The Autumn Tag

As much as I wish I could wear flip flops all year round, I know that soon they'll be going to the bottom of my wardrobe and I'll be fishing out my boots. Autumn is coming and I've decided that this year I need to embrace it more! What better way to start than by doing The Autumn Tag by Georgina from Makeup-Pixi3 - thank you so much for tagging me Georgina!

For Autumn, what is your..

1.  Favourite thing about it?  I would say that it has to be cosying up with a hot drink in the evening as it gets cooler - I can't wait to buy some hot chocolate! I also hate sleeping when it's hot, so in the Autumn and Winter I love being able to snuggle right under the duvet!

2.  Favourite drink?  As mentioned before I do like my hot chocolate - in any variety! I'm also hoping that Starbucks bring out their Praline Mocha again, nom!

3.  Favourite scent/candle? I love the smell of cinnamon, so I think I'm going to have to get my hands on a Yankee Candle in Cinnamon Stick. 

4.  Best lipstick? I have quite a lot of light pink shades but I think Autumn is the time to rock a deeper shade lip - can anyone recommend any for pale skin? Georgina did a post about Autumn lipsticks here and I do like the look of Revlon Black Cherry and Rimmel Kate Moss Matte in 107.

5.  Go to moisturiser? I'll be using Neal's Yard Power Berry Daily Moisture, which I've started using quite recently and contains lots of lovely organically produced ingredients. It's just a great all round moisturiser - hydrating but not heavy and makes my skin look healthier and brighter. It smells just like mint sauce too!

6.  Go to colours for the eyes?  To be honest I tend to wear the same eye colours all year round - neutrals in shades of brown, bronze, taupe and grey. Although I do like the look of MAC Cranberry eyeshadow, which would be perfect for Autumn!

7.  Favourite music or band/singer to listen to? Again I don't tend to vary much, but I think as the summery dance/pop songs slow down I'll definitely be listening to a lot of bands; I'm loving Bastille and Paramore at the moment.

8.  Favourite outfit to wear (i.e. boots & a scarf combo)? Typically I'd say jeans, boots and a chunky jumper or cardigan, but I got bored of jeans last Autumn/Winter so I want to make sure I wear more wintry dresses with tights and boots this year. I love the colour burgundy!

9.  Autumn treat? (i.e. a new scarf or bag you have your eye on)  I need a new coat this year and a few new pairs of boots as mine are getting to that really worn stage. Plus more burgundy items in general!

10.  Favourite place to be? Aside from at home (there's no place like home after all!), I'd say going a walk in the woods or in the park with my fiance and my dog; she loves playing in the leaves!

I hope you enjoyed reading this tag, I tag all of you so send me your links if you do it! :-)
