FAVOURITES | October 2014

It honestly feels like only last week that I posted my September Favourites. Where is the time going, and can it stop going there please?! 


First product of this month may have secured itself a place on my list if all time favourites! As you can see above, I'm talking about the LORAC PRO Palette. It's a gorgeous palette, full of wearable, neutral shades and a couple of curveballs! I find it so hard to pick a favourite shade, they're all so beautiful! There's also an even keel of matte and shimmer, 8 of each. The shadows themselves are highly pigmented, and have a lovely, buttery feel to them. Only downfall? It's not available in Ireland. Boo! At the beginning of the month, I posted a more indepth look at this palette, you can check that out here!




I've been loving experimenting with Halloween makeup looks so much this month! Halloween is a great time to get crazy with your makeup, you can just pass it off as a costume. What's not to love about that?! Snazaroo is great quality paint, and they do a great Special FX wax, perfect for creating scars and wounds. Plus, you can't forget the blood, no Halloween costume is complete without it! I got this fake blood from a Halloween store for €1, and the Snazaroo Gel Blood came in a set with the wax!


This concealer, Maybelline's Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles in Light, has been my go to this month! It's super lightweight, gives good coverage, and is very blendable. It is warm-toned, so I would 100% recommend this concealer for anyone who loves yellow-toned bases! Don't get me wrong, I'm sold on it as an everyday concealer, I just prefer it for highlighting.



 Peaches is a gorgeous peach blush, with subtle brown undertones and a matte finish. It's got a nice, silky-smooth texture, and blends easily with zero fallout. MAC Sheertone Blushes are great because the coverage is so buildable. You can create a pretty, natural flush, or go for a more intense colour - depending on what you're feeling that day!





Maybelline Color Tattoos are so versatile, they can be used as a base, or as an all over lid colour. This particular shade, Barely Branded, is a pearly, warm-toned oyster colour, with a frost finish to it. I love it as an all over lid shade, especially on days where I feel like wearing minimal makeup! It's subtle colour isn't too stand outish, but the shimmer let's people know you mean business! 



What have you been loving this month? Let me know below! 

Until next time,

BEAUTY | The Tale of Two Palettes

When I first planned this post, I was prepared to pit these two palettes against one another. I have since seen the error of my ways. It was like Sophie's Choice, albeit not as dramatic! Actually, I'm willing to bet that it was just as dramatic! Who says I can't love them both equally?!
