October Favourites

I don't think I've ever done a favourites post before, but I've had so many awesome discoveries this month I think that I think it's very necessary! 

Makeup

Lipstick

Last week a put up a post about my sisters wedding and how I did the bridesmaid's makeup. I used a lipstick called Asia as I found it to be the most flattering on a diverse range of skin tones. I have used this lipstick so many times since the wedding, I think it just looks really lovely and neutral, it has brilliant lasting power, the formulation is really creamy and lovely on the lips and also the packaging is quite smart too! Big thumbs up from me! You can buy Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick in Asia here. 

Eye Liner

Maybelline's Eye Studio Gel Eyeliner has really stood out to me. I've never really been a big fan of eyeliner anyway, but I saw that Maybelline had a 3-for-2 offer on in Boots and I thought I'd pick one of these up to try out. Turns out, I actually love it! It comes with a tiny brush which is so nice to use and allows you to build  up the desired line thickness. The formula itself is super pigmented and creamy with great staying power. I wore it all day whilst out shopping and it didn't smudge or bleed at all. Really impressed! You can buy this product here.

Mascara

This is a rediscovery for me, I remember using it when I was a teenager at school and it was awesome back then! Again, this was on offer so I thought I'd pick it up for old times sake! I love the tiny little brush on it as I sometimes find huge fluffy mascara brushes quite hard and messy to work with, however this one gets right into the corners of my eye and is also perfect for putting on my bottom lashes! I got this in Blackish Brown because all of my other mascaras are black and I thought it would be nice to have a softer colour, although it does look pretty dark to me! You can but this here. 

Random 

Music

I've not really had any new discoveries in terms of music this month, but I have been listening to a lot of RnB and club sort of songs! If this is your thing then I'd recommend having a listen to: 

• Gyptian - Hold Yuh 
• Iggy Azalea - Work 
• Jason Derulo - Talk Dirty 
• Sage the Gemini - Gas Pedal 

Food 

Tandoori Chicken Salad from Subway! Hands down my favourite food of the month. And low cal too..result! 

Hope you enjoyed my October favourites guys :) Link me to yours in the comments and I'll be sure to check them out! Ciao for now. x.x.x

Maybelline Babylips Review

When Maybelline brought out the Baby Lips range, the world of internet beauty blogging went wild! After seeing a review featured on everyone's blog, it seemed I was missing out by not owning one. So, I did what every beauty blogger would do..get my hands on one! I picked up Pink Punch from my local Boots store. After using this lip balm for a fair few weeks,  I have come to the conclusion that yes it's pretty and it smells nice, but I'm not too sure all the reviews are accurate.

I had to reapply the lip balm every hour or so, even though one of the selling points of Baby Lips is the 8 hour hydration. The colour payoff was quite nice as it stains the lips, and also the smell was a nice bonus. But as a hydrating lip balm, I really don't think that it was worth the hype. Maybe it was this particular flavour? Who knows. Can any of you guys recommend me your favourite Baby Lips that actually sticks to it's promise?

Ciao for now! B x.x
