October Favourites
Hey guys, how's it going? I know it's been a while and I hope that everyone is well. This month has been a crazy month and I have spent the past two weeks being sick so that is the reason for being MIA. I dislike autumn/winter purely because it's sick season! But looking at the date it is now suddenly November! Like where has this month even gone?!
So I guess it's time again for monthly favourites and admittedly I do not have a lot because I have just mainly been curled up with boxes of tissues trying to get over being sick.
But anywho, first favourite is a lipstick and from a brand I did not really think I was ever going to buy. But I really loved the shade and had to have it. So for the first time ever I went to the Charlotte Tilbury counter which they now have in Fenwicks along with brands such as Nars and Laura Mercier. Now I'm not really into my high end makeup however I have been looking for a dark lip to rock this autumn/winter and stumbled across this shade. I swatched it and it looked really nice so I was like, why not? and purchased my first high end lipstick.
It's in the shade Glastonberry and it feels very soft and smells soooo good! However I found that as the day wore on that this lipstick started to feel dry on my lips and began to settle into lines and well...that is so not a good look. For such an expensive lipstick I did not expect that to happen and because I moisturised my lips beforehand it was odd to see it crack and settle. But I think to remedy this I'm going to have to purchase the lip liner that accompanies this shade and see if that stops it settling.
Next is a rediscovery. I have a few perfumes lurking around but I have two main ones that I wear on a day to day basis. And for some random reason I was like hmm I fancy smelling different XD. So I had a look at my collection and rediscovered this.
It's Gucci's Gucci Guilty and I was obsessed with this when it first came out. And upon rediscovering it I'm kind of becoming obsessed with it again. I am no good at describing scents so if you get the chance go out and smell it XD.
So I was on the hunt for some new shoes for the winter and a trip into Schuh happened and I'll tell you all now...shoes are kind of my weakness. Now I do not own like tons of shoes because I simply do not have space (walk-in shoe wardrobe is the dream!) and I am kind of picky over what shoes I buy. But when I saw these something inside me just wanted them. They are totally feminine and did not seem like my style but when I tried them on (after struggling to get them on!) they were a winner.
They are Timberland Earth Glancy boots. And surprisingly once you actually get them on your feet they are quite comfortable. I am not used to wearing shoes with heels because honestly I like my feet but these are not so bad and it is easy to get used to them and seriously, they are comfortable. Also they work to dress up a casual outfit and easily go from day to night.
The last favourite is kind of odd because of the weather but I'm wearing them inside so it's ok XD. They are these flip flops from Ipanema and I am sooooooooo in love with these!! They are so cute and of course because they were designed with Japan in mind I knew I wanted them. They are very comfortable and seem a lot more durable than other flip flops I've owned. Of course the true test will come next year in the summer (should we have one!).
So that's it for October favourites. I hope everyone had a good Halloween and ate lots of sweets and chocolate (I have so much trick or treating sweets leftover...probably not for much longer though XD).
Until next time xx
