The Autumn Tag

I was reading Makeup-Pixi3's blog when I came across her new tag - The Autumn Tag. She said if you read her post and have a blog then consider yourself tagged! The same applies to my blog - so here we go...

For Autumn, what is your...

1.  Favourite thing about it? For me it has to be the slightly cooler weather - where it's comfortable to wear a big snuggly jumper but the temperature isn't so low that you get cold ears and a headache.

2.  Favourite drink?  It has to be my usual favourite throughout the year which is a chai latte, though I do love having the Christmas themed drinks in October. I've heard that the UK are finally getting a Pumpkin Spice latte from Starbucks this year! Though it may just be a rumor I'd love to try it.

3.  Favourite scent/candle?  It's got to be the Christmas Cookie candles from Yankee.

4.  Best lipstick?  I've only recently started to wear lipstick so I only own two - one is by MAC and the other is by MUA. I would have to say it would be a nice bright red to a nice dark red - I can't decide between them.

5.  Go to moisturiser?  I usually just go for Simple's light moisturiser but I think I need something a bit heavier in the Autumn - any recommendations?

6.  Go to colours for the eyes?  Black, like usual - although I do like adding a touch of dark colours, such as a reddish pink or dark metallic purple, if it suits my outfit.

7.  Favourite music or band/singer to listen to?  I find I'm listening to more relaxed / less heavy music at the moment, and I can see myself listening to a lot of Frank Turner in the near future.

8.  Favourite outfit to wear (i.e. boots & a scarf combo)?  I love getting dressed in Autumn - there's just something about hiding away in a big baggy jumper that feels very comfortable. I'm on the lookout for a new scarf since I lost mine running for a train, but my favourite pair of boots are Dr Marten Triumphs, though they do take a fair bit of time to get on and off with no zip and just laces.

9.  Autumn treat?  (i.e. a new scarf or bag you have your eye on) As I mentioned earlier, probably a nice flowy scarf, something light but that can also be wrapped around a few times for cooler days. I've got my eye on All Saints.

10.  Favourite place to be? Probably at home or inside, with a window close by.

So there are my answers... :)
