Whether you're in need of a make-up bag overhaul or simply in the mood for a beauty shake-up, we've searched high and low for the very best October beauty buys.
Here are 10 of the very best beauty bits to invest in this month...
Your Good Skin Balancing Skin Concentrate
Boots recently launched Your Good Skin, a skincare line that was co-created by a community of thousands of women. Our top pick from the line? The Balancing Skin Concentrate, which works to restore and maintain skin's natural balance. A great multitasking product, it improves the five key signs of healthy looking skin - texture, evenness in tone, radiance, moisture levels and oiliness.
£11.10, available at boots.co.uk
John Frieda Frizz Ease Extra Strength Serum Limited Edition
It's a cult classic, and anyone with frizzy hair will have heard of this smoothing product. It offers protection in up to 90 per cent relative humidity and keeps your hair frizz free.
p.s. we love its limited edition makeover - check out the pretty swirl design.
£6.99, available at Superdrug
Urban Decay Troublemaker Mascara
After lashes with serious length and volume, without any flaking, smudging or dropping? Meet your new best friend, the Urban Decay Troublemaker mascara - it's worth the hype. Plus, we love the slick packaging.

Elizabeth Arden Gelato Plush-Up Lipstick
While liquid lipsticks are great for a longlasting look, they can be very drying on the lips - cute the new Gelato Plush-up Lipstick from Elizabeth Arden... Delivering a sheer wash of colour with a glossy finish, it feels cooling on application and even has a plumping effect to leave lips looking luscious and defined.
£22, available at elizabetharden.co.uk
