October Favourites!

I've been trying out a lot of new make up this month, so it seemed to make sense to make a more make-up orientated favourites this month! I've found my skin has been a lot better recently so I will be writing a post on skincare and maybe haircare if you beauts want one?! Anyway onto the favourites, I'm currently on the hunt for a better coverage foundation for winter, my healthy mix just isn't enough coming into winter so I'm back testing out a few, I'll get back to you on that! But onto my favourites this month!

Look Beauty Triple Hit in Shade 1 'La Luxe'; When I saw LOOK magazines new make up range in my local Superdrug I couldn't resist giving some of their products a try. I went for this eyeshadow trio, because I love my brown shades! These are ridiculously pigmented and really handy for a quick smoky eye! I have been picking this up a fair few times this month, and anything I pick over my Urban Decay naked palette gets a massive seal of approval from me!

Sigma F80 Flat Top Kabuki; I must admit, I've hardly reached for this since owning it until this month, but as I've been trying out a few foundations this month I've really been reaching for this a lot and I really do like it. I hate foundation that looks really obvious on the skin and this really helps to buff it in and give a more natural look, love it!

Studio Makeup Line Styler Pen; I got this in my Boudoir Privé and I've been using it everyday since. The felt tip style applicator is so thin it really allows you to draw a really precise line, this is pretty much what I've been looking for since I've got into makeup. I don't really have any faults with it, and I'll definitely be repurchasing, in complete love!

Collection 2000 Big Fake False Lash Effect Mascara; I've reignited my love for this this month, I always forget how much I love this mascara until I use it again and then I fall right back into it's beautiful arms. I really love big dramatic volumized lashes and this always delivers, and for the price it really is a massive bargain! If you haven't tried this yet, you definitely need to get involved. The massive brush is still a bit overwhelming even now though, tiny bit scary!

The Body Shop 100% Natural Lip Roll-On in Berry; My lips are always dry, but it becomes a much worse problem in winter, so I'm forever in the look out for a new solution. When I saw these had launched in The Body Shop I couldn't resist giving one a try, and these really are gorgeous! They smell lush and they really add lots of moisture to the lips. I've been keeping this in my bag at all times, it's really handy to have on you and a massive bargain at £4!

NARS Lipstick in Scarlet Empress; Between Autumn and Halloween, I've really been getting into berry shades, and this is my personal favourite. I've been using this as a light tint on my lips rather than a really dramatic berry lip and it's absolutely beautiful!

GOSH Long Lasting Lip Marker in Berry; carrying on the berry lip love, GOSH's range are my favourite lip tints on the high street, and this one gives such a gorgeous colour I've been reaching it for it a good few days. It's a bit dramatic for everyday but I've been loving it going out at night, especially as with a tint you don't get the really classy lipstick marks all over glasses, perfect!

Rose Petal Salve; Another beaut I got in this months Boudoir Privé, I really can't say enough about this product. It's a multi-use product, useful for dry skin, lips, using as a highlight, to tame unruly brows, literally everything! I don't know how I coped without this in my handbag, this is a complete lifesaver!

Benefit High Beam; I love highlights, and I've been using this on my brow bone and cupids bow all month to add a bit of glow! Absolutely beautiful, but I can't say I would repurchase the full size, far too expensive to justify it and dupes work just as well!

Sleek Brow Kit in Light; I've been looking for a good brow kit for ages, but I found a lot of versions had far too many colours in, and for someone who never dyes their hair, I only really need a light brown. I bagged this as part of the 3 for 2 deal in Superdrug and I'm so glad I did, it's perfect and definitely a needed addition to my makeup bag!

What have you been loving this month?!

Haul; Avon, GOSH, No7, Probably the most awaited issue of Glamour ever...

So I'd planned to go shopping with some of my friends today, and stupid me forgot. Literally ten o'clock this morning, I heard a load of people outside my house banging on the windows, honestly thought I'd fallen victim to a bunch of youths who'd decided to terrorize me haha (it COULD of happened!). Anyway five minutes of me dragging a comb through my hair and shoving on some wonky eyeliner and we were off to the trafford centre. Now don't get me wrong, I love shopping, and I adore my friends, but the two together just doesn't make such a good combination. I always end up buying things I don't really want, spending half my time in shops I have literally no interest in and trying on majorly embarrassing clothes in topshop changing rooms to be taken pictures of and put straight on facebook in the name of humour (ok so the last one I don't mind so much haha, it's always hilarious trying to make the ugliest outfit ever work).

On another note HOW bloody annoying are those women at the make-up counters? Today in boots the benefit woman actually dragged me to the counter after I made eye contact (BIG mistake). I tried to explain I was completely broke and therefore I couldn't afford anything even remotely high end and I was running late for my train anyway so I couldn't stop, but she still found it necessary to gabble on about a load of products for about five minutes and would i like to sample any? No, I'd only come in for glamour magazine thankyou very much, GOODBYE.

So I obviously ended up buying three copies, I've been thinking for a long time about getting a decent cheek/lip tint, so these are perfect samples to test whether it's worth splashing the cash, and then ofcourse I had to give high beam a go! I'm not gonna blabber on about this whole Glamour Magazine offer because I think just about every girl in the UK has discussed it but it really is a good deal, and if you're thinking of trying any of the three now is your perfect chance! But now I do have three copies of Glamour, I might go out on the streets and try and sell them off big issue style.

So while I was in there I popped to the No7 counter on the hunt for something fairly cheaply I could buy with one of my no7 vouchers, and the woman recommended these eyeliners so I decided to give the black a go, when I swatched it in the shop it seemed pretty creamy and I think it'll be beautiful on a night out to jazz everything up a little! It's £7.75 without the voucher and in all honestly I probably wouldn't of bought it full price, but for under £3 it's a massive bargain!

Left To Right; Peachy, Miss Sweety, Hot Coral

Now, I think I'm becoming a BIT obsessed with nail polish. I just can't stop buying the stuff! These were probably a little pricier than I'd like at £4.99 each, but the bottles are just so sleek and beautiful I once again got persuaded by the packaging. I love all three of these colours, Peachy, believe it or not is a PEACH colour (no shit sherlock, I am such a good blogger), Miss Sweety a kinda creamy light peach colour (yeah, something like that...) and Hot Coral, which seems to look brick red in some lights, and a beautiful coral in others, but either way I love it, and doesn't really match any of my other corals, so I'm happy!

Now onto my avon order, I seem to go through catalogues I don't think much of, and others (like this months) I end up buying quite a few products.

First off I got this cute face mask gift set for a "cheap as chips" £3 (apologies for the David Dickinson reference haha, only thing I could think of on the spot). For this there is 12 masks, two of each type!

Secondly, this angled brush was on offer from the usual £6.00 to £3.00 so I snapped it up, you are a FOOL if you live in england and buy any avon brush full price, literally every other month they seem to have some kind of offer on. (I say this when I've bought about three brushes there full price and then regretted it... oops).

Third this pretty nail polish in Golden Twilight which looks a dark browny black colour with gold and bronze sparkles, how pretty! So looking forward to giving this a go, and at a third of the usual price at £2!

Then I got this Magix Face Perfector for a bloody amazing price of £5.25, when it usually retails for about £11. I've wanted to try this for ages, but I had a perfectly adequate alternative and other things were higher on my priority list. However my No7 primer is reaching it's end so I'll be giving this a go. I'm still pretty new on the primer front so if you guys have any recommendations let me know!

Now probably what I'm most excited about, the Jill Dempsey For Avon Professional Corrector Palette. Now I'm pretty sure this is a new addition to Avon because it's something I've never spotted before. This will rob you for £10, but it's currently on an introductory offer of £6, which I think is amazing value considering what you're getting. Now I got the light version but there is also a darker variation. The four concealers each do something, the lilac hides imperfections and conceals dark circles, the pink brightens dull skin and disguises dark spots, the apricot gives warmth to cheekbones and browbones, and the yellow counteracts redness on the face and t-zone. Now I've fancied a palette of this kind for a while so I'm so excited to try it, I really hope it doesn't let me down!

Now that's probably it for makeup and stuff now for a while, I know I keep saying that, but I literally went in both boots and superdrug and resisted the urge to buy any lipsticks! RESULT.

Anyway I have a REALLY fun weekend planned i.e. telling all my friends I've dropped out of college. Cue lots of "you bitch you can't leave me" "are you going to work in mcdonalds now?" and other abuse haha, absolutely dreading it. I really HATE confrontation, I'm one of those people who purposefully will phone somebody at 2am knowing their phone will be off to tell them something via voicemail haha, I'm awful!

Hope you lovelys had a good day! xoxoxoxox
