October Favorites!


I don't have many favorites this month. I've mostly been using the same products everyday. On an everyday basis I don't wear much makeup but I always wear some type of face makeup. This month I've been loving the Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum foundation. It's easy to apply. I either use a brush or my beauty blender. If I'm in a hurry I'll even use my fingers. It blends easily and feels light on the skin. I'd say it gives medium coverage so it's perfect for everyday wear. It's also long lasting. I love it. Lately I've been getting an oily t-zone so it has become essential for me to set my foundation with powder. I've been using the Rimmel Stay Matte powder in the translucent shade. I've been using it for over a year and it gets the job done. It's not my favorite but I do like it. I finally hit pan on it this month. For nails I've worn nails inc. Jermyn Street a lot. I'm just obsessed with this color. It's a really nice greige. Two coats are required, sometimes you might be able to get away with one coat but I think two is better. I finally found NYX lipgloss! The closest Target from my house finally opened this month and I was so glad to see that they have some NYX products. I got the NYX Mega Shine lip gloss in Beige. It was the last one on the shelf and I understand why. All the hype about this product is true. The color is a gorgeous pink, it's extremely pigmented, glides on the lips and smells like bubble gum. The packaging is adorable because there's a bow on top of the wand. This is currently my favorite lip gloss of all time.
