The Beauty Bite: October: A Monthly Beauty Feast

I always think of October as a bit of a tease when it comes to the world of beauty. whilst we pack away our summer essentials and prepare for colder months, October comes and dangles the most delicious products right in front of our eyes whilst cheekily chanting “You can’t have this yet!” seriously, roll on November – those Christmas collections are making me itch!
Anyway, cravings asides, here are just some of the goodies I’ve been enjoying these past 31 days:
Life NK Everlasting Lip CareSpace NK gave these out free to customers earlier this year to celebrate Valentines day. It’s both light and non greasy, which makes it ideal for applying before matte lipstick.
Bobbi Brown Extra SPF 25 Tinted Moisturising BalmI love this product so, so, so much! If you’re prone to dry, flaky skin then definitely look into this ultra rich formula. Not only does it leave the skin looking unbelievably radiant, it also provides light to medium coverage.
L’Oreal Color Appeal Trio Pro in Grey ObsessionI only purchased this the other day but I’m already seriously loving this shade selection. Greys and silvers compliment my blue eyes perfectly – and the quirky dip tray packaging is pretty nifty too!
Rimmel Lash Accelerator I’ve been using this since September and although I can’t say if it’s actually visibly lengthened my lashes, I do really love the bold effect it gives.
MAC Darkly my Dear BlushI was so excited to attend MAC’s first blogger event last month and this blush, unexpectedly, has turned out to be my favourite piece from the V.V collection. It’s perfect for adding contour and warmth to cooler complexions – I’m seriously addicted!
Benefit High BeamThis highlighter is ideal for subtle daytime shimmer. I’ve been using it over Shu Uemura’s Stage Glow to add a bit more gleam to the brow bone.
Bobbi Brown Buff LipglossWe all have one, right? That product that sits in the drawer for months whilst we ponder why on earth we bought it until, randomly, one day we stick it on and fall head over heels in love. This gloss is exactly that.
