October Favourites

Happy Halloweeeen! It's the end of the month so its time for some monthly favourites. I want to start out by saying THANK YOU. At the start of this month I hit 100,000 views on this little old blog - that is huge and I can't believe that so many people have clicked to come over and read what I write. Now on to the beauty, everything I mention in this post has been talked about on my blog or on instagram, I haven't really tried many things that are new due to been busy with my head in books... 

L'Oreal True Match (find full review here) - Since trying out the new formula of this foundation I have been hooked and refuse to try out anything else. I am that obsessed that I already have a bottle in reserve for when I run out oops. Everything about it is just perfect, the consistency is much better than the first time around, it doesn't cling on to the dry patches and it lasts all day. I do have to powder but that's just oil that collects on my face. It works so well in the winter I hope its the same in the summer as well. p.s did you know that L'oreal posted my image of the foundation on their instagram and twitter?

Seventeen Falsifeye Mascara (full review here) - A new discover this month for me but a very good one. This mascara gives my lashes the effect of wearing false lashes but doesn't take the time or the effort. The wand has two sides and a cone so I can get every single lash n my lid, without having to find too many funny faces.

Maybelline Midnight Red - Where do I even begin with this colour, it is my new go to autumnal colour. I have reapplied it every single time I have gone to paint my toes or fingers. It lasts forever, with no chips even with all the washing up I have been doing! And the colour is one that everyone seems to like not just me!

Maybelline Divine Wine (full post here) - I once heard that having matching lips and nails was a big no no but I say yes yes. I think it looks a lot better if its all matching and what better to match my nail colour with then a berry lipstick! Divine Wine is a gorgeous colour that applies like butter to the lips and lasts all day, I am not a eye makeup wearer so this lip colour did scare me at first but with lovely bronzed skin it looks great.

Wet n Wild Cinnamon Spice - Another lipstick because who can only use one?! This is a pretty similar colour to the maybelline one but it isn't as red and more purple toned. Which does make it easier to wear as more things go with it. The formula of these aren't as creamy but just as matter and long lasting. Even though it does bleed a fair bit.


Food
I always love so much food but never have evidence to show you, the first thing I have loved this month is green tea! It was a thing that I loved a while back and then went off it and now i love it again! I drink a cup as and when I can and it gives me a boost of energy like a cup of tea would. I am also loving the Starbucks PSL, but this is a reoccurring favourite of mine and a lot of people don't like it but I like the spicy and sweet together.
Areo chocolate is another obsession of mine, mainly the mint one I could eat a large bag all by myself if I had the chance. Also, cereal bars have been a life saver. I keep one in my bag and then during the day when I get peckish they come in handy - the Alpen ones are great!

Candle

This is a new candle love! I can't have them at university and it is killing me every day but when I come home I am always lighting this one that I spotted in Asda. It smells good enough that you want to eat it. At first it is a bit sickly like most of their sweet ones are but afterwards it smells like gooey marshmallows on top of the fire and similar to fireside treats but slightly sweeter.

October Favourites ♥

First of all I would like to apologise for not doing a September Favourites, there wasn't a great deal of new things or even old things that I had been loving that month so I thought instead of boring you guys I would just leave that month out! However, I have got some October Favourites to share with you and my oh my is there a range of them!

First up skincare, I have been loving both these things from Nivea this month as I suffer from really bad dry skin in the autumn and winter months. So these have been my skin care saviours! The Nivea lotion for me is great to use on my legs, arms and body as it really nourishes my skin and leaves it feeling silky soft all day long. The pink tub, is there hydration express primer and holy moly I am in love with it. There will be a full review coming up on this but for now let me just tell you that this primer works so well at keeping my make up on my face all day; but it also helps with the dry patches and gives them love so that my foundation doesn't appear flaky and patchy.

Another skincare saviour this month, has to be the Tea Tree oil from Superdrug, I used a little bit of this on a cotton round every night for a week to soothe and calm down my breakouts. Not only did it help with the redness and spots, but it also helped with the scaring I have from previous breakouts. The scent can be very intimidating for some and was for me at first, but after a few tries and go's with it you just become immune to it.

Then for the more beauty items, I have been loving the body shop oil control powder. I have used this nearly everyday on my face over the bb cream I am currently using and it has such a nice finish and works well with my other products to give me a long lasting finish. A nail polish that has to be mentioned in this months favourites is 'Black Cherries' by Rimmel, I haven't stopped reapplying this on my toes since the start of the month, even though it lasts for ages I like to redo the colour as a touch up. It is a lovely deep purple with a slight hint of black in it. For school I have been loving both these lip products equally as they both give my everyday look some natural glow. The baby lips is in 'Peach Kiss' and the Party Proof lipstick in 'Kitty' are both nudes, the party proof one is more of a pinky nude then the other which is a brown nude. Both of these give my lips some colour during the day and complete my whole face.

 

Here are the more random favourites for this month - starting off with food! I have been craving these Caramel Snack A Jack's all month, they are the perfect sweet treat when you want something sweet and sugary yet is very healthy for you. I like to eat these on their own as well as with a spread of peanut butter on top - heaven on a plate.

This months music favourite has to be from The Vamps and their song 'Can We Dance', I only really heard this song a few weeks back and since then have completely fallen in love with it and the band its self to be honest. The song is very catchy and great to get into a good mood on one of those days..

Something else that I have been loving these weekend is the new series that Khila a.k.a 'MissBudgetBeauty' has started on her vlog channel. For those of you who don't know who she is then.. where have you been? Khila is a mum to two, with a vlog, blog and beauty channel! She has just finished doing Vlogtober and I have been loving one of the videos as part of her 'Khila Talks' series which is where she does like a chat show with other youtubers and bloggers about life! The one I have been loving is about Time Management, and I really learnt a few things from that video. 

If you haven't heard of Khila before or never seen her videos or even blog posts then I highly recommend you do so!
