I’m in a really bad reading slump I used to read thirty or so books in summer and this summer I haven’t read a single book I’m reading Giovanni’s Room by James Baldwin but I’ve been reading that for quite a while. I don’t know what happened, but I’m going to try harder now. So I thought I would make a post about it so that I'm more likely to try a lot harder.

I’ve got the flu and fever, sitting in bed, everything hurts and I’m dying. One of the blessings of Mother Nature in winter I mean it’s still pretty hot outside, but everybody is getting sick and sneezing all over the place. And when you’re doing absolutely nothing it gets you thinking about your shitty life decisions so here’s to reading more.

Well if you don't know velvet is in this season by now then you probably wouldn't be reading this. Velvet is picking up where it left off in 2016, it’s making a comeback in fall 2017. But not everybody wants to wear a straight up velvet dress, it’s not everybody’s style or speed, and blazers are pretty basic, classic wardrobe staples, and you don’t have to spend a fortune on blazers there are many high-street options, price tags don’t matter it’s how you wear them matters.

Here’s a rundown of my favourite blushers/ blushes depending on how you say it. Nothing more to it, to be honest, these are my most loved blushers, no rhyme or reason, other than that they perform well on me.

I’ve always wanted to jump on the monthly favourites bandwagon so here goes. And I’m really struggling with blog post ideas so here’s one already taken care of, since these are the things I’m already liking and using. I love reading about others favourites, what their skin type is and what’s working for them, I think they are really fun to do. So here is the mish-mash of the things I’m loving this month.

Ah, it's finally October, leaves are orange and red and I just can't get over it so I'm stating the obvious and sounding really corny. But I actually am pretty chuffed about it, but I love cold weather, I don't like to sweat my arse off, so I love the winter warts and all (warts being the flu season, don't love it but I can take it).

And it's at last sweater weather or jumper season, whichever you prefer. I love to bundle up in winter, and you can just throw on a sweater with some jeans and you are good to go and they are pretty easy to layer too.

But you know those sweaters/jumpers that are so expensive that they cost you an arm and a leg, well, I despise taking care of those they are first up so freaking expensive and then on top of that they are so high maintenance as well, so I steer clear of those, they can start looking wonky pretty quickly if you do not take care of them properly, and if it's· an inexpensive sweater just get a new one and they last for a pretty decent time too. here are my picks from the high street that in eyeballing maybe something will strike your fancy as well.

Primers oh primers, some people love ‘me some hate ‘em and some don’t even use ‘em. Primer preferences vary not only from skin type to skin type but also your needs and what you want from your primer. Oily skins want a Mattifying primer (which I keep at a ten feet distance), dry skins want a hydrating or illuminating primer (thank the lord for hydrating primers), some want pore minimizing primers or soothing primers well you get the point. What might work for me might not work for you and vice versa. Here are my favourite primers for my dry as the Mojave Desert skin.
1-Backlight Priming Filter $38.00 ㅣBecca

This has a very subtle perfumy scent, just to let you know if you're sensitive to smells but it's very subtle though.

2-Angel Veil Skin Perfecting Primer $16.00ㅣNYX

This one is pretty self-explanatory, it's like a veil for your face, I know it's a dupe for an Hourglass one but I can't remember which one.
3-HangoveRX Primer $32.00ㅣToo Faced



It smells like coconuts that is my super helpful review/explanation.
4-Photo Finish Primerizer $42.00ㅣSmashBox



Heaven in a bottle for a bone dry skin.
5-Foundation Primer Radiance Bronze $38.00ㅣLaura Mercier



Slightly bronzy with a little bit of dewiness and it'll make your foundation stay.

I kinda bit off much more than I can chew with this Top 5 series, but Imma see this through. Hope you are having a brilliant day wherever you are, and I wish the best if you bit off much more than you can chew.
