October beauty favourites

Here are my favourite products for the month of October - this time there is a mix of skincare, perfume, makeup! I love reading favourites posts, it shows if a product(s) is worth buying or not - and they make my christmas wish list longer!

1. Bioderma Atoderm PO Zinc Ultra Soothing Cream (£12.95): I have been using this facial moisturiser on and off for the past couple of months and I love it! I have dry sensitive skin due to eczema flare ups and this cream does not irritate my skin at all even when I have a bad flare up. It is very soothing, smoothing and it feels so nourishing. I would definitely buy this again, I am almost out of mine. I would only recommend this product to those who actually have very dry skin as it is super moisturising and it can make the skin look greasy. 

2. Diptyque Vetyverio (£50, 50ml): I bought this perfume in the Space NK sale a few months ago for....£17! Incredibly cheap as it should have been around £68 I think and it is a 100ml bottle too so I got a amazing bargain. Gotta love the space nk sales, I will be spending a lot in their after christmas sales! Anyway, this fragrance is so gorgeous, it is a nice transitional scent from summer to autumn/winter as it is musky fragrance but contemporary and fresh. 

3. Max Factor Smooth Effect Foundation (£6.50, Fragrance Direct): I bought the shade 45 cream ivory from Tesco as it was reduced to £3.99 and I loved it but the shade was slightly off so I bought the lighter shade 40 Porcelain which is amazing. I adore this foundation, it is great for my dry skin, it has light-medium coverage (more on the medium side in my opinion), it doesn't look caky and you can't really see it on the skin. I would highly recommend this foundation and I will be buying a back up soon. 

4. Vaseline Paint the Town Lip Balm (£3.49): I bought this from Superdrug a few weeks ago and I have been using it quite a lot. It feels really smooth and moisturising on the lips and it adds a very pretty flush on colour to the lips which looks really natural but still noticeably pretty. 

5. Sleek Oh So Special palette (£7.99): I have been using this palette so much for all of my halloween looks and also during my normal makeup as the matte shades are great for everyday on the lids and I have been using them for my brows too. It is a great multi-use palette for halloween looks, everyday, smoky eyes and for dark brows too. I really want the au naturel palette now...

A couple of random beauty favourites: Fragrance direct online shop, Real Techniques eye brushes from the starter set and the Barry M creme foundation in white which again I used for most of my halloween looks.
