So for the month of October there are SO many products I've been loving. I noticed myself coming back to the same few products over and over again, and seeing as I'm still not very confident in regards to making videos, I thought I'd put them all in a blog post for you!
So I'll insert pictures of the products and give you a description as to why I like them! Here we go.
1. De Lorenzo Nova Fusion Intense "Red"
So if you guys don't know, I have a reverse ombre hair colour going on right now. Typically an ombre hairstyle is dark on the top fading to a lighter colour at the bottom. In my case, I have red on the top which fades in to my natural dark brown, almost black hair colour. Now, if any of you have ever had red hair, you'll know how much of a bitch it is to maintain. When I first got it done, I was so lazy with it, and then I discovered this product. If you don't know what it is, it's a colour shampoo that actually has dye in it. You can get it in pretty much any colour like blonde, silver, pink, orange etc. Obviously seeing as my hair is red, I got the red one. This was the brightest colours out of all the red ones available. This product is only to be used once a week, and it's used just like a normal shampoo. Accompanied with my John Frieda Radiant Red shampoo, it helps keep my red looking vibrant and fresh. This is pretty much a holy grail product for me, I love it!!
If you haven't heard of La Roche Posay, they are a make up and skin care brand catering to people with sensitive skin. They do things like sunscreens, toners and cleansers, creams and make up, but my favourite product thus far is the Thermal Spring Water. This is a soothing water that can help ease the skin from outside factors such as sun, allergies, etc. I suffer really bad with allergies and sinus problems so this product helps me so much with it. When I'm having a particularly bad allergy attack or if I just need a refresher, I just spray some of this on my face and the affect is instantaneous. If you have sensitive skin and haven't heard of La Roche Posay then I highly recommend you go check them out!
3. Katy Perry "Killer Queen" EDP.
So in my recent shopping trip to Sydney, I picked up the new Katy Perry perfume from Myer. What immediately drew me in was that you got a free bag with it. Then I sprayed it on myself and was a bit like "ehhhhhhhhh" but after wearing it for even just 10 minutes more, I was hooked on the scent. It's a very sweet and fruity scent which lingers on the skin all day. If you haven't smelled this, then I highly suggest you do. If you like sweet and fruity scents then you won't be disappointed!
4. Nail wraps.
Nails wraps are one of my new favourite things! I don't really have a specific brand that I love. I just go for the ones that look cool and cute. I do get acrylics on my fingernails so I love putting these bad boys on my toes. They're such a quick, easy and cheap long lasting pedicure. Even the cheaper ones last up to 2 weeks and the higher end ones can last for up to a month. Now that summers looming closer, it's essential to keep your toenails looking cute and these are a great low maintenance options for those (like me) who don't have the time or patience to paint their toenails!
Now if you've ever watched beauty gurus on youtube, you'll have seen this product talked about and raved about and fawned over to no end. The reason for all the hype around it is because it's truly that. damn. good. When this product finally hit Australian stores I could not be more excited. As the name suggests, it's a 3 in 1 foundation so it's a primer, concealer and foundation all in one. It lasts LITERALLY all day and when I use it, I generally get a matte finish, but if I find it's looking a bit more satin-y, I just use a powder and I'm good to go. I would say it's a medium coverage foundation but it's definitely buildable without it looking too cakey. It lasts through sweat and rubbing it and all day at work. I get oily in my T-Zone but I find myself not even needing to powder or blot when using this foundation. It's a good all around product which is suitable for anyone with any skin type.
6. Benefit Boi-ing concealer.
This is another product that has been raved and raved about on youtube, and again, if you ever actually try this product it'll be easy to see why. I mainly use this concealer to cover up and brighten up my under eye area, and it does a great job. It also works just as well on blemishes and discolouration and it is another holy grail product.
7. Elf "Eye Manual" palette.
I picked this up when I was doing a little bit of online shopping. It was only $7 and I could not be more glad I did! I'm really big on gold and bronze eyeshadow lately so it was worth it buying this just to use the colours on the top row. The pigmentation on these colours vary - like the bronzey, gold colours are very true to what they look like in the pan, but the blacks and purples are a little more sheer, but nevertheless still a nice colour. There are so many looks you can create with this palette and for less than $10, you can't go wrong!
8. Urban Decay Naked Basics palette.
So apparently I forgot to take a picture of the actual colours of this palette which is probably the most important thing, so this is a picture I got off google of the colours in this little palette.
There are 6 colours, 5 matte and one shimmery. While this palette doesn't really look like much, if you need a quick, on the go look or a neutral look or a daytime look or a night time look, you can't go wrong with this palette. You can easily use the colors like foxy, W.O.S and naked 2 to create a simply neutral look, and then smoke it out by using faint or crave. There are just so many possible looks you can do this this palette, and it's so easy and simply for either beginners or experienced make up artists. I've been reaching for this a lot this past month.
9. Tresemme thermal creations heat tamer protective spray.
Yet again, this is another "youtube made me buy it" type product. And yet again, it is definitely worth the hype around it. I've tried a fair few heat protective sprays, but I haven't yet found one that I've been able to stick with. This one is great. Its fairly light, but it smells good and I find that when I use it before using my waver or hair straightener, I don't get as much of a "burnt hair" smell or feel to it. It's a great, drugstore priced product.
10. Soap and Glory "Hand Food"
I heard a lot of British youtubers mention this product like Zoella and Tanya Burr, and I decided to check it out. I'm one of those people who often forgets to moisturise, but when I do I always reach for this bad boy. It's a non-greasy hand cream, which I love, and it always makes my hands smell and feel amazing.
11. MAC "Saint Germain" lipstick
It's spring time here in Australia, and this bright, pale pink lipstick is absolutely perfect coming up into the warmer months! It's so bright and fun, and lasts all day.
My boyfriend bought me this absolutely adorable pink octopus plus, and I love it so much! It's the cutest thing I've ever seen!
Also on my playlist for the month was the new album by Miley Cyrus - Bangerz. If you haven't heard it, I highly recommend you go give it a listen. I personally am LOVING the new Miley!
That's all for this month guys! Thanks for reading!
