October Favourites

I cannot believe that it is November already, where has this year gone!!? I am going to hold my hands up and admit to not having done a monthly favourites post in what seems like eternity, oops! Anyway October was a month of finding bargains, getting beauty boxes and shopping my stash! These favourites might all seem a little random but I'm broadening my horizons and trying new things...woohooo!



Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish (limited edition for the Princes trust)- Rose and Lavender
I have resisted the temptation to try this product for a VERY long time. I always try very hard not to give in to the hype, but I have finally succumbed. I initially tried the starter set and loved it so much that I ended up buying the full size. Its quite simply the easiest possible way to remove my makeup and I love it! I only use this in the evening and Istill use my PRIORI cleanser in the morning. 

Macadamia: Healing oil treatment. 
I had no intention of trying this range for a very long time as it seemed very expensive but whilst pursing my local TK Maxx I saw this and the 'Deep Repair Masque' for a fraction of the price and I simply couldn't resist. The healing oil cost £14.99 instead of £29.99, what a bargain! I really love this product. It leaves my hair feeling so soft and smooth and I feel like its really helping my dry,  straw like, yucky hair. 

Macadamia Deep Repair Masque.
Again another awesome TK Maxx find, I think I got this for £12.99 or there abouts. I use this at least once a week and leave it on for about an hour. My hair always feels amazing afterwards! I am keeping my eyes peeled for the shampoo and conditioner in this range as I have seen it in TK Maxx before, but had no money boooohoooo!

Balmi
Not too much to say about this except I really, really like it. It leaves my lips feeling really soft and moisturised and leaves a lovely frosty, natural look to my lips. I got this in a beauty box, but I know you can buy it in Boots in the UK.

Anais Anais perfume
So I will be the first to admit I used to think of this as an old lady scent (mainly because I swear some older members of my family used to wear it). However whilst having a good look through the perfume section in Superdrug a while ago I smelt this and it brought back so many memories! I immediately snapped it up and it helped that it was on offer. 

Mavala Switzerland Eye-Lite
As many of you know, I live in the middle of no where! So when my trusty M.A.C fling pencil ran out I nearly cried my little heart out. However I decided to use it as an opportunity to try a new eye brow pencil. My local Lloyds stocks MAVALA products so I decided to give there one a go. I really like it, it has a slightly waxy texture but with the help of the spooly on the end it creates really natural brows and at a fraction of the cost.

M.A.C Oak lip liner
I have had this quite a while but rediscovered it after sifting through my makeup collection. I had forgotten how much a loved it and how much difference a lip liner makes. This is a lovely soft, light brown which looks lovely under so many colours.
