november beauty favourites

November Beauty Favourites – early, for the very first time! I have to get cracking on the Christmas Gift Guides so I thought I’d do my favourites before they got forgotten. There’s a nice little skincare mix, a couple of great makeup products and a really creepy book recommendation. I ploughed through this particular novel at night when I was doing my numerous breastfeeding sessions and it really did send chills up my spine. I was so freaked out by one of the narrative voices (you’ll know which one when you read it) that I couldn’t stick my feet out from under the duvet, even though I was sweltering hot. (I’ve never been able to stick my feet out if I’m scared, it’s a ridiculous superstition that started when I was little and I’ve never managed to shake it.)

I digress. Get comfy, press play – products are listed below the video screen. If you want to browse previous monthly favourites videos then please click here.

Oh – lots of people asking me to do a tutorial on this eye look. It’s actually a bit wonky because I was just playing about with some Chanel products and not really concentrating that hard, but if I get a chance I’ll re-do it and film. It’s the AW palette, blended into a smokey eye, with black kohl smudged around the lashline and inside the waterline and two coats of Ultra Noir mascara to finish it off.
