October Favourites

After a really full week that made it impossible for me to post anything (sorry!), I'm back with my monthly favourites.
I've got a lot of lovely new things to show you, so let's begin!

Smashbox Cherry Smoke Photo Op Eye Shadow Palette
A versatile palette with gorgeous fall shades but also a set of cooler ones making it perfect for every look and every season. The two bigger shades are gorgeous and the pinky mat one makes the perfect base for a smooth application of the other shades!
These eyeshadows are all buttery soft, they almost feel creamy and the pay off is amazing with no fallout. A total winner!
You can see it on me in this instagram picture.

Dior Diorskin Star Concealer
Here it is, my new favourite concealer. It covers amazingly looking absolutely natural and is so hydrating for the under eye area without creasing. You can read my review here, where I talk about the Star Foundation too alongside a new Rouge Dior Baume.

YSL Black Opium
Vanilla and coffee.
It's pretty much all I have to say about this gorgeous fragrance that made me fall in love at first sniff: the coffee is pretty strong at first, but stays there even when the fragrance dries down to the most sofisticate vanilla scent. My new favourite!

Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate
I was given a sample of this a couple of months ago, and I started using it every night. When the sample run out (after an impressive amount of uses!), I managed to resist only a couple of days without running to the store.
It so pleasant to apply as the dry oil consistency feels amazing on the skin and the lavender smell is so relaxing, but what sold me on this is my skin in the morning: soft, hydrated, luminous... It's the perfect nigh time treat!

Alpha-H Daily Essential Moisturizer SPF 50+
This is the product I was less excited about when I picked up the Alpha-H Discovery Collection from Cult Beauty - you can read my haul and first impressions in this post! -.
What's so amazing about this product is that it dries mat in spite of the really high spf but isn't runny like most of similar products from other brands. I like that has a really creamy consistency as it manages to hydrate my skin but the mat finish makes it a great base for makeup... And I've got my face spf sorted! I cannot recommend it enough.

Have you tried any of these products? What have you been loving this month?
