October Favourites | Fashion, Beauty & Music!

As October is drawing to a close very quickly, I thought it was about time I showed you a few products and things that I've really been liking over this month. October has been super hectic (for me) and so I haven't had a lot of time to indulge in new products and relax/unwind. But there's been a few things that have been very helpful and useful for me.

1. MAC Lipstick 'Velvet Teddy'
This has literally been my holy grail lipstick over the past month. I cannot stop wearing it and I couldn't find a better nude lipstick than this in my opinion. This lipstick has recently been very hyped because 

of Kylie Jenner's nude lips- this being one of her favourite lipsticks. I was actually gifted this for my birthday, and I can honestly say it's one of the best lipsticks I've ever used. At first, I thought it would be too dark of a lipstick for my light skin tone, but it compliments it really well. It's kind of a mix between a dark mauve/pink to a soft nude colour. My favourite part about this lipstick is it's a matte finish, it literally stays on the lips all day (including eating and drinking) and doesn't dry out which is really really cool and I'm extremely impressed.

2. Bleach London Hair Conditioner
I've had this conditioner for quite a while; it's not a recent purchase but throughout October I've really been drawn towards it. My hair has grown a lot and therefore suffers more from split ends and heat damage. I find that this conditioner works really well as a all over deep treatment. It leaves my hair feeling tangle free and very smooth. It's perfect for my frizzy/dyed blonde type and I will continue to use it throughout the next couple of weeks.

3. Oasis Leather Jacket
The next fashion favourite is a leather jacket, a wardrobe staple for me at this time of year. As the weather gets colder and the clothes get darker, this is my perfect opportunity to bring out my leather jacket. I bought this last year from Oasis in John Lewis, because I wanted a real leather jacket that would last me for years and years. I really like the simple silver detailing on the opening and the zips on the arm, I think that toughens it up a little bit and I much prefer it to gold hardware. It's a really cool piece that compliments a lot of the outfits that I wear and I've really been enjoying wearing it.

4. New Balance '574' Black Trainers
My final fashion favourite is a new pair of trainers. I bought these in late September, and I honestly cannot take them off my feet. Their on par with Converse trainers in terms of comfiness. I really like how they're all black, and I really like how the new balance label is very subtle. I was originally drawn to these because I wanted a new pair of 'winter' trainers if you like. These are more of a smart trainer, ones that I wouldn't wear with a dress or denim shorts for example. They fit really nicely and I think they're really really cool and sleek.

5. Chris Brown Album 'X'
This is my last favourite; a music favourite. I've always been a fan of Chris Brown's music, but his new album is literally on another level. I literally listen to it every single day on Spotify. His music is so easy to pick up on and listen to, I love the whole image of him in general. Some of my favourite tracks would be 'Add me In', 'X', 'Stereotype' and 'Drunk Texting'. If you like classic soul/R&B and a bit of hip hop, then this is the perfect album for you.
