June favorites

I have no excuses for not writing in this blog. I am sorry for not posting anything in between. But the thing is life had gotten in the way of my writing, between the stress that is work and random crazy things that my friends had done, i kinda had a hard time writing whatever i wanted to write. But i will try not to let it get between me and this blog in the fututre. Without furthur ado, here are my june favorites

1. Benefit rockateur blush

     I had found myself reaching for this brush more this month, it has that pretty flushed look against my skin color. It had been my absolute favoreite. There are timeps that i would choose another blush but more often than not this is my go to blush this month. In the office, going out with friends or family, i didn't even think about which blush to choose from. I just gravitate toward this color this month. Not too pink and not too shimmery which is a good combination for the bright lips i have been wearing this month. Absolute must have for anyone

2. Bobbi brown tinted eye brightener

     Ok so i have dark circles under my eyes but not as bad as you would think. This is what i would be wearing everyday without any concealer. It covers my dark circles perfectly without concealer. It makes my eyes look more awake comlared to the conealer that i has used, with my oily skin, anything that i had under my eyes tend to crease even if i set it with powder. But not this one. Although, i have a problem with the smell of this product which tends to be a bit like paint. But that is the only thing that is bad with it, other than that everything is fine with me

3.  DAughtry,s baptized album

     As i am writing this post, the album is playing in the background. It helps me wrtie as i an focus on what i am doing, I Spent the month listening to this album that made me realize that i should start writing again. So it has tremendously helped me get my writing mojo back.

4. Nexcare acne patch

     Ok so this was something that ,y sister and i decided to buy in hong kong because we got interested in the packaging as it said that i can get rid of your acne easily. I recently had an outbreak lately and covered my face nightly with this. Lo and behold the morning after when i saw that my acne hadd gotten smaller. I kept doing this for a few nights as my acne had gotten smaller over the period that i used this product. I told a lot of people about this and when they tried it. They are instantly hooked as my friends had a tendency to pop their own pimple as it is satisfying. Good bye pimples and hyperpigmentation and hello pretty skin 

I will try to place the phtotos later. Till next time, bye!

REVIEW: Benefit Rockateur Blush

I just recently bought a new blush from Benefit and it is their rockateur blush. I was really afraid that the color might be the same as Nars orgasm or Sleek's rose gold. I was mistaken by that as you cn see the color here is different while nars is more on the pink with a light gold shimmer in it and sleeks rose gold is more on gold shimmer rather than the pink. Rockateur is really different the shimmer is really subtle and it is not that pink. 

It's a really nice color since it is less pink and more on rosy in color. This blush gives me a natural glow without looking overdone. Its color is really long lasting and with the summer just around the corner I would probably use this EVERY DAY. 

REVIEW: Charm Retractable Blush Brish

So I've been usig this brush for about twp weeks now and i find that i still reach for my eco tools blush brush more. The good thing about this brush is that it is retractable and it's really soft. The down side of this brush is i need a lot more product than my regular brush. I usully pat on my blush on the apples of my cheeks but with this brush i really need to sweep it on to my cheeks and I find it hader to control the amount of blush i place. 

Out of the local branded brush that I've used, i woukd not return to use is brush. It's too hard to control and it uses up a lot of products. It's too soft to pick up products properly and that it takes quite a while to get used to it. The quality looks goood but that really does not do anything for me 

Cosmetics Haul

After browsing several magazines and hearing several people rave about it, I decided to go buy them and actually try them out. Watch out for this space on what I think of them but until them i will leave you guys with a picture of the products that I've recently purchased.  Hope you enjoy!

Lastly, I forgot to take a picture of the MAC Huggable Lipcolor that I bought the other day! 

Until next time,

January Favorites

1. Nars Deep Throat Blush
     The name of this blush is really weird but I really love this. It has a really light pink color and if you apply it it looks like you're glowing, The consistency is really nice. A small amount does a long way and for fair skin, it looks really nice. I spent the whole month just using this blush after not using it for a while. The one thing that I don't like about Nars product is that the packaging looks horrible after a while since I usually bring some makeup with me on the way to the office or if I'm going out with my friends. It started to look all gross and stuff. Packaging aside, you should really try this.

2. Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Powder in Ebony
    After hearing about this product from Missglmorazzi, I decided to buy this online and I fell in love with it. It is the right shade for my brows. It's not too brown that it looks fake but the shade of grey in it makes it look more natural. Excuse me since I have very sparse brows, I need to use a ton of product for my brows. I actually bought this on a whim but this must be one of my best purchase EVER. I just hope that they open a store here so that I can actually try more of their products.

3. Lush Celebrate Body Lotion
    I love the way this smells a bit citrusy but not so over powering and it is not that sticky pair it with Benefits silk and Seductive Body Oil Mist. It makes your skin super moisturized and not too dry. I really love thios combo together since I am in an air conditioned room for most of the day from office until I go to bed so i always use this two together to make my skin super moisturized.

  
4. Marc Jacocbs Daisy Eau So Fresh
    I just love the scent of this perfume. It's light fresh. It does not make me want to puke at the smell since I find that most perfumes that are florally scented a bit too heavy but not this one. Itnwas really worth it! 

I will try to upload some of the pics tonight so watch out for it!
