It's already the 6th of November and these days at this point it's SO LATE to do the previous month favourites, but I'm gonna do it ANYWAY ! I've got really awesome products I've been loving this October and I like to share them with you! (Pardon the quality of the photo - my camera's batteries are not charged and I really wanted to put this up today, I'll update it once I take close-up photos of the products)
1. L'OCCITANE Rose Tenderness Hand Cream. As the cold days hit in the one important thing many need is a good moisturising hand cream. Once my hands were frostbitten a couple of years ago when I wasn't being careful and was rocking out the 'no gloves' look in -20 Celsius like an idiot, my hands are now very sensitive to cold and immediately get red and the skin breaks very easily, so I have to moisturise them a lot and (DUH) wear gloves in the cold. But I really like this cream I've been using this month: it feels really nice and soaks into the hands well and does not leave any greasiness after you've applied them. And it smells so good. It smells like freaking ROSES!
2. Nail polishes: Sally Hansen Smooth and Perfect Color Care in 07 Sea and Maybelline New York my VARNISH in Jade Dusseldorf (I think). The Maybelline nail polish is such a lovely dark pearly jade colour for autumn and the Sally Hansen one is light mint colour and I just love mint green so much.
3. Nivea Pure and Natural Cleansing Toner. I've bought 2 toners by accident a couple of months ago, and I've been using this one way more often recently than the other one. It smells very nice, it has argan oil and aloe vera in it so that's what it probably smells like and I really like aloe vera smell, it just feels and smells so clean. It cleans my skin and it feels really fresh afterwards. I haven't experienced and irritation or anything using it, it's great.
4. MUA Smokin Palette. I've been basically using it every day I wear make-up. It has a white, skin-tone and brown matte eyeshadows for everyday neutral look if you like (the brown is great for my eyebrows too) and its matte black is so black that a badger's butt has a run for its money. It also has a shimmery grey, gold, purple, blue and green, that are very pigmented and includes a black eye pencil which is pretty great.
5. MILANI Glimmer Stripes All-Over Colour in 08 Bronze Glimmer. I pray that this never runs out because this has been my favourite thing of all. I literally put it ALL OVER MY FACE. I mean, it's just so nice. There's 5 strips of colours and I use all of them mixed together on my cheeks and cheekbones (sparingly of course, you don't want to look like a Christmas tree! Or do I...) and it has such a nice subtle shimmer to it - haven't found another cheek colour that would look good and natural on me that I would feel comfortable wearing. I also use the lightest stripe as hightliter under my eyebrow and inner corner of my eye. However, I just noticed (cause I tried smelling it) that it smells a bit like old school makeup if you know what I mean.
6. Real Techniques Expert Face Brush. I know at first I was in love with the stippling brush for everything, but lately my favourite favourite is the expert face brush for my liquid foundation. It's just.. the best. I don't know. I've done a review on a lot of the Real Techniques brushes that you can check out HERE.
7. TRESemme ULTIMATE HOLD Ultra Fine Hairspray (5 blobs). I've purchased it cause I run out of hairspray a lot and I wanted to try out the Tresemme maximum hold hairspray to see how it was. To be honest, I have not in my life found a hairspray that would hold my curled hair for longer than a couple hours, so I don't even expect that from hairsprays, and come on, I don't really want to spend loads of money on a super duper expensive cool hairspray that maybe does the trick because I style my hair a lot and I would just go broke. It holds a hairstyle well, (nothing spectacular about it) but it smells so nice (to me, at least) and it is really ultra fine as it says. I sprayed loads last night on my curls and this morning it doesn't feel like there's any hairspray in my hair at all (with others, if you put a lot in, you even have to put more effort in washing your hair) which is GREAT! It's also not sticky, wet or crusty on your hair. It's just great.
So these are my October favourites (Some of them September as well) and I hope you enjoyed it and it was useful! I might write up a favourites post every couple of months or even every month if I have enough things to talk about! Thanks for reading!
