Champagne & Berries

November has finally swept in with silvered frosty mornings and bitter cold nights. Whisper's of Christmas and the bustle of festive shopping has started as pumpkins are tidied away and the leaves drift from the tree's. I've pulled out one of my favourite colour combinations for the chilly days - champagne and berry, my go-to November colour palette!

First up is the Charlotte Tilbury Eyes To Mesmerise in Jean, a divine pick. This shimmery champagne cream eyeshadow brightens up tired eyes with light reflecting pigments and gives a heavenly soft sheen to the lids. Also, it's enriched with vitamin e to keep the eye area hydrated - ideal for the colder days!

For a dreamy glow, the Topshop Glow Highlighter in Polish is the one. Creamy, iridescent and almost ethereal, the slight pink peach tones in this pearlescent champagne highlighter perks up tired skin - it's SO flattering! I like to dab this on my cheekbones, cupids bow and down the centre of my nose for dewy skin, it blends seamlessly and gives a gorgeous runway glow!

The last of my champagne picks is MAC Soft and Gentle, a gorgeous golden champagne highlighter with subtle sparkles. A light dusting of this mineralised highlighter awakens and brightens the skin with luminous, shimmery pigments. It doubles up as a eyeshadow too!

Moving onto berry tones, Mac Plumful is a beautiful pick for every day wear. As a lustre finish it's light and comfortable on the lips and the mauve pink tones are soft and subtle - it's so pretty on.
For a bold, saturated pick, the NYX Soft Matte Lip cream in Copenhagen is divine. A glorious deep matte burgundy it packs a punch and lasts for hours and hours. Plus, it smells like vanilla buttercream - heavenly!

Lastly, Essie Sole Mate, a glossy berry is ideal for a quick, fuss free mani. A staple for autumn, it looks chic worn alone or can be paired with a glitter accent nail for a festive touch!

What are your favourite champagne and berry tones?
