I mentioned in my Autumn Lovin' post that one of my favourites about autumn was the ability to wear plum colored lipsticks again, and I thought I would share my favourites with you.

Purple and plum shaded lipsticks were my absolute favourite thing to wear last year, and I have gathered a small collection of different ones, but for this post I have narrowed it down to my current top three.

The first one is the Maybelline ColorSensational in Plum Passion which is a georgeous shade. Usually, I'm not really into lipsticks with a shiny finish but this is one of the few that I don't really mind. I featured it in my Autumn Essentials post last year along with the Maybelline Color Drama in Berry Much, which is also one of my favourites. This one has a matte finish, and the shade is a bit darker and has a more berry-toned shade, which I really like. Finally we have the Borjouis Rouge Edition Velvet in Plum Plum Girl which is kind of a new edition to my collection. I have been obsessed with these lipsticks for a couple of years now, and they just work so well for me. It has a matte finish and once you have applied, it stays put and will not budge. The color is a beautiful plum shade, which is not as red toned as Berry Much (although it looks a bit like it on the picture).

Lately, I have been getting a lot better at changing my nail polish before it all chips off by itself, so I thought I would share some of the shades I have been wearing this summer.

The first one is my all time favourite - Rimmel's Soul Session which is a part of the Kate Moss Nude collection. It is the perfect slightly pink nude shade which has a my-nails-but-better effect, and people always compliment my nails when I wear this.

Next is Essie's Eternal Optimist. This is a beautiful peachy pink shade, which I have been wearing a LOT all through spring and summer.

The next two shades are both a part of Barry M's Gelly Hi Shine collection. The first shade - Prickly Pear - is a pale purple which has been my go to for the days I want something a bit more colorful.
The second shade is Elderberry. It is a beautiful pastel blue which is still a bit colorful, but just pale enough to match everything.

What are your favourite nail polishes for summer?

School is crazy busy at the moment so I don’t have a lot of time to write blog posts, but I thought I would share some of my essentials this autumn - dark shaded lipsticks (especially purply/plum colored ones), reddish-brown colored eye shadows, candles, hot drinks, hand creams, cream blushes and fairy lights (although to be honest, I’ve got those out all year).

I have always hated removing my makeup because I always found it to take such a long time, and most of the time I (sadly) just end up using wet wipes, which is really not the best thing. For the last couple of months I have been using a horrible Nivea makeup remover, which was soooo bad, and I kept telling myself to get a different one but I always forgot. A couple of days ago I finally ran out of it, and so I was kinda forced to get a new one.
