black

This Bourjois mascara would be my pick for a dramatic evening look. It has a really intense colour and volumises right from the root of your lashes. It's perfect with a smoky eye and you can get the fanned out long lashes every girl desires. Another feature I love is that it doesn't dry out and flake so your makeup will stay perfect all night long. It's priced at £7.99 which I think is great value for such an effective product.

BEAUTY EDIT - AUTUMN KISS

I love trying different shades of lipstick and especially so in the Autumn and Winter months. I think that the colder weather means you can try a much wider range of lipsticks good lip colour can make an outfit. So, as the days get colder, I've picked my must have lipsticks to share with you!

Charlotte Tilbury 'Glastonberry' - £23

First up is a Charlotte Tilbury's Matte Revolution in 'Glastonberry'. On cold mornings, I love deep red shades as I think they add a dramatic warmth to a Winter outfit. I particularly love this lipstick as it's matte so has a rich texture too. I'd wear this shade with a chunky grey knit for effortless winter style. 

Tom Ford 'In the Buff' - £36

Next up is a sheer lipstick by Tom Ford called 'In the Buff'. This lipstick is quite different to the last as it is completely nude in colour. I love the subtle shimmer and the fact that it contains Vitamins E & C and Shea Butter so your lips stay moisturised against windy cold weather. It reminds me of the glamorous make-up shown on Versace's A/W catwalk. 

Bobbi Brown 'Mango' - £19.50

To create a youthful look this Autumn I recommend this lipstick by Bobbi Brown. The shade is named  'Mango' and I love the slight coral tone. I would pair it with a coral blush and light winged eyeliner to bring brightness to the darker days. 

Nars 'Tolede' - £19.50

Quite often I like to enhance the natural rosy colour of my lips with a similar hue. I think Nars' 'Tolede' does just that. The long wearing lipstick looks natural but polished and is an easy way to lift your everyday make-up.

Tell me what you think and I'd love to hear what make-up you will be wearing this Autumn/ Winter?
