A Day At The Seaside

Hi everyone! I haven't done a lifestyle post in a while and they are probably some of my favourites to read so I thought I'd share with you the really lovely day I had yesterday! Apologies for the photo quality by the way the pictures were taken on my iPhone as I didn't bring my camera with me. Anyway my boyfriend Matty stayed over on Tuesday night and we planned to have a chilled day and just go to the gym on the Wednesday, but I woke up Wednesday morning and could see how nice the weather looked outside and I thought do I really want to waste my day off uni and his day off work going to the gym? I really fancied going to Whitby which is a seaside town in North Yorkshire about an hour away from where I live, so we headed off there!

Considering it was the end of September and it was North Yorkshire where it rains all the time we got so lucky with the weather as it was such a sunny day with that really nice crisp chilly air that you get in Autumn. We got there about half 1 and walked down to the front where everything is and we were so hungry at that point so we got fish and chips from a place called The Magpie Cafe which is a famous fish and chip restaurant that also has a takeaway, we got a takeaway and sat by the sea and it really does live up to it's reputation, if you are in Whitby get fish and chips from there! After that we had a walk down to the pier and then up to the shops and when you're there you have to climb the 199 steps to the top of this hill where you get a lovely view. I did this right after my fish and chips thought with an ice cream in my hand so I was a little bit weighed down but we got there! It really is a gorgeous view when you get a nice day, I definitely think Whitby is underrated so we sat up there for a bit then headed back down to the amusements (it's a must I don't care how old you are). We won three prizes on the 2p machines as well which is a bonus as they are definitely a scam! I also forced Matty to play crazy golf with me as I'm crazy competitive and obsessed with it.

If you live anywhere near here and want to go for a day out I'd definitely recommend it, plus when you get nice weather it's such a gorgeous place and it's filled with amazing food like fish and chips, and loads of sweet shops that do the nicest sweets! Plus lots of amusements and cute little shops, so glad I spent our day off doing something relaxing, let me know in the comments if you've ever been to Whitby!

Go To Autumn Make Up Products

Hi everyone! Since the seasons are changing and everyone (including me) is jumping on the Autumn bandwagon I thought I'd post some of the go to make up products I like to use in Autumn. I'm done with corals and peaches for now and I'm moving on to the lovely warm browns and berry colours.

I'll start with the eyes first, I've used two palettes because they have the most gorgeous Autumn shades in them.

- Too Faced Chocolate Bar palette. This is the first image and to me it actually screams Autumn, I pictured those colours as they are the most fall appropriate from the palette in my opinion, I don't have flash on but one of the shades which is the 2nd in on the middle row is my all time favourite gold eyeshadow and the picture really doesn't do it justice but it is amazing! It's called Marzipan if you are wondering, I don't know why but those shadows all pictured next to each other remind me of a scarf you would wear in Autumn, weird I know. It is definitely my go to palette for this season, I just love it!

- Anastasia Beverly Hills Shadow Couture palette. I pictured these shadows from this palette, particularly Fudge and Morocco as they are gorgeous warm shades that look so nice at this time of year. Also the quality is amazing, they are so pigmented and are so easy to apply.

Berry lips are definitely the trend in Autumn and I've got two that I really like

- MAC Craving. This is an Amplified finish and it is amazing! It's described as a 'burst of plum' and I think it is great for people like me who aren't daring enough for a really dark lip, it is a dark shade but not too full on and very wearable. 

- Too Faced Melted Lipstick in Melted Berry. This one is definitely for when you are feeling more adventurous, it is a lot more full on that the MAC lipstick but so pigmented and the nicest deep berry colour. The applicator isn't my favourite and I would recommend using a lip brush to apply this since it is a bold colour but it is so long wearing and surprisingly not drying considering it is a matte finish.

- Benefit's Benetint. I love the colour of this especially for this season, it is a nice plum colour and I think it gives a nice flush to your cheeks but it is fairly sheer so it doesn't look too crazy once applied. I also love this for when I'm feeling lazy as it is so quick and easy to apply.

- Maybelline Dream Touch Blush in 07 Plum. Another plum colour I know but I think they are so gorgeous at this time of year, I love this cream blush because it is so affordable and a very subtle plum shade. Also you get so much product and a little really does go a long way so very good value for money.

- Benefit Watt's Up. I know I've only been raving about the Mary Lou Manizer recently but for some reason Watt's Up definitely fits Autumn better for me. Gold highlighters are my favourite and this gives a really lovely golden glow but it works for Autumn as well as Summer. Application is a bit more awkward because I think applying it from the stick gives you a bit of a stripe so I prefer dabbing it on my finger first.

It's so funny how as soon as they seasons change so does your taste in make up products, but it keeps things fresh and stops it getting boring I suppose. Let me know in the comments your favourite Autumn make up products!
