What I'm going to be sharing with you guys today is my OCTOBER FAVOURITES! A few lip products, a few foundations, bronzers, blushes, etc... thankfully this month has been pretty tame for me in what I've been obsessing over but I'll just stop talking now and let you guys check it out for yourselves :)
Octobers Beauties
Foundations...
L'Oreal Paris Magic Nude Liquid Powder
what I love most about this foundation: It glides on smooth and silky and feels weightless on the skin. The consistency is different, you have to shake the bottle really well before use, then I just apply it to the back of my hand but be very careful as this comes out more 'watery' and can create a big mess if you aren't prepared. I just dapped it onto my face and then used my damp beauty blender to blend it out. This foundation is my 'every day' favourite, it has buildable medium coverage and wears well throughout the day.
Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation
what I love most about this foundation: Am I allowed to say everything? I was almost nervous to finally purchase this beautiful product on my trip to Vegas after reading countless rave reviews, but with the pricey price tag I feared once it was mine I would not be able to live without it again... and yep, that happened! Not only does it apply really smoothy and seamlessly, it's long wearing and it really gives you that 'luminous' glow.
Bronzers & Blushes...
Milani Baked Bronzer in Glow
what I love about this bronzer: The subtle glow and bronze it gives off is so great for every day wear. It's applies easily and gives you a beautiful sun kissed glow.
Mac Cosmetics Gingerly Blush
what I love about this blush: It looks good with so many different make up looks, whether you're going with a strong look or something more soft, this shade (darker peachy matte) is great. I always find myself grabbing for it on days where I'm in a rush! It wears really nicely without any bronzer and gives my face a nice lift. The colour payoff stays strong for about 4-5 hours without applying any touch ups.
Sonia Kashuk Sunset Blush
what I love about this blush: One of my most favourite blushes that I've ever owned! I wear this so frequently it probably wouldn't even matter if I didn't own any others this one would make me happy all the time. It's a beautiful orangey peachy with just a touch of shimmer. It's long wearing and has such gorgeous colour pay off. This beauty is one I will always be repurchasing.
Eyebrows...
Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade
what I love about this: One word- Bulletproof. This creamy brow pomade does not budge. It took me a few tries to get the technique right after years of using her Brow Wiz pencil, but with a small angled brush, a light hand and easy product, you can really make your eyebrows look flawless. You can go with from a light fill in to a really structured intense brow and that's another thing I love about this. Totally versatile and it comes in tons of shades!
Anastasia Beverly Hills Clear Brow Gel
what I love about this: it does an amazing job at locking in and taming all my crazy stray eyebrow hairs. As I mentioned in my previous post, I'm in the process of growing out my eyebrows. Using a brow gel wasn't in my regular routine before this but now that I have some unruliness happening up there, this ensures everything locks into place. Just another brow product by this genius that hasn't failed me!
Eyes...
Too Faced Shadow Insurance Glitter Glue
what I love about this: it works so amazing with all those pesky glitters and pigments we love so much! It makes the colours look even more vibrant and beautiful and it keeps mostly any fall out from happening. Coming from a glitter girl, I have gone through many products to keep my pigments and glitter in place and none of them have done as good of a job as this bad boy!
Anastasia Beverly Hills Tamanna dressyourface Palette
what I love about this palette: I know I don't even need to get into this one because my past two blog posts I have been ranting and raving about this beauty. The shades are gorgeous, they are pigmented, they apply amazing, blend amazing, stay put... This palette is just a winner.
Lips...
Kat Von D Studded Kiss Lipstick in HellBent
what I love about this lipstick: the lasting quality. This lipstick is a really beautiful 'pin up' red shade, it goes on moisturizing but dries as a matte. I do find this drying on the lips but that's basically unavoidable for the most part when you have a matte lipstick. The colour is everything for me on this one. And the packaging. Ah, the packaging...
Kate Moss for Rimmel London 107
what I love about this lipstick: The price point. The raspberry matte shade this lipstick gives off is stunning. It's long wearing, again, it's drying. Definitely moisturize your lips before hand!
Yay my friends! We made it through another month. Thanks for reading and don't forget when I'm not here you can find me at: http://instagram.com/makeupbystevie
