I'm a few days late, but I really wanted to share my October favorites. It is always hard to pick favorites, as I usually prefer to sleep than apply makeup anyway, but this month, I had clear winners! I was hoping to do a video, but I just haven't been able to figure out a good setup... So until I figure that out, I'll just have to stick to regular posts! :)This month, I really fell in love with everything Burberry, but I made myself choose...

The standouts of the Burberry lineup for me so far are the eyeshadows and Lip Covers. The eyeshadows are divine - there's a natural, skin-like quality to them that just amazes me! Dark Sable just gives me beautiful definition, and Antique Rose surprised me with how easy it was to wear a slightly pink eyeshadow. I'm dying for more shadows, and Pale Barley, Almond, and Midnight Brown are at the top of the list. I can't wait, because these are exactly what I want in an eyeshadow these days!

I am also wowed by the Lip Cover formula. My lips are always quite dry, and they get worse and worse in the course of a cold day. Burberry Lip Cover actually helps my lips retain their moisture, so after I apply, I still maintain the same level moisture. Even the bright shades I chose feel and look natural, as if I wasn't wearing any makeup at all. I'm in LOVE.

On the Becca front, I've hardly had the chance to use these Eye and Beach Tints. But so far, the shades (Baroque and Grapefruit) are quite natural and gorgeous for everyday wear. (Woohoo!) Baroque has been great for contour/crease definition and Grapefruit is just a pretty, pretty pink. YAY! :)This month, I also enjoyed Real Techniques brushes. So many great shapes, and so affordable too! I'm liking the Core Collection, wanting to keep the Starter Kit, and still enjoying the others I've had from the line.

As a long time eyeshadow fiend, I always enjoy a good eyeshadow brush. The Ecotools 1203 eyeshadow brush is seriously a drugstore standout. This densely packed brush picks up all shadows so easily and really packs a punch. I also love the quality of the Too Faced Essential 3 Piece Set - the fluffy brush makes any shadow a beautifully natural highlight, and the mini one is my go to brush for lining and smudging my eyes. I wish this was available to purchase on its own!

So there you have it! What do you think of this month's picks? Have you tried any of these, or any related recommendations? What were your October favorites? :)

Last week, I ordered this Becca value set from Sephora when the F&F sale started. (Wish I could've gotten an in store coupon, but that's another story. Suppose I can wait for the upcoming VIB sale!) I was SO excited when this kit arrived, as I had wanted to try Becca products for quite a while. The kit itself includes a full size Resurfacing Primer, The Ultimate Mascara in Black, Beach Tint in Grapefruit, Eye Tint in Baroque, and a half ounce Shimmering Skin Perfector in Opal. Since I had wanted to try the beach and eye tints and had been debating over the Shimmering Skin Perfector, I figured this was the perfect opportunity!

So far, I am LOVING the products in this kit. The Eye Tint in Baroque is such a beautiful everyday eye color, and the Beach Tint is gorgeous on cheeks as well. I definitely am happy I bought this, and will share in depth reviews in the next week or so.

I think this would be a great kit to pick up for a holiday gift (for yourself, perhaps?) and it seems like others think so too! Unfortunately, the kit is currently out of stock on Sephora.com BUT it is a great value, so keep your eye out for it.

What do you think of this kit? Have you tried any of these Becca products? I'd love to know your favorites! :)
