I'm going on a plane ride, not really a road trip, but I figured it's pretty much the same thing and 'road trip' sounds better than 'plane ride'. I'll try and keep it up-beat. And I'm finally bringing back the playlists on my 8tracks profile, so here's this one. 
1. Arctic Monkeys - Snap Out of It
2. The Weeknd - The Hills
3. Troye Sivan - WILD
4. twenty one pilots - Ride
5. Halsey - Roman Holiday
6. Hozier - Angel of Small Death & the Codeine Scene
7. Marian Hill - Whisky
8. James Bay - Collide
9. The Neighbourhood - Flawless
10. One Direction - Drag Me Down (obv)
11. The 1975 - Pressure
12. Zayn Malik ft. Mic Righteous - No Type
13. Frank Ocean - Lost
14. 5 Seconds of Summer - Fly Away
15. Halsey - Trouble
16. Ella Eyre - If I Go
17. twenty one pilots - Tear In My Heart
18. SoMo - Bad (Wale Cover) 
19. The Neighbourhood - Say My Name/Cry Me A River

I can't call this a review as I'm not quite sure if I'm qualified to write one after using this product for a week, but I wanted to share my opinion on it so far.
I started using this scrub last week when my skin was going through a bit of a rough patch - there were lots of spots involved, even the pesky under the skin ones - and since then my skin has massively improved. I don't know if it's got anything to do with me using this scrub twice a day every day, or if my face has miraculously decided to give me a break, but it does look much better.
The label says that this daily scrub helps eliminate spots and blemishes with a fresh clean feel. It definitely leaves my skin feeling clean and fresh, but I don't know if I should vouch for the spot eliminating claim. I will say, though, that my face is currently quite spot-free after a week of using this, so take what you want from that. 
This is one of those products I can't wait to use after a long day of wearing makeup. All you need to do is rub a small amount between your damp/wet palms until it kind of lathers up and then just  apply it to your face in circular motions, I like to focus it mainly on my troublesome areas (read: my T-zone), but I obviously apply it on the rest of my face as well. Then, you simply rinse it off with lukewarm water and you're done. I'd recommend dabbing your face with a towel rather than rubbing it so that it doesn't get too irritated. Also, I feel like it might have left some dry patches where I'd had healing spots - I wouldn't blame that on the product if I hadn't read in a lot of reviews that it can dry out your skin a bit. So, I would keep that in mind if you've already got dry skin (mine is combination).
That's all I have to say about this product for now, I would recommend reading some more reviews before purchasing it (just so that I'm not the one to blame if it goes terribly wrong). 

P.S. I haven't posted any news about my eyelashes because there aren't any, or at least I haven't really noticed them.

Last week I found myself reminded just how much I enjoy writing tag blog posts, so here goes another one. I'm sure you're all familiar with this one, so I'll just get into it without further ado.

1. Favourite candle scent?
Vanilla scented candles all the way! I like the spicy Christmasy ones as well, but I can never get enough of vanilla. 

2. Coffee, tea or hot chocolate?
I tend to switch up between coffee and tea - right now I'm in more of a coffee mood because I've been very sleep deprived (surprise, surprise), but come proper autumn I'm probably gonna find myself going for tea all the time.

3. What's the best fall memory you have?
The first thing that popped into my mind when I read this question is the memory of me as a kid going through the park with the leaves crunching underneath my little boots. I absolutely loved that about autumn and I used to always go through the biggest piles of leaves, which, I'll be honest, I still tend to do.

4. Which makeup trend do you prefer: dark lips or winged eyeliner?
I'm a big fan of winged eyeliner all year long, so that's what I'm gonna go for, but I do enjoy rocking a bit of a berry lip from time to time.

5. Best fragrance for autumn?
I'm not massively into fragrances, I kind of just use whatever I have at the time, so I don't have seasonal perfumes.

6. What is autumn weather like where you live?
Rain, rain, rain. It's not officially autumn yet, but it's already starting to get chilly and it's currently raining cats and dogs. I don't mind, though, because that means it's time to crack out the duvets and layer clothes.

7. Most worn sweater?
I'd say currently it's my newest addition to the collection, which is just a plain white one from H&M as it goes with absolutely everything.

8. Must-have nail polish this autumn?
Essie's Wicked is the all time must-have nail polish if you ask me.

9. Football games or jumping in leaf piles?
I'm not really a football lover and I don't really tend to go around jumping into piles of leaves, but if I had to choose, I'd go for leaves I guess.

10. Skinny jeans or leggings?
Ah, the eternal struggle. Can't I just go for jeggings? Okay, I think I'm gonna opt for jeans right now, but shoutout to leggings, I love them too.

11. Boots or uggs?
Boots, of course. Uggs are not too weather friendly, I feel like. Boots are more fashionable and foolproof.

12. Is pumpkin spice worth the hype?
I honestly wouldn't know, but as I'm not a fan of pumpkin, I'm not sure I'd be into it.

13. Favourite autumn TV show?
I'm afraid I have no choice but to say Downton Abbey as I am most excited for its return (only 10 days to go!!). I'm open to recommendations, though.

14. What song gets you into the autumn spirit?
Basically any song from The Neighbourhood or Big Jet Plane by Angus and Julia Stone, which I've featured in most of my playlists.

That's all for this tag, I hope you enjoyed it, I know I have. Talk to you Saturday!

For all you French speakers.
First of all, I just need to thank my bestie for buying this baby for me, I love you lots. Now I can get into the review.
Recently, between listening to Halsey and rewatching Friends I've been going to quite a few parties (which I can't believe I'm saying), so lots of makeup has been used. Obviously, after long nights you don't wanna spend hours on removing your makeup, so that's where Bioderma came to use. 
I really like using it as it helps remove my makeup very quickly, using like 4 cotton pads. It removes all of my makeup without a doubt, and it doesn't leave my skin feeling dry or tacky - just nice and fresh. It is not fragranced if any of you are sensitive to that. Also, it's very gentle on the skin, it doesn't irritate it or leave it looking red. The only thing I don't know is how it works with waterproof mascara, as I don't own one. 
To sum up, I think it's an amazing makeup remover, although, I'll be honest and say that you get almost the same result with the Garnier Micellar Water (see review) for a much lower price.
That's all I've got to say about Bioderma, so I'll just get back to my coffee. Also, have you noticed my new font? I think it looks a bit more professional, idk.
