♦ BEAUTY

Rimmel ScandalEyes Eyeshadow Stick (003 - blackmail) - I purchased this product three months ago, but I didn't really like it on the first try. Now, I can say that I'm addicted to it. Even though is black, when you blend it, it tends to become grey and if you want the black you should put layers and layers of eyeshadow on your eyelid. But I like it anyway: it's easy to blend and it lasts 2/3 hours.

Recently, I've been watching/reading so much about lipliner pencils, and I said to myself 'buy one! Try one and see if it really makes that big lips effect' - and it does. I bought the Deborah Milano Lipliner Pencil 01 and O-M-G my lips change completely. It's a baby pink colour and it's easy to apply, but it has one flaw: it tends to dry your lips. That is why I use it with the Rimmel Kate Lasting Finish Lipstick 03, which is kind of a vintage pink, and this helps to maitain my lips moisturized. Anyway, this two are a great combo! 

♦ ACCESSORIES 

H&M Black Bag with Studs - I purchased this bag more than a year ago, when I was in Florence. I used it for awhile, until I get bored of it and I wanted a bigger bag. Then, a few months ago, I was looking at this beautiful black bag with gold studs and I said to myself 'why did I abandoned you?'. And yes, now we are inseparable. 

♦ MUSIC

Okay, I'm sure that those who regularly read my blog, know that I love love love Taylor Swift. At the end of October, her album, 1989, came out and my brother gave it to me for my birthday. Needless to say how obsessed I was for the past three weeks with this album (and still am).

♦ HOME 

Ikea Candle, Green Apple Scented - aah, this candle is heaven. The second later you've turned it on, you can immediatly smell that green apple scent.

The Lipton Vanilla Caramel Tea screams autumn! I'm not a huge fan of black teas, but I really like this one. I was looking for the Twinings Salted Caramel Tea but then I remembered that I live in Italy and it's impossible to find something that it's out of the ordinary (lemon tea, green tea, ...). BUT this is a great alternative! And the tea sachets are pyramid-shaped.

She Is Showing Us Incredible Things.

She did it again. 

I've been listening to this album for the past five days and I don't have enough words to express how much I do love it and how much I love Taylor. 

Taylor Swift's been in my life for the last five years and this means I was kind of a fetus when I first started listening to her songs. She's an incredible songwriter, singer, human being.

1989 is by far different from her recent albums, the sound is new -completely pop- and some people like it and some people don't - I'm one of those who freakin' adore it. 

My favs are Out of the Woods, I Know Places, Style, Blank Space & Bad Blood, but the only one that gives me goosebumps is definitely the first one that I mentioned!

Oh, and last but not least: polaroids! I think I was the only one who thought that they were only in the deluxe edition... mmm. So, I was pretty excited (and surprised) when I found them!

October Favourites | 2014

♦ BEAUTY

The Rimmel Salon Pro Urban Purple Nail Polish is by far the best nail polish I have ever had. It's easy to apply, it lasts pretty long and the colour is just gorgeous. 

Deborah Definitive Volume Mascara is THE mascara. The pipe cleaner is made of elastomer and it's easy to apply. It's probably the first mascara that doesn't stick my lashes and really gives volume. 

I've heard so many good opinions about the Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation and that's why I bought it! First thing first, I'm not a huge fan of foundation, I do prefer to have no make up on my skin, especially because I'm a glass wearer (yep, I'm pretty blind) and I have oily skin and let me say it's pretty annoying that feeling of foundation and oil on your nose, when you have glasses on. So, I like this foundation, a lot - it lasts for hours, it doesn't irritate my skin (also have sensitive skin) and it's good even if you have oily skin. That's great, isn't it?

I have this one in 'True Ivory'.

Needless to say how much I love my Tangle Teezer. It's my hair saviour, seriously! It detangles your hair beautifully and I have noticed that it rips off less much hair than other hair brushes do.

Last but not least, the Miss Broadway Eyeliner. I think it's the best eyeliner I've ever had. It lasts for so long, it's waterproof and most important it's easy and quick to apply.

♦ CLOTHES

I've been wearin' this H&M Jersey Top for all this passed month. It's just a basic top but I really like it. I often wear it with this Flannel Shirt which I LOVE. Everybody needs of a flannel shirt in their wardrobe. 

♦ MUSIC

X by the talented Ed Sheeran has been the soundtrack of my October. I love him and if you don't, you should.

Oh, since I like to listen what people of the world have to say, I will share with you some of the YouTubers that I have enjoyed to listen/watch this month:
