♡ October Favourites 2015 | Part One - Beauty & Fashion ♡

Hello everybody and welcome back to yet another one of my monthly favourites posts here on my blog. I'm super excited about today's post because, as we all know, monthly favourites posts are my favourite kind of posts to write and it's been so long since I last posted one - because I've had so many other posts planned out and written (yes, you can probably hear my heart breaking). Anyway, I have so many favourites for the month of October (probably because I didn't do a September favourites post) that I've had to split it into two different parts - but that means two separate posts. Yay! 

The first of my favourites from the month of October is (no shock here) an eyeshadow palette. As one of my friends pointed out to me, I seem to have a different eyeshadow palette in every one of my favourites posts, and that's actually probably true. If you read my birthday haul post then you'll already know which palette I'm talking about but, if not, here I am to tell you - it's the Lollipops Pink Eyes Palette. The shades are absolutely stunning and I've been using it a lot lately. 

The next two products in my favourites for this month are both lip products - and both were purchased when I went to Paris at the start of the month. The first is MAC's Velvet Teddy lipstick - pretty self explanatory because I really do think this is more of a cult product - everyone seems to own it! Either way, it's a gorgeous nude matte shade and I adore it.  The second is a product by a make up brand that I didn't know were a make up brand. It's the Elle Mon Crayon Glossy Jumbo Gloss in the shade 01 Praline Rose. I obviously knew Elle was the magazine but I was completely unaware of the beauty range by themselves, probably because I don't think it's available in the UK. It's a stunning shade and I wear it almost on a daily basis. 


The next two products in my beauty section of my October Favourites are both very recent purchases. The first is the Collection Illuminating Touch Foundation (in the shade 02 Ivory) and I purchased this a couple of weeks ago and, so far, I really like it. I don't want to say much about it because I want to do a review post, if I can fit it into my blog post schedule. The second is, once again, probably another cult product - the Maybelline Lash Sensation mascara. I've been using the Seventeen Falsifeye HD mascara for the past few months but I have a theory that I might be allergic to it so, to see if it makes a difference, I went out and purchased a new mascara by a different brand and I chose this one. Purely because I've heard so many great things about it and, let me tell you: it's great, and I really love it. 

Going on to fashion favourites now, the first of my favourites is actually a coat. It's from New Look and it's a super pretty camel coloured boyfriend coat. It's absolutely stunning, so easy to wear and it's great for the cooler weather because it's so warm and cozy. Surprise surprise, I love it. 

The second (and last, actually) of my fashion favourites for the month of October are a pair of boots and I'm obsessed. I love Chelsea boots and when my Boohoo.Com Chelsea Boots started 'talking', I was devastated. So when I came across these in H&M, I was thriled. My prayers had been answered and I'd found the perfect replacement pair. They're super comfy and easy to wear - simple, chic and generally great. 

So there we have it: part one of my October Favourites. See you on Sunday for part two!
