The fact I am sitting with the curtains shut, with my candles burning and my cozy pjs on, writing my October Favourites makes me extremely happy. 

First of all to save me making a noise, waking my family I use this stunning Zoeva Rose Gold make-up bag (Review here). It helps keeps all my items together and its easy access in the morning.

BASE

An early starts means I don't want the hassle of putting on foundation so I use my Collection Concealer all over my face and use my Beauty Blender to blend it in my face, I have to use a good amount to cover up.

I will the apply the concealer again under eyes and any spots or flaws on my face. Again I use my beauty blender to blend the concealer in. I purchased my Beauty blender whilst I was in America in Sephora and I absolutely love it.

POWDER & BRONZER

Powder is next, I use my trusty Stay Matte powder all over my face using my Real Techniques Powder Brush. As powder does it keeps my face less shiny and help hold the concealer in place.  

Next is bronzer, bronzer is something I never leave the house with out so I use my Mac Natural Finish in Medium to give a natural contour, I use my Zoeva brush Cream Cheek brush and give myself a simple contour under my cheekbones. I then will then pull it up contouring my either side of my face and then down contouring my jawline.  

I don't bother with highlight or blush so that is my face done. 

EYES

Mascara next, I use my Tweezerland eyelash curlers bought in Sephora (Haul here) and curl my eyelashes, I then use Maybeline the falsies first, then wait until it drys and the curl again and the apply Benefit Bad Gal lash. I may have to repeat a few times depending on how well my lashes go. 

If I am having a good morning and have times I will use on of my Mac Prolong Paint Pot for quickness, I find them so easy and simple to use. 

Lastly, I fill my brows. I use the shade 'Cover' from the Naked Basics 2 palette. I have been told it is the perfect for me, I fill them in with my Real Techniques eyebrow brush. I love how small this brush is, it means I can get great precision on the brows. 

LIPS

For my lips, I tend to just put lip balm on but I have been loving Revlon Colour Burst in the shade Elusive or Angel by Mac. Both are very pretty neutral shades.

I remember writing in my Make-Up Addict tag that my one thing that I really wanted was Zoeva Brushes, after Zoe featured them in her videos I was intrigued to seeing what all the hype was. My friend Keira(keirabowman.co.uk) then ordered the Rose Gold Smokey Shader brush off Depop for me and I absolutely loved it.

So much to my delight Keira surprised me and bought me a set  for my birthday as you can tell I LOVED them. The are all so soft and great quality.

After being told about http://www.blushbeautyundefined.com from Keira, I had a quick look on the website and the thing that really caught my eye was the Zoeva Brushes. I purchased the Rose Golden Luxury Volume 2 set.  I ordered them on a whim whilst jet lag hit in America and I am so glad I did.

They came with this gorgeous Rose Gold Make-Up up which I use for my everyday make-up.
 Every single brush is just perfect,  the set came with 8 rose coloured brushes, not to go into much detail about each but I have got a top 4.

1. 228 Luxe Crease, I already had one but I find it perfect to have multiple. I use this for lighter shade. It is so soft as it blends perfectly.

2. 234 Luxe Smokey Shader, like I mention I already have this but again I use it for lighter shades partially for highlight under my brow.

3. 103 Luxe Face Paint, I didn't know that I needed this until I used it. It is my lifesaver for contour, it is perfect to get under the cheek bones and make the stand out. I love how short the brush is as it make it super easy to hold and move on the face. I can't get enough of it and would highly recommend it.

4. 126 Luxe Cheek Finish,  lastly this brush has really help me with highlight. I never had a particular brush for my highlight so it is great to own one. I really love how easy it is to apply my highlight and I love how lovely it makes my cheekbones look.

Overall I absolutely adore these brushes, they are super great quality, so soft and beautiful.  I want to thank Blushbeauty for sending them after the first set got lost in the post. Great service and I would highly recommend checking her website. 

Hope everyone is doing fab. 

Love Emma

I'm all packed and ready to go. Not to mention super excited.

Pandora bracelet, Zoeva brushes, Mac wet and Dry blush, Mac Kelly Osborne Natural Skin Finish

Coconut oil. I rarely have hair care products in my favourites because I never put a lot of effort into my hair. I wash and dry shampoo it and that is about it!!! But I have a wedding in July and I really want my hair to be in a brilliant condition, as well as longer. My cousin recommend Coconut Oil to help grow my hair. I bought OGX Weightless Hydrating coconut Oil. I can't really see hair growth so far but it has really made my hair feel super nice. It also smell so lovely, I would highly recommend.    

Zoeva 234 Luxe Smoky Shader brush. I bought this brush a while ago but have been loving it this month. Firstly I love the colour, it is so pretty. Secondly, I have been wanting a Zoeva brush for a long time so I am thrilled to have it in my collection. Thirdly, it is a very good brush. It is so easy to pack my lid with colour, as it holds a lot of shadow on the brush. It is super soft and I am in love with it.

In terms of TV programs I haven't had any new stand outs, apart Once Upon a Time, but that was in last months favorites. I have however been loving Spotify Chill Out Playlists. I have always stuck to the albums  I am familiar with but I venture out and found the best laid back playlist. I love to have it on in the back round, whether I am reading or writing. In fact I have it on just now. It is so calming and 'Chill' Two sounds that have stood out and I have played on repeat are Kodeline- The One and John Mayer cover of XO.
Last but not least I will mention my food favourites. As you can tell from my last post, I have been loving Corn thins with Almond butter with Strawberries. But Vegetables Crisps HAS to be my number one this month. I could seriously live of them. I don't know if they are the healthiest things to eat but I don't care ;) Marks and Spenser or Costa Coffee probably do the best. 

The last product is the Elegant Touch Nail 6 in 1. It files, shapes, buffs, polishes, and shines. I really want to take great care of my nails and this is perfect. It is super easy to use and I would highly recommend. 
I know this is the second haul but I promise to have a great post for next week. (TopShop Here)

So my friend Keira did this tag I while ago but I thought I would give it ago, this is the Make-Up Addict Tag...
