October Favorites :)

I may be a little late now seen as we are in the second week of November but hey that's grand ;) I don't have a whole lot to show with regards to my faves because I pretty much use the same stuff all the time, but here are some of the items I used a lot in October.

Favorites 

  

No7 Stay Perfect Foundation in Cool Vanilla 

I only have this foundation a little while and so far so good :) I find myself getting the wrong color more and more times when I am picking it for myself, so I went to the No 7 counter and got them to match me. They now have a device which can match your skin for you, and no surprises as to me being the 2nd lightest shade Cool Vanilla. It matches my skin perfectly and doesn't feel too heavy, I wore it to my Graduation during the day and night time and I am impressed ;) 

      

Maybelline 24hr Color Tattoo in On and On Bronze 
From reading other blogs I have heard great reviews about these eyeshadows,  I am a little late with jumping on the bandwagon with reviewing it but sure why not ;) I purchased this color and Eternal Gold. I was really dissapointed with the gold color but luckily enough on and on bronze made up for it. I have no cream eyeshadows so this was another first for me, I love the color and it goes great with my green eyes. It's a taupey bronze color with a little shimmer, and can be worn in the day time or build it up for a night time look.

Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer in 010 Ivory
Some days I don't need concealer and then other days it's screaming at me to use it ;) I especially need it during the winter months to get rid of any redness, I was hesitant at first with this concealer because I really didn't like the wake me up foundation. I was pleasantly surprised and have been using this everyday, and sometimes just this concealer and a bit of mascara for those days where I just don't want any fuss.

Carolina Herrerea 212 VIP 

I think as you already know about me is that I am perfume obsessed at the minute, usually I have one favorite and use it to death but recently I have found a few amazing smells which I can't chose from. I have been wanting this perfume since I went to Prague and my friend bought the last one, so when I had the chance of asking for this from a friend who was going to be at duty free I just had to :) The bottle is in a shape of a bullet and it looks pretty cool, it smells gorgeous a mix of sweet and musky, tropical and vanilla and the scent lasts all day. I would definitely recommend this smell for people who like a mix of sweet and musky, I just adore it :)






Samantha Chapman Real Techniques stippling foundation brush 

I am a massive fan of this lady on youtube because
her makeup tutorials are always incredible. She is a makeup artist and a hairdresser, and now she has her own line of brushes. I use this brush everyday, and I find it much easier and quicker to use then a regular foundation brush. I will be adding her other brushes to my Christmas Wishlist ;)

Mac blush in Stay Pretty 
I talked about this product in my recent purchases post and have been using it ever since. It's a gorgeous light dolly pink perfect for just giving you the right amount of blush. I wear this in the day time and on nights out, I just love this blush and definitely have been using it everyday in October :)

September Faves

This is just a selection of my favorite things this month 

Garnier Skin Perfector

I heart this stuff, I have practically worn this all Summer and then for all of September. It's for those days where I can't face the world with nothing on my face (eek!) It's really light and gives my skin a lovely glowy finish, not everybody will love it but I definetly think it's for those days where you don't want any fuss just a bit of coverage. Prices at €14.99

Maybelline Falsies Mascara

Mascara is a holy grail/desert island product for me and some say I may be a mascara junkie. This mascara makes my eyelashes super black and curly. I really like the fact that this wand doesn't make my eyelashes clump, and funnily enough as I write this I see that the tube says waterproof and now I know why it's been such a killer to remove. ;) Priced around €9

Rimmel Lipstick Coral In Gold

 I had been looking for a really nice coral lipstick and then bam one day I found this one. It's not an extremely loud coral that's in your face but nice enough to give that corally pop. It's a little bit drying after a day of wearing it but a lady who worked in Mac complimented the colour so that was a win win for me. ;) Priced around  €6

Versace Yellow Diamond Perfume

I've had this perfume now since July but have been using it more and more this month. It's meant to smell very fruity but for a girl who is obsessed with really really sweet perfume I thought this smell was quite different for me. It smells citrusy and fresh which I thought would be a nice change from all the sweet smells I usually go for. Priced around €40

Batiste Dry Shampoo XXL Volume

Dry shampoo is another holy grail product for me and one I couldn't live without. I haven't tested this bad boy on my hair for going out but for during the day I thought it gave a great oomph in my ponytail and smells great. Win Win. Priced around €5,50
