Tag | I ♥ Fall

source

I have been tagged by the lovely Angela at The Beauty Belle to do this super cute and fun fall tag! Now I have never been a fan of the colder weather because well, it's cold! I prefer summer, the sun, the beach... but yes, fall is beautiful, and I do love to wear cozy clothes and relax wrapped in a hot blanket with a cup of tea, not to mention that the good thing is that there is no snow - yet!

1. Favourite Fall Lip Product?

If you have been reading my blog for some times, you should know by now that I don't abide by any rules when it comes to makeup and the seasons - I wear what I like, when I like it, and even if it's Fall, I'm not particularly keen on dark and vampy lipsticks. Would I be boring if I said that my favorite fall lip product is lip balm? I can't get enough of NUXE Rêve de Miel and Carmex!

2. Favourite Fall Nail Polish?

As stated previously, I am as likely to wear bright shades as much as dark ones, because hey, what is better than painting your toenails yellow to cheer you up on a dull, cold and snowy or rainy winter day?

3. Favourite Fall Drink?

The original question was 'Favourite Starbucks Fall Drink' but since I have stepped foot only once in a Starbucks - and I don't even remember what I ordered, but it was certainly none of their 'fancy' drinks - I am just going to answer with my favorite fall drink, which is probably hot chocolate with marshmallows... or tea with marshmallows... or coffee... pretty much everything with marshmallows ahah!

4. Favourite Fall Candle? 

Anything with peppermint or cinnamon and I also associate sweet fragrances with the colder months. I don't have a favorite candle but I do really enjoy Time & Again Crackling Wick Scented Candles in Sweet Peppermint which smells fresh yet not overly sweet, and it makes that comforting sound that if you close your eyes, you can easily imagine yourself sitting next to a fire - how genius is that?

5. Favourite Fall Scarf or Accessory? 

This cropped faux-leather jacket that I got for only $20 at Ross during my trip to Wildwood -  I have a thing for motorcycle jackets, and it's even better if it's cropped and if it has zippers! I bought it in Small and even though it does run small and it's not very stretchy, I will be sure to make the most out of it while it's not too cold outside - I especially like to wear it with an oversized scarf.

6. Haunted House, Haunted Hay Ride or Haunted Corn Maze? 

 I'm not exactly sure what is an 'haunted hay ride' and I don't think haunted corn mazes are that scary - at least, the ones I went to - but I'm way too easily scared to even enter an haunted house so I would say, neither of those!

7. Favourite Halloween Movie?

My favorite horror movie series has to be Saw - of course! - and horror movies are my favorite ones, especially the ones with ghosts or spirits because I am a firm believer in ghosts. I am not a big fan of those silly demons, zombies or supernatural creatures movies though. 

8. Favourite Candy to Eat on Halloween? 

I prefer chocolate over candy - Caramilk, Mars, Oreo - yum! - but I do enjoy my share of sour candies too!

9. What Are You Dressing Up As For Halloween? 

I am still hesitant between being a sexy sailor or a referee - which one would you recommend?

10. What Is Your Favourite Thing About Fall?

Definitely the cozy clothes, warm blankets, hot chocolate and bonfires!

Mail of the Week (December 12 - 16)

KORRES media kit: Can you imagine my surprise when I was approached by Melissa with the opportunity to try some KORRES products? I never knew these were available in Canada, but yes, you can actually find them in selected Shoppers Drug Mart. Here's what the media kit contained:

• Quercetin & Oak Antiageing & Antiwrinkle Night Cream 
• Quercetin & Oak Antiageing & Antiwrinkle Eye Cream
• Wild Rose Face and Eye Brightening and Line Smoothing Serum
• Basil Lemon Extra Moisturizing Body Butter for dry skin

Goodies from Time & Again by GANZ: I received the cutest package from the very lovely Sandra this week! I have never heard of GANZ before but when I was given the opportunity to try some of their Holiday products, I jumped at the chance. Who can say no to pepperminted scented body products?

• Sweet Peppermint Gift Set (hand wash and hand cream)
• Replenishing Shea Body Butter
• Sweet Peppermint Crackling Wick Scented Candle
• Strawberry Swirl Bath Fizzy
• velvety soft Tubby Tummies plush

Grateful Body products: I was given the opportunity to try some products from this all natural and vegan skincare company that I've never heard of before. Their approach is through organic plants, food and herbs that come together to create entirely luxurious and effective skin care. The people from Grateful Body formulates all of their products to heal and strengthen damaged or ailing skin – they have helped a lot of people through eczema, that's why I was excited to try the products I was sent: Aphrodite's Feast Restorative Serum and Midnight Oil.

Shielo hair products: Remember my Made from Earth product review? Well the same product formulators  have made some organic and chemical free hair products for Shielo and I was given the opportunity to try these products as well. I realise I almost never feature hair products on my blog and I don't really know why - I guess it's because I'm not sure how I'm supposed to review a shampoo? Well I'll be happy to try my best to review these vegan and cruelty free products. I've been sent their Volumizing Shampoo and Conditioner as well as their #1 seller, Antioxidant Leave-in Protectant.

Club Nintendo Original Calendar 2012 : This is my reward for having reached the Elite Status as a Gold Member once again this year, yey!
