Hi everyone! October has been an incredibly busy month for me, which often left me sleep-deprived and dehydrated. Because of this, I focused more on rejuvenating my skin and taking time to myself whenever I could. But this also helped me discover so many of my October 2017 favorites! Keep reading to find out what they were.

Tazo Pumpkin Spice Chai
Since I’m trying to cut back on my caffeine consumption, I’ve been substituting coffee for tea. Recently, I tried the Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Chai Tea Latte and instantly fell in love. A few days later, I randomly discovered the Tazo Chai Pumpkin Spice Tea while browsing the aisles at Target. Pumpkin spice and chai tea are two separate things I love so I had to get the Tazo Chai Pumpkin Spice Tea. When I went home, I brewed a cup of tea and added some hazelnut creamer to turn it into a latte. I didn’t add sweetener so it’s not as sweet as Starbucks’s pumpkin spice chai tea latte but I was still satisfied! Plus, one whole box of Tazo Chai Pumpkin Spice Tea costs less than a grande-sized Pumpkin Spice Chai Tea Latte from Starbucks.
Jan Marini Clean Zyme Cleanser & Zyme Skin Mask
Next, I recently received complimentary samples of the Jan Marini Clean Zyme and Skin Zyme to test and review. The two products work as a duo — you apply the Skin Zyme face mask for 20 minutes and wash it off with the Clean Zyme cleanser. After testing the products for the first time, I was instantly impressed with the results! I woke up the next day with clearer, brighter skin. Altogether, the duo retails for $90 USD but it’s worth the splurge. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone who wants a clearer and brighter complexion.

PIL’ATEN Pore Strips Black Mask
Another one of my October 2017 favorites is the PIL’ATEN Pore Strips Black Mask. I’m a little late but now I understand the craze around blackhead removing charcoal masks! My sister ordered a pack of the PIL’ATEN Pore Strips Black Mask and gave me a handful to try. The first time I tried the PIL’ATEN Pore Strips Black Mask, I saw immediate results. Right away, my skin felt much softer and smoother. I definitely recommend it to anyone with oily, acne-prone skin.

Sérumtolôgié Vitamin C Serum °22

Then, I’ve been focusing more on skincare this month and another one of my October 2017 favorites is the Sérumtolôgié Vitamin C Serum °22. Although I usually have combination acne-prone skin, the changing weather has caused my skin to be dry and dehydrated. To remedy this problem, I started using the Sérumtolôgié Vitamin C Serum °22. It contains 5% hyaluronic acid, which instantly brought rehydration to my skin. The serum also contains vitamins C and E, antioxidants, and other anti-aging ingredients — it’s definitely worth the splurge!

Niall Horan – Flicker
And finally, it’s no secret that I’m a huge One Direction fan. Since they’ve gone on hiatus, each member has been working on solo releases. This month, Niall released his debut solo album and I love it! The album is completely different from 1D’s sound; it reminds me of John Mayer and Shawn Mendes. I love that it displays Niall’s own sound and personality. My favorite song off the album is “On the Loose” and I can’t wait to see him on tour!
