October Faves

Hiya  Peeps

In the spirit of being economical I have not been buying much lately. Hence the lack of monthly faves.  Going forward my faves will mostly consist of things that cost less than £10. Of course I will include the lovely stuff I got from my final blow out  for this month’s edition to keep my fashionista’s satisfied.  Alas this is the end of an era (for now)

The Final blowout

Diesel Jeans

I love this brand they hug my body in all the right places even when I rock the loose styles like the boy fit my bum still looks super sexy when supported in these jeans.  I buy most of my jeans in TK Maxx or in the on line sales where the out of season, brand name jeans, retail at really good prices i’m talking under £50.

Mac Studio Finish Concealer

The colour I use is NW45 and this stuff is really lovely.  I apply with my fingers just under my brow bone to create the illusion of perfect brows. As the colour is exactly the same as my brow bone, it is the perfect choice. As an added bonus it has SPF.

Mac Penultimate Eye Liner Liquide

I chose to go for the Rapid Black. I really like this liner as the pen makes the application super simple and the colour is super dark and rich. This product is ideal for the liquid eye liner novice as you do not have to master the tricky inkwell to achieve the look. (Bravo)

Mac Lipstick

Girl About Town is the shade. Sexy is the colour. This is not for the shy and retiring. This particular shade which is a darkish but strong pink is a statement lip for those days when you do not want to do the all out strong red siren; but neither do you want to be a wallflower. I loooooooove this lipstick.

However I will admit that my traitorous heart has recently taken me over to the Lancôme counter where I was given some fabulous lipstick samples all in the pink family. The colour palette came in a block of four and range from subtle nude to the all out Nickki Minaj experience.  As I did this make-up Haul at the airport (duty free Y’all) they did not have a Lancôme counter or I would have probably purchased the lippy from them.

The Body Shop Almond Body Butter

If you do not like sweet smells skip this one. I am a huge fan of the body butter range. I really enjoy the vanilla, Cocoa and Coconut fragrances best. The great thing about these butters is you do not need perfume when you lotion up with this stuff as It is fragrant enough. Personally, I have not experienced clashes between a body butter and a fragrance. Because all the scents I like have the same basic components as the butters.  But I guess this could be an issue if you try to mix and match. But for peeps like my home girl V who can take of leave fragrance this product is a winner.

Blistex

Oh how I love thee let me count the ways.  Guys I love, love, lurve this lip balm it’s cheap and effective. It acts as the perfect moisturiser under lipstick. Lately the fashion magazines and my fashion insider V have been telling me about a new trend in high end lip balms that cost upwards of £25 but supposedly heal the lips from the inside out. Exactly the type of hype that could have got me to part with cash BBP (before budget plan).  Sorry Folks I have no idea what’s happening in the world of fancy lip balms but feel free to tell me all about it if you do.
