October favorites

It's the end of the month, which means it's time for my first ever october favorites.
So let's get started..

Rituals yogi flow shower gel
I bought this shower gel this summer after my previous roommate recommended it to me. I've used it every day since and I really love it. It has a fresh, floral scent to it and it feels so soft on my skin. 
Price: €8/200ml
Rituals himalaya wisdom scrub
Same as with the shower gel, I bought this scrub this past summer. I use it about once a week to get the dead skin off of my body. Again it really makes the skin really soft and smooth and it leaves a cooling feel on the skin.
Price: €15/265gr

Vichy normaderm daily scrub
I've been using this facial scrub for the past two years and I haven't found a better one. It's got microbeads in it which helps to exfoliate the skin. It's meant to be a daily cleanser/scrub, but I just like to use it 1-2 a week. 
Price: €13.95/125ml
Bioderma sebium global
This is my second tube of this product and I can only describe this as my hoily grail. I suffer from acne scarring and this has helped so much with smoothing out my skin's texture.
Price: €14.90/30ml
Clarisonic
I've only been using the clarisonic for the past three weeks and I couldn't live without it anymore!! This just cleanses your skin so much better, I've noticed a huge difference in the quality of my skin. My only negative about this would be that it's on the pricier side.
Price: €150

Batiste dry shampoo (tropical scent)
I've never used a dry shampoo before, but since I cut bangs a couple of months ago I really felt I needed to invest in one. I like the scent of this dry shampoo and it does work. The only thing I don't like about it is that it leaves a grey residu in your hair.
Price: €5.99/200ml
Babyliss easycurl curling wand
This is the best curling wand I've ever used. It heats up in a second and it gives the nicest waves to my hair. It only takes me about 10 minutes to do my entire head of hair. 
Price: €50

Urban decay naked 2 
This is my everyday eyeshadow palette. It's got every color you could want in there.
Price: €43 
Revlon colorstay foundation
I've been wanting to buy this foundation for a while now and I finally did it. I've got extremely oily skin and I had heared such amazing things about the lasting power of this foundation. It's a medium to full cover foundation and it blends flawlessly into my skin. 
Price: €14.50/30ml
Mac studio fix powder foundation
Because of my oily skin I like setting my foundation with powder foundation. It helps with the staying power of my foundation and it just gives me that bit more coverage that I like. 
Price: €30/15gr
Mac bronzing powder
I don't like bronzing up my entire face, so I just use this matte bronzer to contour my face. It's just the right color for my skin tone. It's not too mudy and not orange at all as many bronzers tend to be. 
Price: €24.50/10gr
Mac blush in Mocha
This is just the perfect fall color for your cheecks.
Price: €21.50/6gr
Mac paint pot in Soft Ochre
I don't just have an oily face, I also have oily eyelids and to prevent my eyeshadows from creasing I use this as my eyeshadow base. 
Price: €19/5gr
Diorshow iconic mascara
This is the perfect everyday mascara. I doesn't really give a lot of volume to your lashes, but it does lenghten and it seperates my lashes beautifully.
Price: €30.96/8gr
Revlon lipbutter in Pink Truffle
This is my everyday go to natural lip color. I'm pretty sure the revlon lipbutters are marketed as a tinted lipbalm, but I use it more like a lipstick. 
Price: €10.99
Rimmel London Kate Moss lipstick in 107
I bought this lipstick last year and it's my favorite red lipstick. I also think it's the perfect color for fall/winter. It's not one of those bright reds, it's a darker red with a blue undertone in it which automatically makes you teeth look whiter *bonus points*.
It also had amazing staying power. It stayed on my lips all through the day, even through eating and drinking.
Price: €9.99
Maybelline babylips in Fresh Mint
This is the lipbalm I've been using all through the month. I really like that it leaves a cool stinging feeling on my lips. And it does keep your lips hydrated through the day. 
Price: €3.99
OPI You don't know jacques
This is a beautiful, natural brown-greyish color. I think it's just perfect for the fall. And I like the creamy texture of OPI nailpolishes
Price: €13.95/15ml
H&M foundation brush
Dior do a version of this brush and I had been eyeing it for a while. But then I came across this one in H&M, so I didn't waist any time buying it. I have to say it's the best foundation brush I have used so far and I definitely recommend it. It's also way cheaper than the Dior one.
Price: €7.95

L: Revlon lipbutter in Pink Truffle
R: Rimmel London Kate Moss lipstick in 107
