Finally figured out the IGTV shiz, you guys. If you're not following me on Insta, I posted an IGTV sharing my favorite things from October. I usually upload these videos on my YouTube channel but my poor memory card cracked and went to heaven. That wasn't going to stop me... ;)
I'm very picky with beauty products. I love testing out new makeup and skincare but it isn't uncommon for me to not have new favorites every month. October was a little out of the ordinary and I loved several of the new products I tested out. I have a few fashion faves too! I shared everything on my IGTV (minus the two things I forgot about) so as promised, here are all the extra deets...
I love sharing my favorite things with you all. Should you click on or make a purchase through the links in this post, I'll earn some money to keep on shopping! Pretty neat, huh? :)

-BEAUTY-
I think I fell in love with this before I even had my hands on one. Srsly though, YOU GUYS. How freakkkkinnn' cute is this? I love it. I consider it an added bonus that it actually performs well (kidding!) but this palette is amazing. Very cute, great color selection and I love the pigmentation. She also smells super yummy and is so fun for the holidays. Definitely a great gift item!
I love these mini-sized Huda palettes. Her large ones are stunning (I have my eye on this one) but I love how easy and practical the little ones are. I like to carry them in my makeup bag on the go since they're small and compact (perfect for travel). The mattes blend like a dream for an easy everyday look but the shimmers are nice if you want to add some pizazz.
This one is a surprise for me. I bought this last year and was not a fan. My skin has been acting up recently so in an effort to use cleaner products (Josie is very clean), I pulled this out and gave it another go. Since then, it's been a go-to foundation for me. It provides very nice coverage and has a dewy finish. I also love that the lightest shade matches my pale-ass perfectly and isn't too dark. I'm not sure what changed for me but it is good. I'm definitely curious about the new vibrancy concealer now too!
I vibe with the Lawless Beauty vibe. Another amazing luxurious, clean beauty brand. This foundation provides a long-wearing, dewy finish that is full-coverage. It's not joking when it says full coverage. It gives a flawless finish and I love that it's not harmful for my skin.
This bronzer is holy-grail status. It is so so good. This one has a universally-flattering tone that is the perfect shade of bronze: not too orange or muddy. Because it's so neutral, I think it would work well for many skin tones. I'm very fair and sometimes have an issue with bronzers being too orange- this one works well for me and is easy to buff out.
6. Hourglass Arch Brow Pencil
Great shape. Great payoff. Great packaging.
7. Fenty Beauty Liquid Eye Liner
Great shape. Great payoff. Great packaging. ;)

8. Sephora Lashcraft Mascara
I've been really enjoying both the length & volume and the big volume versions from Sephora's Lashcraft mascara line. Both do a nice job at separating the lashes and providing volume without clumping.

9. Burt's Bees Beeswax Chapstick
If I could only keep one lip product for the rest of my life, I would choose this. If it's not broke, don't fix it. Jokes aside, this is my all-time favorite chapstick/lip balm/etc. It hydrates well and is very long-wearing. I usually apply this before bed and it is still on my lips by morning. It just works!

10. Dr. Teal's Bubble Bath
I take a bubble bath every single night to relax and wind down before bed. It's my thing. I really enjoy the Dr. Teal's Bubble Bath line (their epsom salts are also very nice). All of the products are very relaxing and have great bubble pay-off (essential to a BUBBLE bath).

1. Wubbly Fleece Pullover
My new favorite pullover! Super comfy + warm for running errands. I ordered this one (on sale for under $50!) in a size small but found this much cheaper version (like $32!) that I also want to order. I'm thinking of buying the burgundy/"garnet" shade or the maroon.

2. Zella Leggings & Spanx Leggings
I always bust out my leggings once it starts to get a bit chilly outside. My two favorite pairs are these ones from Zella and the Spanx ones. I've been wearing them a ton this month!

3. Adidas Sneakers
I've been obsessed with these sneaks and they go great with my pullover + leggings! This particular style is super lightweight and very comfy to walk in. I sized down a half-size.

4. Earrings
These are beautiful and sparkly! They looked real but the best part is they're super affordable. They come in three color options- silver, gold + rose gold.
