AUTUMN / WINTER BEAUTY EDIT

As Autumn is now officially well and truly underway, it's time update the Heyitsjodie beauty edit - specifically tailored to autumn and winter 2017 and it's been a long time coming, especially since my last proper beauty edit was the Winter Beauty Edit back in January. These are my top 6 (I couldn't narrow it down to 5) essential beauty items for the coming (colder) months.

1. Benefit Hoola bronzer 

Yes, this bronzer is making a reappearance from last winter's beauty edit. As I mentioned last time, I don't tan much even in the summer so where there's an opportunity to add a little bit of colour to my pale complexion, of course I'm going to take it - and this is my favourite bronzer to use.

2. Benefit Dandelion Twinkle 

Sticking with Benefit, their Dandelion Twinkle highlighter has become a staple in my make up collection since receiving the mini version of the highlighter in a gift set for my birthday and I can't stress how perfect it is for a day-to-day basis. For me, I don't necessarily like a full-glam glow for a daily basis, especially during winter so this subtle highlight is incredible.

3. Urban Decay Naked Heat palette

If you saw my recent Current Favourites post, you'll have seen that this palette made an appearance. Full of orange / purple / bronze toned shadows, it's basically autumn in a palette, hence why it quite obviously needed to make an appearance in my seasonal beauty edit.

4. L'Oreal Paradise mascara 

Yet another product that was featured in my current favourites post - the L'Oreal Paradise mascara is the best thing to grace the presence of the Earth since sliced bread. I genuinely think this is the best mascara of all time (sorry, Seventeen Falsifeye HD) and I wouldn't want to live through autumn and winter without it.

5. MAC Velvet Teddy

Moving on to lip products, my chosen lipstick for this edit is MAC's Velvet Teddy - an oldie but a goodie. I honestly think this is my favourite MAC lipstick of all time and, no matter what, I always go back to it. It's a super pretty shade for autumn and will forever be a staple in my collection.

6. Maybelline Baby Lips - 'Pumpkin Spice'

This is probably the most seasonally appropriate item in this beauty edit. Firstly, you can never go wrong with a lip balm and, secondly, you can't go wrong with a pumpkin scented lip balm - especially in autumn when pumpkins are all the range, even though we've now passed Halloween.

Obviously, there are plenty of other beauty products I reach for on a daily basis, however these are my top six that I feel I couldn't live without for the next few months - aka the most seasonally appropriate essentials. What are yours?
