October has been a really busy month for me, however in the midst of the chaos it was these products I kept returning to.

Maybelline 'The Nudes' Palette

I am completely in love with this eyeshadow palette, any neutral eyeshadow lovers out there this one is definitely for you! It has every single neutral shade you could possibly want to wear and all of them are so pigmented, and its a bargain for £9.99 from Boots.

Illamasqua Cream Pigment in 'Hollow'

I've had this a while now and I can't believe I've never mentioned it on this blog. Its a cream product that I use as a contour, the colour is an ashy pale brown, the perfect contour colour for us pale skinned girls. It's a little pricey but definitely worth the money in my opinion.

John Frieda Sea Salt Waves Spray
I mentioned this product in my Hair Essentials post (here) and I have been loving it this month. This month has been such a lazy hair month for me and I've literally been washing my hair and then spraying this through and leaving it to dry naturally. Such an easy hairstyle!

Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara
I've always been a massive fan of Maybelline The Falsies mascara, but when I went into Boots about a month ago they didn't have the waterproof black one that I usually buy, so instead I decided to give this one a try. I really like it, its much more volumnising than The Falsies but I find that they are actually a really good combination. I use The Falsies to separate my lashes and provide definition and then Lash Sensational to add volume.

Boots 2 Pack Tweezers
I know that tweezers are a slightly odd thing to include in your monthly favourites but I recently rediscovered these and they are seriously some of the best tweezers I've tried for the price. I think they are around £8.99 (I couldn't find them online) which for 2 pairs of tweezers is a bargain. The precision tweezers are so good for grabbing those tiny annoying hairs! Definitely worth checking these out.

So my January favourites are a little late but better late than never eh! January has been mostly filled with new favourites with just having had Christmas and my birthday but there are a couple of old favourites too.

Chanel Chance

This has definitely got to be my all time favourite perfume! I ask for a bottle every year and it tends to last me a year if I'm careful with it haha. I am hopeless at describing perfumes so I'll tell you what Chanel says: notes of White Musk, Hyacinth and Citron, Pink Pepper, Jasmine, Fresh Vetiver, Orris Absolute and Amber Patchouli. I would highly recommend going and giving this a sniff because it is beautiful!

Rimmel ScandalEyes Shadow Stick in Bad Girl Bronze

I wear the Bulletproof Beige shade of this virtually daily but I decided to pick this up this month and have been loving using as a base for a smoky eye. Not quite as long lasting as the Bulletproof Beige shade but it is a gorgeous colour.

Revlon ColorBurst Matte Balms in Complex and Standout

I have been seeing reviews for these everywhere and having loved the Kissable Balm Stains by Revlon I was determined to try these. Complex is a really nice brown nude colour and Standout is a dark cherry red. They go on really nicely and aren't too drying for a matte balm either!

Mac Eyeshadow Quad - Era, Sable, Antiqued, Brun

I am a huge fan of Mac eyeshadows and I'm slowly building up my collection. I got these four for christmas and have been wearing them virtually daily since. Era is probably my favourite because it is just so simple to wear everyday and not too shimmery. Sable is a beautiful pinky shade, Antiqued is a burnt rust colour and Brun is a matte black brown shade.

NYX High Definition Eyeshadow Base

I needed a new eyeshadow base and after reading a few reviews I went for this one. It basically does what it says on the tin, my eyeshadow does not budge!

Revlon Nearly Naked Foundation in Vanilla

I tried this foundation before and really liked it however I just got the wrong shade. This shade matches with my skin pretty perfectly and is a great mixer or on its own as a really light foundation.

Maybelline SuperStay Gel Nail Polish in Midnight Red

I love my burgundy nail polishes and the formula of this one is amazing. Easily lasts a whole week on my nails too which is a massive bonus when I'm busy.

Bourjois Bronzing Primer

I've had this on my wishlist for ages and now I've finally got it I am not disappointed. I use it as a cream bronzer and it is gorgeous. Its got a really nice moussey texture, it blends really well and basically gives the impression that I've spent two weeks in the sun! I love it!

Its been so long since I've done a favourites post. Because I've been away a lot over the summer I hardly bought any new beauty products and so my favourites posts would have been very boring and tedious. However there has been some nice new additions this month so I thought I'd share them with you guys.

Urban Decay 24/7 Shadow Stick in Demolition

This isn't actually a new addition but it is probably one of my favourite products at the moment. Being back at university, I've been going out a lot and this shadow stick is so quick and easy to use. This has definitely helped me master the art of getting ready to go out quickly! I tend to use this like an eyeliner and then smudge it out before applying an eyeshadow over the top!

Pearl Drops Beauty Sleep Serum

I've always thought my teeth are pretty yellow, I brush them twice a day however I think they naturally have a yellowish tinge to them. I thought I'd try this serum which you basically rub over your teeth at night and then go to sleep. Although it hasn't made a huge difference (at £3.49 I wasn't expecting one) it has definitely brightened my teeth!

Mac Eyeshadows in Patina and Soba

I had a Debenhams gift ard and so thought I'd treat myself to some more Mac eyeshadows. Patina is a gorgeous muted gold, not too shimmery so perfect for daytime use. Soba is a gold-y brown colour that looks stunning over the lid and blend underneath too, perfect for a daytime smokey eye!

L'Oreal EverSleek No Sulphates Shampoo

There has been so much hype over the new L'Oreal range and after trying two samples I knew I had to buy a full bottle. It just leaves my hair so smooth and cleansed. Definitely worth a try despite the slightly more expensive price tag.

Maybelline Color Show Nail Polish in Burgundy Kiss

Its that time of year where I find myself reaching for all the vampy nail colours. I love this burgundy colour that is verging on the side of black!

Maybelline The Falsies Mascara

I wore this mascara non stop over the summer and have sort of just carried on wearing it. The brush gives my lashes a really full and voluminous effect. Definitely a firm favourite!

Rimmel Stay Matte Foundation

At first I wasn't sure about this new foundation from Rimmel however I've grown to love it. I plan on doing a full review but basically its a moussey foundation that is meant to give a mattified effect. This sits on my skin really nicely and although it doesn't keep shine at bay for a whole day it only needs powdering once throughout the day!

Whats been your favourite this month?
