Cozy season has arrived, Beauty Insider Community, and I don’t know about you, but I’m more than ready to bundle up! 🐻 October has gone by in a flash, but I still managed to squeeze in my share of shopping time and trying some new (or just new-to-me) products.

@gonerogue That was also my introduction to the brand.  I wasn't a huge fan of the hair oil, I just don't use any hair oil often enough to be crazy about it, but the shampoo, conditioner, mask and hair gloss.... I'm a convert!

I am in love with ALPYN Polishing Peel & Brightening Face Mask with 8 Acids & Huckleberry 1.7 oz/50 mL .  My skin looks better, feels smoother and overall healthier and no harsh side effects.

SEPHORA COLLECTION PRO Foundation Brush #47 makes applying foundation so easy plus the bristles are so soft.

@CorgiMommy Yessss I love this Alpyn mask, too - it saves my skin when I start feeling and looking flaky. My makeup goes on so nicely afterward, too!

October 2025 Monthly Favorites:

💜Sweet Water Decor Hello Fall scented candle - with notes of cider, nutmeg, cinnamon, and cloves, this is one of my favorite scented candles for fall, so I was very happy when the brand came out with this larger version in an adorable pumpkin-shaped container this year! Burning Hello Fall during the fall season is now a tradition for me 2 years running, and one I intend to continue.

💜Mix:Bar Cloud Musk Eau de Parfum - one of my latest full bottle additions, and a new favorite bedtime perfume. It's a lovely soft, warm, woody, spicy scent, very comforting and calming to me. It doesn't last that long or project very much, but it's perfect to spritz on before bed.

💜Glossier Sugar + Spice Balm Dotcom Lip Balm Duo (tag is not showing up) - I've been a Balm Dotcom fan for years, so of course I had to pick up this set of limited edition holiday flavors - and in a cute giftable tin, too! I've been really enjoying them lately - they smell/taste exactly like ginger snaps and peppermint bark! I honestly can't decide which is my favorite of the two.

💜Sephora Collection Lip Sleeping Mask - Caramel Macchiato (tag is not showing up) - I was surprised to see that a lot of the reviews for this product are negative, because I've been really enjoying it. My lips get super dry this time of year, and this has been my overnight savior this month! It lasts all night and leaves my lips feeling soft and hydrated. It's one of my favorite lip masks I've tried so far.

💜Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Alpha Beta® Universal Daily Peel Pads - I have been hoarding a few free samples of these peel pads for a while, and finally tried one for the first time the other day. I was really impressed with the results! I felt like I could actually see an improvement right away with a brighter, more even and less dull tone to my skin afterward. I will definitely be picking up more of these during the Sephora holiday sale!

@caitbird Love this cozy flat-lay! I always forget how much I love the DDG pads until I find a packet in my sample stash and immediately add it to my routine for the night. I should try to use them more consistently...

[missjeanie]

@caitbird I love that you have a bed time fragrance!  I need to borrow this habit!

[caitbird]

@AlexBT  great faves! I've been so curious about the Ouai deodorant, since I love their Melrose Place scent - do you find it lasts well throughout the day?

I've definitely had a variety of favorites this month; will be back to share them here once I've taken a pic! 💜

[AlexBT]

@caitbird I do feel like it lasts, for me at least! I took it on vacation and felt like it held up in the heat, even after walking around all day.

Can't wait to see your own faves!

[starbucksdeluxe]

is the ouai deoderant good

[AlexBT]

@starbucksdeluxe I like it! I also feel like it doesn't get all over my clothes, which is always a plus in my book! 😆
