Everyday Favourites: Autumn 2015

Tuesday, November 17, 2015

I'd like to say I'm a pretty simple person and even with my love for beauty, there are very few things I wear on a daily basis.  Today, I'd like to show you some of these things that I've been consistently gravitating towards this season. 

Victoria Secret's Victoria: Gone are the fresh, sparkling, fruity and floral scents of the summer and in comes the warm and musky scents that remind people of sweaters and hot cocoa. Victoria is by far one of the most unique scents I've ever smelled. Since I don't particularly have a good nose that can differentiate scents, this is saying a lot. Although it's still kind of fruity (Berry notes) and floral (Victoria roses) it's soften by the mix of warm note from creme brûlée creating a lovely autumn appropriate scent without being overly sweet.

Maybelline Colour Tattoo in 80 Creamy Beige: I'm sure you've all heard about the Maybelline Colour Tattoos. Creamy Beige is from their Leather Collection that's part of their permanent line. It's a nice, matte beige colour that I like to throw on just to give my eyes a bit more depth. I found out that I like applying this with a flat brush more than with my fingers. I just pat the colour on my eye lid and blend out the edges with a brush. When I apply this with my fingers, I find that the product sticks to my finger and tugs when I try to blend it out on the lids.

Etude House Surprise Concealer: This is an amazing concealer that doesn't get enough hype. It's got a doe foot applicator and blends like a dream. It's also really pigmented and affordable.

Essence Long Lasting Lipstick in Barely There: Worn on it's own, this lipstick ages me. I'm sure that this is a beautiful MLBB on many people, but with my light skin tone, this is definitely a bit brown on its own. However, combined with soft brown smokey eyes and a nudey mauve blush, I look mature and put together and it's a look that really differs from my usual of pinks and fuchsias. I wore it in this MOTD.

Physician's Formula Ultra Nourishing Argan Oil: This has made such a difference in my skin that I think I'm really addicted. I add a few drops into my moisturizer during the day and during the night and it just leaves my skin super soft, hydrated, and supple. Reviewed here.

English Breakfast Tea (not in picture): As I was making myself a cup of tea, I realize that English Breakfast tea is something I enjoy having everyday. Orange Pekoe was my previous favourite but I've ran out of that so English Breakfast it is.

  1. The Maybelline Colour Tattoos are great on their own, or as a base!
    I become a total tea junkie around the colder months. I just finished off a box of English Breakfast, but replaced it with Earl Grey. I think I might just pick up another box of English Breakfast anyway.

    1. I love Earl Grey as well! The scent of it is just amazing and so relaxing. Cold weather makes me go through my black tea stash like a mad woman so I've actually cleared out my Earl Grey before Orange Pekoe.

  2. I never heard of the Etude Concealer, I will definitely check it out. And essence barely there is one of my favorite lipsticks I had completely forgotten how much I love it, I shall dig it out of my collection.

    1. The Etude House concealer doesn't get a lot of attention but it's definitely worth checking out. The only downside is, like most Korean cosmetics, the colour selection is limited to two shades. Barely There is awesome! I wasn't sure how I felt about it at first but I'm completely obsessed now.

  3. Tea ftw! I'm guzzling so much David's Teas right now, especially cream of earl grey.

    I have that shade of Tattoo as well! It's such a versatile shade and works well as a primer too.

    1. I've never tried cream of earl grey before but it sounds delicious!

  4. I love Orange Pekoe for a little pick-me-up in the morning! English Breakfast is good too, I should pick some up next time I'm at the grocery store.

    I've heard really good things about the Creamy Beige Colour Tattoo but I haven't tried it yet. I jut got rid of 10 dried up cream shadows, so maybe there's room in my collection for one more...

    1. That's the problem with cream shadows. They're gorgeous but dry out easily. Definitely check out creamy beige though! It makes a great neutral base shadow.

    I just run out my daily concealer so i think to try this one ;)
