Fall Favorites Tag
10:18 PM
Hey everyone!
It’s literally the week before Thanksgiving. As in counting down the days til holidays isn’t as crazy of an idea anymore. This also means only a little over a week before the Gilmore Girls revival!! Is anyone else as excited as I am??
Luke and Lorelai….. I can’t even.
Anyways, recently my fellow blogger friend Samantha from mybeautycloud.com tagged me in the Fall Favorites tag. Thanks Sam! She is an awesome beauty blogger who always has really engaging posts that conveys her personality and sense of humor. I definitely recommend checking out her blog!

So for the Fall Favorites tag:
Favorite eye makeup
When it comes to the autumn months I generally love to go with gold or blush tone eye shadows. I recently purchased the L’Oreal nudes palette because I’ve heard that it was pretty great quality palette for a drugstore item. It’s comparable to some extent to the Naked palettes, or at least that’s what they were supposed to be? Either way, I really love the gold color and I like to make a soft smokey eye with some matte browns and blush colors to darken it a bit. So basically warm golds are what I’m going for this fall.
Favorite candles
I’m not the biggest candle person mostly because I have a fear of accidentally knocking it over and starting a fire. Who agrees with me on this? I do really love the smells of candles and the way they can really liven up the room with the scent. I personally love sweet smelling candles that are basically classic fall foods like cinnamon apple or vanilla bean, or pumpkin pie! So in a nutshell, food. (pun intended)
Favorite scents
Does the smell of freshly baked straight out of the oven cookies count? I mean, granted I love that smell any time of year. But, something about fall that makes me especially love that sweet smell.
Oh oops, it meant perfumes huh?
Favorite nail polish
I really love a dark burgundy color on the nails. I don’t wear nail polish often because I can’t at work, and it’s a waste to put it on for a day and have to remove it. But when I can I really like dark reds.
Favorite lip color
Just like with my nails I like darker hued reds! One I’ve really been into is the L’Oreal colour riche lipstick in Cinnamon Toast. I layer that with the Revlon balm stain in Adore. Together the colors look so good because it adds this reddish brown that isn’t too dark and dramatic for the daytime, but works well for autumn!
Favorite Halloween costumes
It’s past time for Halloween but I mean there’s no harm in planning ahead for next year, right? My favorite Halloween costumes are ones that require dramatic makeup. I’m talking full face. A couple years ago I transformed myself into the Black Swan for Halloween. It was so fun doing the makeup and everything! Having makeup as a big part of a costume is definitely easier because it means spending less money on stuff you probably won’t ever use again. Plus it's dramatic, and who doesn't love a statement?
Favorite accessories
You know me and my obsession with accessorizing with scarves. I have a ton of scarves, half of them in leopard print. Bright colorful cozy scarves are perfect for this time of year because it can get soooo chilly in the mornings! I can wear a plain top, and jazz it up with a scarf to make it instantly look better.
Check out my recent post where I share a couple scarves I recently got!
Favorite drink
Oh my. I don’t even know which to choose! My go-to drink lately has been an earl grey tea latte with almond milk. I used to use soy milk more, but recently I’ve been trying to substitute almond milk for soymilk just to see if it has an effect. Earl grey tea lattes, sometimes called London Fog, are incredibly delicious! Just the smell of a freshly brewed earl grey tea is so enticing. It has this roasty dark complex tea flavor that complements creamy warm almond milk so perfectly. I like it unsweetened, or with just a touch of honey. But typically people get it with vanilla.
But, I also really enjoy apple cider. Warm apple cider with all the classic spices, topped with a small dab of whipped cream is literally like liquid apple pie! Seriously THE BEST thing ever! Or if you go to Starbucks, order a caramel apple spice with light whip and cinnamon on top. It really gives you the taste of apple pie. You really will feel like you're biting into a slice of apple pie. Go try it if you haven’t yet!
Favorite TV show
If it wasn’t obvious from the intro, it’s definitely Gilmore Girls. This show does have spring, summer and winter, yet it always feels like it’s perpetually autumn for some reason! It always gives off these autumnal vibes. Perhaps it has to do with the orangey filter, especially during the theme song. This show gives me the feels! So incredibly funny, heartwarming and perfect to binge watch. But I do need subtitles because their witty banter flies by so fast I can’t catch it when I’m crunching on my snack of baby carrots and roasted red pepper hummus (who am I kidding? it’s most likely white cheddar popcorn I’m eating while having a Netflix marathon)
WHO’S EXCITED FOR THE GILMORE GIRLS: A YEAR IN THE LIFE NETFLIX SPECIAL?!
Okay calm down Andrea. You’re scaring your readers.
BUT SERIOUSLY
Favorite movie
I apologize. I do not watch a ton of movies. I am more of a TV person. I like the continuation it provides with the episodes and seasons and such. You really build connection with the characters, and get invested into the storylines.
Also, I don’t know if this counts per se as a favorite, but I’m SO looking forward to Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. I’ve watched the trailer multiple times now, and I’m definitely gong to be hitting the theaters very soon to watch it!
Are you guys Harry Potter fans?

ReplyDeleteThank you Naimah! Haha I feel like it's an irrational fear because how likely would that happen if I'm careful? But nevertheless I'm still worried bout it! Glad you understand :)

Thanks Sybil! I hope you have a great day!
DeleteI'm SO EXCITED for Gilmore Girls too! I love these kinds of posts, it's so fun to get to know random things about one another. Earl grey and almond milk sounds so delicious, I'll have to try that combo!
ReplyDeleteI am so incredibly sad that the wait is over! Sometimes the anticipation is the best part. Though I was not disappointed with the new episodes! I just wish there were more than just four! The show is soo good!
DeleteDefinitely try that drink, it's really tasty and such a great alternative to coffee. Thanks Kasie!
Yes! I'm actually watching Gilmore Girls now haha I'm up to season 5. Great post!
ReplyDeleteI've been watching and rewatching like crazy! It's so hard not too!! Thanks Chelsey!

DeleteI'm so with you when it comes to the scent of freshly baked goodies! Also eeeeek for the Gilmore Girls happening in one week. Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteDora

Freshly baked treats are the BEST scent ever! I love when the entire kitchen fills with that tasty aroma. And Gilmore Girls omg it's the only thing I've been talking about for the past several months hahah thanks Dora!
DeleteOMG you've brought up so many good things that I haven't even thought of! Like for Halloween costumes, I love doing really dramatic makeup looks. I feel like you can really utilize your makeup collection too. Also, haven't tried warm apple cider! which is crazy because I love apple cider in general. So basically good thing this came out now because it is definitely going on the menu for Thanksgiving. And I don't go to Starbucks too often as now I'm really into sea cream jasmine tea, which I always get from my trusty 7 Leaves. BUT. That drink sounds so appetizing, I'm writing it down for the next time I go.
ReplyDeleteAnd YES, huge Harry Potter fan right here! Sometimes I see Harry Potter themed cocktails or drinks and I always save them so I can make them lol. I heard Fantastic Beasts was such a good movie! I was on the fence about it before but I've heard really good reviews on it so it's definitely something I want to see in theaters soon. Loved reading your favorites!
Sam | My Beauty Cloud
It reminds me of elementary school days when you use what you got to create something elaborate. I definitely love dramatic makeup for Halloween!
DeleteWarm apple cider is such a delicious drink! There are so many layers and flavors revealed when it's warm. Sea cream jasmine tea sounds delicious!! I really want to try that, I wonder if I can get it where I live.
I really want to go to the Harry Potter park to try out Butterbeer. That is something I still have yet to try. I'm so glad the new movie is good because I feel like sometimes these sort of spin offs aren't as good or worth it as the original.
Thank you Sam!
I'm happy to read this post as my first post from you! It's always lovely to get to know the blogger a little more so thank you for doing this tag. Believe it or not, I have yet to try warm apple cider...definitely something that I need to give it a try!
ReplyDeleteShireen | Reflection of Sanity
Thanks Shireen! I'm glad you came by my blog :) I love warm apple cider, it's a great fall drink because of all the delicious autumnal spices. I love cinnamon and apples, and when warm it has such a complex flavor!
DeleteThank you so much for tagging me girl <3
ReplyDeleteHahah I am def. a Harry Potter fan. I plan on watching all the movies before Christmas, and this weekend I plan to go see "fantastic beasts and where to find them" :) I can't wait.
I need to try that Starbucks order if they even have it in Vancouver.
Hahha I wish I was a scarf person, and yes Gilmore Girls.. I feel I have been waiting forever !
I also love vanilla candles. I don't burn them that often, but Christmas is the perfect time.

Yes! I want to watch the new movie before christmas! It will be a nice treat after finals are over. So jealous you watched the movie already!
DeleteI think they have it in Vancouver, if not you can always check with them if they have the ingredients for it!
It feels like eternity that we've been waiting for more Gilmore Girls. SO glad it's here!
Mmmm, i'm with you on appreciating the smell of freshly baked cookies! Also, if you're worried about knocking candles over, you could perhaps instead opt for burning wax melts? :)

I wish I could just bottle up that smell of freshly baked cookies. It's so good, especially when combined with a crackling fireplace. Oh I actually never thought of wax melts! That's a great suggestion, thanks Gabrielle!
DeleteAw, I love candles so much! My roommates and I have way too many haha, we may or may not have a problem. And oh my gosh, Fantastic Beasts!!!! I saw it on Thursday and it's absolutely BRILLIANT. You're going to love it! And thank you so much for tagging me! I can't wait to share my fall favorites :)

Fall candles are the best, they have the greatest scents that just liven up a room so much! I especially love the smell of cinnamon. Thanks Valerie!
DeleteGreat read, but I find that I'm someone who doesn't really like sweet candles. I find it too overwhelming and sometimes get a headache haha
ReplyDeletehttp://www.myclusterofthoughts.com/
I have a massive sweet tooth so anything sweet scented appeals to me too. But I can see how it can be overwhelming. Sometimes these scents can be too artificial and strong and I agree that it can be too much. It can be hard at times to find the perfect balance. Thanks Katherine!
DeleteAhh I'm a Gilmore Girls fan too!

Gilmore Girls is such an addicting show!!

ReplyDeleteRosy | Sparkles of Light Blog
Watching all the key moments is so essential before watching the new episodes! I really love how this show never ceases to be heartwarming and uplifting. So much and yet so little happens but it's just so addicting. I've been rewatching as well haha thanks Rosy!

DeleteFall is my favourite season, you know, and I really like enjoy this period of the year, waiting for Christmas! One of my favourite drinks at the moment are hot tea, raspberry juice and hot chocolate of course!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day!

The anticipation before Christmas is the best thing ever! I love the buildup to the holiday time. The holiday spirit in the air is such a thrill. Ooh raspberry juice sounds so delicious! I'll have to try that! Thanks Roberta, I hope you have a wonderful day too :)
DeleteI love it ! Autumn is the best time :) I'm with you on the candle thing, they're very relaxing until your house is burning down and then it's not so relaxing hehe :) My favourate fall drink is a costa hot chocolate made with soy milk ( they brought out a toffee apple one for autumn and oh my gosh it was amazing ! )
ReplyDeletelots of love, Marianne xxx

I definitely do not want my house to burn down ever!! That would really be not relaxing haha something bout open flames even small ones freak me out
DeleteA toffee apple drink sounds SO good!! I'm gonna have to see if it's available here for me!! Thanks Marianne!
Lol I almost knocked a candle over the other day. I'm so excited for Gilmore Girls!
ReplyDeleteahintofbeauty.blogspot.com/
Ahh that must have been freaky! Haha I am incredibly psyched that the four episodes are finally here too! Thank you Lupe!
DeleteThis seems like such a fun tag! Personally, I'm not the biggest fan of Fall, but thinking about things you've mentioned here makes it a bit easier somehow :D I haven't heard about Gilmore Girls coming back! I used to watch that show with my mom every weekend so it has a special place in my heart :) I'd love to see the new episodes :) xx
ReplyDeleteBeautyPepTalk
I love fall! It also happens to be when my birthday is, which could be why. But either way, there's so much I love bout it. Especially the fact that it's right before the holidays. Gilmore Girls is definitely a wonderful mother daughter show. The new episodes are really great so far! Though a bit different than the old ones. Thanks Kelly!
DeleteI never got into Gilmore Girls but I feel like I'd probably appreciate it more now. Shame there hasn't been any reruns though I might just tune into the revival regardless.

I think there are some reruns either early in the mornings or very late at night. Sometimes when I catch it playing live, I feel like it's even better than just watching from Netflix. I definitely recommend watching the revival!! Thanks Sonia!
DeleteLove all your favorite fall picks, but I have to agree with you that the Gilmore Girls revival is thing that i am the most excited for as well.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.racheldinh.com
It's seriously the one thing I've been living for ever since I heard bout it coming back!! I am soo glad it's finally here! But also a bit sad that this is it. I wish there were more than four. Thanks Rachel!

I can't watch the show without having the subtitles on! It just flies by so fast in a blur! They are so incredibly witty! I really admire the writers and creators of the show, they really know how to make an enticing show without relying on any of the gimmicks of other shows. Thanks Jenn!
DeleteAn early grey tea latte sounds suppper delicious! I've only had matcha tea lattes before but I love black tea too so this sounds so tempting! That and your mentioning of fresh cookies coming out of the oven is making me super hungry lol. Thanks for sharing all your favs :)
ReplyDeleteMili | Sharmtoaster
Ooh matcha tea lattes are really delicious too! I love how frothy the milk can get, and it's such a creamy delicious drink that complements the slight bitterness of the tea. Haha freshly baked cookies are so delicious! That's one of the reasons why I learned how to bake in the first place! thanks Mili!
DeleteI love vanilla scents for the Fall! Burgundy colors are one of my go-to colors for the Fall too. Thanks for sharing. :)
ReplyDeleteBurgundy is just the perfect color for fall. It complements the changing colors of the leaves and the overall mood. Thanks Jennifer!
