Well here we are again... October Beauty Favourites!

So another month has gone by - so time for monthly beauty favourites again.

Lets just jump into it.

Hair and body


VO5 Plump it up Amplifying Blow Dry Lotion
I have a lot of hair, but it is this typical Scandinavian fine hair, so I can do with a bit of help in the volume department.
This is cheap and cheerful.
It doesn't perform miracles, but it does give my hair a bit of lift.
And I really like, that it doesn't make by hair crispy or sticky.

Garnier Ultimate Beauty Oil
A while back I raved about the Nuxe Dry Oil - I still have a whole box of samples back home in Denmark, but I didn't bring any with me.
After a month in the UK, I did feel like, I needed a body oil, and had heard good thing about this one.
It is very similar to the Nuxe one (also scent-wise), however I do feel, that this one leave the skin a bit more oily and doesn't sink in as quickly as the Nuxe one.
But if you are on a budget, this is a great alternative.

Make up


Body Shop Honey Bronzer in Fair Matte (02)
I have had this for quite a while, and actually always liked it, but it was never one, I picked up every day.
But recently I realised, that this is a great bronzer - especially if you have fair skin, and I have used it pretty much every day.
It is completely matte, but have a nice velvet texture and is very easy to blend.
It comes in several shades, so it should be possible to find the right one for you.

theBalm Mary-Lou Manizer
I love this highlighter - the best powder highlighter ever!
See my review here.

theBalm Cabanaboy Blush
This is the perfect autumn blush, and I love it in contrast to my fair skin.
And theBalm product are really great quality - definitely recommend them.
See review and swatch here.


Sleek Pout Polish in Raspberry Rhapsody
After spending a bit more time in the UK, I have been trying out some more products from Sleek (I love the Contour Kit, I got last year).
I normally don't really love tinted lip balms in pots, but Sleek has such a great range of colours, that I decided to try one out.
And I really like them - they are actually really moisturising and super pigmented.
I got another colour as well, but this one has been my favourite.


Maybelline Color Tattoo in Metallic Pomergranate
This is probably the best and most unique of the color tattoos in my opinion.
It might seem a bit scary, but it is actually very wearable and look more brown than red when on the eye.
You can see, how I used it in an autumn eye look here.

Natural Collection eye shadows in Butterscotch and Milk Chocolate
This is probably one of the best beauty bargain on the UK high street.
At £ 1,79 they are very comparable to high end shadows like MAC and Urban Decay in texture and pigmentation, and they actually do a very good selection of shades, which also include matte shadows.
These two have been my favourites and are perfect for easy everyday use - Milk Chocolate all over the lid and Butterscotch as a inner corner highlight.

Rimmel Scandal'Eyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal in Bronze
These are great eye liners - soft, easy to apply and last all day.
This together with the nude one is my favourites from the range.

Natural Collection in Butterscotch and Milk Chocolate
Maybelline Metallic Pomergranate and Rimmel Kohl Kajal in Bronze
So these were my October favourites - I hope, you enjoyed.
