Beauty ¦ October favourites


So October is over and it's basically Christmas. Today's it's time for my October favourites. This month I've been turning to some old favourites as I didn't buy much at the start of the month.
 
Starting of with the only non-beauty product in this months favourites I have the Muji Berry tart candle. This smells so beautiful, it's sweet however it isn't over powering and sickly. I've also found that it has burnt so cleanly (candles that burn unevenly are one of my pet hates) For £3.50 I didn't expect the quality and I really wished I'd picked up more scents.


I really love Revlon as a brand in general and the Primer, shadow and sparkle palette in the shade Metropolitan is no exception. The lid shade reminds me a lot of Mac patina shadow and the glitter is absolutely stunning. The shades in here are all well pigmented and blendable and have a good 6 hours wear without primer and a good 9 with primer.
 
Gosh's CC cream is something I can only use when I'm tanned as I have it in a pretty dark shade. Every time I wear it I absolutely love it. The formula is incredibly hydrating so it doesn't cling to any dry patches. It leaves the skin looking glowing and healthy as well as natural without compromising on coverage. On a good skin day I can easily wear this with no concealer.
 
 
I wasn't expecting much from the Ps love lip liner in 09 however I'm so impressed. It's a stunning mauvey browny pink shade which works nicely under nude lipsticks to darken them a little. It isn't a chalky liner and although it's not moisturizing it doesn't feel like it is drying my lips out either. For £1 I definitely need to go and pick up more shades.
 
Soap and glory thick and fast is a very different mascara for me. If you read my blog regularly you will know that I am a huge fan of Benefit They're real which offers pretty dramatic lashes. In comparison this mascara is a lot mor natural however I've been really enjoying wearing it on a day to day basis. The formula is also pretty nice and leaves the lashes nicely separated and lengthened, however just a side note it is definitely not cry proof!
 

Finally for my October favourites I have the Perricone MD Chia serum. This is something I would have never purchased myself as it's so god damn expensive however I have fallen in love with it. It's helped clear up the dry sin on my face and bar larger breakouts around that time of the month my spots have cleared u considerably. I've also found it's really helped combat my oily nose. A little side note despite the fact that it's expensive I've been using this bottle for about two months and I'm not even a quarter of the way down yet so a little definitely goes a long way.

Beauty ¦ The Makeup collection - Eyes and brows

So I thought it was about time that I updated my makeup collection. This time I've decided that I'm going to be super in depth and I'm going to spread my collection out over 7 days. I just want to add a little disclaimer that I am in no way shape or form bragging I love makeup collection posts and videos and I wish that more people did super in depth ones. If you would like to know my opinions on any of the products in this post let me know in the comments and I can either link you to my review or give you a quick opinion in the comments.
 
If you missed them here are Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 and Part 4  
 

So after showing you my powder shadows yesterday today I'm talking about everything else eye related. Starting off with cream shadows I have my pots all lined on their sides so that I can see the shades. I have a lot of the Maybelline colour tattoo's as I think they are incredible. The formula is brilliant and they are super easy. I also have a Mac Bare study paint pot and a P2 forever intense eyeshadow cream.
 
 
I also really love a good eyeshadow crayon. My favourite shadow crayons are the Rimmel scandal eyes crayons which have all the qualities that I want in a cream shadow. The Topshop crayon is wonderful however I do think it is discontinued which sucks as it is a really brilliant formula as well as being a stunning shade.
 
 
 Two products I'm not 100% sure about are the Gosh Forever shadow pencil and the Miss sporty fabulous eyes pencils. The gosh has a lovely formula however it isn't in a shade I would ever wear (I won it in a giveaway) therefore I don't reach for it. The Miss sporty glossy pencils where sent to me and were something I really wanted to like as there are some stunning colours in the range however I find for me they are far to wet as I already have oily eyelids therefore they just settle and crease really badly.


This bit of my collection has a bit of everything from eyelash glue to mascara to brow gel. I have lots of liner pencils despite the fact I never use them and I also have my eye primer which I cannot live without. (Urban Decay Primer potion if you where wondering)
 


Some favourites out of this section include Duo lash glue, Soap and glory thick and fast mascara which is my current favourite mascara however if I had to pick an all time favourite mascara I would have to go for Benefit's they're real, Benefit instant brow pencil, Collection fast stroke liner which is by far the best liquid liner I have ever tried and the Maybelline brow drama pencil.
 


Finally I have a little section with my eyelash curlers, back up/brightly coloured mascaras and some false lashes. These Eylure pro lash individuals are my favourites as they are a million times easier than strip lashes.
 
So that's it for today! I hope you enjoyed
