October Favourites

Every month I put together a top 10 of the month where I feature amazing beauty and skincare products that I either newly tried or have been using forever. This month, it’s all about self-love and relaxation. I pulled everything from products I use as part of a spa-like home ritual or for their nourishing and healing powers. Enjoy!

I don’t know about you, but I’ve been on the never-ending search for the perfect black liner. Something that glides on easily, doesn’t rub off, but smudges when I want it to… I mean, my criteria are demanding, but it shouldn’t be impossible, right? I hit the jackpot when I discovered Diorshow Stylo Waterproof Liner, it’s got that matte finish, it’s creamy and the colour is uber vibrant.

Local Pure is a local company that makes some really nice beauty products. I absolutely love their wide tooth comb. I use it in the shower once the conditioner is in my hair. It’s both a ritual I love to spend time doing and it has great effects on hair growth and care. Their new products are launching soon, so it’ll be challenging to grab a comb now, but I loved it so much I thought I’d give it some love here.

IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Undereye Concealer is a full-coverage concealer that works wonders on those dark circles. I use it to cover my tired eyes and to cover blemishes anywhere on my face and neck. It’s waterproof and is infused with a lot of great stuff (think hyaluronic acid, vitamins, collagen, peptides, and antioxidants) so it done more than cover, it also brightens!

LipFuel is part of the Kosasport capsule collection by Kosas. Come winter, this will be THE lip care product I carry with me everywhere I go. It works to moisturize your lips and protect against environmental damage, it is more than a lip balm, it is a hydrating healer.

Selv Rituel for that Rituel Nordique is a calming aroma of both lavender and eucalyptus. Feels like a spa but in your own home, I love the relaxing and soothing effects of engaging in spa-rituals. At a time when it’s go, go, go, I think it’s more beneficial than you realize: a quiet moment to take in a powerful smell of calm.

GM COLLIN created an Intensive Exfoliant that eliminated dead skin and leaves your skin noticeable softer and more toned. It self-activates and is made with micro-nutrients that nourish the skin. I use this twice a week to clean away dead skin. Shop it here & use promocode JULES15 until October 31 and get into the ritual with me!

I don’t know about you, but I get a lot of headaches. It’s something I’ve learned to live with. And without wanted to over-medicate each time I feel a headache coming on, I catch it before it gets too bad with my Saje Peppermint Halo Headache Remedy. I roll it onto my temples, hairline, neck and shoulders for maximum effect.

You know those times when your hair is done and you just aren’t ready to shower it yet? Oribe’s invidible dry hairspray makes that great hair last longer and even gives it some extra volume! Looks like you just got your hair done! I’ve tried a bunch of dry shampoos, but this Dry Texturing Spray is tops.

Necessaire, says to treat your body like your face. And I just love that idea! I picked up the Body Exfoliator in Sandalwood and I love the essential-oil infused exfoliator. It cleans your skin and leaves you feeling soft, smooth, and relaxed. Use promocode 10JULIE and feel the amazing effects for yourself.

If you know then you know, I have a deep love for everything fragrant. Perfumes, candles, aromatherapy… whatever it is, if it has a nice scent, I’m in. That’s why Byredo has been a brand I’ve been in love with since the beginning of time. Young Rose is a perfume that hits notes like Sichuan Pepper, Damascena Rose, and Musk, it is a new twist on a classic romance (or at least that’s what they say).
