NOTD: Nails Inc Chelsea

Nails Inc Chelsea - £11

I am in love with all the rich and opulent tones associated with Autumn at the moment; deep berry lips with matching dark nails, a glass of mulled wine, I'll stop before I get carried away! 

Nails Inc Chelsea is the perfect nail polish colour for this time of year, it is a rich, velvety, dark plum-black, as you can see in the swatches above, it appears black but has enough warmth not to make pale skin look grey. The formula is pretty opaque so I only need to apply one coat, out of habit I applied two in the photos but you really don't need it! This shot was taken after 3 days of wear with a Sally Hansen top coat so as you can see it is pretty chip resistant! It is easy to apply and dries quickly, what more can you ask for?!

A massive thank you to my good friend Emilie who gave this to me, it's my new favourite!!

The Red Lip of the Season: Rimmel Kate Moss Matte Lipstick 107

Kate Moss Matte Lipstick 107 - £5.49

2 layers and blended out

When the buzz started around the new Rimmel Kate Moss Matte Lipsticks (here) a month ago, I could not wait to get my hands on the colour 107. I then saw a post by Anna from Vivianna Does Makeup with the vampy lips and nails and I knew I had to have it!

They were released on October 3rd so I was straight down to my local boots to pick this up, I was going to get some of the other colours too but I manage to control my spending... for now anyway!

First of all, I LOVE the packaging! The beautiful matte red tube is something to behold, imagine pulling it out of your handbag to touch up your lippy - gorgeous! The 107 colour is a deep wine-y red with blue under tones, perfect for the Autumn months. The texture is more demi-matte, but I think this is actually very smart as it is therefore easier to wear! Having lips in good condition will definitely help this to look better but a matte lip balm applied before should help it to look pretty perfect. Another option would be to apply a small amount to the middle of your lips and blend out to a stain, as above in the swatches.

It is definitely a bold lip but I think most people could pull of the colour, I like to pair it with a nude matte eye and bit of peachy blusher.

Attempting to rock a red lip and trying on coats with my great aunt!

Brand Love: Jo Malone Nutmeg and Ginger Cologne

Nutmeg and Ginger 30ml - £38

Jo Malone is a British fragrance powerhouse and has quickly become one of the most recognisable high end brands in its field. I have been in love with their scents for years as my mum is a big fan, often wearing Pomegranate Noir or their classic 154, and I have been lucky enough to get a few of their perfumes for myself more recently.

Nutmeg and Ginger is the latest addition to my collection. A perfect warm but fresh scent to carry you through the next few months! It begins with a flourish of fresh citrus and woody tones and settles in to its warm nutmeg and ginger base, perfect for the red leaves and darkening nights of Autumn! Imagine fireworks night with your first mulled wine of the season.

This really is a beautiful scent, as are all of the Jo Malone fragrances, and I would highly recommend a trip to your local JM to try them out! I am looking forward to their new Blackberry and Bay fragrance to layer with this.
