October Fabs&Drabs

Fab    -    short for fabulous, generally used by teens or young women who are part of the 'in' crowd
Drab    -   totally useless and boring, describing anything lifeless and boring

That basically addresses the gist of this post... October favourites, and the not so favourites - the fabs and drabs! There isn't really much of list but at least there is a few things I can tell you all about.

Firstly, I will start with my absolute favourite product this month and something I need to repurchase soon. The Original  Source Vanilla and Raspberry shower gel! Oh my god. If you have ever been into a Peter Alexander store, this pretty much smells like the store does as soon as you walk in. So perfect and sweet! It's also a vegan product which is pretty dandy. 

This mascara is my go to mascara now. I love it! Maybelline the Falsies BigEye mascara, it has two little spoolie things and the formula is quite volumising. The smaller spoolie is perfect for lower lashes and, obviously, the larger one for the top lashes. The smaller wand is perfect for separating top lashes as well.

  

The nude basics palette from Models Prefer has lasted me such a long time! Given, I mainly use the lightest colour as a highlight and the darker matte brown to line the bottom lash line - but the colours are really great! They are also long lasting and don't crease which is also a mega plus.

NYX matte lipstick - where have you been this entire time?! I am not a fan of lipsticks but this one has been my absolute favourite and I think if I had bought this ages ago, I would be a bit lipstick junkie. Its the MLS06 Summer Breeze lipstick, and the colour is amazingly pink! Almost like a barbie pink? Anyways, amazing colour and lasts a long time too.



 Now, I have a few items that aren't beauty related but that's no big deal, I have been loving these things a lot this past month, or two. Firstly, Yankee candles. I found a place on the Coast that actually sells them and I need to buy more. I currently have the vanilla cupcake one and it smells so good! I find myself burning it all the time, I am obsessed! My last favourite for this month are these beautifully written books by Beau Taplin (beautaplin.com). I finished Hunting Season and The Wild Heart the other week before the latest book, Playing with Fire was released and they are just perfect. I strongly recommend these books.

 I only have one product that I didn't like this month - the Protane Moroccan Argan Oil Hydrating shampoo. I bought it for, like, $4 at Aldi, thinking the moroccan argan oil would do wonders for my hair. Well, was I wrong. Even though it's a hydrating shampoo - it dried out my hair? A little confusing, right? So basically, it made my hair feel horrible, I only used it maybe once or twice before I got rid of it. Although, the conditioner that came with it is really good, and my hairdresser said my hair has been really good since I used it, so I'm not really sure what is going on there.

Do you suggest any products that I can try out this month that could possibly be added to the next fabs&drabs list?
