Just got paid? These are the October beauty buys the Tyla team swears by
October was a month of weather changes, social plans, Halloween parties, and other seasonal shifts - and we've been loving a range of different beauty and skincare goodies.
Many of us are wrapping up, getting cosy under some blankets with a face mask, and making some much-needed time for ourselves this season. And what better way to indulge in some self-care than to revamp and invest in your skincare and make-up routine?
From hydrating moisturisers and primers to foundations and mascaras that will last all night long at your spooky season celebrations, the Tyla team has picked out their top October products that you need to get your hands on this payday.
So, before the Christmas rush starts creeping in next month, make sure you give yourself a well-deserved treat!
Maddy - e.l.f Halo Glow Liquid Filter, £13 from Boots
Advert
This foundation is an empty that I stock up on every single month without fail, and it’s quickly become a permanent part of my makeup routine.
If you’re a fan of a glowy, dewy look, this is definitely a product you should try, as it gives you an airbrushed appearance without sitting really heavily on your skin like a traditional foundation.
It can be worn four ways: alone, over or under makeup, mixed with foundation, or as a highlighter.
Personally, I wear it as my base alone, and top up any imperfections with concealer. I’ve gotten so many compliments since trying it out, and have even gotten some of my friends onto it!
Plus, it’s a great drugstore alternative to Charlotte Tilbury’s Flawless Filter foundation.
Niamh P - Benefit Roller Lash, £28 from LookFantastic
I've just tried this product out after previously using Benefit for mascaras, and let me tell you, they are the best in the game. Benefit truly never disappoint and although a little pricier - it's definitely worth it.
It makes my lashes look SO voluminous and long, and the brush separates my lashes perfectly. I've stopped using fake eyelashes because Benefit's mascaras make them look way better.
They also have a mini version which is perfect for nights out and fits perfectly in your clutch.
Rhianna - Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask, £21 from Boots
Winter is almost upon us, and my lips are certainly paying the price. With the colder weather comes dry, chapped lips, and one of the only things that keeps mine feeling soft and hydrated is the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask. Despite the name, you don’t actually have to save this handy hack for bedtime - I keep mine front and centre on my desk and apply throughout the day, topping up whenever my lips need a little extra TLC. The mask is super hydrating without feeling sticky or tacky, and it leaves a really cute glossy finish, so it doubles up as a lip gloss if ever I need that effortless, juicy-lip look after work. I have the berry flavour, and honestly, it smells so delicious that it’s hard to resist licking your lips.
Becky - Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray, £33 on SpaceNK
This setting spray is my holy grail product. I genuinely never leave the house without it! It instantly freshens up my face and keeps my makeup in place all day. Whether I’m heading to a gym class or going clubbing, my makeup stays put once I’ve sprayed this on. It’s an absolute must-have in my routine!
Another thing I love is that it doesn’t feel heavy or sticky on my face, and it has skincare benefits too. I have sensitive skin, so I’m always conscious of what I use, and I love that it doesn’t clog my pores.
Charlotte Tilbury’s Setting Spray is enriched with aloe vera and Japanese green tea to help smooth, hydrate and soften the skin. It can also be used as a primer before makeup to hydrate, smooth and prep your complexion. Plus, there’s a mini version that’s perfect for travelling or keeping in your bag for touch-ups on the go!
Carli - Merit Beauty Great Skin Priming Moisturizer, £34 on Sephora
I love a dewy look (matte is just not for me), but I hate when my foundation seems to disappear at 3pm.
This primer, which contains a blend of jojoba and squalane (both super moisturising), as well as oil-absorbing silica, keeps my makeup in place without looking powdery.
Friendly reminder: please apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen prior to application!
Niamh S - OSKIA Isotonic Hydra Serum, £51 from Debenhams
This is a step up from your typical hyaluronic acid and has worked wonders on my skin! I was experiencing very dry and red skin around my nose and chin since the autumnal weather has set in, and within a week of using this I've noticed a huge difference.
It's not the cheapest serum on the market, but it's worth every penny (and currently on offer at Debenhams).
