Meeting Zoella! - Girl Online 2 Book Signing ♡

Hey guys!

This post is just going to be a short one showing you a couple of photos from when I finally met my idol (Zoella) at her Girl Online 2 book signing in Brighton!  

Zoe was honestly so kind and friendly, she was so genuine and came across just as she is in her videos which was so nice! I haven't yet started Girl Online 2 since the book signing, but I am going to make sure that I do very soon!

 Unfortunately due to the amount of people there and time limits you weren't allowed to take posed photos / selfies with her, but your parents were allowed to take photos while you were with her! So creds to my Dad who took the first photo for me!

  I just want to do a bit of a disclaimer and say that I am in no means trying to brag about the fact I met Zoe - I was extremely lucky to get tickets to go with my best friend, and it was part of my Christmas present from my parents. I also wanted to share these photos on my blog as a memory to keep! If you love Zoe like I do but haven't got the chance to meet her then I hope one day you will, as I'm sure she will do lots of other events! *Fingers crossed for Girl Online 3 and book signings for that! :) * 

 I hope you all have an amazing Halloween tomorrow whatever your doing!

My Favourite Palette for Autumn - GOSH Cosmetics! ♡

Hey everyone!

Today I'm doing a post on my new favourite palette perfect for Autumn, and it's the GOSH cosmetics "To Enjoy in New York" palette! This palette is available in Superdrug,and retails for £9.99. 

So in this palette you get 9 shades, mostly plum colours, with a neutral grey and brown. There are also a couple of shades perfect for highlighting (top left) which I have tested under the brow bone and in the inner corner of my eye, and it gives a beautiful shimmer similar to MAC's "vanilla" pigment. 

Here are swatches of all the shades, going from left to right in each row:

The shades don't have names, but all have shimmer in them, so I use MAC's paint pot in "Painterly" to prime my eyes, and then use these gorgeous shades for a berry eye. If you love your red lipstick, then wear it with a purple smokey eye and it would look fab!
The shades are really pigmented, and as long as I prime my eyes (I have oily eyelids) then they stay on all day, and don't transfer to under my eyes!

For £9.99 I think the palette is really good, and it offers a pretty range of shades to create numerous different eye looks with, which look great in the Autumn and Winter!

I hope you enjoyed this mini review! Also, I thought I would just let you know that my new blogging schedule is that there will always be new posts once a week on a Friday, but I will also try and post  more throughout the week when I can!

See you Monday!

The Autumn Tag! ♡

Hello beauties!

As its getting into the cosy Autumn/Winter months I thought I would do a good old tag! I originally saw this on a girl called Georgia's blog ( http://www.makeup-pixi3.com )so creds to her for this fab idea! The last tag post I ever did was a "20 Facts About Me" one, which happened to be the first post I ever did on this blog, so I think one is long over due! :)

So grab some snuggly blankets and a warm cuppa as this may be a long post!

1: What's Your Favourite Seasonal Drink?
My favourite seasonal drink isn't available until Christmas, but its the white hot chocolate from Costa's! It tastes amazing, and they sprinkle cute little gold stars on top which I love.  But I also like one from Starbucks which you can get all year round, and its their luxury hot chocolate. It's perfect for if  you've been shopping and you fancy a sweet treat!

2:  Favourite accessories?
My favourite accessory during Autumn is definitely a red tartan scarf! I just love the way that it looks with my green parker jacket, and it keeps me nice and toasty when I'm outside and its cold!

3: What's your favourite music to listen to in Autumn?
I don't really change my taste in music as the seasons change (apart from Christmas of course!) and I normally just listen to whatever is hot in the charts. But recently I have been loving Ariana Grande, as her voice is just perfect and her songs are great!

4: What's your favourite scent for this time of year?
At the moment its the Zoella blissful mistful perfume! It's just a really floral, girly scent and I love it!

5: What scents will you be burning this season?
I really love the smell of Yankee candles, even though I don't own one, but hopefully this year I'm going to get my hands on Snowflake Cookie, because it smells incredible!
P.S - a good tip for making your room smell lovely is to have a basket full of festive lush products- it fills your room with amazing smells and lasts until you use them!

6: What do you love most about Autumn?
This is a tricky question, but I love lots of movies, hot chocolate, snuggly pyjamas, scarves, thick jumpers, the berry makeup looks, and red lips! I also love being able to go outside and see all the leaves changing colour, because it makes me even more excited for Christmas!

7: Favourite makeup look?
This time of year is when I whip out all those berry eye shadow shades and red lippy's! At the moment I have been using the GOSH cosmetics "To Enjoy In New York" eyeshadow palette, it has lots of deep purple and neutral shades perfect for this season! (Post coming soon!)

8:  What are you looking forward to most this Autumn?
Hot chocolate, shopping with friends and the countdown to CHRISTMAS! :)

I hope you enjoyed this post, see you next time!
