Monthly Favorites (Autumn Favourites) • October 2013


Hey guys and gals,

I'm going to be sharing with you the beauty products I've been loving this month and for autumn in general. Before I get onto my favourites I was thinking recently that I may start doing Youtube videos to accompany my blog posts and I think it might be a nice thing to try out, but let me know what you think in the comments! All the products that I mention will be linked at the end of this post. 


The first product that I've been loving this month is a recent purchase of mine and is the Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation. I had heard a lot of good things said about this product from so many Youtubers and Bloggers that I just had to try it out for myself and it is as good as everyone said. I got this colour in 103 - True Ivory which is slightly dark for my skin, there is a shade lighter than this so when I run out I will be repurchasing this lightest shade. This foundations definitely feels like a high-end product when applied and gives the skin a lovely glow, which is very benefitial since the weather is getting colder and our skin is getting dry. 


My next favourite this month is a classic colour for autumn/winter and is a lovely dark berry lipstick from Revlon and is in the colour 010 - Plum. This is such a classic colour that I have always been missing from my makeup collection, I really recommend this colour as it applies and lasts really well and has just a nice amount of sheen to it, I personally don't like matt lipsticks and especially so for the cold months so this is a perfect consistancy. 


These next two products are ones that have been in my collection for a year or so now and I absolutly love and am so happy to be able to use again as I think they are such lovely colours for autumn and winter and work together so well. L-R Cranberry and Sketch by MAC. Both these colours have glitter in them and they make me feel so festive wearing them because if you can't go glittery at christmas when can you? 


Jimmy Choo Eau de Parfum has been my favourite scent for a few years now and I have recently gone back on to wearing it and I have rekindled my love for it once again. I think because I first got it for christmas as  a gift it always reminds me of the season. The moisturiser that came with the perfume is also lovely and I love wearing these two products together as the smell really lasts for a long time throughout the day which I love from perfumes and moisturisers. This perfume has almost run out and I will definitely be repurchasing. 


This Body Shop coconut shower cream is such a huge favourite this month, this is my second purchase of the product hence why this is a full product. Although it isn't really a autumn scent i've still been loving it as I have found it to be really moisturising and has such a lovely smell of coconut, a lot of fruit smelling products can be too strong and quite sickly; I really love this as it a sophisticated coconut. 


And finally for my hair I have been loving this Bamboo Texture Mist Spray, this is the best texture spray I have found so far and gives my hair a lot of volume and texture when I feel it is looking limp and very flat. The past few months I've been trying to get my hair back into good condition so I've not been dying it or using too much heat so by putting some of this product in my hair I feel like it makes my hair not so plain and boring.
