hello! thursday tags are the most chilled posts to make for me and I decided that because it's thursday I should write one up! I have seen a lot posts of the autumn tag floating around in the blogosphere and thought I should take my spin on it :) haven't been tagged by anyone but it's still fun, right? leave me links to your posts if you've done this!

For Autumn, what is your...

• Favourite thing about it? 

the leaves everywhere, crisp air (even though I hate the cold weather, I have a cold allergy where my fingers swell up if they get too cold and my blood doesn't circulate as good to my hands and feet so it's a definite struggle, considering I live in a country with a pretty cold climate). also the fashion - scarves, earmuffs, hats, coats and so on!

• Favourite drink?

tea or cocoa. I'm always drinking tea to keep me warm and cocoa on those special evenings with a candle on and a good tv show :)

• Favourite scent/candle?

has to be vanilla and cinammon. I love sweet scents all year around but it just doesn't seem right to burn a tropical candle for example so I choose cozy and warm scents! (also apples!)

• Best lipstick?

I don't own it yet but I'm lusting over Kate by Rimmel 107. it seems like a lovely fall shade.

• Go to moisturiser?

at the moment - garnier moisture match!

• Go to colours for the eyes?

reds, oranges, burgundy and purple shades.

• Favourite music or band/singer to listen to?

don't have a favorite band, I just like the same music all year, doesn't change on the season, changes depending on my mood :)

• Favourite outfit to wear (i.e. boots & a scarf combo)?

studded boots or wedges, warm coat, infinity scarf and gloves.

• Autumn treat? (i.e. a new scarf or bag you have your eye on)?

I will go crazy on makeup this season! I'm already after some matte shadows and the lipstick I mentioned earlier! also, a few candles I have my eye on :)

• Favourite place to be?

somewhere warm and cozy, curled up in a blanked on the bed (preferably with my boyfriend), drinking hot cocoa or tea and watching a movie.

thank you for reading!

what is your favorite thing about autumn?

Thursday Tag | 40 make-up questions

hello again! today, as a part of my thursday tag weekly post, is a 40 make-up questions tag, which I've been tagged to do by the lovely Julia from Tres Queentastic. go check out her answers to these awesome make-up and skincare related questions that will hopefully reveal something more about me! let's get it started, shall we?

SKINCARE

• -How many times do you wash your face daily?

2-3, it depends on the season and what I've been doing that day. 

• -What skin type do you have? (dry,oily,combo)

dry to very dry

• -What is your current facial wash?

I currently use Freeman's refining facial cleanser.

• -Do you exfoliate?

yes. my skin always gets flaky and gross and I have to exfoliate every 3 days or so to keep it nice and smooth.

• -What brand do you use?

I used Eveline's facial scrub but I ran out of that and now I have nothing. still not sure if I'll buy the same one (I loved it!!) or if I'll try something new.

• -What moisturizer do you use?

at the moment I use some crappy moisturizer that my mom gave me because I ran out of mine. I'll buy Garnier's moisture match as soon as I get some money, though :)

• -Do you have freckles?

a lot, mainly on the bridge of my nose. but in the summer it goes all over the face and those on the nose get really dark.

• -Do you use eye cream?

nope, I want to, though!

• -Do you or did you have acne prone skin?

I do.

• -Did you ever have to use Pro-activ?

nope, never did.

MAKE-UP

• -What foundation do you use?

Essence's soft&natural make-up, which I'm inlove with. great coverage, great feeling, long lasting, non-drying.

• -How about concealer?

essence's coverstick concealer in 01 matt sand and I hate it. it settles and dries weird and doesn't cover that well either, I just have nothing else to use at the moment

• -Do you know your undertone color?

I believe it's pink, I'm not quite sure. I have redness on my face and I like to use a little more yellow-based foundations to hide that. 

• -What do you think of fake eyelashes?

love them, never tried them, though. I will in the near future!

• -Did you know that you are suppose to change your mascara every 3 months?

oh yes, I've learned it the hard way.

• -What brand of mascara do you use?

essence also. wow, I use a lot of essence.

• -Sephora or MAC?

never been to either but Sephora, because they have tons and tons of brands I want to try like benefit and urban decay, on the other hand MAC can offer only one.

• -Do you have a MAC Pro-card?

nope.

• -What makeup tools do you use in make up application?

beauty blender, eyeshadow brushes, duo-fiber brush, angled brush, eyelash curler.

• -Do you use make-up base/primer for the eyes?

yes, I have one that I've made myself and it works wonders in keeping my eyeshadow on!

• -For the face?

I have one that I don't like so suggestions are always welcome!

• -What is your favorite eyeshadow (color or shade)?

I love champagne colored shadows, I could never have to many of those.

• -Do you use pencil or liquid eyeliner?

liquid liner all the time.

• -How often do you poke your eyes with an eyeliner pencil?

I rarely use it so no.

• -What do you think of pigment eyeshadows?

I think they are messy but the colors always looks amazing!

• -Do you use mineral makeup?

no.

• -What is your favorite lipstick?

at the moment it's rimmel's lasting finish 038 'in vogue' because that's the only one I own currently :D

• -How about lipgloss?

don't really like it, depends on the mood.

• -What is your favorite blush to use?

I'm inlove with peaches and corals. don't own any now.

• -Do you buy your makeup on ebay?

no, don't trust it.

• -Do you like drugstore makeup?

it's super over-priced here but I do like it because I can't really afford anything else

• -Do you go to CCO's? (cosmetic company outlets)

yes, they have the best deals!

• -Did you ever consider taking make-up classes?

yes, I think I will in the future.

• -Are you clumsy in putting on makeup?

nope, I'm pretty used to it, except if I'm in a rush.

• -Name a makeup crime that you hate?

lately I've been spotting girls with terrible winged eyeliner and I hate that look of thin line up until eyebrow. I think it should be neatly done in order to look good.

• -Do you like colorful shades of makeup (lipstick,eyeshadow) or neutral ones?

I love colorful lipsticks and eyeshadows, don't know if I could pull them off, but I'll buy an eyeshadow pallette with colorful shadows soon so I could test it on myself!

• -Which celebrity always has great make up?

Rachel Bilson and Lauren Conrad!

• -If you could leave the house using just ONE make up item,what would you use?

definitely mascara. 

• -Could you ever leave the house without any makeup on?

yes, I have many many times, especially now when it's summer and I'm going to the beach almost everyday. I never wear makeup to the beach.

• -Do you think you look good even without any makeup on?

I think I look ill without any mascara because of my pale eyelashes but that's not a problem. I feel like I'm used to seeing myself without any make-up.

• -In your opinion, what is the BEST makeup line?

oh my, no idea, since I haven't tried a lot!

• -What do you think of Makeup?

it's my love and passion and I love that it makes people feel better and be more confident and artsy on their own. I, myself, am not an artsy person at all, I never liked drawing and stuff but with make-up I always feel completely in my zone while doing looks on others and on myself. it's my outlet.

hope you enjoyed and feel free to do this TAG yourselves, leave your links of the posts so I could see them, comment on them and read them!

Thursday Tag | Would You Rather (Beauty Edition!)

It's Thursday, which means the fun for me, because it's TAG time! I love reading them as much as writing them myself. Today I chose would you rather: beauty edition TAG because it's been floating around on a few blogs here and there and I added it to my 'thursday tag' list and since I'm pretty busy today I thought this would be a fun post to think about. I've read the questions before but haven't thought a lot about that so we shall see what comes out of it! 

Would you rather lose all of your mascaras, eyeliners, lipsticks, and lipglosses or lose all of your palettes and eyeshadows?

Oh well, that's pretty hard! I don't have a lot of either of those but I think I would be sad if I lost mascaras and liners and lip products. That's way more than eyeshadows and maybe I could find a replacement of those somehow? 

Would you rather chop off all your hair or never be able to cut it again?

Definitely chop off! Think about it - there are more than enough real looking wigs out there that you could fake having gorgeous hair until yours grow back out. But never chopping it off??! Never. How could I walk around with hair until my knees or something? How to braid them or wash them?! Too much. Definitely chop! 

Would you rather have a coral cheek or a pink cheek?

Since I have only one blush in my life and that's red-ish dark pink I can't really tell which one suits my skin better. But I definitely think coral, since I love the color and it would make a lovely blush!

If you had $1000 to spend, would you rather buy clothes or makeup?

I would love to spend it on makeup but much more rational decision would be to spend it on clothes. I could buy a lot and wear them for years to come!

Would you rather apply lipstick as eyeliner, or eyeliner as lipstick?

I think my answer is eyeliner as lipstick. I've seen a couple of colored eyeliners suitable for lips like pinks or reds. And they would be much more enjoyable on the lips than sticky or creamy lip product on your eyes - it must be uncomfortable!

Would you rather only shop at MAC or Sephora?

Never been/don't have any of those but from what I've heard through the years I would definitely pick Sephora. You can buy tons and tons of different brands in Sephora and you can buy only MAC in the MAC store. Also, I've heard that Sephora actually carries MAC but I don't know if it's true or not since I've never even been near to one.

Would you rather only use one eyeshadow color or one lip color for the rest of your life?

One lip color! I love eyeshadows, they can make you look 10 times more done and dolled up and a light pink sheer color is perfect for all looks in my opinion. Much more suitable for different occasions.

Would you rather wear winter clothes in summer or summer clothes in winter?

I would much rather burn my ass off in the heat of summer with winter clothes on than freeze to death in shorts and tank tops in the winter. I could seriously die in winter but if I stayed in the shadow with winter clothes on maybe I wouldn't be all that hot anyways?

Would you rather have dark nails or bright nails all year round?

That's a hard one. I will have to say darks, just because I love dark nail polish on me, and there are so many to choose from! Maybe a dark blue with bright blue or pink sparkles would make up for the loss of brights?

Would you rather give up your favorite lip product or your favorite eye product?

My collection is so close to not being one at all that I can't answer these questions seriously. Maybe one fave lip product? I'm sure I could find a dupe for that in the long run. Or maybe even a better product. But my eyes - not so much.

Would you rather only be able to wear your hair in a ponytail or a messy bun?

Messy bun! I love those on people. And I have a classmate that wears ponytail for 3 years now and I've never even seen her in different hair styles and believe me - that creeps me out. Messy buns are supposed to be messy so they would look different every time, while ponytails are pretty much the same.

Would your rather never be able to paint your nails again or never use lipgloss?

Never use lipgloss, only because I could change that with lipstick or lip butter that looks like a gloss. Smart? Yes. :D

Would you rather shave your eyebrows and have none at all or sharpie them in everyday?

Oh my god, that's my biggest nightmares right here. I hatehatehate sharpie eyebrows and they would look even more yucky on me so I would probably choose to shave them all (fun fact: my natural eyebrows are so light that the ends are not even visible from afar. I have to dye them from time to time or fill them in so I would have any)

Would you rather live without makeup or nail polish?

Nail polish for sure. As much as I love to paint my nails there is so much more I could do with all the makeup available than with nail polish, right?

Hope you liked reading my answers. I personally found this tag to be quite depressing. I would hate any of these things to happen and don't even want to think about it.

Thursday Tag | This or That (Book Edition)

Another day, another series. I'm on a sudden idea overflow and decided on one more series - Thursday Tags. I believe these weekly series will help to have some kind of routine without being too overwhelming with scheduled posts week to week. I promise I will keep a lot of spontaneous posts coming too!
I was tagged by the lovely Julia to do this tag and I immediately did! So here's my answers for all of you lovelies!

Audio books or book in hand?

Book in hand for sure! I don't think I would enjoy someone else's voice. I like to read it and imagine it all. If you didn't know - I have a very nice imagination and like to drown in a book if you might!
Soft or hard cover?
I had to think about this and decided that I like hard cover books more - they seem more sturdy and as a clumsy person I am I would probably spill something on a soft cover book and ruin it. 
Fiction or non-fiction?
I love fictional books! I've read a book called The Road of Lost Innocence by Somaly Mam and it was a non-fictional book where the author tells about her teenage years in sexual slavery. Very touching and interesting and from that I really want to read more non-fictional books, I just haven't yet.
Fantasy world or real-life issues?
Fantasy world! The whole another universe and thinking really inspires me. I don't know what it is about it - I just can't get enough. As I said - I love imagining and creating a world in my head.
Harry Potter or Twilight?
I remember when I first read Twilight. Stayed up till 5 am to finish the whole book in one night. I was a crazy book-worm back then, and still am. Nevertheless, Harry Potter is way more awesome. I cried and kept shaking while reading the last book. Very interesting experience, I might say!
Kindle, iPad or other?
Never read on any of those. I have my trusty phone if I really want a book and it's still not translated. But I love hard copies way more than e-books.
Borrow or buy?
Borrow! Never bought a book, except in my childhood, just because I personally think it's a waste of money since I never read a book twice and they are super expensive! Libraries offer a large variety of books and I like that.
Book store or buy online?
Book store! I love the variety and all different books in every corner. It's my sacred place. I usually go there for inspiration of books I want to borrow from the library.
Standalone or series?
Series, because I hate the feeling of a book ending and never knowing how it all got from there. I love that I can continue on with my favorite character adventures. Also, series usually end way more settled as standalone books end with a cliffhanger. 
Monster read or short and sweet?
Monster read! I love getting into the huge book and going through pages and pages of never-ending story.
Starry eyed romance or full of action?
Full of action, just because I easily get bored with a book and want more action. I love romance too - just haven't read anything in a while - maybe know would be the time? 
Curl up in your snuggie or lay in the sun?
Lay in the sun. I love reading outside while tanning. Sunglasses, music and a good book - perfect summer day for me. I'm also one of those odd people that doesn't hear anything around while reading, I just get so invested in the story-line!
Hot chocolate or latte?
Hot chocolate ♥
Read the review or decide for yourself?
Both. I love reading book reviews because they give me inspiration on what to pick up next, but I'm more than okay picking book by myself.
Hope you liked this sweet post! If you decide to do this - leave your post in the comments! I would love to read it. Also, if you have any suggestion on my future reads, leave them bellow (warning, I have read A LOT of books!)
