Favourite Fall Lip Colours

Hello Everyone!
So I know it has already been autumn for a while now but here in the UK the weather has only just started to get chilly which is good news becuase fall is my favourite time of the year. I know its really cliché but my favourite thing about autumn is that when the leaves start changing colour and the oversized woolly cardigans and jumpers are out and most of all I get to wear my onsie! 

Another thing I love about the autumn is that I can wear my darker berry shaded lipsticks and lip glosses. So today I thought I would share with you some of my favourite fall lip shades. I will also be doing a post on my favourite fall nail varnishes so check back for that.

L'Oreal Paris Glam Shine Balmy Gloss ~ 
So first off is the L'Oreal Paris Glam Shine in the shade  'Dare The Dragon Fruit'  (which I must say is an amazing name for a lip colour). I absolutely love this shade becuase it is very subtle and elegant but is still a really nice dark berry colour. I also really like the slight shimmer in this shade as it just gives it that extra bit of glam.

MUA Power Pout Colour Intense Tint & Balm ~ 
Next is 'Crazy In Love' from MUA's Power Pout collection. This is pretty similar in the last one regarding application and texture, however it is a very different shade as it is a much deeper red/pink tone and isn't shimmery. I like this one for an everyday lip colour in the autumn as it is not to dark but is still bold. 

MUA Intense Kisses High Intensity Gloss ~ 
I don't usually go for lip glosses, especially in autumn winter time when the wind is blowing becuase we all know what happens when the wind blows your hair in you face, which then gets stuck to your lip gloss, leaving you standing there trying to rid your face of your tangled, lip gloss filled hair! However, I have taken to this gloss as it is not sticky and it also glides on very nicely. I love the colour as it is so bold and vibrant. Not bad for drug store product! I Bought this in shade 'Stolen Kisses'  which I also love the name of.

Revlon Renewist ~ 
I bought this out of the pound shop a few months back as I didn't really have many dark lip colours at the time. I bought it in the shade 'Radiant Ruby ~ 180' along with 2 other similar shades. It goes on very easily and the colour is very bold, however the colour doesn't last very long which is slightly disappointing so I have to re- apply it throughout the day. 


What is your favourite lip product/shade to wear in autumn?

Review | MUA Heaven And Earth Eye-shadow Palette

Hello everyone!
This is the first review i have written on my blog but hopefully, it won't be to bad so here it is...


Heaven and Earth eye shadow palette ~ £4
First off i'd like to say just how much i love this brand, their products are so cheap but such great quality and i would definitely recommend them to anyone on a tight budget or for people who are just getting into make-up. Almost every one of MUA's products are under £4. You can get lipsticks, lip gloss and eye shadow for just £1 as well which is great!


This was the first eye-shadow palette i bought from MUA and i was extremely pleased with it. I really liked that they were all neutral, earthy tones which really suit my skin tone, and that they had a slight shimmer. I also soon found out they they were great for creating a natural smoky eye look. The palette contains 12 beautiful shades, which is great if you're like me and your always changing you combinations. My favourite combination to use is 1,4,10 & 12 as i think they all compliment each other really well and create a great smokey eye. I also love the fact that the first shade can be used as a highlighter. The palette comes with a double ended sponge applicator brush which is okay, but i prefer not to use it.

Overall, I think that £4 is a bargain to say you get 12 absolutely gorgeous shades and a brush! I would definitely recommend this palette to everyone as you can create so many unique looks for daytime or evenings. All of the shades are super pigmented and so easy to apply and blend.

However, the only downside to MUA is that their products are only available at Superdrug or the MUA website which you can click the link here if you would like to go and have a nosey at some of their other products.

What's your favourite MUA product?
