5 Autumn Essentials
We are almost in the middle of Autumn and days are getting colder each day and we are not so far away from Winter. Like every other season I have some essentials that I can't go without in this season (I won't even mention coats and boots as my Autumn essentials).
Autumn Essentials
Hat
If you're leaving home so early, you will know how freezing it gets and never get your head cold, otherwise it will give you so bad headache.
Scarf
It is a multipurpose essential. It keeps you warm and if you don't have a hat and it is cold you can just wrap around your head! Also it changes the look of your outfit, so win win.
Lip Balm
I use lip balm quite a lot, however, especially in colder days it is a product that I can't leave without. If I go a day without applying it, my lips will be so dry and I can't use any lipstick.
Hand Cream
We probably use hand creams frequently, however, it gets used a lot in colder months. If you want soft hands like baby skin then you shouldn't forget using it a few times everyday. You should have a look at my post Let's Talk Best Hand Creams.
Dark Makeup
This is one of the thing I like doing in Autumn. Bold lips and bold nails are perfect for a/w and I seem to wear them frequently. If you'd like to see my autumnal look then please check my post Minimal Autumn Makeup.
These are my 5 Autumn Essentials. What are yours?

Totally agree with every single one of these. I need to repurchase a lip balm and love the original burts bee's too! Cosy scarves and dark makeup are definitely autumn favourites too! Elle www.theellenextdoor.com xx
Cosy scarves are my favourites :) x
My hands get so dry I have to use hand cream at least 3/4 times a day which I don't complain about, but I just need to find one which I really love! Otherwise of course I agree with all your picks! https://fannyanddailybeauty.wordpress.com/
Finding a good hand cream is kinda hard and once you find one then you can always rely on it.
We've had exceptionally warm days here lately! :D Anyway, my fall favorites are definitely dark lipsticks and rich, warm eyeshadows. And just like you, I can't go without hand cream and lip balm. http://carolinapage.eu
It was cold last week and this week it was almost 20 :) If I go a day without lip balm, my lips get so dry straight away.
All very important essentials! You know I love a scarf :) I love bold lipsticks and nails too. Have a lovely weekend Ela. Gemma xx www.jacquardflower.uk
I love your scarves, they all look so pretty :) Have a great weekend, Gemma xx
Thanks Ela you too xxx
This reminds me to get a good hand cream this winter. Going to check out Neutrogena.
It is really good, you should definitely give it a try.
I use lip balm constantly in the winter! Nothing is worse than knowing you don't have it because then your lips feel terrible all day! prettyneutral.com
Indeed! My lips get dry straight away if I go a day without using it.
I love everything in this post. I have recently purchased the Burt Bees lip balm but not sure if I prefer it over my carmex!? I shall just wear it more and see how it goes for me. Sara Ali | www.saraswonderland.com
I prefer the original to pomegranate one, it just doesn't smell right. I haven't tried carmex, I will have a look at it.
I love bold lips, even in another seasons! ❤ This lip balm save my lips all the time, it's great. XX karinanopaisdasmaravilhas.com

I like wearing scarves any season, lip balm is a must! xx
Definitely very essential essentials hon :) I always forget the hand cream! So bad. One other important item I have on me at all times is a hand sanitizer, but that's every season :) Huge scarf person as well <3 Hope you're doing ok, girlie. Hoping things are progressing a little. Thinking about you and hope you enjoy your weekend :) xox Nadia http://mielandmint.blogspot.co.uk/
Hand sanitizer is a must for me too as I use the public transport a lot :) My fiance and I were trying to get everything sorted so I was away from blogging for over a week *sigh* We got the confirmation of the papers being approved after we cancelled everything which is really annoying. Now we are trying to get a new date. Thank you so much, Nadia! You are always so sweet! Have a great weekend xx
I can't go a day without lip balm or hand cream either! Burt's Bees is one of my favourites! <a href="http://www.daniellesbeautyblog1.blogspot.co.uk" rel="nofollow">Danielle's Beauty Blog</a>
My hands and lips get so dry without using them daily!
These are a must have! Thanks for sharing hun! <3 I always do darker make up when it's autumn but sometimes I'm not brave enough D: It's so out there! http://pawlean.com
Sometimes I feel the same way. I like how it looks however not brave enough to wear them a lot. x
I have been doing glowy, dewy skin makeup recently and my go to clothes is my leather jacket and infinity scarf. And on my 'slim days', I wear my leather jeggings too. xx Shireen | <a href="http://reflectionofsanity.com" rel="nofollow">Reflection of Sanity </a>
I really need to get leather jeggings, they look nice! xx
Pretty much all of the above. i don't wear a hat that often, but I regret not bringing it with me whenever I am out and about for a longer period of time. <a href="http://www.lindalibraloca.com/" rel="nofollow">Linda, Libra, Loca: Beauty, Baby and Backpacking</a>
I can't leave home without a hat in the mornings (especially when it is really cold) otherwise I have headache all day long.
Oh, sounds awful.

Long padded coat is a must, definitely agree with you! x

I never go anywhere without at least two lip balms on my person. I get so uncomfortable talking to people when my lips are dry. I need to remember to put hand cream in my bag! Laura http://thefoxtrails.blogspot.com/
I feel the same way and also it kinda hurts when it gets dry!
Love all your essentials☺ Especially lip balm and dark makeup ♥♥ summerdaisy.net
Thank you :)
I care hand cream all year with me, because I dont like a feeling after I wash my hand ;) http://www.queenhorsfall.com/

I agree with you. I don't tolerate cold very well so the hat, globes and scarf are always in my bag. I sometimes even wear shawls as a blanket outside my house. And my skin is really sensitive, so hidration is key. Thanks for sharing! Natalia www.lindifique.com

I'm like you and need all these items. My lips and hands get so dry during these cold months that I need to use a lip balm and a hand cream often. Have a great weekend! Danielle www.spring2spring.com
My hands get dry so dry when I am out in the cold so I have to use it all the time. Have a great weekend!
Winter is seriously about the hydration - which is so funny when you think about it because it tends to be the wetter months of the year (guess the moisture is all in the sky and not in our skin, LOL). I always have to have hand cream and lip balm within arms reach. Thanks for sharing these. Have a great weekend. xx-kim www.everydaystilettos.com
Look like cold can be so drying too :) Have a great weekend x
I get so dehydrated in winter, it wreaks havoc especially on my lips and hands so a nice lip balm and hydrating hand cream are musts for me. www.thesundaymode.blogspot.com.au
I hate that dehydrated feeling so a lip balm is a must for me.
These are the perfect essentials for autumn. I would have to say that a versatile scarf is one of the best things to have in your wardrobe. We can wear it around your neck, your head, wrapped around as a shawl. Gotta love it. :] // <b> <a href="http://www.itscarmen.com" rel="nofollow">▲ itsCarmen.com ▲ </a></b>
Totally agree with you! Don't leave home without a scarf :)
I love the overall autumn shade on all the products. Great choice of products :) Lu | www.balgarka.co.uk
Thank you :)
I bought the famous 107 few days ago and I am loving it :) http://allornothing-blog.blogspot.co.uk/
It is stunning :)
My lips and hands have been getting SO dry and we are in San Diego where it honestly doesn't get all that cold...I mean maybe high 50's early early AM. But it is such a necessity to use a good hand cream and lip balm...I am going to try your recommendations because I ran out of my hand cream in my purse so need a new one. Thanks for the recs love! xx Lauren Blame It On Barneys www.blameitonbarneys.com
It gets really cold here in winters so a good protection is an essential x

Hi dear, why are you not updating your blog? A new post is up on my blog. Please do check- www.reviewwali.com
I was away for awhile.
I love Rimmel by Kate lipsticks - such good longevity! www.ohsobecky.com
Kate lipsticks are so pretty!
I love this post because these are definitely the main essentials starting with hand cream. SLATHER ME UP with all of that hand creams so I don't have to shake anyone's hand with a dry and cracked hand from not enough moisture! Hat is definitely needed and I wish I brought one with me on this trip! xx, adaatude.com
That dry hand feeling is so bad, I hate it and if I don't apply enough amount then my hands don't recover for days x
Love the Rimmel Kate Moss Lipsticks! Great Post Ela :) x Arwa | cremerose.blogspot.com
Thank you :) x
Lovely! Rimmel is a great quality high street brand with a great variety of choices. My favourite Autumnal picks are mainly from NARS however for the high street I would opt for Rimmel lips or L'Oreal. Laura www.shehearts.net x
Nars products are great however for more affordable option Rimmel and L'Oreal are good! x
I agree, NARS are great but for the high street Rimmel and L'Oreal are great choices for sure! Sleek Makeup also! x www.shehearts.net
Hand cream is always a go to i forget to grab! your hands are the window to your age and if you don't protect them you will look weathered and OLD. Great reminder! www.westcoastwives.com
Totally agree with you!
