Firstly, can I just say what the hell?! When did we get into OCTOBER? Like... there is only three months to go for 2014. I have about 4 weeks of uni left for the year. Crazy. Anyways, as usual I have my monthly beauty favourites. I have tried to curb my spending lately and make the most of the products I have at home so expect for the next couple of months to be current collection type posts! 

Let's jump straight into what I've been loooovin'!

NYX Powder Blush in Taupe: It took me forever to track this shade down because unfortunately they didn't bring it to Target when they started stocking NYX (I don't understand why because it's one of their most popular items?). It's basically a fantastic contour shade for my chubby cheeks. It isn't too warm and gently creates a shadow where I want to add one. I don't find this one powdery at all, unlike their regular blush shades.

Essence Bloom Me Up! Highlighter: Essence has an amazing range of affordable products but they seriously have AMAZING highlighters. This highlighter is part of their newest collection and it is a soft pinky, champagne highlighter. When swatched it doesn't have crazy glitter just adds a subtle glow to the face. Been reaching for this instead of my regular highlighters. 

Makeup Geek eyeshadow in Peach Smoothie: I just did a review of my little MUG collection here and I talked about this one and mentioned it was one of my favourites. I have literally used this everyday. It makes a fantastic transition colour and is so easy to blend. It's a soft peachy orange shade. 

DUO Dark-tone Eyelash Glue: I had some cheap eyelash glue from Kmart and it didn't really do much. I always felt my eyelashes would come off or that it would make my eyes water. I purchased this one a couple months ago and finally decided to start wearing the pile of falsies gathering in my draw and I was pleasantly surprised. It went tacky faster than my other one and held on!

NARS Sheer Glow in Deauville and Beauty Blender: It's not secret I absolutely love this foundation but this month I have been obbbbsessed with it. Particularly with my Beauty Blender! It provides an amazing flawless coverage and looks so smooth on my face! I understand the hype with the Beauty Blender now and adore using it for my foundation! 

MAC Myth lipstick: I don't really own any nude lipstick from MAC and I decided to purchase this one on recommendation from the lovely Nikki Tutorials! It is a little too light for my complexion, but paired with a either a lip liner or a coloured gloss it looks amazing on. Perfect everyday nude! This one is super smooth and soft on the lips.

Whitening Lightning / Gerard Cosmetics Coral Craze lipgloss: I'm soooo glad I purchased this lipgloss. It is the perfect soft coral, peach colour. It looks amazing on top of Myth lipstick. I will have a full review on my WL/GC lipgloss collection coming next so I won't ramble. But yeah, I love them.
