October favourites!

One:

 At the beginning of October I invested in the Revlon 24hr Colorstay foundation, and am so glad that I did. It works great for my oily skin, yet doesn't make my face feel dry and the coverage is brilliant. For my birthday this month I was given the present of the Au Naturel pallette by my friend, and it's just got the nicest tones for when I'm out and about. I've been getting so much use out of my face brush from Real Techniques as well, and is definitely something I'll be using all year round - not just October.

Two:

 I bought these earrings from Topshop on a whim towards the end of September, and they've almost never left my ears since. I think black and gold accessories work well to really pull an outfit together, and suit just about everything.

Three:

I bought these shoes for £20 in the River Island sale during the summer, and spent two months waiting and waiting for the colder weather so I could finally wear them. They go with just about everything, and can really give an otherwise run-of-the-mill outfit a vintage twist.







Four:

As the weather gets colder my hands and lips tend to dry up a little, so this nourishing hand cream from Nivea and the lip butters from Body Shop are perfect to carry round with me in my bag on a daily basis. As I'm back at college now, I tend to spend the time I need to do my hair in bed, so the texturising spray from VO5 is a great product to use in order scrunch up my hair and give it that 'just rolled out of bed' look (which wouldn't be a lie). The Body Shop Voyage Collection of fragrances have also been my favourite scents this month; and they last a while too!

Five:

My last favourite of the month isn't beauty/fashion related, but is in fact The Fault In Our Stars written by the wonderful John Green. Having heard about it all over the internet, I decided to pick up a copy myself. I'm afraid I'm not able to say that I'm entirely happy that I did, as it the ending did result in crying myself to sleep and spending the next day or so with a hollow feeling in my stomach, but despite all that it's just a wonderful experience. The sharpness of the wit, and just everything about it makes it one of the most real experiences I have ever had with fiction.
