Boo! 👻🎃 It’s spooky how quickly October is flying by, BIC. I’m curious what new products all of you have been trying this season – personally, I feel like this time of year is one of the most exciting when it comes to beauty releases (holiday kits, anyone?)! I’ve been picking up a couple things I see trending at Sephora here and there, while also shopping my own stash and checking off my “been meaning to try this!” list.
Here are some of my October favorites:
Handing the mic to you! 😊🎤 The Beauty Insider Community would love to know: what skincare, hair, makeup, fragrance, and wellness products have you been loving most this month? Be sure to use the “#” symbol to tag any products you mention!
Love that K18 mask, cannot live without it 🙂 @GeorginaBT
The October favorite I reached for most this month has to be my Origins GinZing™ Energizing Gel Cream with Caffeine & Niacinamide 1.7 oz / 50 mL especially during the morning time. Another favorite I've been reaching for frequently is my Sunday Riley U.F.O. Salicylic Acid BHA Treatment Face Oil I swear as often as I reach for this bottle it doesn't feel like I've even made a dent 🤣 Since it's become colder/drier here I've also been reaching for my Pillow Balm quite a bit, my most reached for type is the Too Faced Hangover Pillow Balm Ultra Hydrating Lip Balm Banana Kiss. In the bath, I've been loving using my Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Play Moisturizing Shower Cream-Gel such a luxurious feel and great for those drier months. I love how the cream-gel texture. ❤️
Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Soft Pinch Tinted Lip Oil Stain Serenity is October’s favourite. I bought a different shade back when Rare announced they would donate all sales for that day to mental health. I wasn’t happy with the shade and exchanged it for one I did like during the sale. I love the cooling effect and the tint it leaves behind. If I apply some lip balm after, the cooling effect returns for a bit.
Your Oct faves are top-tier @itsfi and your photo is beautiful 😍
It's very thoughtful of you to add Sephora's holiday foot masks to your gifts. Tired feet are often neglected. I've never used them, but I've seen several ppl on this board say they're wonderful and have made getting them a tradition.
It's great that you've found a great debrassing system, and is always a plus when your hair stylist notices the changes in your tresses!
Loveeeee your shade choice in Dior's Lip Maximizer 💕
What does the shower oil smell like?
I searched high and low for the Cinnamon Woods candle last week. Google and Bing showed the Sephora link, but it wasn't working when I placed my orders. When I saw your post, I just checked...the link to the candle is now working! Lol, I'm itching to get it while we still have a discount to use. How's the candle's throw?
The mahogany Dior shade is indeed so pretty and very autumnal @itsfi! 😊 I might pick up the Maximizer gloss soon ...
K18 is one of my all time favorite hair products @GeorginaBT! My favorites this month are:
Cherry and Iced coffee from the Summer Fridays The Lip Butter Balm Set
iNNBEAUTY PROJECT Bright & Tight Dark Circle Firming Eye Cream with Vitamin C & Peptides 0.5 oz / 15 mL
Glossier After Baume Moisture Barrier Recovery Cream 1.7 oz / 50 mL
Yves Saint Laurent YSL Loveshine Lip Oil Stick
and OGX coconut hair oil
Iced coffee is done so well!! @faeriegirl great favorites
I agree @lmaster! I hope they release it on it’s own!
@faeriegirl Nice favourites. Do the Summer Friday balms smell like Cherry and iced coffee?
@Mellmars1185 Yes they do! I love both scents❤️
I kind of want to pick up the Cherry Summer Fridays balm @faeriegirl! The color looks so pretty in swatches ♥
@GeorginaBT I've been testing out the K18 Biomimetic Hairscience Mini Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask 0.5 oz/ 15 mL this month and am still a bit on the fence... It absolutely left my hair soft and manageable (I felt weird not using a conditioner), but I feel like I need to use it on my freshly cut hair, my expectations may have diverted into hope territory with how bad my split ends were and how much any product can mend.
This month I have a mix of new to me and standby products.
Tower 28 Beauty SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray with Hypochlorous Acid 4 oz/ 120 mL This is a repeat offender in my favourites. I've used a few of these in the past and always loved them. More skincare should come in spray format!!! The spray really helped me through the pandemic with all the mask wearing. A bottle in my Sephoria bag reminded me that I really love this product. While I don't wear masks as often, I'm in buildings with questionable heating all the time, the full size bottle has been back in my routine and a travel size is living in my desk for mid day spritz every now and again.
NARS Sheer Glow Foundation is one that I pulled out my collection after watching a youtuber rave about it. It's the one foundation I used for two different trips in October and while I'm trying to use up a few other foundations while at home... I keep coming back to Sheer Glow. The coverage is what I'd call medium and buildable, it matches me great, and it wears so well through the day. I generally work a day between 8 and 10 hours and I'm not much for touching up through the day. This does wear away through the day, usually starting around hour 6, but it wears in such a way that it just looks like less coverage. I've also touched up over top of this foundation several times when running out directly from work and it's worked really well with both a cushion foundation, powder foundation and stick concealer.
Natasha Denona Hy-Glam Brightening & Hydrating Medium to Full Coverage Crease Proof Serum Concealer I picked this up at the group Sephora shopping spree on Day 1 of Sephoria and I'm so glad I got to pick a shade in person. It's a thicker formula but it blends out so easily. Yes, there is a bit of creasing, but I'm over 40... there will always be creasing. The creasing is very easy and quick to blot with just a finger. The coverage is what I'd call medium to high, I only use this under my eyes and thus far... best concealer I've tried.
KAYALI YUM PISTACHIO GELATO | 33 Eau de Parfum Intense Travel Spray In Love! This is the first fragrance from Kayali that I really loved. I've like a few just fine, but this one just hits right for me. It's a super sweet gourmand that I would understand if people called way too sweet. I'm contemplating if I should get a full size or just stick to picking up another travel size.
MAKE UP FOR EVER Artist Color Pencil Longwear Lip Liner 604 Up & Down Tan The shade I've been using the most is Wherever Walnut, but I also have Boundless Berry and it's a close second. I've been using these as lip liners and they remind me of the Mac Liners, creamy, but not toooo creamy, a sharpen-able pencil with colour coordinating caps. I'll be keeping an eye out for some other shades of these, and may try some of the fun shades as eyeliners.
@missjeanie I agree!! Kayali killed it with this fragrance!!
@lmaster I quite like the apple and vanilla, but the pisachio..... mmmmmmmmmm so good!!
@missjeanie Thanks for your feedback. I like hearing the different ways the Tower 28 spray is used. Up and Down Tan is one of my go to shades from MUFE ❤️
@Mellmars1185 I'll have to check out Up and Down Tan! I've always loved MUFE and this pencil is just such a gem that I can't believe I haven't tried until now!
@missjeanie I understand, skipping conditioner feels so strange. I was reading on K18's IG awhile back, that you can use conditioner in your routine with K18, just make sure you give your hair 4 minutes of processing time with only K18 before hand.
I added conditioner too the end of my routine, after my 4 minutes with the mask, and I like the results much better. 💜
@CynthieLu Good to know! The brand rep at Sephoria told me the same thing but reallllly implored me to try it without the conditioner first. I have to say, my hair really did feel so soft. I'm going to have to experiment a bit to see how I like it with and without conditioner now!
Funny @missjeanie - I actually seriously started using K18 after cutting my hair a few months ago. I think I was in a similar boat as you; my hair was beyond repair! Starting with a fresh slate has helped me see a little bit more of a difference. My hair is definitely softer when I use the mask. 😊
@GeorginaBT I'm excited to try it again! I really tend to let my hair get waaaaaay past needing a cut so my hopes weren't too high but I was amazed at how soft my hair felt overall. This could be an expensive new habit!
