October Favourites! :)

Ok, so I know we are now in November don't worry I haven't forgotten what month it is :P

I have been meaning to share the products I have been loving to use all last month, but this post just kept getting delayed. However, I finally managed to round up my favourite products...

Tah Dah!  Above are all the products I have used and loved this past month.

First up we have the bright pink bottle of Batiste Dry Shampoo - big and bouncy XXL Volume. I am a fan of the normal Baptiste Dry Shampoo, and for those of you unfamiliar with that it is basically a life-saver for any busy working woman during the week. In fact, I would say its a godsend for any girl be that working or not, as it saves so much time and helps you to keep your tresses fresh between washes. You just spray it liberally over your hair, concentrating on those areas you want to freshen, massage it thoroughly and brush it out. 

The pink big and bouncy version is my favourite one I've used so far, as it adds intense volume to any hairdo and makes back-combing so much easier. I'm in love.

Next up we have an item featured on my last post. The MAC Pro Longwear concealer in NW25. I have used this pretty much every day since purchasing it and I am really impressed with it. It gives fantastic coverage and I love the handiness of the pump. I don't think it dispenses too much product as I have read in some other reviews, and find it does help to cover my dark circles well. Set with powder, its a must have.

The Sleek Blush by 3 palette in 'Sugar' is next on my faves. I bought this a while back, when the Sleek palettes were all the rage, used it constantly and then forgot about it. However, I have dusted it off again as Sleek blushes are SO pigmented and good quality and I feel the colour range in this palette is perfect for this season.

A Collection 200 Extreme Felt Tip Eyeliner in Blue is my next favourite. I bought this on a whim, however I am really impressed with the longevity and depth of colour it has, as well as the ease of application. The only thing I don't like is the tendency it has to transfer onto the lids. Other than that, I'm sold.

My only lip product this month is the Tinted Brilliance Balm by Pixi, featured in an earlier post. Its a balm/lipstick hybrid and has a very refreshing minty taste. I love the colour as its very office appropriate  whilst being slightly deeper than a normal 'pink-ish' shade. I hope to do a detailed review of this at some point with swatches :)

My favourite eye brush is up next. As reviewed here, the Real Techniques Base Shadow Brush has been used by me a lot this past month. I use it for a quick smokey eye in the morning or just a simple wash of colour as well as subtle contouring. It's fab :) Ps I have also washed it and there was no shedding or distortion of brush shape!

A very old favourite for me now, the Nivea Visage Tinted Day Cream in the shade Natural. I used to use this and only this on my face up until a few years back and had forgotten how simply great it was. As the weather is getting colder and my skin drier; My skin and I have been craving some moisture throughout the day and I have to say this definitely provides it. It blurs imperfections thanks to the Vitamin E and is very easy to use. I have been topping this up with some concealer, powder and have been good to go (on good skin days that is!)

Lastly in my list of favourites I have the Tresemme Straightening Spray with Argan Oil. I had heard a lot of good things about the Tresemme Heat Protectant Spray but when I went to buy it, it was nowhere to be seen so I returned with this instead. I like the scent and feel it does a good job of taming and de-frizzing my hair and like to use it on damp hair just before using my GHD's or curler. I seem to get more use of it in this colder weather and the addition of Argan Oil is a bonus point.

So there we have it, I hope you enjoyed this post and are enjoying your weekend.

Stay tuned for more posts this week and don't forget to comment!
