As soon as September arrives, I get all excited. Not only is it my birthday on the 6th, but the season starts to transition from summer to autumn, which is my favourite time of year. Layering up in chunky knits, the crisp air, cozy nights in, burning candles and the festive cups from Starbuck's - I love it. Best of all, I of course adore the beauty trends and, predictably, my favourites from last month reflect the changes that I've been making when it comes to my makeup.
I've given you my 2013 Makeup and Nail Favourites, now it's time to move onto part two, showing you the skincare and haircare products that beat off their competition to top my list. There's a few of the usual suspects making an appearance in there, but I've also discovered some exciting newcomers that have overtaken their rivals and become firm favourites of mine.
Recently, I'd noticed that my hair was beginning to look a bit lank, lacklustre and felt quite dry, as it is just so long and has suffered years of abuse from heat. Cutting back on using heat to style my hair, washing it as little as possible and using really nourishing hair products was my plan of attack. On my hunt for the best products, I ventured into the unknown realm of Redken. Previously, I had only heard great things about this brand and wondered why I had (stupidly) not dipped my toe into their waters. Along with the All Soft Spray, I also went for the Extreme CAT Protein Reconstructing Treatment.
September seems to have flown by and now October has arrived, bringing the miserable weather with it. To cheer myself up, I thought I'd run through some of the products that I've been loving and have stood out to me this month.
