October Favourites

So I guess this is my first monthly favourites... I have been loving quite a few beauty products and also some non- beauty things that I simply keep going back to no matter what.. seriously I'm hooked!

Beauty/ Fashion

First off on my list is Lipsticks. Now being in the Autumn/winter months I have started wearing more dark and red lipsticks; my favourites being Rimmel Kate Moss in 107(left) and 101(right). I tend to wear 107 a lot more as it is a more as I find that it is more matte and subtle than the 101 but I still love them both equally.

This month I have really been loving Lush I have constantly been going in there is month and I am building up quite a selection of products. (seriously I have to find a basket to fit them all in as they live in a bag.).... I think I'm becoming addicted! All their products just simply feel and smell great as well as look beautiful and making your baths so pretty. I know that I will definitely be going back for more. 

I never used to use concealer in the past but this month I decided to try Collection lasting perfection concealer and I loved it! I have really noticed a difference in my skin and appearance. It has a matte finish and is very subtle.. perfect for all seasons (especially autumn/winter).

When I went to visit my nan and Grandad up in Yorkshire they gave me Ghost sweetheart as a gift and it smells amazing! Like a sweet, flowery sent that I just keep going back to... good thing it's in a large bottle.

The final beauty/ fashion based favourite are head scarves and headbands. As some of you can tell by YouTube videos I love flower crowns and headbands and tend to wear them in my videos *cough* when I remember.. oops. But as of this month I have been including them a lot more in my day to day life; they go with a lot more things and look great.

Non-Beauty

The first of my non-beauty based favourites is Orphan Black. A hit TV series from America which aired on BBC3 from 20th September-1st November 2013. It's about an Orphan named Sarah whos life is turned upside down after witnessing the suicide of a girl who looks a spitting image of her; later finding out that she is one of many look-a-likes who turn out to be clones. 

The series included many plot twists and surprising events and conspiracies that kept me on the edge of my seat! By two episodes I was completely hooked. Although it has ended now (cry cry cry) I think there are still places online to view it...I absolutely love it and cannot wait until season 2 in 2014 I defiantly recommend it as  It's must watch!!

 (At the top is the UK "when did I become us?" promo trailer, to the left is a promo poster showing all the characters (Sarah in colour) and below is the orginal US trailer...enjoy).

Whilst on the subject of TV shows, this month I have also been loving Atlantis. As Merlin ended last year (crys) Atlantis has become it's replacement...and I love it! It follows a guy names Jason who is sent back in time to the mythical city of Atlantis; following his adventures with Pythagoras and Hercules as well as meeting some iconic Mythical characters. It's on every Saturday around 8pm (UK time) on BBC1. Although it has already started you can catch up on the BBC Iplayer. If you liked Merlin you are going to love this!!

The final non-beauty based favourite is the salted caramel hot chocolate from Starbucks. I first heard about this when I got a Pumpkin spice latte (yum) I then began to hear more and more about it from a lot of other people including Zoella. The following week I gave in and got one for myself... It was amazing! The sweet chocolatey taste and the salt compliment each other so well and it kinda tastes similar to the toffee nut latte they bring out at Christmas time...yum! These are apparently out until January time (when the red cups go) so if you're in town or near a Starbucks go and get yourself one... I highly recommend it!

What things have you loved this month? Have you used, watched or had any of these? What do you think?
