My Picks | November Lovin'

November. How is it already mid November?!? 
I've been so busy with school and work that I totally forgot to post this earlier, oops!
Nails:

November marks the start of stormier makeup trends so I chose four polishes I that I thought would be quite fitting.
China Glaze Midtown Magic: A chocolatey brown with gold and copper shimmer running through it, yum! Deborah Lippman Lady Sings The Blues: A navy blue gelly base with small and large silver hex glitters suspended in it. O.P.I. Lucerne-Tainly Look Marvelous: A metallic graphite shimmer. Nubar Purple Rain Glitter: A bluey purple gelly base with purple holographic glitter. This one actually looks a million times better in person, it needed a glossy topcoat to bring out its magic.
Beauty:

Soap & Glory Lid Stuff - What's Nude: I picked up this mini palette in Boots a few weeks ago because I've been loving nude smokey eyes recently and this one seemed like a great travel option! It features three mattes and one metallic shade and each are subtle yet pigmented enough to last all day.
Bath:

LUSH Northern Lights bath bomb: Another of Lush's recent releases, Northern Lights is easily my favourite. The divine fragrance mixed with the beautiful colour make it a real treat in the bath. It features a neon yellow and blue core that fizz away and the cute little stars are just adorable! Being cylindrically shaped meant I got two dreamy baths out of this beauty!
Craft:

DIY Wooden Advent Calendar House - Hobbycraft: Since I can't enjoy normal chocolate advent calendars (and the fact that I'm probably a bit too old for them too!) I thought I'd create my own! When I start this little project, I'll keep you all updated!
Ooooh and I just realised it's ONE MONTH till my 18th birthday!!

My Picks | October Lovin'

I genuinely cannot believe it is October already. Where has the year gone?!? Wow. That means that I have been a) working for a whole year already! b) been back to school for almost two months c) need to start getting my warmer clothes out!
Anyway enough rambling, here are my picks for October:
Nails:

For October I picked five shades that were suitably autumnal. My swatches do not do any of these beauties justice! In real life they look a lot more like the bottle colour when on the nail.

 OPI Designer Series DS Indulgance: A fiery gold flecked amber with an amazing duochrome finish!

B. Complete 162 Woodland: A dark earthy green with an emerald shimmer. Ciate Paint Pots Wait Until Dark: A metallic petrol purple with a slight duochrome finish. China Glaze Champagne Kiss: An amazingly opaque fine champagne glitter. Barry M Gelly Chilli: A beautifully consistent brick red.
Beauty:

Sleek MakeUp Arabian Nights Limited Edition palette - £7.99: This is the latest release from Sleek and I think it's perfect for October! Don't you think the bottom row would make some awesome smokey looks? As always they are beautifully pigmented and with the exception of the second shade on the top row, have minimal fall-out. (p.s. that blue isn't that bright!)
Fashion:

New Look Navy Butterfly Print Scarf - £7.99: I bought this scarf a few days ago and I love it! I'm a huge scarf wearer and this is a lovely addition to my collection. It's wide enough to wrap around nicely and light enough not to weigh you down.
Home:

Yankee Candle Wax Tart - Honey Glow and Amber Moon: I love burning a wax tart in the evening to wind down and Yankee Candle make some of the best. For their latest release, Indian Summer, they released four new scents and these were the two I chose.
