Anyways, today I bring you my October playlist, and also my very small collection of favorites for this month.
I'll first talk about makeup/skincare:
- I decided to splurge a little, and I bought the Lancome Hypnose Custom Volume Mascara. This is supposed to give you lots of volume without all of the clumps or flaking, and it definitely does that! This is the mascara I've been reaching for the most this month, and my wallet will be crying when I need to re-purchase this (it's $27.50 at Sephora), because I definitely will! I've been thinking about getting one in brown as well.
- The eyeliner I've been using *almost* every day has been Colourpop's Creme Gel Pencil in the color Mr. Bing. I'm 90% sure that this is part of a collab with KathleenLights on Youtube. And it's GORGEOUS. It's kind of hard to describe the color, but the website says that it's a "rich warm brown in a matte finish." I just think that any sort of brown makes my blue eyes look amazing, and this eyeliner is no exception.
- So the skincare line Drunk Elephant has been SO HYPED EVERYWHERE that I was a little hesitant to try it out, but I love the 2 products I bought and am most definitely going to be buying more. I use the JuJu Bar in the morning; I would have taken a picture of it but it doesn't look all that pretty anymore :( . It's a really gentle exfoliating bar, which is great for my somewhat sensitive skin. I've noticed that I haven't been getting any sort of acne since I've started using this (usually I get about a pimple a week), so that's AMAZING. I also got their Umbra Sheer Physical Defense sunscreen. The reviews on Sephora were not particularly great, but I decided to get it anyway. And it's a huge tube! For some reason I thought it was going to be a lot smaller, so that was nice. I use this every morning on my face, neck, and hands, and so far I've really liked it. It sinks in nicely, has an SPF of 30 (yay!), and doesn't pill on my skin like some of the reviews said. Even with the hype, I HIGHLY recommend this brand.
Now onto other things:
- Bath and Body Work's candles. I just. They're so wonderful. I've really been loving the Autumn one (I started using it about 2 weeks ago - that was still in October!). I should check to see if the same scent comes in the little car things, because I would be ALL OVER THAT. The bottom of the candle says that the fragrance notes are: bright red gala apple, juicy fig, eucalyptus leaf, and fir balsam. I can really smell the apple and fir balsam, which I think makes this scent so good for later Autumn - it still smells like Fall but it has a hint of Christmas time in there, so you get excited for the holidays. What am I talking about. I'm ALWAYS excited for Christmas.
- The other thing I've recently been loving is bullet journaling. I'm not really ready to show exactly what it looks like on the inside; I'm not exactly what you would call an 'artist'. But it's actually helping me get organized, and gives me a chance to bring out my more creative side. Maybe I'll do a bullet journal 'tour' when I feel comfortable enough to show it!
And that's all! Not a lot of favorites this time, but I absolutely love everything I mentioned!
