Oh, spooky season... the spookiest thing is the month just flew by! I've been trying to stay on top of getting my favorites out but the months just blur into one another. Before I know it, it's already the end of another month! This month, I'm featuring some very solid makeup products that I have been using for more than a month now. There may not be many skincare favorites but they are some HUGE and game-changing skincare products! I feel like my skin's future is looking pretty bright with the products I have just discovered. I am looking forward to more cozy days to curl up on the couch in blankets and sweaters. Who's also looking forward to more autumnal days?


October 2021 Beauty Favorites

1. Tom Ford Shade & Illuminate Concealer - These pricey concealers really won me over despite their ridiculous price. I didn't want to love these and based on the price I didn't want to buy these but after testing them out in-store, they were exactly what I've been looking for. These are insanely pigmented, long wearing, and waterproof yet, the formula looks really natural and skin-like when applied lightly. I love that you don't need much product and the consistency is really creamy and bendable. Thes leave a very nice natural finish to the skin and I'm absolutely in love with this formula!

2. Chanel Water Fresh Tint - Back to back months? YEP! It's that good! I don't think this formula is well respected because it is so sheer but it is the finish that it leaves on the skin that can't be mimicked by any other product! I use the Tom Ford Shade & Illuminate Concealer to cover any imperfections, then, I stipple this sheer skin tint all over and I have the most stunning complexion! It leaves my skin with a perfected, yet glowing and natural finish! It looks just like my skin is naturally really healthy and perfect. It doesn't look at all like makeup and I can't get over how stunning the glow is! Seriously, if you're into a weightless, traceless, and seamless minimal base routine, you NEED this! I have a full review here for you to learn more about this formula.

3. Merit Flush Balm Cream Blush - This is also an essential part of my surreal skin routine that I have been doing for about the past month and a half. This blush is so easy to use with its sheer and glossy finish, it just adds the perfect touch of color and lots of glow! On top of the Chanel tint, it just further enhances that naturally healthy and dewy skin look. I started out with just the shade Terracotta but since I started using it so much, I had to pick up Beverly Hills and then, Cheeky. I'm thinking I might need to collect all these blushes. I don't think I appreciated this formula enough until now! I've really embraced my minimalist routine and I just can't see myself reaching for other blushes right now.

4. Saie Sun Melt Bronzer - This glossy bronzer is another crucial part of my complexion routine as of late. I love the balmy and buildable cream formula. It really glides onto the skin effortlessly and leaves the skin with a super healthy bronzy glow! I have been a fan of this formula from the start but I find myself reaching for it so much lately because it is a thing formula. It doesn't feel heavy on the skin and it doesn't look like makeup on the skin. It really gives the most natural and healthy tan! Together with all the products I'm featuring in my favorites this month, this bronzer helps create the illusion of naturally glowing bronzed skin! I have a full review here

5. Lisa Eldridge Elevated Glow Highlighter - I don't think I could love a highlighter more than this one! It is a beautiful mixture of extremely fine micro-pigments and a glossy shine! The thin texture of this formula is what allows it to seamlessly blend into the skin and it just offers the most natural gleam to the skin. You also don't need much of this liquid highlighter to get your glow on. I also love using this all over as a glowing primer. I have three shades and I can't get enough of this highlighter!

7. Guerlain Meteorites in Medium - I HAD to buy another canister of these powder pearls because I missed having it so much! I finished one of these a couple years ago and I just remembered how much I missed the way this powder makes my skin look without creating a powdery finish. This is the ultimate powder for people who hate powder. It just blurs and perfects the skin in ways that other powders don't. The glow is soft and ethereal without adding much reflect or shimmer to the skin. While the limited edition shades are pretty, the original shades are the ones we should all be collecting! This product went from everyone being obsessed with it, to being very underrated. We need to bring the hype back for meteorites!

8. Augustinus Bader The Serum - This brand new serum has quickly found a permanent home in my collection! It is insanely expensive but, I don't know a serum that works nearly as well and as quickly as this one! You will start seeing results almost immediately and it only progressively gets better over time. This serum has firmed my skin in ways I had never experienced with other serums! This potent serum has increased my elasticity to the point where my skin just bounces back no matter how much I move it around! My skin is incredibly supple, soft, and smooth. This serum really does it all when it comes to signs of aging! I couldn't be happier with this formula and it is one I will repurchase again. You can read all about this formula in my review

9. TriPollar STOP Vx - THIS IS THE DEVICE I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR! Wow... I have tried some devices that I really like but there is nothing that can match the results I have seen from this one! This radiofrequency device uses radiofrequency to move the skin cells, creating friction and heating up the skin. The purpose of this is to increase collagen production, it also tones the muscles, and tightens the skin. Let me tell you, IT WORKS! IT REALLY WORKS! While this device is very expensive but you will actually see and feel visible results after your first use and after couple more uses, your skin and face will be transformed! After one week of use (skipping day in between treatments), my jawline was SIGNIFICANTLY toned and looked SIGNIFCANTLY sharper! Also, my skin felt tighter, firmer, softer, and smoother! It really makes your skin look and feel like you just got out of a professional facial! I am working on a review but it will take some time because there is so much information to include. However, I will already say that I HIGHLY RECCOMMEND this device! It will change your life! I did purchase this device but I was give a discount from TriPollar.

10. Mugler Alien Goddess Eau de Parfum - This fragrance was LOVE at first whiff! This fragrance smells like Tom Ford Soleil Blanc but with a distinct vanilla base. This fragrance is intoxicating! It opens with a fresh and fruity burst of bergamot and coconut water. It has a very strong topical burst that almost sometimes smells subtly like banana? It's just a very addicting fragrance and as it moves into the more floral notes of jasmine and heliotrope, it still has the tropical top notes. It then, develops into a richer and more sexy note of vanilla and cashmeran. If you love Soleil Blanc, you're going to love this fragrance. To me, this is a little more of a fall version of Soleil Blanc because of the vanilla note. This fragrance really has all my favorite fragrance nots mixed together. I'm obsessed!
