I'm back! It feels like ages since I last blogged. Anyway hope everyone's excited for the weekend, myself I've been off work since Wednesday and I'm at home trying to relax, I feel the flu's slowly but strongly creeping on me because yesterday I experienced one of the worst headaches ever! 

Today's post is a few of my favourites from the month of October. It's not much but these are the things I've sort of  been reaching for more frequently. Firstly, I've been loving my Too Faced medium/deep bronzer (which I use as a setting powder), it smells like chocolate and I can't help but whip it out at random times just to get a whiff of the good smell. As of late I've been loving the L'Occitane foot cream, it's as creamy as a hand cream I once had from the same brand, it applies smoothly to the feet and keep them hydrated, it's perfect for the cold months. It's also been quite a while since I last picked up a magazine seeing as these days one can find pretty much everything on the internet, early October I decided to get ELLE and I've been reading it for inspiration here and there.

What have you been loving in October?

Last month I found myself experimenting quite a lot with beauty products. Firstly I would like to tell you guys about this amazing shea butter hand cream from L'Occitane, it smells and feels divine on the hands, it literally moisturises all cracks and I promise you that your hands will no longer be ashy. This YSL foundation was also featured in my previous 'favourites' post, I'm still loving it and perhaps a review might soon follow if anyone out there's interested; or you could simply watch reviews of it on YouTube. The Essie nail polish is something I tend to return to every now and then, it's especially great for the summer season as is the deep blue from Rimmel London. 

New In | L'Occitane Box

L'Occitane

Recently at the mall I discovered a store that carries a variety L'Occitane products and so I decided to get this box that includes a shower gel (not pictured), foot and hand creams, a perfumed sachet, bar soap and a lip balm. The box came nicely packaged and once I opened it, the scent of a blend consisting of almond oils, honey, fruit extracts and lavender all in one was oozing around my entire room. I can't do the scent justice by trying to describe it here but believe me you that they smell amazing!

L'Occitane en Province is an all organic French brand/company with headquarters in Manosque, France. The company carries products ranging from body, face and home products. All of their products are developed and produced in Manosque and has a majority of it's sources in Provence, in addition to that; the Shea butter used in their products is purchased from women's groups in Burkina Faso. The primary ingredient is the immortelle flower, which apparently has anti-aging properties making the products hype-worthy. The company doesn't test on animals which is a huge plus, I'm not one too deep into the whole animal testing process but it's great to know that their products are all naturally produced. The products are quite expensive but if you're one who likes to pamper themselves and really take care of yourself then I highly recommend these products, not only do they stand to their expectations, but they smell amazing too.
