Hi
everyone :)
October
has come and gone and all my winter clothes have now reappeared out of their
summer hiding places. I have to say I am quite enjoying getting all wrapped up
and cosy in my big coats, boots and scarves for the colder months and I have
already started my Christmas shopping ready for this year’s festivities. In
this post I thought I’d share with you guys a few products that I have been
using throughout October and why I love them :)
So let’s get started....
Avon
Ultra Colour Brilliance Lipstick in Vermillion - £8
This
is a really nice orangey red lipstick with a subtle shimmer that is great for
the upcoming party season. It has quite a nice, soft and creamy feel to it and
doesn’t dry out the lips. Overall I’ve found that it has decent staying power
although I have needed to touch it up here and there throughout the day. I love
this type of colour for the festive season and will be continuing to wear it
non-stop in the run up to Christmas.
Barry
M Glitter Nail Varnishes - £2.99
I
have now accumulated quite a few of the glitter nail varnishes from Barry M and
think they look fab on their own or as an accent colour as shown in the photos.
You have to paint on a few coats to get the full glitter effect but I think the
final look is definitely worth it. For a full review of the Barry M polishes

MAC
Cream Colour Base in Hush - £14.50
I
have been using this product from MAC as a highlighter non-stop throughout
October. Hush is a pale, shimmery pink shade that looks great with my skin tone
and although it is a cream highlighter it doesn’t look oily and stays put
throughout the day. At £14.50 I think this product is a little on the pricey
side but it’s definitely one I will be purchasing again.
Clinique
Makeup Brush Cleanser - £12.50
I
had been using baby shampoo to clean my makeup brushes with but found that it
wasn’t removing all the oils from the makeup properly and my brushes just
weren’t as clean as I had hoped they’d be. I decided to give this makeup brush
cleanser from Clinique a try as I had heard a lot of good things about it and I
have to say I wasn’t disappointed. I will write a full review of this product
as I think there is too much to say here but it has been one of my favourite
products recently so thought I would give it a quick mention in this post :)
The
Fabulously Fashionable Life of Isabel Bookbinder by Holly McQueen
I
only usually talk about beauty products in my posts but I just had to give a
quick mention to ‘The Fabulously Fashionable Life of Isabel Bookbinder’ which I
am currently reading. If you like Sophie Kinsella I think you will like this
book and I just can’t put it down at the moment. I won’t go into a whole review
here but I have included a link in case any of you would like to read more
about it.
So
there you have my October favourites. I hope you have all had a good October
and are enjoying fishing out all your winter clothes and beauty products. I’d
love to hear your October favourites or if you have tried any of the products I
have mentioned above :)
Thank
