October Favourites!

Hey guys! Hope you all are well :-) I thought I'd share my favourite products of the month seeing as we're into November already..... how scary is that! Slowly but surely, the winter is arriving here in Ireland ( today was a rotten day to say the least!)  so I thought now might be a good time to share good news. :-)

Recently I purchased the Sally Hansen Gel Effect nail varnish from Boots and loved the colour and longevity of the polish. It's in the shade 'Twiggy' and its perfect for the Autumn.

I've been mad into the whole Kylie Jenner  lip phenomenon and I have to say I keep reaching for NYX Thalia like no ones business. I think the staying power is unreal and compliments my skin tone pretty well. Thumbs up!

 

I have to admit lately I've been loving mixing foundations. My favourite of the moment has to be the Dior Star mixed with the Armani Luminous Silk. It's not necessary to mix your foundations but I have been loving it lately!

My favourite moisturizer of the moment is a variation of my favourite Embryolisse Lait Crème Concentrate. It's called the Lait Fluide- it's lighter and not as concentrated as the intense the crème. It's perfect to take off make-up with too! Multi-purpose!

And this little guy was a big help when my skin was problematic.......weird I know! It cleared up any acne quicker than the Roche Effaclar Duo which means it must be good. Strange..... suppose the spookiness comes with the month that it was! :-D

What are your top 5 things you couldn't live without this month?

Payday Purchases.....

Hey guys! Having said in my last post, I looked forward to payday this month as the wish list grew... along with wanting every single fashion posting on Facebook and Lookbook. Literally tormenting myself! So, when Friday came I hit Patrick Street like no tomorrow! There were some things that I felt I really wanted to try, the Dior Star, Black Opium by YSL amongst others. Soooo... I got the Dior Star in the shade 020 and I LOVE IT. I think it works best with the sponge, as seen in the promotion shots. Although, I find the Real Techniques sponge works just as well. With the 3 for 2 that is on in Boots more often it's better to pick that up then with other bits. The foundation gives a 'Hollywood' glow to the skin, it looks healthy and youthful. I usually need 2  pumps for medium to full coverage and I feel like I need less than that with the this one. It lasts the 15 hours just like the Estee Lauder Doublewear or MAC Studio Fix so that's after jogging all the way to the top of the favourites list quite quickly!

Along with the Black Opium, I wanted to get a perfume for daywear as well. I picked up my long time favourite Lady Million by Paco Robanne. I just can't get enough of this one. Debenhams had 10 % off in the Spectacular event last week, so when better to pick these up!

 

Then I stopped off in Sam McCauley's to see if there was anything that I fancied in NYX. I got the HD Concealer, Dewy Setting Spray and lipstick in Thalia.

I also felt my runners were hurting my feet so I got these beauties on sale in Chanpions Sports, well needed! ( They're in the model Honey Low) :-)

And lastly I got two kinda dressy pieces for upcoming events. The first was in River Island, what's new there. I've seen this one on So Sue Me's NYC post and thought it was gorgeous! If only I had long legs like Suzanne! But never the less I did like it on so I got it!

The second piece I got was a red dress from Missguided. I was unsure about this one, but ordered it anyway. I 'll have to see what it's like on but I love the shade of red that it is. What do you think?

That's what I got in a day..... and next month is a five weeker. WHY O WHY!!!!:-)
