October Favourites

Palmers Cocoa Butter Formula - If you're like me and suffer from horribly dry hands/skin when the weather starts getting cooler, this stuff is a god send! Its a perfect size to keep in your bag and you only need the tiniest amount to soak in and take away any dryness. Plus it smells like cocoa butter which instantly reminds me of summer time and the beach! I bought this in Penneys for a couple of euro near the start of summer and I still haven't finished it! A little goes a long way with this moisturiser. 

Barry M Nail Polish in Teal & Rimmel Nail Polish in Urban Purple - It was so so hard deciding on one colour that was my favourite this month so I picked two. I love this teal green shade on my nails and I've gotten a few compliments on it too! Rimmels Urban Purple was my favourite go-to autumn/winter shade last year and its slowly creeping in and becoming my favourite again this year. I'm pretty sure they've brought this shade out in the Kate Moss range now and not the Lycra Pro so its a different bottle in some stores but its the same deep reddish purple shade which looks so nice on and goes with pretty much anything! (Or if you wear a lot of black like me)

Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation in 100 Ivory - Don't you just love when you buy a foundation and it does everything its supposed to? After being a huge lover of Rimmels Wake Me Up foundation, once it ran out on me I wanted a change. Not for any reason I just change up my foundation from time to time, there are always new ones to be discovered! I chose this after testing a few and low and behold a new favourite was created. I'm wearing this daily to college and out and about. I find it has much better staying power than Wake Me Up has. It also matches my skin a bit better now that I'm a bit paler (that's a sure sign winter is coming) I'm just ultimately thrilled with this as a foundation, for a tenner I cannot fault it at all.

Boots Tea Tree & Witch Hazel Concealer - This is a lifesaver for me when I get the odd spot. I don't get spots a lot, thankfully. But when I do they're huge, red and take over my face. I don't like putting makeup directly onto spots (who does really?) but if I'm wearing makeup that day I have to, I cant go around with it just there on my face. This is where this little beauty comes in, with the tea tree and witch hazel it soothes and reduces redness of my spot (or spots!) and within a day or two the spot is completely gone. I don't feel guilty about wearing makeup then because this is working its magic underneath it, yay!
