Monthly Favorites: October 2021 Edition!

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 Toner 8 oz/ 240 mL 
• Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm for Hydration & Shine Vanilla Beige 
• Yves Saint Laurent Touche Éclat Awakening Concealer Click Pen

Great picks, @lmaster, and I have to agree about the blanket being so perfect for these cooler Fall nights 🙂

[lmaster]

@CookieGirl1 thank you love!! Oh my gosh it is so comfy and warm!!

[SportyGirly125]

@lmaster Aww I love your favorites.  Glad to see the YSL mascara and TJ Pumpkin body butter make it on your favorites.

[lmaster]

@SportyGirly125 thank you gorgeous beauty!! How did I never try that YSL before!!!?!

[SportyGirly125]

@lmaster I never tried it either until I got it from

Nordstroms in a 2 pack. I know you and I both love The Shock so I had to have you try it too to see what you think.  

I actually like it as much as The Shock mascara. 

[lmaster]

I think I may like it more @SportyGirly125 😆

[SportyGirly125]

@lmaster Yay to new mascara finds.

I've really been loving the LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask Intense Hydration with Vitamin C Vanilla and #Grace Eleyae Satin-Lined Knot Turban

[eshoe]

Vanilla sounds like a great scent for an everlasting lip balm, @Samtian.  

[Samtian]

@eshoe It works the best out of the ones I've tried.

I’ve been reaching a lot for the LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask Intense Hydration with Vitamin C 

[eshoe]

That is a tried and true lip mask, @idanyd! I haven’t tried any of the seasonal flavors…yet 😄 

[AlexBT]

@idanyd a classic! have you picked up any of the new seasonal flavors?

[idanyd]

Yes I have and they’re amazing!!! @AlexBT and the scent is so so so wonderful!

This thread reminds me just how consistent I have been this whole year. I’m still loving a lot of the same things and mostly stash shopping. 

I finally got around to using MERIT Flush Balm Cream Blush Cheeky and it’s quite nice. Ease of application is key for me and this was easy to apply. 

I also used a tube of MAKE UP FOR EVER Aqua XL Ink Eye Liner . I’m still searching for the perfect liquid liner with a felt tip that is water resistant and lasts 12 hours but I always revert to this when I can’t find anything I like.

@lnum  Great job keeping consistent!! And shopping your stash!! You totally reminded me to pull out my merit blush it’s perfect for this time of year! 

[lnum]

@ather Yes! It goes great with all the fall lippies. 

[eshoe]

Love those Merit blushes, @lnum.  

[lnum]

@eshoe It was definitely the BIC that convinced me to try cream blush and this one specifically. 😄

[AlexBT]

@lnum Cheeky is such a good one! I want to try Beverly Hills next. 🙂
