Anyway this is supposed to be my October Favourites not a rant about the sun. Let’s get to it!
1. Lush Dirty Springwash
Ah how I love this delightfully subtle minty shower gel. The blueness of it is the reason I purchased it – I’m a sucker for WKD like blue – but the brilliance of it is the reason it’s in my favourites. Dirty Springwash has been used every day for almost 2 months now and I still have a decent amount left of it.
You only need a tiny amount to clean your entire body but that small blob of shower gel will leave you sparkling clean and minty fresh. The scent isn’t overpowering so you don’t run risk of reeking like a Polo factory all day. I’m either going to buy more of this or steal my other half’s bottle. I bought it for him after all…
2. Lush D’Fluff
I’ve been blessed with skin that doesn’t irritate easily but it never hurts to have a decent shaving cream. Up until D’Fluff appeared on the shelves in Lush I never actually bothered with a shaving cream but now I don’t remove unwanted hair without it.
D’Fluff is another incredible product from Lush that does exactly what it says on the tin (or the black tub, whatever you want to call it). You apply it prior to shaving, grab your razor and then start hacking er I mean shaving away. It leaves your skin incredibly smooth and smelling delightful. Granted I’m not a huge fan of the scent in the tub but once it’s on the skin it smells rather good.
3. Maybelline Baby Lips in Minty Fresh
There was so much hype around the Maybelline Baby Lips when they first hit our stores to the point where I was completely sucked in by it all. I bought 3 of them, 2 were the tinted lip balms while the other was just a general lip balm. I quickly got rid of the tinted ones after being completely disappointed by them but I kept the Minty Fresh one.
I didn’t actually use Minty Fresh for a while as I had another lip balm on the go but, as that went walkabouts, Minty Fresh had a go at fixing the state of my lips. I won’t deny the fact it’s not the greatest of lip balms out there but I absolutely love the discreet minty tingle it leaves behind on my lips and it does do the job I need it to do. At least there’s one Baby Lips that lived up to the hype for me.
4. Max Factor Xperience Weightless Foundation in ‘Raw Silk’
I can’t even remember when this foundation originally came out but I’m fairly certain I was halfway through my teenage years. I absolutely loved this foundation when I first tried it and used it religiously until one day I got bored and found something new. I’ve now rediscovered it and am falling back in love with it all over again.
It’s a fairly light coverage foundation which makes a nice change from my usual MAC Studio Fix Foundation. It won’t cover any major blemishes or my stubborn under eye dark circles but for the most part, it’s a great foundation and my skin is enjoying the break from MAC’s heaviness. I’m running quite low on this bottle so a repurchase may have to be made in the near future.
5. Necklace from Shetland Jewellery
My significant other left me for Shetland last month (he was gone for 5 days so I’m not sure why I’m making it sound so dramatic) but returned with this adorable necklace. It’s barely left my neck since he gave me it although it does have a tendency to disappear whenever I take it off at night. I think it might be cursed but I still happily wear it. What on earth am I going on about?
So there’s my October Favourites. I think next month the sun or a window will feature heavily in next month’s favourites. This lack of sun is making me loopier than I already am. I think I’ll end this post here…
