5 favourites – October

Happy halloween. I’m going to end October with a halloween date with my boyfriend. We’re going to watch The Nightmare Before Christmas, which is very fitting, since we are only a month away from December now, and I’m so, so, so excited for Christmas! I had lots of favourites this past month, but I managed to narrow it down to five, so here goes.

Purple corduroy trousers: As you might have noticed (and I have mentioned) I’ve been obsessed with everything purple this year, and especially the last couple of months. I’d been wanting a pair of purple high waist wide leg trousers for so long, and these Monki ones are perfect, and I’ve worn them a lot. So stay tuned for many more purple looks.

Purple, christmassy sock slippers: It has definitely gotten colder outside, and I’m often cold, so I’ve been wearing these sock slippers (I dont’ know if that’s a thing) almost every day around the apartment. I know they have Christmas trees and snow flakes on them, but because they’re not traditional Christmas colours, I thought I could start wearing them a little early:)

Jeffree Star Cosmetics hand mirror: I didn’t think I would love a hand mirror this much, but I do my make-up very early in the morning when it’s now completely dark outside, and this mirror has been perfect to do my eye make-up in. I do have a standing mirror on my vanity, but it can be difficult to get close enough to my face, especially when I’m only relying on artificial light, so this mirror has been a huge help. And this was the last purple item (at least in this post).

Celestial Seasonings Candy Cane Lane green tea: I’m obsessed with everything that smells or tastes like candy cane and peppermint, and this tea is so delicious. It’s decaffeinated, so it’s been my go-to evering tea.

Disney+ (streaming service): I debated with myself whether I should get Disney+ or not, even though I’m a huge Disney fan, but then my sisters asked me if we should get it together, and I said yes immediately, and it was the best decision. I’ve watched so many different things on Disney+ already and there’s still so much more, I’m exicted to watch.

Gorgeous metallic lime

Warm, autumnal

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. Of course I had to match my make-up to my outfit and created this warm, autumnal look. That metallic burgundy lipstick is so pretty!

Subtle golden eyes

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. It’s the first eye look I did with the Jeffree Star Mini Orgy palette, and as I wrote in the haul, I was a little disappointed in some of the shades. I wanted them to be more pigmented. However, I do think this is a pretty, subtle golden eye look, and I’m obsessed with this red lip.

A break from purple?

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. Am I going to take a break from wearing purple everything soon, you might ask. The answer is clearly no:)

The other way around

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. Instead of wearing grey on the eyes and purple on the lips, I decided to do it the other way around, since I hadn’t worn a grey lipstick in quite a while.

Beautiful blend

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I love this look! The metallic orange and yellow eyeshadows blended together beautifully, and the frosty orange lipstick was a perfect match to the eye look.

Room for blue

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. In between all the purple eye looks, there’s definitely room for a blue one.

Jeffree Star Cosmetics haul

I have a Jeffree Star Cosmetics haul to share with you today. I purchased these items when the Orgy collection launched, so I’ve had them for a while now, and I’ve used most of them.

I decided not get the Orgy palette and only get the Mini Orgy palette. As a colourful make-up lover this collection didn’t really speak to me, and I’m not a fan of the concept of doing an all matte palette and an all glitter/metallic palette, but I do love a good glittery/metallic eyeshadow, hence why I picked up the Mini Orgy palette. I’ve only used this palette once so far, and I was actually a little disappointed. I used the top row, and the only nice shade was Champagne Drip. The others lack pigmentation. Hopefully the rest of the shades are better.

The other product I purchased from the Orgy collection is the Magic Star luminous setting powder in Translucent. I also purchased the original Magic Star setting powder in Fair, which I’ve been loving so much (I featured it in my 5 favourites post from September). I’ve only used the luminous setting powder once or twice so far, and I’m not quite sure how to use it properly yet.

I’ve also bought another Velour liquid lipstick from the Shane Dawson collaboration collection. This is a hot pink called Jeffree, What the Fuck?.

And last, but not least, I’ve purchased one of the hand mirrors. I chose the glittery purple one, since I love glitter and purple is my favourite colour, and I’ve done my make-up in this mirror pretty much every day since I received it. It’s very lightweight, and the quality is very nice.

Stunning blue silver glitter

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. The blue silver shade (I’m not sure how to describe the colour) on my eyelids is one of the most stunning glitter eyeshadows I’ve seen. All the shades in the Huda Beauty Mercury Retrograde palette are stunning to be honest.

(Base: primers – Wet n Wild Photofocus face primer matte + MAC Strobe Cream (shade: Pinklite), foundation – Maybelline Dream Urban Cover foundation (shade: 100 Warm Ivory), concealer – L’Oréal Infaillible More Than Concealer (shade: 322 Ivory), powders – e.l.f. HD Undereye setting powder in Sheer + Rimmel Stay Matte Long Lasting Pressed powder (shade: 001 Transparent). Face make-up: bronzer – Fenty Beauty Sun Stalk’r – Instant Warmth bronzer (shade: Inda Sun), blusher – MAC Mineralize blush in Modest Blush, highlighter – Ofra Cosmetics x Nikkietutorials Glazed Donut highlighter. Eye make-up: base – MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Painterly, eyeshadows – Essence eyeshadow in 05 Granny Pants + Huda Beauty Mercury Retrograde eyeshadow palette (shades: Off Balance + Nebula + Cosmic) + MAC Nylon eyeshadow, mascara – L’Oréal Paradise Extatic mascara, eyeliner – NYX Faux Whites eyeliner in Seashell. Eyebrows: Maybelline Brow Ultra Slim pencil in Medium Brown + e.l.f. Clear Brow & Lash Mascara. Lips: L.A. Girl Perfect Precision lip liner in Pinky + MAC Barbiestyle lipstick)
