October 2017 Beauty Favourites

Prepare yourself...today may be Halloween but tomorrow, I get FESTIVE! If you follow me on Twitter, you will know how much I love Christmas and the holiday season officially starts for me tomorrow. This past month I have only had a few favourites but these have become holy grails for me and I know I will be repurchasing once I run out!

Glossier Generation G Lipstick Dupe?

I have fallen head over heels in love with Glossier since their UK launch, I literally need one of everything my collection. If you saw my haul (here) you will have seen that I picked up two of the Generation G Lipsticks. Since I have been testing them out and wearing them almost every day, I noticed that they are extremely similar to another product in my collection....

Earning Extra Money Online

With Christmas coming up I have been trying to find ways online to make some extra cash so I can treat my family this year! A few of these suggestions and ways I have been using for a while now and they do really work and are a lot of fun to do! If you are looking for some ways to earn a little extra, here are my top recommendations...

Stila Christmas Gift Sets 2017

I haven't tried that many products from Stila but I have loved everything I have tried so far. One of my favourite products is the Glitter & Glow Liquid Eyeshadows, they are honestly the best glitter eyeshadows I have ever tried, and I love the look of the mini set of those as well as the Eye for Elegance set which comes with three of the brand new formulations.

Autumn Evening Pamper Must Haves

I love a good pamper, especially in the Autumn/Winter when the nights get darker earlier and it's much colder outside. These are the products that I love to use for a pamper, all I need a bubble bath and Netflix and I am set for an hour or two with these products!

LOTD Fashion Haul + Review

I am trying to branch out of just blogging about beauty and LOTD have some lovely clothing pieces that I just had to share. I had my younger sister model them so you can see what they actually look like on how the fit a little better than just a flatlay or a photo of them hanging up.

Lancome Cushion Highlighter Review

I have tried the Lancome cushion blush and foundation previously and really liked the way that they looked and felt on the skin so when this cushion highlighter arrived through my letterbox, I was super interested to try it out! I have never tried a highlighter in cushion form before and it's unlike anything I have seen but I love the way it looks on the skin.

Too Faced Christmas Collection 2017

Too Faced are one of my favourite higher end brands so I always love seeing what they come up with for Christmas. Too Faced are own for having some of the best packaging and this holiday collection is no different! I love the selection this year and I can definitely see myself picking up a few things.

The Best Brow Products I've Ever Used

I feel like I am always going on about how rubbish my natural brows are but they really are! I have tried so many different brow products from so many brands, from affordable options to stupid expensive and I always come back to Eylure. One of these products is absolute holy grail status and with many that are must-haves.

Halloween Top Picks from Essence

Essence is quickly becoming my absolute favourite affordable brand, I have tried so many products from them over the last year or so and I have never been disappointed! This selection of products is not only perfect for Halloween but also to just add a little bit of fun to your makeup! Like with all products from Essence, they are so cheap (but not in quality) so they are also a great way to experiment.

Jessica Street Style Collection Review (+ Swatches)

I love painting my nails in Autumn/Winter as I can use all of my favourite colours, the darker tones and vampy shades! This collection from Jessica includes a good mixture of the dark shades that I am obsessed with but they also included some slightly lighter shades which are perfect for those sunny Autumn days.

Halloween Top Picks From B&M

I love Halloween (or any excuse to decorate the house and get festive really) and B&M is one of my favourite places to shop for homeware and other goodies! I went into my local store and picked out some of my top picks from the Halloween section, they had so much more good stuff too! B&M is super affordable and this whole lot of stuff cost me around £20, you can't beat that!

Glossier Haul + First Impressions

As soon as Glossier was available in the UK last week, I didn't think I was going to go as mad as I have but I have fallen for the brand (I blame Lily from Pint Sized Beauty slightly, we are both obsessed). I thought I would share some first impressions within my haul as I have been testing them out for a little over a week now and so far, I am so impressed!

Vegan Beauty to Try

I have been trying to pay much more attention to the products that I am using and buying and by that I mean, making sure I am as cruelty-free as possible. But I have also been trying to find more vegan products which is where this brand comes in. I had never used of Fair Squared before but I have been really enjoying these delicious lime products.

The Body Shop Pumpkin Vanilla Body Butter

Years ago, I used to be obsessed with the body butters from The Body Shop so I couldn't wait to start using one again. The Body Shop has a limited edition collection out at the moment that's Vanilla Pumpkin scented! I am not usually the biggest fan of anything to do with pumpkins but this scent just works!

Proto-Col Powders Reviewed

I love a good powder, I can't do my makeup without one and I honestly don't know how some people just don't set their foundation or concealer! I had been wanting to try more mineral based products and these two powders from Proto-col seemed like the perfect fit, I have been so impressed with these and I think I will even repurchase them soon.

Burt's Bees Peppermint Lip Balm (Limited Edition)

I am obsessed with anything with peppermint in! My favourite Bath & Body Works scent is Twisted Peppermint and I could eat candy canes every single day so when this lip balm popped through my letterbox, I was so excited! Burt's Bees have some incredible products and this one is no different, it has gone straight into my handbag and I need to get a backup as I know I will use it up in no time.

Laura Geller Christmas Gift Sets 2017

I haven't tried too many things from Laura Geller but this collection had seriously caught my attention! This year they have some lovely Christmas gifting options from baubles to palettes and gift sets. If you are wanting to try out the brand like I am, now is the perfect time with these great value sets and kits!

Real Techniques Brush Crush Collection

I just spotted these on the Superdrug website before and I had to share them! I love Real Techniques brushes and I find them to be such great value for money and they are bringing so many good looking products lately and I need some of these in my collection! This is the new Brush Crush collection that includes one of the prettiest brushes on the high street.

Eylure x Fleur de Force Brow Definer Review

It's no secret how much of an Eylure fan I am, especially when it comes to brows, I am obsessed. Back in March, Eylure collaborated with one of my favourite YouTubers, Fleur de Force on a brow range after collaborating with her last year on lashes. And now she is back again with a brand new product that won't be leaving my makeup bag anytime soon!

Simple Water Boost Skincare

I have been a huge fan of Simple Skincare for years now and their face wipes are the only ones I will ever use when I am in a hurry. They have just launched a brand new range, the Water Boost line to inject even more hydration into your skincare routine. If you have sensitive and dehydrated skin, these will be your new best friends.

Pixi Christmas Gift Sets 2017

I have tried too many products from Pixi but with Christmas coming up, it's the perfect time to do so! This year, Pixi has some gorgeous gifting options available that I just can't wait to get my hands on. There's a great mixture of makeup and skincare too.

Makeup That Lasts 18 Hours

A few weeks ago, I had to get up at 5 am to go to work before going out for the day to spend it with my cousin who was over from Austrailia so I needed to make my makeup last as long as possible. I wasn't expecting my makeup to last as long as it did but these products went above and beyond my expectations! I only had to lightly touch up once too.

70 Years of Eylure

This year, Eylure are celebrating 70 years of creating gorgeous lashes on a budget! They are one of the only brands I trust when it comes to my lashes (and brows but I will be talking about those wonder products in a post soon!). If you are looking for some new false lashes, whether you are on a budget or not, you need some Eylure lashes in your life.

Urban Decay Troublemaker Mascara Review

I am obsessed with trying out new mascaras and this one has been at the top of my list! As soon as it came through the letterbox I couldn't wait to coat my lashes! I have tried a few lash products from Urban Decay in the past and I had been a big fan of them so I couldn't wait to test out this newbie, especially after the rave reviews it has been getting!

Smashbox Christmas Gift Sets 2017

Smashbox is one of the few brands that have seriously excited me when it comes to Christmas gift sets this year! These are such great value for money and I have my eyes on two of them so far. I have always liked the Smashbox products I have tried and I love that they are now cruelty-free!

The Ordinary Coverage Foundation Review

I have been trying to get my hands on this foundation of the longest time but with not knowing what shade to get and how difficult it has been to get a hold of, I only managed to get it a couple of weeks ago! I have been putting this to the test and I do think it is great for the price, you can't beat it! I am a huge fan of The Ordinary skincare products so I knew I would probably be a fan of this product too.

Fashion, Fabric & Fragrance Box // The Perfume Society

Fragrances are one of those products that I never like to buy myself usually, they are quite expensive and I like to make sure I really like the fragrance before investing. This is a new beauty box from The Perfume Society and it is a great way to test out a huge selection of perfumes (and extras) for a really great price! It's such great value for money that it shouldn't be missed.

Maybelline Brow Tattoo Review

I feel like I am always going on about how rubbish my brows are but they really are! They are tiny and thin so I need all the help I can get. I have tried so many different brow products but never a tint as they have always seemed terrifying to me but as this one is semi-permanent, I thought it would be worth giving a try after all of the good things I had heard about it.

Marc Jacobs Beauty Christmas Gift Sets 2017

I am going to be broke if brands keep bring out such good Christmas collections! Marc Jacobs Beauty have a lovely Christmas collection this year and I love that the gift sets start at £14 and go up to £100 so anyone can try the brand no matter their budget! I have my eyes on one of the crackers and the £99 set is absolutely stunning!

Halloween Makeup Must Haves

With Halloween just a few weeks away, it's time to get the makeup ready to wear! I am not one to do crazy Halloween makeup but these are definitely some products I will be using the week of! You could definitely use them to great some crazy makeup looks but I have a few more simple ideas in mind that are just as festive.

Build Your Own Beauty Box with Latest in Beauty

I love beauty boxes and receiving a surprise selection of goodies but do you know whats even better? Picking your own products! I have always loved getting beauty boxes as they are usually really great value for money and it allows you to try new things but you don't always get such a great selection to try. Latest in Beauty does have some great collection boxes ready to purchase but I love the build your own option.

Fresh Christmas Gift Sets 2017

I have been wanting to try out Fresh products for years now and I think this Christmas will be the time that I finally do! They have some gorgeous offerings this year which are all available at John Lewis! They aren't usually that easy to get hold of in the UK but this year it's a one-stop shop!

New Skincare I'm Using

I have been on such a skincare kick lately and I have finally been trying to get myself in a routine every day to try and get my skin looking the best it can be. These are the products I have been trying out and have some first impressions on to share, I'm sure I will have full reviews of a few of them in the next couple of weeks/months!

Halloween Favourites on eBay

With Halloween just a few weeks away, I had to share some of my favourite eBay finds! I love a bit of eBay and you can often find some hidden gems! These are my top picks for Halloween goodies with a bit of everything from cushion covers to phone cases to earrings!

New Makeup on Trial

I love trying out new makeup, it's one of my favourite parts of getting ready in the morning! I have been testing out a few new products recently so I thought I would share my first impressions on them before I do in-depth reviews on most of them as my opinions often change the longer I have used a product. So far I have been really impressed with a few and one product I am just not so sure about yet.

Sleek Christmas Gift Sets 2017 (+ Advent Calendar)

I am loving so many of the Christmas gift sets this year I just can't get enough! Sleek have some amazing ones on offer this year and I love so many of their products that I will definitely be picking some up to gift this holiday season. All of these offerings are on the 3 for 2 Christmas Mix and Match deal at Boots too!

Prima Makeup Glitter Shadows

I am a huge fan of glitter shadows but they can be a bit of a pain to apply so I don't wear them as much as I want to. However, Prima glitters are the next best thing! I haven't tried anything from Prima Makeup before but they launched back in 2014 and have some beautiful products available, I can see this being the start of a huge collection!

ghd Platinum Styler in Blush Pink

I have wanted to try a ghd styler for the longest time now, I use heat styling tools on my hair daily and I can't believe I never got a one sooner! If you haven't tried any of the ghd electrical products before, now is the time to do so if you want a gorgeous limited edition product that will donate money to charity too.

Elegant Touch Chrome Collection

I am a huge fan of Elegant Touch, they are pretty much the only nails I ever wear and they are killing it with all of the new collections and styles coming out in the next couple of months! I am also super excited about the Christmas ones! These two styles are from the new Chrome collection and they are gorgeous - I can't stop staring at them!

Soaprise Homemade Favourites

As the weather starts to get colder and darker at night, I am all about relaxing with a bath and a film on my laptop! And of course, you have to have a bath bomb or something to make the bath a little more fun! I haven't tried too many bath bomb companies before but Soaprise have well and truly spoilt me and sent me some of their lovely products to try out.

Get the Best Nights Sleep with Feather & Down

Up until I tried these products, I have been really struggling to get a good nights sleep. I would wake up multiple times throughout the night and most nights I just couldn't fall asleep for hours. I had heard such good things about Feather & Down that I just had to try the products for myself and I have never been so impressed with products as I have been with these!

Jack Wills Christmas Gift Sets 2017 (+ Advent Calendar)

I love Jack Wills clothing and have done for years so I love that they have extended their range into boots and have launched beauty products. This year the Christmas collection is much better than last years (in my opinion) and I love the prints and colours used! I am definitely going to be putting one or two on my Christmas list.

Ardell Halloween Lashes

I love to get festive at whatever chance I can and with today being the first of October - it's officially Halloween time! Ardell has released three lash styles perfect for any Halloween look, just a warning, these are super dramatic! I have never tried anything from Ardell before so this was a fun introduction.
