October Faves

Can’t believe October is over already! With another month passed, that means it’s time for a “favorites” post. I guess you could say I’ve been in a pampering mood for a while as one of my favorites for October was the “Dr. Teals Epsom Salt with Eucalyptus and Spearmint”. Perfect for a lazy day off or a relaxing nighttime soak. I’ve read that Epsom salt is good for softening your skin and had detoxifying properties, and it does the job well. Not so sure about how much it detoxes, but it certainly makes my skin extra soft. This will definitely be a staple for the rest of the cold months.

So basically after putting it off for literally years, I finally caved and purchased “Moroccan Oil” hair oil treatment. I had never tried it before my hair stylist used it last year, and every time I went for a trim I couldn’t wait to feel my soft and silky hair afterward. All you need is a small amount (think half dime-size for longer hair) applied to wet hair and that’s it! I don’t have to use any other styling product to gunk up hair and it really keeps my strands moisturized, never greasy. Let me tell you, if you have thought about purchasing this, go on and get it! This stuff is amazing and you won’t regret it.
Since the colder months are upon us, the change in weather has really taken a toll on my poor skin. Cold, dry outdoor air and dry indoor heat isn’t the best thing for anyone’s skin. My skin was starting to get more dry, breakouts peeking through and it was lacking some serious brightness. What better to reach for than my “Philosophy Microdelivery Purifying Peel”? I really haven’t been using this mask a whole lot the past 6 months but I found myself reaching for this once a week the whole month. It takes 1-3 minutes and the pineapple enzymes, Alpha Hydroxy Acid, and Lactic Acid work their magic and make my skin brighter and smoother.

My last favorite for the month is a little gem from L’Oreal called “Infallible Gel Lacquer Liner 24 hour”. Whew, that’s a long name but it’s amazing! It comes with a small precise brush similar to the shape of the Bobbi Brown liner brush. The liner glides on smooth with no tugging and comes out a nice opaque black on the first swipe, no need to layer here. Normally with long-wear or waterproof formulas, they tend to be very dry but not this one. It is creamy and when it sets, it does not budge ‘til I wash my face. If you are looking for a good quality gel liner but don’t want to spend too much, this is it.
