I'm not usually one for those monthly favourites posts, as I'm quite forgetful, or products don't impress me enough to warrant the term "favourite", or I get sidetracked by other things...but last month I picked up a few new products that I've really loved and will definitely be repurchasing!
Aussie Miracle Hair Insurance Leave-In Conditioner- I LOVE this, okay. I go round recommending it to everyone whether they want my advice or not! I spray this in my hair just after towel-drying and occasionally at night-time just for a special treat and I swear my hair's never been this soft. It's great! The smell is lovely too, like all Aussie products. This is about £.3.45 in Superdrug or Boots, worth looking out for promotions though.
Gosh Touch Up concealer - picked this up after reading several favourable reviews and it really does a great job on dark circles! I think it was £5.99 in Superdrug.
Too Faced Smoky Eye Palette - I got this in Sephora over a year ago as it had somehow found itself in the sale for 5 euro...yes you read that correctly, FIVE EURO! I just googled it to confirm my suspicions and yes, it's still selling in Debenhams and Boots for upwards of £22...Anyway, I adore my little bargain palette and as you can see I'm heavily into the second base colour and the little brown one on the top right. I use the light colours every day just to smooth out my eyelid, even if I'm not wearing any liner over the top, and they work perfectly. The other colours are all beautifully pigmented and I'd love to get the green one to work on my eyes but I just can't make it look good!
Nail varnishes - admittedly I got both of these free, the Missguided one came with last month's Cosmo and the Nails Inc one is free with this month's Glamour (and for 2 quid I'm considering picking up another colour!). I adore the colour of the Missguided one and it lasts ages if you use a topcoat. It's such a pretty, subtle colour, and the consistency and texture of the polish is pretty good too. I usually use a couple of coats though, as the first one can be a bit streaky! The Nails Inc one is such a beautiful colour in the bottle, although slightly darker on the nails. It doesn't last as well as the Missguided one with a topcoat, which I think is a bit sad considering how much Nails Inc polishes cost normally, but it's so pretty I don't even mind!
Marc Jacobs Daisy perfume - I spray this every now and then when I want to be reminded of summertime, and as it's so light and fresh it leaves a great after-scent when sprayed onto my big woolly scarf.
Collection 2000 Extreme eyeliner - read my review on this HERE. I really like this, it does the same job as my beloved Bourjois Liner Feutre but for about half the price!
I'd just like to point out that I had to edit the colouring in all these photos as they all turned out really orange...I miss proper daylight! What were your October favourites? Anything you'd recommend to others?

oooh, very nice choices! I absolutely love the aussie products and the GOSH touch up concealer (I reckon GOSH is definitely one of the most underrated brands!)
ReplyDeleteI dont really splash out on expensive nail polishes cos I just dont look after my nails enough to warrent it so I was really pleased when I got a free nails inc polish with this months Glamour magazine :)
I have heaps of split ends and the aussie spray has really helped my hair feel softer in spite of them :) so yeah, like Stephie says, it's just awesome!
ReplyDeleteI don't tend to buy nail polishes either, I was looking at my collection yesterday and realised all bar one I've received as gifts or freebies! Love that Glamour gives such great freebies away, makes it worth buying :)

Aussie have a heat protection & leave in spray which I loooove and it smells great. Fab bargain on the Too Faced palette, I want the Neutral eye one xx
ReplyDeleteDaisy by MJ is the best parfume ever. I love it! Another parfume I would recommend is Flowerbomb by Viktor&Rolf!
ReplyDeleteI got Jermyn Stree with Glamour, which is the browny-beige shade, I figured I've got enough pinks and reds so might aswell try something different! x
ReplyDeleteOh my word I got both those nail varnishes too! I have the nails inc one on right now, not too bad even without a top coat! and I LOVED the missguided it was gorgeous. Great minds think alike :) xxx
