Monthly Favorites October 2021

Even though the sunny weather outside my window is having a bit of an identity crisis, I’m more than ready to embrace all the Fall vibes and buckle down and get cozy. (Speaking of which, don’t forget to join theFall Cozy Challenge if you haven’t already!) Spending more time indoors again means I’ve had time to pick up some new self-care habits (like dry brushing), experiment with some TikTok skincare trends (toner on my underarms?!), and rediscover some old favorites while I re-organize my beauty stash. There’s something about Fall that puts me in the pampering mood, and sometimes that means simply doing my makeup or hair “just because.” Now all I need is some pumpkin spice! 🎃🍂

Here are the products I’ve been loving all October long:

Gisou Propolis Infused Texturizing Wave Spray 5.1 oz/ 150 mL
goop G.Tox Ultimate Dry Brush
The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating and Brightening Daily Toner 8 oz/ 240 mL
Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm Treatment for Hydration + Nourishing Shine Vanilla Beige - sheer beige
Yves Saint Laurent Touche Éclat Awakening Concealer Click Pen

Nice favorites this month @AlexBT! Yes to dry brushing! This is the first I've heard of toner on the underarms ... adding that to my list of things to research this weekend.

@itsfi I love picking up new beauty habits, but sticking to them is always tricky for me... Hoping that dry brushing is one that sticks! 🙂 The underarm toner I have to be careful with, because sometimes I'll forget and put it on right after shaving and that is not a fun mistake to make. 🤦‍

I hear ya on sticking to new habits @AlexBT! I was better with using a dry brush consistently when I first learned about it and I could stand to to get back on a more regular routine with that. I learned about the dry brush technique when I was vacationing in Hawaii many moons ago and picked up the SEPHORA COLLECTION Dry Revive: Dry Body Brush while there. I have the new version of it too, which really just means I have zero excuse for not sticking with it. 😆 Looks like I have a new year's resolution already in the works. 🤣

@Margalee Haha happy October! Glad you made it here with time to spare. 🙂 I love the sound of that lilah b. oil. It seems like something I'd like to try mixing with my foundation for a nice glow - but nice to hear that you can wear it alone, too!

@AlexBT I've really been enjoying ALTERNA Haircare CAVIAR Anti-Aging® Smoothing Anti-Frizz Blowout Butter . I got a deluxe sample of it, and it was just what my hair needed. My hair has been softer and sleeker. I use it all over, but it's been a lifesaver for the top layer of my hair.

That Alterna is so good, @greeneyedgirl107.

@greeneyedgirl107 Nice! We just started getting rain here so I'm not even going to bother to attempt to blow-dry for the foreseeable future. 😂 But this sounds like a great smoothing styler!
