Hello everyone! Today I will show you 10 items from all things fashion, beauty and lifestyle I loved most in October and November :) So just drink a cup of tea and cuddle up in your favourite blanket (like I'd do) and I wish you a happy time whilst reading this post :) P.S.: On bloglovin we are now 65, so thank u all for your support :)
First things first, I had a massive obsession with contouring this month. I liked that hint of colour in my face, just to add some definition to my face shape and to give it a bit of colour since it's autumn/winter and the sun doesn't show its face often. For bronzing I liked to use the Sleek Countour kit in light, which contains also a highlighter. This month I've used more the bronze shade and it's absolutely gorgeous! Very easy to blend in and not too dark. I use it on my cheeks (you all know the silly fish face) and at my neck and on the forehead.
When it comes to autumn, there is this one change in the makeup routine: to use darker, berry cheek colour (as mentioned in my autumn trends post). For that I loved Mac "Mocha",a matte blush, which is absolutely stunning! Very combineable with the bronzer. It's basically a dark rosewood colour and fits perfectly in the colder month.
As you might know, I was away in my autumn break for a few days to visit my best friend Steffi (we made a lookbook, so check it out :) ). When we were shopping in her hometown we were at a store called "Kiko", which I absolutely love, because they have such nice beauty products and these for a low price, but with great quality. There I picked up a few things and bought probably one of the most beautiful lipsticks I've ever owned (you know I'm kinda lipstick obsessed). It's from their Velvet Mat range and it's the one in the shade 613 plus it was an absolutely bargain for 5 euros. The lipstick is a nude, slightly plum colour and smells very moisturising, what it absolutely is. It lasts very long and doesn't dry the lips. The packaging is also very fancy and luxury (yep packaging also gets me every time). Absolutely love it!
For eyeshadow I bought an cream eyeshadow stick from Nyx in the colour "Yoghurt", which is a champagney,rose colour on the lids and absolutely gorgeous! It's so easy to blend and you can combine it with other colours and use it as a base or just wear it without any other eyeshadow. It's such a beautiful colour and is perfect for a very fast school makeup. Also a budget buy.

For fashion there was a massive favourite, I wore everyday. It's my new Zara scarf (or should I call it a blanket). It's made from a very soft material and because it's black with white caros, it's so basic that you can wear it with everything. An absolutely must-have in the colder days.
Some item I also loved to wear was a caro blouse with ruffles from Zara (maybe I was a little bit obsessed with caros and Zara?!). It has a very cute cut and has a dark blue and brown caro. Also very basic.
Last item is a black hat from Brandy and Melville. I've searched for a hat since ages! It took me so long to find a hat, which isn't much pricey (sorry but 45 euros for a hat weren't justified). And then I found a black hat for 18 euros at Brandy and Melville (one of my most favourite shop ever). The hat goes with simply everything and can revalue an outifit.
Continuing with lifestyle, I have to admit that I joined the club with one beverage. For sure it's the super-duper hyped Pumpkin Spiced Latte from Starbucks. I had pursue the trend and shared the PSL with Steffi on our succesful shopping day. You have to know I'm not the biggest coffee drinker (you know my love for teas), but this was surprisingly amazing! When you take the medium espresso, it's just a little bit what you taste from the espresso. Mostly it tastes like cinnamon and other spices. Definitely a taste worth!
Last weekend I tried the popular Lemon Drizzle Cake from Viviannadoesmakeup (my inspiration, she's so nice). And it went pretty well and tasted delicious (I couldn't stop eating it)! Perfect to eat for breakfast as a breakfast cake or at afternoon. Check her video about it out ->https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1z54UpordBM
And the best comes always at the end: If you don't know I'm a fangirl (a massive fangirl just saying) from One Direction. And if you are like me, you might realized that they were realeasing their new album "Four" on the 17th November. And how could it not be in my monthly faves? It's honestly sooo good and I can't stop listening to it. The songs are so relaxing (maybe the best album ever!) and I think my favourite songs are "Act my age", "Girl Almighty" and "Ready to run". I'm so proud of the boys! They did great work like always! I'm a fan since 2012 and I will be till the end, because they are the best band on this planet. I can't wait to see them again soon and to see them perform the Four album on stage.
So here we are at the end of this post. I hope you liked it and don't forget to leave a comment.Here's a little announcement: I plan to do a Christmas series with the title #feelingChristmassy. So you will get one new blogpost every advent. I hope you will like it and are looking forward to it :)
