FOTD: Autumn Makeup

Hi everyone. Maybe Autumn hasn't officially started yet but here in Greece the weather is definitely starting to remind fall weather. Sometimes I do kinda change my everyday makeup for each season sometimes not. For this fall I decided to change my favorite everyday look to a new one. Here's the look I came up with:
Autumn everyday makeup with drugstore products
This definitely will be one of my go to everyday look for fall/winter! This is easy to create and actually it doesn't take too long to finish it, I think I finished in 10-15 mins probably even less. I think this is good both for everyday and to go out for dinner,drink or coffee.
Products
Face
Revlon Colorstay Active in Natural Beige foundation
Revlon Age defying concealer 
e.l.f. HD Powder

Cheeks
Matte Bronzer
Peachy color from e.l.f. Warm Bronzer as blush

Lips
NYX Round Lipstick in Ceto

Eyes
e.l.f Eyelid Primer
NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk
Taupe and Brown eyeshadows (7 and 8) from NYX Nude on Nude palette on the lid and crease
Matte beige eyeshadow (1) from NYX Nude on Nude palette under the brow and inner corner
Same Brown eyeshadow (8) from NYX Nude on Nude palette on lower lid
Seventeen Eye Pencil in brown on my waterline
Black eyeshadow to line the half of upper lash line
Lancome Hypnose Drama mascara

Brushes
All from Sigma

How to do the eye makeup:
- First apply your primer and eyeshadow base.
- Now use an eyeshadow brush like Sigma E55 and apply the taupe eyeshadow all over the lid.
- With the same brush pack on some dark brown eyeshadow and add it to the outer 1/3 of your lid.
- Use a fluffy brush like Sigma E35 to blend both eyeshadow.
- With angled brush like Sigma E70 apply the matte beige eyeshadow under the brow and in the inner corner.
- Using pencil brush MAC 219 add the same dark brown eyeshadow to the half lower lid and blend it  inwards. 
- With a brown eye pencil line your waterline.
- Lastly with a brush like MAC 212 line your outer half upper lash line.
- Finally apply your mascara and your done.
- Enjoy :)

Guest Post: Favorite nail polishes for Autumn


Hi everyone, my name is Sophia and I run a little blog called Tattooed Tealady. I blog about beauty, with a few lifestyle posts and book reviews thrown in every now and then to mix things up. I am very happy to be here today doing a guest post for Anne. As Anne is very talented with nails, I thought I would do a nail related post! I hope you will all enjoy it.
Getting ready for Autumn
Here in the UK the summer is now over and we are officially in Autumn. Autumn is actually my favourite time of year, because here in the UK, the Autumn colours are just beautiful. I have picked five of my favourite polishes and shades for Autumn to share with you today. I also like to wear these all year round, but I feel they are most appropriate in Autumn and winter.

So here we have my five favourite nail polishes are Autumn. I feel that each of these perfectly represent the colours of Autumn. The skies at night, the leaves as they fall. The flowers as they fade. And the sunsets in the morning. I love each and every one of them, but my absolute favourite of these has to be Scarab by Illamasqua. It’s quite new to my collection but it is just absolutely stunning and as an avid-enthusiast of Ancient Egypt, I adore Scarabs and the meaning they bring, so this is a perfect polish for me. I also really like the Nails Inc. Duke of York Square which I think is a perfect green-teal shade, and I love Grey by Barry M, as grey shades are some of my favourites to wear on my nails! All of these brands are great for polish; they are long lasting, rarely chip and have great colour pay-off and pigmentation. They are brands I turn to time and time again for new polishes, and they never let me down.
