October Favorites!!

Well Halloween has come and gone, so that means it's time to share my October favorites with you!!!

From Left to Right: Revlon Matte Lipstick in Soft Nude, OPI Nail Lacquer in Not Like The Movies, Elf Cream Eyeliner in Teal Tease, Hard Candy Stroke of Gorgeous Eyeliner in Little Black Dress and MAC's Parlor Smoke Palette.

 Let's start with lipstick, this month I liked Revlon's Matte Lipstick in Soft Nude. It's one of their more popular shades and once you start messing around with it you can see why... It's a nice color for everyday, so it's pretty versatile, not only for that reason, but you can also add some lipgloss over it and you can create all kinds of looks with it!

 Next up is nail polish, I picked OPI's Not Like the Movies from the Katy Perry collection that came out early 2011. I knew I had to have this color the moment I saw it on Amarixe's youtube video on the collection (thank you Amarixe!). It's a very tricky color to describe... It's a sheer silver color, but it has a green/purple sheen to it depending on the lighting. I like to call this the Northern Lights of nail polish haha :D

Onto eyeliners, first off being Elf's Cream Eyeliner in Teal Tease. I saw this online one afternoon and it looked like a cool color to have just to be funky with, so I bought it. This color is definitely bold enough to stand alone :D

Next eyeliner on the list is Hard Candy's Stroke of Gorgeous felt tip liner in Little Black Dress. This I saw at Walmart and thought the name was cute, then when I saw it was a felt tip liner I bought it without a second thought. I love a good a felt tip liner, and it's perfect to me. I've used Maybelline's Stiletto felt tip liner and it doesn't create quite as fine lines as this liner does. Thumbs up to Hard Candy for making a felt liner that works better than Maybelline's and for about 3 bucks less! :D

The big finale is MAC's Parlor Smoke palette, I believe it's one of the fall collection palettes. I saw it on Amarixe's blog I believe (thanks again Amarixe) and I fell in love with this palette the second I got it in the mail! The colors in this palette are Parlor Smoke (a purple frost), Cross Cultural (a matte brown), Indigo Noir (a matte purple/blue) and Steel (a nice shimmery blackish grey color).
