Monthly Favorites: October 2024 Edition!

[AlexBT]

Monthly Faves: October 2024!Happy spooky szn, Community! While it’s a little frightening that it’s already the end of October, there’s nothing scary about my current beauty routine. No surprises, no fuss, no jump-scares – just keeping it simple over here with my low-key autumn faves. While I love trying new things, sometimes when your days get busy you just need some solid beauty staples to *fall* back on. If only everything in life could be as reliable as our holy grails, right? 😉 

Here are some of the products I’ve been picking up the most this October:

• Ceremonia Guava Hydrating Leave-In Conditioner 6.7 oz / 200 mL 
• Glow Recipe Cloudberry Bright Essence Toner™ 
• Gucci L'Obscur Lengthening Mascara 1 Eve Black 
• Hourglass Vanish Airbrush Pressed Powder

@lmaster  love this photo, the background is so cute and perfect for fall! I love your faves, your description of that moisturizer has me wanting to try it!

A game changing moisturizer is exciting @lmaster 

[lmaster]

@CorgiMommy it's absolutely better than most expensive brands

Lovely faves the name of the green tea moisturizer is enough to make me add to cart so many amazing features these are great products the ilia lip liner is such a pretty shade! So glad your enjoying these 🫶 @lmaster 

[lmaster]

Thank you!! @peculiarzmakeup 😊

[CynthieLu]

I'm adding that moisturizer to my loves list @lmaster. The price is 👌. Leaves your skin feeling like silk? That's worth investigating. 😃

[lmaster]

Oh it is!! @CynthieLu it was a product @heartsmyface gifted me, and I'm so impressed 

[CynthieLu]

That's fantastic! @lmaster I think I'm going to try it 😉

[AlexBT]

@lmaster Aw such a cute and cozy flat-lay. I've heard great things about those Ilia lip crayons -- I also want to try the REFY Lip Blur Lip Liner, which seems similar to me. I like the idea of "blurred" lip definition to switch things up from my usual lip liner routine.

[lmaster]

@AlexBT now you have those on my radar 🤣 thank you!

[CynthieLu]

Some lovely items made it into your favorites this month @AlexBT I'm a big fan of Glow Recipe's Glow Recipe Cloudberry Bright Essence Toner™ . It's kinda fall themed too just in it's pretty orange bottle, that's a seasonal perk. 🧡😉

For my monthly Roundup I'm focused on what my skins been enjoying during this transition to fall. There have more cold mornings than my skin seems to be ready for. 🍂 

I've been pairing CLINIQUE Moisture Surge™ Overnight Face Mask 3.4 oz/ 100 mL with LANEIGE Bouncy & Firm Eye Brightening Sleeping Mask with Peony + Collagen Complex™ .7 oz / 20 g . It's been an incredibly hydrating combo.

The The Ordinary Multi-Peptide Eye Serum 0.5 oz / 15 mL is a first step after cleansing and before any of my hydrators. I have been enjoying this routine with these 3. My skin feels hydrated when I wake up in the morning and ready for the day. It's less work to put on my makeup when my dry skin is prepped with the extra moisture boost too. 👌

K18 Biomimetic Hairscience AirWash™ Dry Shampoo is a lovely little time saver. It helps me stretch out the time between washes and leaves my hair just smelling fresh but not perfume-y. 💜

And lastly I was gifted this bottle of The 7 Virtues Vanilla Woods Eau de Parfum Travel Spray 0.34 oz / 10 mL by a sweet kind friend , and it's sweet warm notes are a perfect fall transition scent imo. I lean towards gourmands and vanilla often and this is just a little warmer and deep compared to my light summer scents.  It's been so enjoyable. 🏵️

@CynthieLu  great faves, I love that you have found some products that work well for you as we (and our skin) transition into fall and cold weather! I am intrigued by the K18 dry shampoo, I haven't tried it yet but I've heard so many great things here on BIC!

[CorgiMommy]

@CynthieLu great products,  i too am using the LANEIGE Bouncy & Firm Eye Brightening Sleeping Mask with Peony + Collagen Complex™ .7 oz / 20 g .  Still undecided what I think of it.

[PDXXXX]

@CynthieLu I'm in love with the LANEIGE bouncy and plump line but have only tried the eye and lip masks so far, this is such a good reminder to try the face mask sample I have finally! I've been curious having used the K-18 bond repair what the rest of their products are like and always looking for a good dry shampoo so I'm really glad you mentioned it! Finding the best fall scent is sooo comforting- I just ordered the 7 Virtues Santal Vanille and hope I like it as much as you're loving the Vanilla Woods!

[CynthieLu]

I love that your loving the Laneige too @PDXXXX! Isn't the Peony scent yummy?  I enjoy the face mask, over my regular moisturizer it's 👌 when you get to it let me know how it goes? 🩷

The k18 is so handy to have, and I'm a bit picky when it comes to dry shampoo. It's the first one I've been this fond of. It's very true to k18 style thou, less is more. I start small and only add more if I need it. 

Ooh I should put the Santal Vanille on my to try scent list. Let me know how that goes too? 😉

[PDXXXX]

@CynthieLu I will definitely give you the full report when I get the scent 🙂 Aack - now I'm tempted to try more K-18! They should be giving you a commission, girl! 😂

[CynthieLu]

Lol, naww sharing loves on here is always free. 😉💕 @PDXXXX You should definitely try you sample it in store thou!  if you're curious. I love the try before you buy philosophy. And I love being able to skip wash day or prolong it. 😁

[AlexBT]

Great favorites, @CynthieLu! Yes I thought the same thing about the orange-y Glow Recipe bottle! It makes me happy to see it on my bathroom countertop. 🙂

I recently got that Laneige eye sleeping mask as gratis, but haven't cracked it open yet. I'm so glad to hear you love it! 

[CynthieLu]

Thank you. I hope you enjoy it! @AlexBT I really liked the peony scent, and the way it works sooo well paired with a moisturizer. 🩷🌸
