Favorites of October

October is nearly coming to an end, I figured I'd show you my favorites for the past month, which include beauty favorites, makeup, fashion, and even music. I was so inspired to make this post by a lot of beauty gurus on YouTube, and I decided to post my first every product reviews. Hope this will help you find something interesting!


Here are some of my favorites of the month, I will list them randomly:


1. Sinful Colors nail polish in #282
2. H&M three-piece bracelets
3. Etude House Dear Darling Tint in #03 (Real Red)
4. Yankee Candles (Strawberry & Fresh Cut Roses)
5. Sally Hansen Cuticle Massage Cream
6. Innisfree No Sebum Mineral Powder
7. Planner from Scoop
8. Smith Western's 'Soft Will' album

---------------------------------------------------------------

I'm going to do a brief review on each of the products:

1. Sinful Colors nail polish in #282


Just a beautiful sheer coral blue with a hint of glitters nail polish my cousin gave me from USA. Definitely reminds me of the movie Aquamarine. We simply cannot resist the beauty of this color. It's like magic in a bottle, almost.

2. H&M three-piece bracelets


Before I bought these bracelets, I had been looking for the perfect sized bracelets like these. Not too exaggerated, but still gives the perfect addition to my wrists. I was looking around H&M and then I found these! It's quite inexpensive and it's just the perfect design. It costs IDR 59.000 which is a pretty good deal if you get three bracelets at once. At first I thought I only got two, but when I looked inside my bag, it turned out that there was another one. They're lovely and they go perfectly if you wear them all at once.

3. Etude House Dear Darling Tint in #03 (Real Red)


Okay so I had been looking for a good lip product, since I have fairly pale lips. I finally got my hands on the nude NYX matte lipstick. It was the perfect shade, but not the perfect shade for my lips. The nude color just completely washes out my face. So I figured that I needed a deeper, perhaps darker color for my lips. I was also looking for a lip product without some kind of weird texture or shine, which is why I went for the matte lipstick. A while ago I found out about this product that people had been raving about. Yes, the one and only lip tint. I know Benefit sells all kinds of tints, but Benefit's products are ridiculously expensive, so I just wouldn't give up my money on something unnecessarily expensive. Luckily, I found this lip tint from Etude House online for a cheap price (IDR 60.000). The moment I applied it onto my lips I was very happy and overwhelmed. It absorbs into my lips right away without leaving any weird texture. I love love love the color of this. The color is very natural, you can build it up until you get the desired red color, or you can just apply a little layer and it'll just look absolutely natural. I love this product. Totally will repurchase.


4. Yankee Candles (Strawberry & Fresh Cut Roses)


Unfortunately I took off the plastic off the candles, so they look less attractive now... As you can see I've only used a little bit, but I also have been using another scented candle which I purchased at ACE Hardware.
I have always loved scented candles to death! They give my room such a good vibe and whenever I lit up my scented candles, I always feel like I'm in a different place. I particularly like sweet scents such as the ones that I have here, but every time I sniff every scent in the store I want to get my hands on all those babies. I just feel very happy when my room smells divine.


5. Sally Hansen Cuticle Massage Cream


I love love love this cream. Extremely moisturizing, and smells really delicious (yes, I did say delicious. Delicious as though I want to eat it). I have very dry cuticles and fingers in general, so the skin around my nails just starts to peel off and so uncomfortable to look at, even painful at times. So I was looking for a good intense moisturizing cream and saw this cuticle cream at Watsons's. I was pretty optimistic about this product because Sally Hansen products are specially made for nails and hands in general. So I got it, and the first time I used this I noticed a huge difference. My dry skin was nearly gone. I have been using this every single day and now my cuticles are super smooth. Definitely recommended if you're looking for a good cuticle cream.


6. Innisfree No Sebum Mineral Powder

I have a very oily skin. And this powder gets the job done pretty well. It is a mineral loose powder with a refreshing mint-y sensation, feels very nice on my skin. My skin is left extra soft, and it does absorb the oil on my face. The powder is white, but you don't need to worry about it. It is very transparent and won't leave any white cast on your face. I personally like the packaging, it's small so it can fit in a pouch, and it's small, but you get quite a lot of product in there. Just a very light powder that you can even wear to school.  


9. Planner from Scoop


Got this uber cute planner from Scoop, a store in Lippo Mall Kemang. If you love pastel colors, anything floral, or everything cute in general, this store is heaven on earth for you. The store is packed with loads of adorable stuff. 
Anyway, about the planner. This planner contains everything you could possibly need. A yearly planner, monthly planner, weekly planner, notes, everything is basically in there. Just the perfect planner for me, since I like to write everything down. They also come in different designs and colors.


8. Soft Will - Smith Westerns


This album isn't exactly my October favorite, it's my all time favorite album. Just thought I needed to show the world how brilliant this album is. Kind of reminds me of fall, actually (although I don't live in a four seasoned country, ha).I am genuinely in love with all the songs in this album, very beautifully written and the music is very soothing, definitely better than their previous album, 'Dye It Blonde'. This album is so perfect causing me to get all emotional every time I listen to the songs. Go look it up and you'll thank me later. Soft Will is perfection. No Joke. Period.

Here is the track listing of the album:

1.  3 A.M. Spiritual
2.  Idol
3.  Glossed
4.  XXIII
5.  Fool Proof
6.  White Oath
7.  Only Natural
8.  Best Friend
9.  Cheer Up
10. Varsity
