Say what you like about mists and mellow fruitfulness, October can be a miserable month. Those of us who don’t get to spend it kicking through crunchy leaves in the warm embrace of a Hollywood romcom hunk and brand new autumn/winter outerwear could use some cheering up. So it’s with little surprise (and a whole lot of relatability) that I saw cosy lighting, heated throws and endless rounds of toast on the list of Filter recommendations you loved most last month.

You’ve been keen to add sparkle to your darkening evenings, too. Stick-on nails and Velcro rollers are among your October favourites, along with an LED face mask that you can either use to soup up your winter complexion or hide behind until spring comes.
