October Beauty Favorites

Hey everyone!  Today I have my October beauty favorites to share, and I'm so excited about this post because I haven't made a favorites post in a few months!  October was a great month, and I tried a few new products that I have fallen in love with.  To find out more about what I've been loving, just keep reading...

Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser - I haven't tried many primers out because the most popular ones tend to be super expensive.  I heard pretty good things about this one, and since it is a drugstore product I wanted to give it a try.  I LOVE IT!  To be honest, I can't really tell if it does erase my pores, but it does smooth out my skin and preps it really nicely for my foundation.  I highly recommend this if you are looking for a really affordable primer.

Maybelline "Maple Kiss" - This has been my everyday lipstick.  I included it in my Fall Nudes post.  I love this nude shade because it has warmer undertones and it pairs perfectly with the eyeshadows I wear on an everyday basis.  To read more about this shade and other nude shades I've been loving for Fall, click here.

Semi-Sweet Chocolate Bar Palette - I've talked about this palette on my blog before, but over October I started using the beautiful gold shade called "Caramel" in the palette.  It's extremely pigmented, and it has great staying power.  It's perfect for that easy golden Fall makeup look.  See my full review and swatches of this palette here.

Real Techniques Cleansing Gel - For a long time I've used baby shampoo to clean my brushes or whatever shampoo and conditioner I'm using at the time.  When I found out Real Techniques was releasing a brush cleansing gel, I knew I wanted to try it out asap.  This stuff is amazing!  You can see it work instantly, and it's very affordable.

E.L.F. Mineral powder brush - I've loved using this brush to blend out my concealer.  It's small enough for the under eye area, and it gives a nice airbrushed look.  I like to blend my concealer out in small circular motions while using a light hand.  It's also extremely cheap!

That's everything I really loved over the month of October!  Have you tried any of these products?  What products have you been loving lately?  Let me know in the comments below!  Thanks for reading and have a great weekend!
