Hello Dolls ♥ I hope you all had a fabulous Halloween! I am sad that October is over, but at least I get to show you my October favorites now! There was a good number of products and I hope you enjoy :D
1. Urban Decay 15th Anniversary Palette
If you guys have seen my EOTDs, you might have noticed that I use this palette A LOT! I love this so much!! I am so glad I bought it, especially because I was so close to not buying it. I have heard many people say that if you have other UD palettes, that this is not worth buying. As someone who has owned quite a few UD palettes and eyeshadows, I have to strongly disagree. I think the quality of this UD far surpasses any of their other palettes (except for the Naked Palette, I have not used that one yet). The shadows are incredibly pigmented and buttery smooth. The variety in color is also amazing, since it contains bold and neutral colors. I seriously can't get over how much I love this!!! If you want to see this palette in action, checkout all of my EOTD's using this palette HERE.
2. ELF Eyelid Primer
A $1 product that honestly is almost just as good as the UD Primer Potion. In fact screw the UDPP! I wasted money on buying that primer, which although is slightly better that the ELF one, it dried up super fast. So it was more expensive and I hardly got any use out of it. I highly recommend that you try this primer. If it doesn't work for you, well it was only $1. I have had this same tube for a pretty long time and it still have a good amount of product left. Seriously, I feel so stupid for wasting so much money on other primers. Review of this HERE.
3.Barbie ♥ Stila 'Little Black Dress'
I believe I already mentioned this smudge pot before. I simply love the color of this. This actually has become my signature concert shadow. It looks great and does not smudge or smear when I am sweating my ass off or moshing at a concert. True story.
4.MAC 'Asian Flower' Sheen Supreme Lipstick
This has become one of my favorite lippies <3 It looks great, it is moisturizing, and its purple ♥ What more could I want? I made a post of me wearing this with Stila's 'Little Black Dress'. You can check that out HERE and a review on this lipstick HERE.
5.Estee Lauder Illuminating Powder Gelee
I was a little hesitant about showing you guys this product, but it will pop up sooner or later, so why not sooner? I bought this after I saw it on one of Michele1218's Youtube videos. It was incredibly hard to find, and it was pretty much sold out everywhere. A very nice Nordstrom MUA hooked me up and she managed to get for me the very last one from a different Nordstrom store. It was shipped to my house and I was very excited to try this out. Yeah, I went a little crazy for this supposed great highlighter. But I really trust Michele's recommendations, so I knew I had to have it. And let me tell you...this is the best highlighter I have ever used. I have used MAC MSF's, MAC Lustre Drops, LORAC highlighters, and whole bunch of other products, but this beats them all. I really hope they repromote it...I really hope they do.
6.Rescue Beauty Lounge 'Piu Mosso' Nail Lacquer
Super gorgeous dark navy with copper/orange shimmer. It goes opaque in one coat. Fab fall/winter color and looks really great on my toes. Yup, that is all there is to say. You can check out swatches and a review HERE.
7.Fyrinnae Halloween eyeshadows
Check out a review and swatches HERE. I have been using these a lot since I bought them. The colors are just perfect for fall and they are simply incredible.
Geeky Favorites
-Doctor Who episodes that contain David Tennant. I adore him <3333 He is my favorite Doctor.
-Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3DS. I have been playing this in my spare time. I already beat it, but playing it again won't hurt.
-League of Legends (LOL). I have been getting addicted to this, and I have been trying very hard not to play it too much. I easily get addicted to games, but surely I did play it too much and thus this is one of my favs for this month ;)
That was a lot of stuff...
