October Favourites


I can't actually believe it's November already, it feels like it wasn't that long ago that I posted my September favourites! As much as I loved October because it was the start of Autumn, I'm so glad that it's now November. Only 16 days until I go away!


I'll start with my make up favourites for the month. The first is my Chanel Perfection Lumiere foundation. I had been using my Bobbi Brown one for ages, and I've started to use my Chanel one properly since this month. I had wanted a long lasting foundation as I hate when it melts off my face, and this does the job. If you want more of an in depth review on this foundation, just let me know! I wear the shade Beige Rose for anyone interested.

For nail polish, again, another Essie one. I actually love these! This shade is in jag-u-are and it's a lovely sparkly red, it reminds me of Dorothy's slippers from The Wizard of Oz. It reminds me of Christmas which is why I love it so much, and I really shouldn't be wearing it already but I'm too excited!

My favourite eye make up this month has been a Maybelline 24 Hour Colour Tattoo in the shade Pomegranate Punk. It's a lovely deep purple/rustic red colour that is perfect for this season. I've been wearing it with a few shades from my Urban Decay Naked Palette. I'm not even asking, I'll be putting up a Face of the Day with this look, hopefully soon!



I'm just going to call this part my 'Bath & Body Works favourites'. The UK seriously needs to get one of these stores as I actually love it so, so much.

My favourite candle came from the end of the month, and it's Pumpkin Cupcake. This was sent to me by Jessica at The Mod Mermaid as my surprise candle and she made a perfect choice! This scent is so, so divine, I actually just want to eat it. I last lit it yesterday, and I can still smell it today. Those mini candles have such staying power!

I love the anti bac's from this store, and I usually carry one in my pocket at work, and then another in my bag. Then I have a bag full of them in my room. The one I've been using mostly in the house is I Watermelon Cherry scent. I really don't even need to describe this scent, as it's in the name, and it's glorious.

For shower gel, I've been trying to use up anything that I've bought on other trips, so I bought Pink Sugarplum last year, and I decided I should use it before I go so I don't feel bad about buying more (not that I ever would anyway). This is such a nice, sweet smell, which I love for using at night.



Finally, a food favourite. Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. Why, why must you taste so good? These are so delicious. I've been quite late in the love for chocolate and peanut butter together, and have only really got the taste for it the last year or so I'd say, and I just can't stop buying these. I have to buy them every time I see them in a shop and I wish they were in a bigger packet!

What have your favourite's been during the month of October? Is there anything you'd like to know more about that I've mentioned in this post? Let me know!

The Price Of My Face.


I've saw a few people do this tag such as Jessica at The Mod Mermaid and have been so excited to do it for ages. I would have done it a few weeks ago but I had some new items planned for purchase and wanted to wait until I'd tried and used them to see if they were going to be some new additions!



Firstly I'll start with my face make up. A recent addition was this Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream which I use in the lightest shade. It's more of a tinted moisturiser than anything and I find it really good for a foundation base.

The foundation I'm currently using is the Bobbi Brown Foundation Stick in 00 - Alabaster (again, the lightest shade).

The concealer I recently purchased (and adore) is the MAC Pro Longwear Concealer in NC 15.


Next is my eye make up. I use my Naked palette by Urban Decay every single day and I think it might be one of the best purchases I've made, make up wise.

For my eyeliner I use Ink for Eyes, also by Urban Decay in Zero.

My mascara is FAIRYDROPS. The one in the photo above is the mini one, but I have the full sized one which I've started to use since taking this photo so I'll be using the price for the full sized product.

My eyebrow pencil is the Artists Eye Pencil by Estee Lauder in 02 Soft Smudge Brown.


I'm putting two for this even though I don't use them together. I reapply lip balm approx. every hour so it most definitely had to be included. I'm currently using the Maybelline Baby Lips lip balm in Cherry Me.

My everyday lip colour is a Revlon Lip Butter which I use mostly in 050 - Berry Smoothie.

I'll be putting the prices in dollars since I have a lot of readers who use this currency, and also because the FAIRYDROPS mascara is US only. Then I'll show the current exchange rate! Now for the scary part...

  • Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream - $7.44
  • Bobbi Brown Foundation Stick - $42.00
  • MAC Pro Longwear Concealer - $18.00
  • Naked Palette by Urban Decay - $50.00
  • Ink For Eyes by Urban Decay - $23.50
  • FAIRYDROPS - $24.00
  • Artists Eye Pencil by Estee Lauder - $25.00
  • Maybelline Baby Lips - $2.99
  • Revlon Lip Butter - $6.49
Total - $199.42

Total (In pounds sterling going by today's exchange rate) - £131.58

Um, what? Excuse me! Looking at the photograph that I showed at the start you would most definitely not think that these few things cost this much money! It's hard to believe how much money I carry around on my face everyday.

I tag everyone to do this post as I'm very curious now as to how much other people wear on their face everyday!

Foundation Brush Help!

Hey everyone, just a quick little post looking for some advice on a foundation brush? I'm thinking of getting one whilst in town tomorrow but I don't know what to go for. I had a really good one that I bought in Sephora and somehow managed to ruin, and since we don't have Sephora here, I can't replace it. Everyone goes on about MAC brushes so I was thinking about just getting one of those, but I wanted to see if anyone had one that they absolutely loved and wanted to share with me?

Thanks! :)
