Sweater Weather tag! | TheMakeupDiaries

Hey everyone! Today we're going to be doing the Sweater Weather Tag in honour of the cold days we've been receiving lately here where we live. We both love autumn and everything about it. So without further ado, let's get started!


1. Favourite Candle Scent?

Roshelle: I absolutely love Marshmallow Fireside from Bath & Body Works. It smells amazing! This is pretty weird but I would describe it as a very warm and cozy scent perfect for a night in.

Alyssa: I'd have to say Red Velvet by Bath and Body Works. It smells to die for!

2. Coffee, tea or hot chocolate? 

Alyssa: It depends, but when I'm tired Coffee for sure. But when I need relaxing, tea. When I'm in a good mood or am craving something sweet especially during the holidays, I will always pick hot chocolate!

Roshelle: Hot chocolate for sure!!!!! I like to add a bit of hazelnut sweetener into my hot chocolate and I have that every morning to wake me up.  I love anything sweet, and coffee and tea just don't tickle my fancy as well as hot chocolate does.

3. What's the best fall memory you have?

Roshelle: I have a terrible memory but if I had to pick one it would have to be Thanksgiving. I love spending time with my family and my extended family and all that thanksgiving food!

Alyssa: The best fall memory I have isn't extremely interesting but it's one of the little things you will never forget. My best fall memory that I can remember would be playing with the gorgeous coloured leaves outside with my family and drinking a nice warm cup of hot chocolate afterwards.

4. Which makeup trend do you prefer: dark lips or winged eyeliner?

Roshelle: Personally, I'm pretty scared to wear a bold lip out so I'll have to go with winged eyeliner! I try and go with a thin line on my upper lashline, nothing too bold and something that still looks natural.

Alyssa: To me, both dark lips and winged eyeliner are a staple in all makeup looks. But, I personally prefer dark lips over winged eyeliner for many reasons. Dark lips are bold, dramatic and intense. In my opinion a dark lips brings a whole makeup look together and will turn heads everywhere you go. I especially like this during the fall and winter months.

5. Best fragrance for fall?

Roshelle: I love anything that smells like Vanilla for fall. In particular, I really like Noir Tease by Victoria Secret or for a lighter scent, I go for Pink's Warm and Cozy.

Alyssa: Just like Roshelle, I also enjoy anything that smells like vanilla. During the fall time I like scents that are very sweet. Two of my favourites are from Bath & Body Works. They include Sweet on Paris and Warm Vanilla Sugar. Two popular and affordable fragrances!

6. Favourite Thanksgiving food?

Roshelle: Ahh this is so difficult! Definitely turkey with mashed potatoes, and corn. So delicious!

Alyssa: This is a such a hard question. For sure I'd have to say turkey and mashed potatoes.

7. What is autumn weather like where you live?

Roshelle: Alyssa and I both live in the same place and it's quite a drastic change from summer to fall. It rains pretty much everyday and it usually is 0-10 degrees Celsius. It gets pretty cold and at the end of fall, if we're lucky enough, it starts to snow!

8. Most worn sweater?

Roshelle: Other than wearing uniform everyday, I'm pretty much always wearing a big comfy sweater. It's pretty much impossible to choose one but I love all my Forever 21/H&M Knit sweaters. Anything comfy is perfect!

Alyssa: Roshelle and I both go to private school which means we have to wear uniform everyday. Most of the sweaters you would find me in are from Forever 21, H&M and Brandy Melville.

9. Must-have nail polish this fall?

Alyssa: Since I have a huge nail polish collection it's quite hard to narrow it down to just one fall must have nail polish. So, I will share two of my favourites from OPI. The first one is Tomorrow Never Dies from the James Bond Collection. I would describe this colour as a deep, dark glowy blue with purple shimmer and reflexes. The second polish is also by OPI and it is called DS Reflection from the Designer Series Collection. I would describe this as a red coral toned colour with some shimmer and duo-chrome. Both of these colours are perfect for the fall and I get a lot of use out of
them.

Roshelle: Because of all the sports I play, I'm often sporting the no nail polish look (aka bare nails!) because I learned that their going to chip anyway so I justified just not wearing nail polish. On the other hand, I'm a big fan of dark nails like maroon, emerald green, royal blue and a matte black!

10. Football games of jumping in leaf piles?

Roshelle: Definitely watching football games! Although I don't have football at my school, sporting events are just so much fun to be at!

Alyssa: I wouldn't mind jumping into a pile of colourful leaves but I think I would enjoy watching a football game more. I've never actually watched a football game before but I would like too. It seems very interesting and fun to watch.

11. Skinny jeans or leggings?

Alyssa: I am always in leggings. They are so comfortable and they go will all my outfits. So I would say leggings. But, I absolutely love Topshop's Joni Jeans. I own a pair and want to purchase them in more colours.

Roshelle: Leggings! I'm always wearing a comfy sweater and some leggings during the fall. Leggings are just so much more comfier and easy to wear!

12. Combat Boots or Uggs?

Alyssa: Without a doubt I choose combat boots. Combat boots are very trendy and go with many different looks. I find they look good with so many things and I love them so much. I wear mine almost everyday and I just can't get enough of them!

Roshelle: Hands down, combat boots. I own the Steve Madden Troopa boots in black and they are really easy to just slip on, and their quite comfy as well. I find them more stylish then Uggs because you look more put together when wearing combat boots.

13. Is Pumpkin Spice worth the hype?

Roshelle: I wouldn't know for sure because my favourite drink and pretty much the only drink I ever get at Starbucks is the Caramel brûlée latte!

Alyssa: I've only tried this once or twice and I think it is pretty good although I don't normally reach towards that drink.

14. Favourite fall TV show?

Roshelle: Because I'm so busy all the time with school, sports, friends and family I rarely ever get any time to watch tv. But.. Does Sportcenter/Hockey count?

Alyssa: I'm not really up to date with TV shows and I normally just watch online. My favourites include Once Upon A Time, Pretty Little Liars and The Voice.

15. What song really gets you into the Fall spirit?

Roshelle: Tough one. I can't choose. The songs I listen to always change and it all depends! Lol!

Alyssa: I can't think of just one, the songs I like change very often! To be honest, I don't actually know which one gets me into the fall spirit:P

Love, r&a x
