October Favourites

I've never done a favourites post before as I usually just use the same things over and over. However, last month I discovered a few new products so I thought I'd share them with you. I'll  try to make this into a monthly feature but I can't promise anything.

MAC Fix+
I picked up the travel size (30ml) version of this on a whim a couple of months ago as I wasn't sure if I'd like it. I've been using it after applying my powder, just to take away any powdery cakeyness and I love it! I wouldn't say that it does anything to help my make up to stay on, but I love the dewy finish that it gives. It's definitely something I'd buy again.

The Body Shop Vanilla Perfume
My boyfriend bought me this for Valentine's Day last year and I used to wear it everyday, however it started to run out so I stopped using it. I managed to pick up another bottle recently for half price (£4.50 down from £9) so I've found myself using this everyday again. I love anything that smells like vanilla and this is a great daytime perfume as it's not too overpowering. I'm going to have to get myself a couple more bottles before they sell out!

MUA Trio Eyeshadow Palette in Innocence
I've had this for a while, but it's only recently that I've started to use it everyday. I don't know where I'd be without it now! The colours are great for an everyday subtle smokey eye look. I prefer this to my undressed palette as I often struggle to pick three colours that go well together. I really want to try the other ones in the range now.

The Body Shop Pink Grapefruit Hand Cleanse Gel
I always like to have hand gel in my handbag but I've been getting bored of the usual 'clean' smells that they usually come in. I love the scent of this one and I've had loads of compliments on it when I've used it at work. You can pick it up here.

Barry M Gelly Nail Polish in Pomegranate
I was desperate to try one of these gelly nail polishes to see what all the fuss was about and I'm so glad I did! This polish is near enough opaque in just one coat and is super glossy. I put on two coats and it lasted six days before I got any noticeable chipping! I definitely want to try the rest of the range.

Nixoderm
I'm not sure where I heard of this stuff, but it's amazing for blemishes. I'll be writing a proper review of it soon but I definitely recommend it. It only costs £1.98 from eBay and you can pick it up here.

MAC Up The Amp
Another product that I picked up on a whim. I got this just before a night out with my friend Hannah and I wasn't sure on it at first. It's a blue toned purple which I wouldn't usually go for but I find it looks great as long as the rest of the make up that I wear is quite warm toned. I usually apply this over a lip balm for a lighter wash of colour.

Rimmel Scandaleyes Nude Eyeliner
I heard a lot about these eyeliners before they were released so I couldn't wait to get my hands on the nude one. I find that it really brightens and opens up my eyes when applied to the waterline. It's fantastic when you're tired!
