Autumn is here as we are now in the month of October and here are the things (and places) I have been liking, using and watching last month in September.

Marrakech

I went on holiday in September for one week to Marrakech. I've never been to Morocco before so it was great to explore a new country. Marrakech was perfect for relaxing as well as exploring the city and surrounding areas, as my hotel was in such a great central location. I loved exploring the souks, the main square and also the Atlas Mountains. I would recommend Marrakech to anyone looking for a cultural city break.

Downton Abbey

Whilst I was on holiday in Morocco the last ever series of Downton Abbey started! I love Downton Abbey and I have watched all six series since it started. I think I'm really going to enjoy this last series as it's set in 1925 where they show how the world was changing rapidly at that time.

The X Factor

Now that we are in autumn The X Factor has also started again and I love watching the show every season. I especially like the judges panel this year with a good mix including Cheryl who is my favourite judge! I have heard rumours that this year's X Factor is going to be the most fashionable ever, with Cheryl and Rita Ora wearing different designers each week.

Rituals Precious Mineral Foundation

Onto my beauty favourites last month - I was given a sample of the Rituals foundation when I went for my spa session and I have used it a few times and I really like the texture. It's not a really heavy foundation and if you put too much on it can be quite liquid like. You only need a small amount to blend into your skin and it's very light wearing and natural looking.

Sephora Colourful blusher in the shade No.5

When I was on holiday in Corfu earlier this year I bought a pink blusher from Sephora. It's very pigmented and long lasting and you only need a tiny amount on your brush to blend into the cheeks. So far I'm impressed with this blusher and it will last me a very long time which is great.

L'oreal Super Liner

I've wanted to learn how to do the cat-eye liner for so long and I've watched beauty vloggers do it hundreds of times so I decided to buy a good liquid eyeliner and practice doing it myself. The L'oreal Super Liner has a thin applicator which makes it easy to apply and so far I think I'm doing well with the cat-eye looks!
