The Autumn Tag

Good morning! I stole yet another post idea from The Princess and the Geek who recently did a "Spring" Tag but changed it for the Southern Hemisphere. I've never done a tag before so I thought I would do this tag as I love Autumn & Winter!

1. What is your favourite nail colour for Autumn? 

I think my favourites are definitely this blue from Revlon and any dark red or purple!
2. Best drink for Autumn?

This! Real Chai is sooo good. I make it with soy milk and a little bit of honey and it is perfect.

3. What goes on your lips in Autumn?

I have really dry skin, and in the colder months my lips love to get dry and chapped so Honey Trap from Lush is kept with my at all times and I use their lip scrubs whenever my lips are really bad!

4. What's your favourite thing about Autumn?

Um, everything? I live in a bushfire prone area (last year 1/3 of our street was lost) so the cooler months means no worrying about that. Plus we have a fireplace where we can light a fire, the cats all love to snuggle in bed with us when it's cold and winter clothing is the best! Scarves, beanies, jumpers - I love it all. 

5. Best perfume for Autumn?

I received this from my Secret Santa at work a few years ago and to my surprise I really liked it! An older man in the office had me and I guess he was good at picking scents! I don't believe this is cruelty free so I won't repurchase it.

6. What TV series are you watching the most at the moment?

Copying Molly here and saying Game of Thrones because it's one of my favourite shows! Ahh so happy it's back and it's been so exciting! 

7. Do you wear a different eye shadow in Autumn?

I am a neutral eye shadow wearer, so I never really change anything but I think this Stila Sensational in Sydney palette would be good for Autumn. 

8. Do you change your hair for the changing season?

No, I change my hair whenever I feel like it! I don't worry about the seasons when making my hair decisions. 

9. What kind of music do you listen to in Autumn?
Whatever I feel like, but there is one particular song I like to listen to in the colder months -

10. What kind of fashion items/accessories do you opt for in Autumn?

Beanies and scarves are my favourite accessories, but I also like long necklaces and this bear from ASOS is my favourite! 

That's all. I hope you enjoyed my answers, if you want to do the tag you should!

Bellabox August 2012

I love beauty sample boxes, and I also enjoy looking at boxes other people have received so I thought it would be cool to put up monthly posts on the boxes I receive (Bellabox and Lust Have It)

In this month's box :

Lush Ro's Argan Body Conditioner - Full size price $29.95 (I bought a full size of this a week before the box arrived! It's very good. I may do a review at some point!) 

Lush status - DO NOT test on animals!

Aveeno Daily Moisturising Lotion - Full size price $8.49 (on sale at Priceline) 

Aveeno status - owned by Johnson & Johnson who DO TEST on animals

Seeing as how this is tested on animals, I will probably be giving this to my Mum or a friend! 

EmerginC Skincare  - Full size prices Cleanser $44 and Phytocell cream $105

EmerginC status - DO NOT test on animals

I will try these out, but they are very expensive so I doubt I would buy full size products.

Aurora Spa Rituals Shampoo & Conditioner  - Full size prices $40 each

Aurora Spa Rituals status - DO NOT test on animals 

I am going to put these in my shower today to test! They smell good.

Phytocare Daily C - Full size price $17.40 for 30 sachets 

I will definitely be drinking these as I am in need of a vitamin boost!

Phytocare status - DO NOT test on animals (they also make cosmetics) 

Luk Beautifood Lip Nourish in lemon and mint  - Full size price $24.95

Luk Beautifood status - I asked on facebook and they DO NOT test on animals. I REALLY like this. It looks a bit dark in the tube but it's not dark on. It's very creamy and the colour actually suits me! Totally putting this in my handbag.

So I am pretty happy with this month's box! I think I prefer Bellabox to Lust Have It. 

I hope all the links and info on animal testing help!

Makeup Haul

I went a little nuts this week with makeup purchases. I needed a few things and some other things were just on sale or I wanted them! Here is my haul!

Firstly I got a few Revlon nail polishes. Rio Cool, Peach Smoothie (scented), Ultra Violet, Pink Lingerie, Silver Star and a top coat . A couple from Priceline and four from Gloss who had them on sale! 

 Second from Priceline I got Face of Australia Charcoal liquid eyeliner and Revlon ColorStay Aqua Mineral powder. I like the powder but not the tiny brush. I had to buy a bigger brush!

 I got the Paparazzi Princess eyeshadow quad from Chi Chi, two nail polishes (Walk the Walk and Cyber Vixen) and a brush. I got the primer free! The brush is great, no shedding. Chi Chi is pretty cheap and it's really good!

 

I got these last two polishes from Sportsgirl and the pink lip liner too :)

 

Finally, a new makeup case from Gloss for my handbag. Very pretty.
