Hey everyone, sorry I've been neglecting you lately, I've been trying to post a few videos on my Youtube channel but have decided to do my October Favourites as a post! So let's get started!
My first favourite is the UD Naked Palette, I feel that this is pretty self explanatory, its a favourite of many and I've been using it practically every day this month to get the perfect neutral eye. The colours I use most are virgin, sin, buck, half baked and smog. I am also planning on doing a tutorial of this for my everyday fall eye look!
My next favourite is the B&BW twilight woods scent, especially the hand cream. The scent is delicious and reminds me of the perfect fall scent, its a bit fruity and floraly at the same time, its pretty complex! This is just in the mini size and I think its perfect to just throw in your purse and use time to time to keep your hands soft for the upcoming winter months!
Next we have the EOS lip balm in lemon drop. This lip balm has SPF 15 and even though it's not super moisturizing its shape is super easy to find in your purse and it makes me want to moisturize my lips. Currently it is working for me but i think in the winter months I will have to move to something more intense like the Nivea Kiss of Moisture lip balm.
Moving to nail polish i have been loving OPI's No Spain no Gain, which I purchased after I posted my fall nail polish video! This is the perfect dark raspberry colour, it's opaque in 2 coats and stays super glossy. I also found that this nail polish formula goes on really smoothly and it lasted on my nails for over a week with just minimal chipping. This colour came out in the Espana collection but I'm sure you will still be able to find it wherever OPI is sold near you.
The next two are my top favourites for the month and both of them are new finds! First is the Revlon Photo ready foundation. It gives a medium coverage and is available in a good variety of skin tones for around $11.00 Canadian. It leaves your skin looking natural and not cakey (I use a stippling brush), however I don't recommend it for taking photos as it has an SPF in it. The next favourite is the Rimmel Age Defying under eye concealer. I got this recommendation from MakeupbyTiffanyD and trust me, it's as good as she claims! This product is super easy to use, theres a lot of product and it has amazing coverage that last on me all day. For around $8.00 I would definitely reccomed picking this up! I will probably be doing a foundation routine on my beauty channel coming soon!
My perfume favourite for the month has been J'adore by Dior, I got this as a sample from Sephora and although I love this scent I probably would never purchase it as the price is so steep! This perfume is extremely floraly and there is no sweet undertones or anything to cut the strong floral scent. You can definitely smell this perfume on you all day and i wouldn't recommend it to anyone who doesn't like strong scents.
The MAC paint pot in bare study is also a top favourite for the month. This is my first paint pot purchase and I definitely don't regret it! I use this almost every day as a base under my eye looks. I find it really intensifies colours such as Urban Decay's Sin. It also makes my shadows last all day without a primer underneath it however I don't have oily lids and have never experienced creasing problems.
My final favourite (but definitely just as good as the rest) is the MAC blush in Breath of Plum. This is the only MAC blush I own and I am now interested in picking up some more. This blush has just the right amount of pigmentation, its not super crazy pigmented but you need to watch how much you put on to prevent looking clown-like. On my cheeks this blush looks super natural and is a perfect everyday fall blush (even though i will probably still wear it in the summer time, it's still got enough of a bright touch!).
These are all my favourites for the month of October, i feel like this has been a pretty good month for beauty products for me, I've found a lot of amazing products, i hope November can be just as great! Please let me know if you like Favourites posts, I probably won't be doing them every month as they get pretty repetitive, however I will likely be doing them once every 2 or 3 months! I hope you try out some of these products and you love them as much as I do!!
