I swore up and down the skinny jean/UGG combination was not for me, but if anything could change my mind, this fabulous pair of knit UGGs just may do the trick.

I mean seriously, how cute are these boots? The heathered merino wool blend looks so comfortable and soft, and I love the buttons and fold-over finishing details that can be styled in a variety of ways. These would look amazing with a slew of fall outfits, as they’re fashionably effortless and fabulous in every way. I NEED them!

Available in black, cream, fig, grey, moss or picante for $140 each from UGG Australia.

Sometimes, my normal-to-dry-to-combination skin becomes a bit oily. It’s always a surprise to me and generally returns to normal as quickly as it became slick.

My go-to favorite for oilier days is Jane Iredale Absence Oil Control Primer SPF 15. Its unique formula seeks to attack the problem at its root by calming overactive sebaceous glands without affecting the skin’s moisture level. It simultaneously acts as a primer to provide an even, smooth canvas over which to apply makeup.

Jane Iredale Absence Oil Control Primer SPF 15 is available from Nordstrom for $35.50.

Sophie is a darling 16-year-old from the UK that writes a blog called Kicking Couture. She loves nail polish almost as much as I did when I was her age!

Here’s what’s in Sophie’s makeup bag:

My makeup bag is just a cute bag I picked up in a local boutique. I loved the floral pattern and the compartments inside. Be prepared for a lot–haha!!

I’m obsessed with nail polishes and always keep one or two in my bag,  my current faves are:

• Revlon Plum seduction-  Its actually this gorgeous purple raspberry colour!
• OPI Dont think just pink – Purples are my fave choice this summer, so I always keep this Barbie pink with a purple undertone with me

Eyes

I think if you’re in a rush and you should always put mascara and a little eyeliner on as it brings out your eyes!!

Mascara- Im currently loving Maybelline Colossal, but its still doesn’t beat CG Lashblast but I cant get it in the UK so I have to rely on this!

Eyeshadow-  Revlon colour stay quad. I love this, its doesn’t have much pigmentation but the colours are just a dream! I’ve used it so much the name has rubbed off!

Primer- Urban Decay Primer Potion, I love this product as it helps your eye shadow stay on longer and makes the colours POP!!

Eyeliner – Revlon Kohl Eyeliner, seriously the best eyeliner ever, so so soft and applies like a dream and I love the smudgy thing on the end!

Face

Concealer and t/m- I use MAC’s studio finish concealer, as it’s a medium/heavy coverage so all I need is a tinted moisturiser. I use Clinique’s Almost Makeup as it doesn’t clog my pores and provides a sheer coverage.

Bronzer – Clinique’s true bronze, is the best one bronzer I’ve found as it blends so easily and gives a sun kissed glow!!

Blush- I like a light blush, so MAC Mineralized Duo in Moon River gives a gorgeous baby pink glow.

Lips

Lipstick – MAC’s Hue lipstick, I have a back up of this in another purse because I love its peachy pink look!

Lipgloss-  MAC isn’t usually my favourite for glosses but I love Mimmy as it’s a gorgeous baby pink and Moonbathe as it’s a peachy pink!

Lipbalm- Carmex in cherry is the best!! It smells so good  and somehow it lightens the tone of my lips!

And a Sneaky one

Perfume-  Dolce and Gabbana “ the one” I’ve run out of the sample I keep in my bag, so I lug around the bottle!! It smells like peaches and musky but it settles down to a peachy, creamy warm scent!
