October Favourites

October was a very stressful month for me and I’m glad it’s over. However, this month ended on a good note with Halloween. I’m not super into Halloween but I always enjoy getting Maxwell ready in his costume, and going trick-or-treating with him. You can see his costume on my Instagram (@emilynmax, links in the sidebar). I didn’t dress up this year, but let me know in the comments what you went as if you dressed up.

Dove Invigorating Dry Shampoo – This dry shampoo has quickly become a favourite. I find myself reaching for this over my Batiste almost every time. It is more lightweight than Batiste; I cannot feel it in my hair through the day, yet it refreshes my hair just as well. I also really love the scent, it’s very fresh and clean, much like Dove soap.

Nail Tek Intensive Therapy – My nails have been peeling again this past month, as they were about a year ago. I rediscovered this nail treatment in my stash, which is formulated for soft, peeling nails. I apply this consistently for a week or two and my nails are strong, and not peeling anymore. This stuff is awesome!

Kate Somerville ExfoliKate – This intensive exfoliating treatment is so effective at removing dead skin cells, and smoothing my skin. I can only use this once every few weeks because I have sensitive skin, and it is quite abrasive, but it works. It smells kind of like licorice maybe, not a fan of the scent. Your skin may starts to tingle and turn red using this product, but it goes away soon after rinsing it off. One other thing, this product is so expensive! The small bottle I have pictured about is $27!!

MAC Lip Pencil in Whirl – MAC lip pencils are not my favourite formula wise, as far as wooden lip pencils go I prefer Essence way more, and they’re like $3. However, I have been using Whirl non-stop all month. It has just been the perfect shade to wear alone, to line my lips before going in with a dark vampy lipstick, or even just layering with other lip products. The dirty rose shade is just so flattering.

Elizabeth and James Nirvana Black Perfume –  This perfume is my fall scent, I love it so much. As soon as the weather gets colder, I’m wearing this all the time. With notes of violet, sandalwood, and vanilla it is a musky and sexy fragrance. When I get through this roller ball, I will be purchasing the full-size!

What products have you been loving throughout the month of October?
