October Favourites

 

Hello Readers,

Today I'll be doing my monthly favourites post! October has been a month where I've not really used or tried any new products if I'm honest. I've switched up a few bits in my everyday make-up routine however it's not much so sorry for the disappointing lack of products. Enough rambling and on with the post!



First up in my October favourites is MAC's matt powder blush in the shade Melba. This blush is very peach / coral toned which perhaps is a bit better suited to the summer months however I prefer an orangey toned blush to a pink one as I feel like they suit me better. This blush is very pigmented so only a little amount of it is needed to add a bit of colour to your face. I have had this blush for about a year now and still haven't even made a dent in it! This product also featured in my June favourites post which you can see here.

 

Next up is a product that I've featured a few times on my blog now and it's GOSH BB Cream in the shade Sand. I've done a post raving about how underrated this product is which you can see here. I've also featured this in my July favourites post which you can see here. I always find myself coming back to this product as it's just so good. I feel like it's the perfect match for my skin, it's long lasting and it looks so natural. I couldn't praise it enough! I'm almost all out of this now so it looks like I'll be picking up another tube some time soon. 

Next up is Rimmels Retro Glam Scandal Eyes Mascara. I've had this mascara for just over a month now and I really like it. I much prefer this mascara now that it's beginning to dry up a little bit as I'm really not a fan of wet mascara. I feel like this helps to thicken my lashes and also fans them out quite nicely. To read more about what I think of this product you can check out the review I did it of it last month by clicking here.

Next up is something a bit dull however I'll show them anyway. These are Superdrugs own Camomile Facial Cleansing wipes, they retail for 99p so they're super cheap! I've used Superdrugs facial wipes before however I've never used the Camomile ones until recently. These wipes just smell so so good! I absolutely love using them, they're quite good at removing make-up and just smell so lovely that they're enjoyable to use. I found that the face wipes I was previously using seemed to be breaking me out however since switching to these wipes I've seen an improvement in my skin so I'll definitely continue to use these!

That's all for this months favourites post. Hopefully I'll have a few more products in my next one!
I hope you're all well.

 

Empties #1

 

Hello Readers,

It's been a while since my last post so apologies for that. I've been suffering from a bit of writers block recently and had no idea what to do a post on. However I was looking around my flat this evening when I realised that I have a fair few empty products laying around. I've never done an empties post before so I hope this is some what interesting for you all to read.

First up is the L'Oreal Elvive Colour Protect Shampoo and Conditioner. I recently dyed my hair a few weeks back and have been using these since. I only used a semi - permanent hair dye and I'd say this combination definitely helped my hair colour last longer. I normally find that all hair dyes seem to fade on me within 2 weeks max, but by using these I've managed to keep my hair colour quite dark for just over a month. I really like these for maintaining hair colour, however I'm not sure if I would repurchase as I really need to buy shampoos that will help control my extremely frizzy and wavy hair. So if anyone could recommend some shampoos for me that would be great!

 

Next is this Boots Botanics Rosewater Toning Spritz. I've had this product for months and have only just finished it. I use this product twice a day, once after I've exfoliated In the morning, and at night after I've took off my make-up and cleansed my skin. I really enjoy using this product and I feel like it really does freshen my skin and cleanse any remaining impurities. I would definitely repurchase this again. I featured this product in my skincare routine post which you can see here.

 

Next up is this Simple Spotless Skin Rapid Action Spot Zapper - phew! What a mouthful. I talk about this product quite frequently on my blog. I've gone through many tubes of this. It helps to gradually get rid of my blemishes without trying out my skin or irritating it. Simple is a great brand and I highly recommend them.

 

Next up is something that's quite dull however I thought I'd feature it anyway. I finished this pack of 100% Pure Cotton Wool pads. Again, I go through loads of packets of cotton wool and will continue to purchase packets of it as they're handy to use when taking off your makeup.

 



Finally the last item I have to feature in my empties is this pack of Osiris Deep Cleansing facial wipes. I picked up 3 packs of these wipes for a £1 in Asda, a month or so back when I was picking up bits and bobs for my holiday to Zante. I've never heard of this brand before and if I'm honest, I don't know anything about them still. I don't think I'll be buying these wipes again however as I feel like they have irritated my skin. Although I'm not 100% sure, I do think these wipes may have been the culprit.


That's all for my first Empties post. I hope this has been somewhat interesting for you!

I hope you're all well.

Paige.
