As we move into slightly cooler weather, it seems appropriate for this month’s edit to bring you products that will nourish your skin in anticipation of dryer skin as well as a little hope for an Autumn get away!
Ziver Organics Lip Mask
A deeply nourishing lip treatment that actually works. As temperatures drop, lips dry out fast, and this mask gives long‑lasting moisture without feeling sticky or heavy. It's suggested for an overnight mask but I use it all the time!
Why it works: A clean, balm‑like formula that softens, repairs and keeps lips comfortable throughout the day. Shea butter & a hint of watermelon will make this your new favourite!
Studio note: I use it morning and night. It’s brilliant paired with an Ere Perez Acai Lip Pencil or Coco Crayon for a more subtle yet nourished colour.
Best for: Anyone who wants a reliable, clean lip product that genuinely hydrates and prevents dryness & which does not have an unpleasant or overpowering taste.
Cloudburst Plumping Balance Essence — Earth Harbor
This is one of those products that quietly transforms your skin. Cloudburst gives lightweight hydration, balances oil, and adds a natural plumpness without any heaviness — perfect for transitional autumn skin. I first bought this 8 years ago & have been hooked every since!
Why it works: A blend of marine-based ingredients that hydrate, calm and support a smoother texture.
Studio note: I apply it after toning and before serum. It absorbs instantly and doesn't leave a residue or causing pilling.
Best for: Dehydrated or dull skin that needs hydration without extra weight or is just looking for a hydration boost.
Fenella Smith London Layflat Makeup Bag
A makeup bag that finally solves the “I can’t find anything” problem. It opens completely flat so you can see every product at once — no digging, no mess, no wasted time.
Why it works: Smart layflat design, wipeable interior and sturdy structure. The pink-with-red-hearts and tiger designs add personality without compromising practicality.
Studio note: I went for the tiger design as it brings a smile to my face everytime I look at it! As a woman with a big cat tattoo it also felt like me!
Best for: Anyone who wants a makeup bag that’s functional, durable and actually makes getting ready easier.
The October Routine
Hydrated lips, balanced skin and a makeup bag that keeps your beauty life organised — three simple upgrades that make everyday beauty feel calmer and more efficient. October is all about comfort and ease, and these products deliver exactly that.
Enjoy October!
