I'm still pretty much on the fence about it so we'll see which side I fall on as the months pass.
Anyw, here are my favorites for Jan!
Yes, I love my colors. But apparently black is my 'lucky' color this year. I say, if one year tells me my lucky color is pink... Let's not digress.
I'll start with the Benefit Porefessional!
This tube is so pretty and cute and I just wanna stick it in my pocket all day.
I have primers. All kinds. Mattifying, brightening, correcting, you name it, I (most probably) have it, but I keep reaching for this because it makes my face so soft! It applies like a dream and it makes my foundation goes on so smoothly. I am definitely gonna repurchase the regular-sized one.
Movin' on! Bourjois Happy Light Foundation (no. 50)
I've been picking up foundations in yellow-toned because my pink face do not in any way match my yellow neck. So this is the lightest yellow-based shade Bourjois carry and there is a very pretty peachy pink toned one as well. They don't have much color selection which is a bummer for most but this is the first time (I think) that I've seen a foundation shade lighter than no. 51 in the Bourjois line. This foundation is true to its name. It has a light to medium coverage and I go to this for my no-makeup makeup days. It's a my-skin-but-better when applied with a light hand and with a primer, it can last for a good 8-12 hours. It feels so light and I always forget I'm wearing foundation. I apply it with a buffing brush for better coverage and I use about 2 pumps for my entire face. Plus points for the pump and cap!
Next up is the Jouer Blusher (Peony)
I've heard about this brand and decided to try it out after my boyf's sister asked me to bring it back for her! I'm a blusher-girl. Didn't used to be. Now I'm an addict. The packaging is sleek and kinda cool. If you buy the blushes in different shades or even the bronzers, you can slide the sides in to make one palette. How neat?! And I love this Barbie shade of pink. It's pigmented and a little goes a long way. It blends easily and stays on forever, even on my oily-ish cheeks. However, I remember it being a little pricier than regular drug-store blushes.
Givenchy Phenomen'Eyes Waterproof Mascara
I've bought this mascara ages ago and I know I'm not suppose to keep my eye makeup for this long....but this costs a bomb and it works perfectly still. Well, I'm not blind yet. I forgot about this mascara until recently and have found myself reaching for it daily. Because a picture speaks a thousand words...
This mascara had amazing curl-holding power and doesn't smudge or flake. Love it. Can see it going back to my top list of mascaras. And plus it's easy to remove. I don't have to tug or pull on my lashes to get those mascara off.
Marc Jacobs Highliner Gel Crayon ( Blacquer #42)
I love this. Idk how to further say this. I love this to death. I use this for tight lining.The pigment is rich and application so so smooth. It has an awesome sleek packaging and it is a twist-up with detachable sharperner. Wear time is awesomeballz for a good 8 hours without fading or migrating or flaking. I tear easily when my eyes are dry so the waterproof claim is true. I cannot wait to go back and get the other colors!
Maybelline Baby Lips Dr. Rescue Medicated Lip Balm (Pink Me Up)
Ever since I came back from the states, my lips have been chapped like no freaking business. It's peel-ly and chapped and gross. I only bought one cause well, I bought the rest of the baby lips in all the color and decided I needed just one out of the entire medicated line. Well, I love it. It keeps my chapped lips at bay and makes my lippies go on so prettily and smoothly. Plus it gives this tinge of pink like, MLBB and I believe the rest of the six shades are super soft and pretty too. Gonna stock up on these when I'm back in NYC.
Revlon Colorburst Lacquer Balm (110 Coquette)
A huge fan of all the balms, no doubt this has become one of my go-to easy application lip color. This color is a sweet bubblegum-ish pink but the only thing that leaves me little annoyed is the silver bits of glitter that gets stuck even when all the color is gone. It makes you look all kinds of funky. But for the color pay-off, I don't give two hoots about silver bits.
Guerlain Météorites Perles (Teint Rose)
I've always wanted to try this all-raved product and I picked up this travel sized duo that comes with a cute little pink brush at Narita Airport. I picked Teint Rose cause it is supposedly used to neutralize slight redness and it has pink, white, yellow, lavender, and minty green pearls. I use this as a finishing powder OVER my setting powder cause I feel that my oily-combi skin requires more setting. But this powder gives me this 3D overall glow, instead of the flat/matte look that my setting powder gives. It somehow magically makes me look super awake and glowy. I secretly love he pink brush that comes with it because it fits into the small circular box and is of a good size to swirl around the tin to get an even amount of product. I washed it several times and it now feels soft and fluffy, instead of the scratchy feeling it gave initially. Definitely getting the actual size.
To sum it up.
Ok whew, this is longer than I expected. How do you guys like this? Should we shorten or lengthen these posts? Haha let us know pls!!
Till the next.
love,
Pea.
