October’s Favorites

 It’s time! After, narrowing it down. I have three hot items on my favorites this month! Let's begin shall we?

Maybelline Pure Mineral Concealer in #2

First item, Maybelline’s Pure Mineral Concealer. To be frank, I’ve had few concealers in my vanity but never thought of needing it every single day. That is until, I have the Maybelline’s Pure Mineral Concealer in my vanity. I need this baby, every single day! I find it very smooth to apply, and the coverage is great. I mean, good enough to cover up my blemishes! This works not only on blemishes but also on my dark circles. It goes by the saying “a little goes a long way”. Really! And the best part of it all, this only cost RM 21 per tube! This is definitely one of my holy grail concealer, if you must know! I would definitely get more of this, if it runs out! 

  Wet N' Wild Ultimate Brow Kit in #E963 Ash Brown

“Brows before bros”, that would be my second favorite item this month. Brows! I love drawing my brows, it doesn’t require the same shape every day. To me, as long as I feel good walking around with it. Its fine! But most importantly, with eyebrows well groomed, it brings confidence! I mean that is one thing I can’t go out without! If you’ve seen my “New in Vanity” post, you would know I’ve discovered the Wet N’ Wild’s Brow Kit. And I have loved it, ever since! Everything about it is perfect! For only, RM 24.30, I find this to be working very good! Mine, is in the color #963 Ash Brown. I believe that this is the only shade they stock. The kit comes with a light and dark shade, a wax, a brow brush, tweezers, and a mirror. The powder applies evenly and lasts for a long time! The product is a win- win, with its customized shades, handy tools and packaging, you can't go wrong with it! With its price, trust me this product is an absolute steal!  

NYX Badunkadunk Lush Lashes Mascara

NYX's Badunkadunk Lush Lashes Mascara. Now this is not THE BEST mascara out there, however, I noticed that I have been reaching for this one the most this month. That's the reason of this post after all right? I got this, at RM 34 per tube. It says here on the tube that this mascara is form as a length and volume mascara and to me, that is what is practically does. This mascara is however, not waterproof. If I know I will be out and about, under the hot weather, I know I won't go for this. But other than that, for an everyday use, I have been loving this very much! It seems, to give me the lashes I wanted for my go to everyday look!

Looks like, that's all three! Hope you enjoy this one, and if there's any interesting product you think I shall try, do leave a comment in the comment box below.

IN2IT Gel Tint for Lips and Cheeks

Hey there! After spending so much on beauty this month, I have tried so hard to stop myself from buying anything anymore. Well, I guess I could not help it. Luckily, the IN2IT Gel Tint were very affordable! This happened,when I was browsing around in the mall alone the other day. I know I could not afford to buy anything "high end" at this time of the month, and so I decided to go to the Drugstore, Guardian to be exact. Later on, while I was not planning on getting anything as mentioned. I got my eyes on the IN2IT's Gel Tint, I mean look at how cute the packaging is! Let me share to you, a little about this product.

 

IN2IT Gel Tint for Lips & Cheeks

As picture above, you probably can tell on which color I chose. They have four in range, but these two catch my eyes the most! Plus, the other two were lighter shades. I had to go for the bright ones, knowing me! I bought these each for only RM 9.80 from Guardian! VERY affordable right? I have been using these for 3 days more or less. I could not yet share the full review. So far, all I know is these two works on lips and cheeks and yes I have tried it on. I thought probably it will work better with full make up on. I would not expect much from this product as I also have never tried much on any of the Gel Tint out there, However, a full review will be in soon, I promise!

September's Favorites

September's Favorites 

I know this is a super late post on my September’s Favorites. However to hold by the routine. I know I just had to post this. I only have two favorites in the month of September. Which was the Clio Professional Art Blusher in #2 Pink and also the Body Shop Color Crush Lipstick in #205, now this should be familiar as it was featured in my “Current Favorite Lipstick” post recently. I just had to put it under my monthly favorites too!

     

Clio Professional Art Blusher in #2 Pink 

Now, I’m going to start with the Clio Professional Art Blush in #2 Pink. This one has come a long way with me. I started having this in my vanity ever since I was in the Beauty School when I first begin doing make up. I found out about Clio Professional itself as they were the only brand being promoted in my beauty school. I went back to using this as it goes well with the Body Shop lipstick I'm currently addicted to!

 Oh well, they were few shades from the Clio Professional range itself. And I had to get two (peach tone for the warm look and pink for the cool look). When I purchased them blushes they were RM 140 each. I don't know how much they are selling it now. I've used up the peach one sometime this year. It lasted so long! The blusher itself were baked for 24 hours resulting in a supremely pigmented product that glides on beautifully. The surface of #2 Pink is likely a strawberry pink /veined all over with touches of highlighting white, bronzey gold and a slight of deep maroon shade. They all blend well together to form a gorgeous pink shade that has a quality to it. Some might not like it as it is not a matte form blusher but I personally love it! Little that I know after I graduated from school. Watson has started carrying Clio' Professionals, however I have not seen any of the Art Blush Collection being carried. I hope they will soon! I cannot guarantee if the beauty school I went to still carry this. Will keep you update on this!

Color Crush Lipstick by Body Shop in #205

My second favorite as mentioned will be the Body Shop Color Crush Lipstick in #205. Going to make this one short. This is a super moisturizing lipstick however the color of this one is very pigmented! Even if the moisture were gone through the day the color would stay in. Which is why I totally love this one! Before I was actually unsure of the price, but a week ago I actually went on a quick survey. You can get this at the nearest Body Shop for only RM 59.90 , sounds great right? I can see this item with me for a long long time!

Hope you enjoy this one!

Current Favorite Lipstick(s) and Swatches!

Body Shop #205 // Kissproof Lipstick #011

Lipsticks are something I change regularly, because there's much to love out there! And it surprises me how these two has come in so handy! Firstly, from the left, #205 Color Crush by Body Shop. As I am the biggest fan of The Body Shop, I have never tried anything from their make up line aside from their lip balm. NEVER. The story with the one, is something. I don't know the price of the lipstick tho, as I actually got it from a friend selling unused make ups of hers. With other many things, I tend to ignore this one. Until one day, I was tidying my vanity and realized that "this were unused once, why unused it again?". And so I gave it a try, yet then I did not like it. 

My first thought were, how super moisturized it was and how it left my lips glossy. Not a fan of glossy if you get what I mean. Once, I rub it off with a facial tissue I realized that the color is still there and was surprised on how pigmented the lipstick was. After days of trying to wear the lipstick right I finally manage to get used to it (blot my lips with the facial tissue once applied) and love it ever since! It has been in my pocket, everyday! Amazed! 

#011 by Kissproof Lipstick

Now, if you do not know about Kissproof Lipstick I have actually post on this one on my "July's Favorites" but that was in color code #003 (which is a dark maroon color). However this time I have became attached with this which is in color code #011,the color of this one is very dark which I find it perfect this Autumn! It is mostly like a very dark Burgundy color. If you have not read my "July's Favorites" post on the Kissproof Lipstick , you must not know that Kissproof Lipsticks are one of the matte lipsticks that would last the whole day on my lips! And for only RM 10, I could not say more about this other than how much I just love it! With these two lipsticks, I could just go with a full face nude make up everyday and simply choose which between this two to go with my look and that of course depends on the "feelings" I have on that day. You get me right?

Oh wells, below is the picture of swatches I have on the lipsticks. Hope you all enjoy this post! 

Till next time, lovelies!

P.S :  Sometimes, when you find new discoveries, you might forget about what you already have. You might also, love it once again! So quickly run into your vanity, who knows you might find something that surprises you too!

Sincerely,

Excitement!

Stay tuned!

Innisfree Eco Nail Polish

Hey lovely. Today, I will be sharing about one of my most used nail polish at the moment. And that will be the Innisfree Eco Nail Polish. To be honest, I have not been a fan to Korean products but of course I thought to myself. Why not, right? Innisfree is a new brand for us Malaysians, the only outlet I know of them is in Sunway Pyramid, Petaling Jaya. As I wonder in their store I did not want to go for anything big yet. And so I ended up, walking out from the store with 4 nail polishes from Innisfree. Picture attached below, were the ones that I decided to get from them.

                       

Color codes

From left : Dark Gray, #28 // Pastel Blue, #18 // Shimmering Green, #101 // Purple Blue, #20

Their Eco Nail Polish only cost RM 10 per bottle (exclude GST), how amazing is that right? What made me become more in love with this product is that how it came with a great smooth brush! Also, the cute packaging! You know how that tempts me! Knowing that they have over than hundred of shades I'd definitely go again and get many more. 

                         

Above, is the one in Pastel #18. Which is also my favorite out of all the 4 that I have purchased. I hope you enjoy this post. Till next time!

Love,
