October Favourites

četrtek, oktober 31, 2013

I'm digging the dark lips look at the moment and I wore this burgundy lip colour either as a stain, full-on or something in between on most days since I got it. It's quite a statement shade, but I think it really suits my colouring and more importantly it makes me feel that little bit better when I wear it. It has one of the most comfortable matte formulas I've tried, though the staying power could be a bit better. I still need to find a lip liner that works with this shade because it is a difficult colour to apply straight from the tube.

Urban Decay Naked Basics palette

I'm not much of an eyeshadow person, but I used it every single day since I got it and I actually use every colour in this palette which is unheard of for a two-tops-eyeshadow-girl like me. It's such a gorgeous combination of matte shades that are great quality and can be used for natural, everyday look or a more intense, smokey eye. If I would be allowed to own only one eyeshadow palette, this would be it. I haven't posted a full review yet, but it should be up soon.

The Body Shop Honeymania Body Butter

This is one of the best body butters I've tried in terms of texture: it's properly buttery, not too hard, easy to apply, not too greasy and deeply moisturising. The scent is an interesting and nicely blended mix of soft honey note with a fresh wildflowers scent, which at times I absolutely love and then sometimes I'm less enthusiastic about it, but the quality of the body butter is undeniably fantastic.

Essence Stay Matte Lip Cream 02 Smooth Berry

I've gushed enough about this shade and Essence's lip creams in my product of the week post, but in short: it's super pigmented, lasts amazingly well on the lips, smells nice and the colour is gorgeous. Pure love.

Bourjois Cream Blush 01 Nude Velvet

Quite a recent addition, but it's pretty damn good. My favourite cream blush so far was Maybelline's Dream Touch blush and Bourjois version feels very, very similar, but slightly more siliconey and in a more practical packaging. Full review will follow.

Rimmel Match Perfection Concealer

It's one of my favourite concealers, especially for the under eye area. It's been in my collection for a while and I admit I've been neglecting it since I discovered Maybelline's the Eraser. Though it might not be as good as Maybeline's, I still rate it very high, especially because it has quite a lot of coverage and is slightly illuminating.

Can Can eau de parfum by Paris Hilton

This is such a sweet syrupy scent, yet so cozy and warm. Can Can is like a more grown up version of Fantasy that is still girly, but without notes of vanilla or chocolate. I love wearing this is the autumn, it just fits into this season so well. If you like sweet scents that don't break the bank, give it a sniff (it's not available in Slovenia as far as I know).

Have a great day and happy Halloween!
