Hi beautiful peopleeeeeee :D
Hope you're all fine and dandy at the start of this lovely November! (BEST MONTH OF THE YEAR BTW :D)
So,
I've been contemplating, since I decided to restart my blogging, on
what I'd like my first piece to be. I thought of everything from my new
healthy eating plans (which have been plans for years now btw hahaha) to
taking the easy route and uploading some of my poetry/ fiction. (cos
I'm lazy like that eek) So then it occurred to me, what better way to
start by doing a favourites from the previous month as my debut?! Can't
talk about anything better than something I actually adore, so why not??
I've
limited myself to picking 5 things and surprise surprise they're all
make up lool!! This wasn't intentional btw, I genuinely couldn't think
of anything I've brought this month that wasn't make up and considered a
'fave'. Anyway guys, if you do like this post then I shall definitely
be making this a monthly thing at the start of each month so please
leave comments etc below to let me know what ya'll think!!
As for now though, read on and find out my faves this October..
1. BENEFIT HOOLA BRONZER RRP £23.50
I
actually spotted this bronzer first on my beautiful friend Masumahs
face and was drawn in by the matte and tan like radiance it gave off.
Unlike many other bronzers out there, Hoola has a none shine or shimmer
look, which instantly gives you that glowy holiday look without making
you look glitter ridden as if you're about to go to a party at 8 am lol.
I'd been looking for a nice bronzer for a while but aforementioned, I
wasn't a fan of all the glitter malarky, thus, it was a definite must
have. Also, the longerity is brilliant. Stays on pretty much all day
with no touch ups required!!
2. MAC RETRO MATTE RELENTLESSLY RED RRP £15.00
What
can I say about this stunning lipstick?! Absolutely love the pinkish/
reddy colour. Just beaut. Despite my growing Mac lipstick collection,
I've never owned any Mac reds so this was a first. However, spotted this
in duty free just before jetting off on holiday early October and
simply just had to buy lol. The matte texture glides on quite creamy but
dries beautifully matte. Thankfully my lips don't dry out very quickly
but if yours do, just coat with some Vaseline or any other clear lip
balm.
3. BOBBI BROWN BB CREAM SPF 35 RRP £29.00
Again,
this was also purchased in duty free in a bit of a rush as I'd
remembered last minute that I'd forgotten my tinted moisturiser. (btw I
didn't even USE this product on holiday because it was too hot for make
up lol) Like many BB creams, it moisturises your skin very well, leaving
your face feeling nourished (if that's even a possible way to describe
it haha) and revitalised. I've always been a fan of the matte look but
after this I'm loving having a dewy and fresh finish. Also less is more,
as they say! What my favourite thing with this was the actual colour.
It was a pretty perfect match for my skin considering it was only a BB
cream with 3 shades lol. (I bought medium btw)
4. MAC PAINT POT: PAINTERLY RRP £15.00
This
little beautiful pot was gifted to me from my darling sister, and boy
was I excited to use it. I'd been meaning to buy a nude eye shadow for a
while so this was just a perfect present to me. I'd never tried any of
these paint pots so was overwhelmed after my first use! It brushes on
lovely and creamy, then dries to leave a lovely matte looking shadow.
I've noticed it doesn't need any primer beforehand which is great for me
because I get annoyed applicating primer and waiting for it to dry lol.
Impatient Nasima. This also means that it can work as a good primer/
base for other eyeshadows before application. Haven't tried it as a base
but will you know how it turns out!! Anywho, can't wait to get my hands
on more of these little paint pots in other colours. They're
exquisite!!
5. BENEFIT BAD GAL RRP £18.50 (including a travel sized bottle)
Call
me a cheat but this is something I've used before and actually swear
by!! The reason I've included it is because I stocked up on a new bottle
after making the mistake of trying something new. Lol. I tried Benefits
other best seller 'They're Real' but it just wasn't for me. On the
other hand, this beautiful wand is just magic on my lashes!! After a
coat of this I actually look like I have eyelashes for once haha. (sad
life of a short lashed girl :( weh) The brush is quite big, catching
those little lashes for you and coating them bold and beautiful. Also,
the brush instantly volumises your lashes after a coat, making them look
long and thicker too!! The mascara can be purchased on its own at
£17.50 in a waterproof version too, however mine was the price above as I
purchased it with a travel sized mini for on the go.
:D :D :D
AND THERE WE HAVE IT GUYS, MY FIRST ACTUAL POST WOOOOOOP!!!!
