Hi guys! I decided to jump on the 'monthly favourites' wagon and base today's post on my October favourites.

First up is the Rich Moisturiser by Simple. This is a great product, hence why I'm already on my second bottle. I apply this straight after washing my face, and it honestly leaves it feeling smooth and replenished. It does exactly what it says on the bottle; it's kind to skin and it also has vitamin E and pro-vitamin B5 to helps the skin stay smooth and soft throughout the day. There are no artificial perfumes which I particularly like in creams, as I know there aren't any chemicals that could upset my skin; especially since I have quite a sensitive one.


Next, is the Clarins Eau Ressourçante which might not suit everyone's budget, but I personally thought it was worth the buy. Its smell is absolutely divine! It's made from essential oils with treatment benefits which leave you feeling relaxed and as though you've just come out from a spa. Plus, Clarins always opts for natural ingredients instead of using chemical ones which is mainly why I buy Clarins products because it's good for the skin! And you get 3 free samples every time you place an order on their website, so that's always a bonus!


These oil slick tassel loafers are probably at the top of my October favourites list. They're Jasper James from TK Maxx and I think they were £29.99 (I can't quite remember). They are so comfy and every time I wear them, everyone I come across is always like 'I love your shoes!!'. They're dope.



My Zara leather jacket! It's an authentic leather biker jacket which I bought three years ago (I think!), but have only just started to properly wear it. I usually wear this with my black jeans and a casual top or with a dress to rock it up a bit. You can find a similar one here.


Last but certainly not least is my new kitten!! My cat gave birth to this little cutie in Spetember and even though it wasn't in October, I decided to include him in this month's post because 1) I hadn't done one before, and 2) because I simply can't get enough of him. Choosing his name was tricky, because we just couldn't decide on one. My brother wanted to name him Oreo, my mum and dad thought of White Socks and I thought of Snape and Jon Snow. In the end we ended up naming him Jon Snow because it suits him and also because his mum is called Arya (which is also a character in Game of Thrones). So we decided to keep the theme, just like the Kardashians.

I hope you all enjoyed my October favourites! I'd love to hear some of your favourites from last month; so drop me a comment below.

Until next time!

So after having looked at my blog, I knew it was missing something. And that something turned out to be some beauty tips! Therefore, I will occasionally write up some posts including some beauty and skincare tips and reviews that I hope would come in handy for you guys!

With the winter season upon us, I sometimes feel that my face is at its most vulnerable stage due to the harsh wind that could end up leaving my skin rough and certainly dry as well. That's why, I decided to make this first skincare post about some of the creams I use to treat my skin.

First up is Olay Essentials Night Cream 


This products is for normal dry and oily skin, and when I first purchased this product I had my doubts, as I wasn't too sure if it would make my skin smoother. However, once I started applying it every night, I found that on the morrow my skin felt smoother even after the first try!

It also sinks in the skin really fast which I liked, because it didn't leave my skin feeling sticky. This night cream also doesn't smell of anything, so it didn't actually bother me during the night. Definitely a must have!

2. Olay Essentials Day Cream


This cream was definitely fair priced, and its texture on your skin is really comforting. As soon as you apply the cream, it leaves it feeling moisturised and healthy. Very much like the night cream, it's fast sinking and doesn't smell too strong. It also has a SPF15 and has anti-oxident Vitamin E. Definitely one of my favourite day creams, which is why I went for the 100ml rather than 50ml like I had done the first time I bought it.

3. Botanics Day Cream


Now this is the first time I am trying the Botanics range in face creams and I have honestly high hopes for this product, as it has been extracted from plants. And in this case, the Hibiscus plant which helps increase cell renewal. So far, I am quite happy with this product.

It's colour is quite nice (it's got a soft pinkish and purplish colour - similar to that I am using for the link page) which I quite liked. It certainly smells nice too and the texture is not too heavy either. Once applied on my skin, I can instantly feel the hydrating feeling I experience with the Olay product, but the difference with this is that I can also feel it under the surface of my skin too which is great! It's quite cooling and when I rub my hands over my face, I can feel it softer than it had been before I applied the cream on. It also leaves my face looking brighter, which is what is stated on the bottle and so I'm overall happy with this product.

4. Botanics Night Cream



The only problem I have with this product is its smell during the night. It takes a bit of time to fully sink into my skin and so the smell of the cream is left hovering around my nose which could be quite dizzying at times. However, it does its job and leaves my face feeling soft and smooth just like I expected. But, I think that once I finished the bottle, I rather buy the Olay Night Cream than this one again.

Let me know if you've tried any of these brands and if you liked them. It would be cool to know what creams you guys use, and if you recommend them.

Until next time!
