October Favorites!

It's the beginning of the month, so I thought it would be a perfect time to share a few of my favorite and most used beauty products from last month and I just thought this would be a great first post on my new personal fashion blog!

P.S. Ignore that bad image quality. I'm working on getting a better camera!

Here they are:

Solia Tourmaline Professional Ceramic Flat Iron - 1 1/4"

This is the best flat iron I have ever owned! I used to have the regular 1" Solia Professional Ceramic Flat Iron. It lasted me about SEVEN years....SEVEN! I'm a crazy flat iron user. I use it to do lose curls, straighten, everything, almost everyday. Naturally, that one broke of old age. I don't like change much, so I was going to buy the exact same one that broke, but then I started doing research and came across the tourmaline flat iron. It had great reviews, better than my previous flat iron, so I bought it! It was the best decision ever! I bought it off the Solia website - here is the link. You can choose different colors - black, red, purple or pink. It was delivered super fast and I'm very happy with the results. It takes less time to iron my hair because of the difference in length (it's not very much difference but it does help). It's also extremely affordable - about $80, which is the cheapest you'll buy a professional flat iron for. I also love that it will probably last me a long time, much like the last one! The iron came with a heating pouch, which is great while in use and for storage. The iron itself has adjusted heating, ranging from 140 degrees to 440 degrees fahrenheit. I use it somewhere in between the lowest and highest temperature because I just feel like 440 degrees fahrenheit would burn your hair right off. This iron keeps my hair frizz-free for the two days that I don't wash my hair. I love it and I absolutely recommend it!

Lush's Mask of Magnaminty

This is the first Lush face mask that I try. I'm very excited about it. I love the smells and the way it feels during and after I use it! I promise I will post a detailed review soon. :)

Lush's Ocean Salt Face and Body Scrub

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS STUFF! I have sensitive skin, so I can't use it more than once a week but it leaves my face feeling so soft and looking clean and healthy. I have used this once a week for the entire month and definitely recommend it! I will also post a detailed review about this product. :)

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick #740 "Certainly Red"

Something you will quickly learn about me is that I have an obsession with lipsticks and lipgloss. I always have something on my lips (which says a lot, since I play an instrument and often can't have anything on my lips). I love reds pigments, especially for this time of year. Autumn is the time to go darker, at least in my opinion - hair, nails, makeup. Everything gets darker. This red is super pigmented and I love the brightness of the color. It looks great on my skin tone and it stays on for a long time.

Here I am, on Halloween, dressed as 'Red Riding Hood,' with the lipstick (though it's not the best picture, seeing as how it's wearing off by now as I'd just eaten, but it was better than the others).

 Essie's "Foxy"

I love this color and it matches the lipstick above and it's great for this time of year!

Bath and Body Works "Dark Kiss"

I bought this scent a few years ago and, soon after, it got taken off the market. I was so upset! I was shopping the other day and I stopped in Bath and Body Works and there it was! It smells so good, like flowers with a deep sweet scent! You should definitely pop into Bath and Body Works and take a whiff! :) 

I hope you enjoyed my first post. I hope to do these every month, as I find them helpful when others post them and I love to share my monthly findings. :)
