AUTUMNAL BASE EDiT

During Spring and Summer, I mostly rely on my light coverage bases or just skin perfecting ones. For the colder months, it is a different ball game. I prefer medium coverage and sometimes navigates to full coverage. I think because of the cold weather, using higher coverage foundations are more comfortable on the skin. I also love a flawless looking skin on colder months. A flawless skin pulls together a smoky eye or dark, bold lips. For Autumn 2015, I've chosen my top five bases from my stash. Some are new and some are old favourites.

LAST MiNUTE and EASY TO PULL HALLOWEEN OUTFIT

Celebrating Halloween has always been tricky when I was a kid. My brother's birthday falls on Halloween and instead of him being happy about it, he used to get mad and he feels different as why there's all this madness on his birthday. He hated celebrating his birthday with all the spooky costumes and it broke our hearts when he requested that he wants a normal birthday party sans the spooky costumes. Since then, we stick to celebrate the day as his birthday the normal way and try to ignore Halloween.We just get so used to it that I remain oblivious to Halloween as years go by. This year however, my colleagues organised a Halloween party. Everyone is on full spirit and I am also beyond excited. This may sound sad and so uncool but it feels like going for a trick and treat for the first time.

MY THOUGHTS ON COVER FX

I have been pretty curious about Cover Fx for awhile as it constantly appears on Lisa Eldridge's videos. Cover Fx, however, had been pretty elusive in the UK until House of Fraser and Space NK started selling them much to everyone's delight. I love the concept of Cover Fx as it aims to deliver make-up products with skincare benefits. How amazing is that?

MAC EYESHADOW STARTER KIT

When you first ventured into Mac eyeshadows, it is normal to feel overwhelmed. Mac, as a brand, probably has the widest shade range for every make-up products there is. When I started buying Mac eyeshadows a few years ago, I can still remember how lost I felt. I just don't know what to get. Luckily at that time, a very helpful Mac MUA helped me (there are not so many helpful ones nowadays). I think starting with nude/neutral eyeshadows is always a good start although their nude eyeshadows alone is on mind blowing scales of too many. I compiled four shades from my collection plus one little extra as to what I think are good shades to start with your Mac eyeshadow collection.

SULTRY NAiLS FOR AUTUMN

For Autumn, instead of buying new polishes (a habit of a lifetime), I instead rummage to my never ending nail polish stash. The deep and vivid hues of Autumn has it's own sultry allure to me. Instead of just picking deep berry hues to which I am loyal each Autumn, for this year I broadened my choices to deep greens, reds, golds, and a daily, more conservative option of greys.

THREE-PALETTE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE BALM

I have been a big fan of The Balm since I first fell inlove with their Mary Lou Manizer. Since then, I tried a good few other bits from the brand. I have yet to find something from the brand that disappoints me as most of the things that I tried are just awesome. Whilst I was rearranging my beauty stash last weekend, I had a few good minutes of The Balm appreciation time. Since I was already mooning about the brand, here I am giving you a piece of my mind of what I think are the top three The Balm palettes.

THREE NEW SKiNCARE RECOMMENDATiONS

The past two months alone, there has been so many new skincare that came out in the market that it becomes baffling of what to get and what is worth the hype. I have been trialling some new skincare much to my skin's aghast but I found out some really good new skincare suitable for even those with sensitive skin. Skimming the best out of the best is often a difficult task but after more than a month's trial, I can finally skimmed and report to you the creme de la creme of new skincare items.

KiKO MiDNiGHT SiREN

If you have been reading my blog for sometimes now, you will know that I am fast becoming a big fan of Kiko. I still haven't recovered of how beautiful their Rose Golden Collection is and now they released another one. The latest collection of the brand is Midnight Siren. The collection takes inspiration from the mystery and magic of the night thus the collection name. The whole collection promises products that are sultry and iridescent.

A NEW DRUGSTORE DUO

I have never encountered any primer and foundation duo that I love both products whether its drugstore or high end ones. It's always a case of either I love the primer and hates the foundation or the other way around. Recently, one of my favourite brand, Soap and Glory, extended their One Heck of a Blot range and released a new primer and foundation. I was bracing myself for one of the product to be a let down but for the first time, I was blown away by two products in one range that I feel I should share the news.

KAT VON D EVERLASTiNG LiQUiD LiPSTICK

Liquid lipstick always has a special place in my heart. Aside that they are easy to apply, most liquid lipstick are quiet forgiving to my lips that is always dehydrated. When the Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick was released in the market, I was blown away with their shade range that I keep on lusting over them. It also comes in quiet a reasonable price which makes it more appealing.

GRACE GLASGOW

I  am a big fan of Daniel Wellington watches. I find that their watches are so chic and elegant. I love the slim and simple design of their watches that are so easy to wear and style with. My first Daniel Wellington watch is so well-loved that when I saw the brand has extended their watch range, I was very ecstatic.

TOP FiVE SKiNCARE RECOMMENDATiONS FOR SENSiTiVE SKiN

While I like to think that I don't have sensitive skin, I am now starting to accept that I actually have one. (Being delusional that I have a normal skin isn't working now. Haha) It is is not however to a point that it is hypersensitive to everything. Hallelujah for that. When I started having severe breakouts at the start of the summer, I went into a panic mode. I tried almost anti-blemish skincare there is and left no stone unturned. In my search for products to keep blemishes at bay and keep my skin happy, I found out that soothing skincare are more effective than their anti-blemish counterparts. If you have sensitive skin, you can relate how a sensitive skin can easily get angry so finding the right balance is a big must. Today, I will be sharing with you the skincare items that are effective and suitable for gals with sensitive skin.

SEPTEMBER FAVOURiTES

Another month has gone and we are getting nearer to Christmas. We are down on less than 90 days before the big day. That thought excites me more than I like to admit although this year's festive season will be a bit of a whirlwind. Before I start waffling of how much I love the holiday season, I will start sharing with you what I have been loving throughout September.
