I literally cannot believe we are at the end of October already! The weeks seem to have just flown by but on a plus side it means that Style Me Curvy Christmas will be landing on the blog in just a few short weeks! I loved receiving all of your emails over it after last year so be sure to drop me an email or leave me a comment on Instagram / Facebook if you have any specific requests! For today’s post I’ve put together my October beauty favourites which I hope you will love as much as I do!
Sally Hansen: Wine Not
If you follow me on Instagram you might have seen some snaps of my adoration for this nail varnish. Burgundy is always a wonderful colour choice for autumnal nails but I loved how this gives such a great glossy shine effect staying true to it’s ‘Salon Manicure’ label. It has a beautiful strong burgundy finish but with a twist with thanks to it’s barely there glitter pigment. I did find I needed to accompany this with a top coat and once I did, I got a full week before any chipping began to arise.
Shade: Wine Not
Where to find? Boots, Lloyds pharmacies, most online beauty stores.
MAC Powder Blush: Shade Margin Frost
When I was getting my makeup done in Mac last month this is one of the blushers they happened to use. It gave an instant lift to my complexion so needless to say I added it to my makeup basket very quickly! This blusher essentially kills two birds with one stone offering a luscious sun kissed bronzed glow with the slighted rose effect. I use it as an eyeshadow also and its longevity throughout the day is definitely worth every penny for €20.
Shade: Margin Frost
Where to find?: All Mac makeup stores, Brown Thomas, Selfridges, Barneys N.Y.C etc.
Vichy Idealia Skin Sleep:
You might have remembered my feature on this beauty back in August (blog post here) where I had just been trying it out for a few weeks. Vichy Idealia Skin Sleep is still so high up on my beauty list, so much so, that if I’ve forgotten to use it my skin tells me loud and clear. You’ll notice your pores will be minimised and it helps to give more of a plumped effect to the skin – i.e making you look like you’ve had bundles of sleep even if you’re surviving on coffee!Hurray! Where to find? Practically all pharmacies and online beauty websites.
Sanctuary body kit
I’ve always been a fan of Sanctuary products, particularly their body scrubs, and this set is one I’m sure you will all love. Recently my mum bought me this gift set for my Birthday and I’ve used it so much ever since. The set includes a waterproof beauty bag, a body scrub 200ml, a body wash 250ml and their noteworthy body lotion 250ml, all for €23.99. It’s something which will last quite a long time and really gives you that ‘at home Spa’ feel. Where to find? Boots stores , Littlewood Ireland and Very.co.uk. Lou. xx
