Hello beauties, happy saturday! Can't believe October is already gone, hope everyone had a great Halloween. I decide to do another monthly favourites for you guys because I had a great feedback on my last one so here are some products that I have been loving for the month of October. There are some old favs as well as newbies that I have been wanting to share, I got products for the hair, face and makeup so let's jump right into it!
Let's start with skincare. I bought this Facial Spray by Mario Badescu and I have been dying to tell you all about it because it is so refreshing, hydrating and just a pleasure to use. It has great ingredients in it such as aloe, herbs, rose water and non of the nasty chemicals nor alcohol were added so if you are looking for a gentle, hydrating toner then give this a shot.
It just feels so lovely on the skin as you spray. The spray comes out real fine and you can use it as a toner obviously or spray whenever your skin is a little dry, you can also use it over makeup to refresh the look throughout the day, it just makes the skin look more radiant and it doesn't disturb makeup. TIP: use it on hair if your hair feels a little dull and dry. A great discover this month, just Love love love!!!
Next skincare fav is an oldie but a goodie... Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate. This stuff is seriously godsend. I have been using a lot of this lately, on its own, mixing it with my moisturiser, mixing it with my foundation whichever way you prefer.
It is so hydrating, refreshing, nourishing without being greasy. It smells divine. I'm pretty sad that I'm almost out of it. Well it actually really lasts because I've had this for almost 10 months and I still have a little bit left, a little goes a long way, definitely a must have for autumn and winter!
The last skincare favourite is a serum from one of my Memeboxes. It's a concentrated serum by the brand Boscians that is supposed to deeply hydrates the skin and improve skin's texture. It says "whitening" on the tin but I suppose it means "brightening" because who would want their faces to be white?! I know I like mine tanned! Anyway I don't know about the brightening part but I like the fact that it is light in texture, kind of lotion-like, feels so nice on the skin. It smells lovely too which is always a bonus. It does hydrate my skin but very lightly so definitely layer it with a moisturiser on top.
Moving onto hair... I was in LUSH a few weeks back and saw their solid shampoo bars, they just look so interesting because I have never tried "solid" shampoos before. I got the Seanik one which is made of seaweed, sea salt and lemon oil.
The lady at the counter told me that it is good for someone who has fine and dull hair, and I definitely "qualify" for that. It lathers really well which I like and smells amazing. It does make my hair very clean so if you are not a big fan of squeaky clean sort of feeling then this is not for you. It definitely strips down all the dirt and grease out of my hair. I, to be honest, don't know if it gives me any volume but I just like how my hair feels afterwards, so clean, so fresh and I find it treats my itchy scalp as well. I really like it and I will definitely explore a little on more LUSH shampoo bars after this.
Now let's talk about my makeup favs in the month of October. First up it's a newbie from KIKO. It's a Clear Eyebrow Wax. Now I have never tried any brow wax before so I was surprised how much I like this. It just keeps my long, thick and hard brow hairs in place and make them really neat looking. It's real simple to use as well, just work this through the brows and use your favourite eyebrow pencil after. It works, it's cheap so definitely worth trying out.
Lastly it's the Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Perversion. I have actually stopped using this for a while because it smudges on me, but I have been using it lately just on my upper lash lines then blend out with a brush for a softer and smokey look. I find that it does not transfer nor smudge around my eyes if I use it this way. I just really like the smokey look that this eyeliner gives, so have to mention it.
