Primark's Autumn Winter Collection is always amazing, but this year I really think they've got some amazing stuff! There are lots of lovely autumnal sweaters, brilliant coats and some amazing scarfs.

 I've invested in one of each of these pieces to make add some things to my work wear wardrobe. It's really important for me to look professional as I'm going for lots of interviews and meeting with new potential employers.

This a great smart grey coat that I think looks far more expensive than the £25 I paid! It's a nice soft felt style material with popper fastenings. It's also got nice deep pockets.

The scarf is so so soft! It's a boucle style knit with a fringy end, and a marbled grey colour. It was just £7 and it's lovely and cosy!

My final purchase, and the one I was a little less sure of, was this green bat-wing sweater (complete with dog fur). Now I wasn't sure about this purely because I couldn't tell if the style would suit me. However I have barely taken it off since first trying it on! It's really cosy and the perfect thickness for this weird autumnal weather we have at the moment.



Primark has really got it right this season, what have you been buying there at the moment?

Change up the lip colour


Mattify the skin

In the summer I get lazy and I cannot be bothered to fight the glowy, dewy look and so I use a bb cream with either none or very little powder however once we get to the colder months I am more willing to fight the shine that can come from moving between the cold of outside and the warmth of buildings and transport.

(and also!) Add more moisture

Whilst this is not a make-up tip but rather a skin care one I feel a bit cheeky including it, but I’m going to anyway because I think it’s so important. I have oily skin and I get a lot of spots, but the most important thing for changing from summer to autumn is to moisturise your skin really well using a creamy oil-free moisturiser during the day and if you’re feeling brave your normal night cream and a facial oil at night. Your makeup will not sit nicely on your skin if you don’t moisture and it will help even if you have acne, promise!

Use some glitter! 

In the summer, I use a liquid highlighter to define the tops of my cheekbones, but in the autumn, I prefer to use a shimmer powder. I use the Body Shop's Brush on Radiance to add a little colour and shimmer to highlight my cheek bones in the day, and on my brow bone in the evening!


These are my go-to ways to make my make-up feel more seasonally appropriate and whilst not all of them are very exciting, and I’d definitely like to be braver with my make-up, I find these ways easy and simple.

Now half of me is super excited to have graduated, and really glad not to have to move away from home again. I am also really glad to no longer have the write essays or take exams because whilst I love learning, I really dislike being tested on my knowledge. Of course I know why we are tested, but sometimes it’s nice to just take in information without having to prove you understand.

Besides all that, I know that I will be okay. Regardless of whether I decide what I want to do in a month or in 6 months or even a year I will be able to make a decision and start my life on a pathway that will lead me to happiness.
