Autumn Beauty 2017 & Hotel Chocolat

Autumn Beauty Picks 2017 – Edit One

The seasonal colours of Autumn inspire me, warm colours of the crunchy Autumnal leaves displaying reds, browns, russets & oranges showcased on golden branches which look especially beautiful during sunset.

Showcased here are a selection of beauty edits to help inspire your makeup wardrobe for the approaching Winter months.

From left to right:

Limited Edition Clinique Pop in Palm Beach Pop this funky Limited Edition lipstick has been designed in collaboration with Jonathan Adler. A nice twist on the pop with its statement packaging.

Surratt Beauty Grande Palette containing two eye shades and two blushes. The grande palette is a great way to personalise your choices from Surratt in one place, portable, luxurious & lightweight.

For the eyes I opted for Soie a silky nude & Marron a rich aubergine shade, great for creating a warm smoked eye makeup look.

For the blushes I chose Duchesse a Soft Peach & Ponceau a pretty poppy shade. Each blush offers a highly pigmented lit from within look & blends so effortlessly. A pleasure to create something personalised.

Naked Heat by Urban Decay which is one of my ultimate must have palettes for Autumn & Winter because of the wonderful mixture of gorgeous warm tones!

With colder weather soon approaching I hope that this chocolatey infused feature has given you some beauty inspiration to warm up your makeup wardrobe for the colder months.

Did you know Hotel Chocolat have their own range of chocolatey infused luxury beauty gifts called Rabot 1745? Showcased above is the Cacao and Almond Body Butter which is gorgeous, along with two lip balms ideal for Winter, Honey Chocolat Lip Balm and Almond Chocolat Lip Balm, both scrumptious.
