October favs!!!

This month has been busy, doing my GCSEs but also getting a week off for half term, most of which I've spent with a cold. I've already started preparing my Christmas list, because I'm one of the most difficult people to buy for (I'm mainly asking for makeup this year lol). Anyway\y, lets get into what products I have enjoyed using in October.

The first two products are both from the same brand "beauty formulas" and one is a clay mask, the other is their detoxifying mask. They both have activated charcoal and are really good for your skin. They are only £1 each and I found them in savers, I haven't seen them anywhere else. I have really enjoyed using them, afterwards my skin feels super soft and they seem to be helping with my spots.

I have been using the simple kind to skin hydrating moisturiser for a while now. At first I thought it was just an average boring moisturiser, which didn't do much. However, now it works really well, it just took a bit of getting used to. Now when I use it, it makes my skin feel really nice and it doesn't hydrate too much (it is a light moisturiser) which is good because of my oily skin.

A shampoo I have loved recently is the Schwarzkopf Gliss shampoo (the purple one), which helps volumises and strengthen thin and fragile hair. I would 100% recommend this and it really saved my hair, which was dry and flat. Now I have a decent amount of volume and is also made it shiny, in general it made my hair healthy.

Now we are in autumn, which is the prime time for a dark lip. I have quite a few and like them all but a few have been standing out from the rest. One is them is the Barry M core balmy in "current bun" which is a tinted lip balm  with a decent amount of pigment and an amazing smell. It smells like berries and it brings the best of both worlds: the moisturising centre helps with chapped lips in the colder months and the colour has a really strong pigment, it looks like a slightly sheer lipstick. However if you use a lip liner you can't tell it isn't a lipstick. It also wears evenly and I've had it for a while, it hasn't disappointed me yet.

A newer autumn lip colour that I've been loving is by essence. It is the matt matt matt long lasting lipgloss in the shade "03 girl of today" which is a dark pink colour. The thing I find weird though, is that it doesn't dry matte. It has a glossy finish but feels a bit drying, so that is quite unusual. Despite that I've worn it a few times and have enjoyed it, so will keep testing it out a bit more. It was only £2.30 so I might pick up a few more shades from the collection.
