MAKEUP POST. COSMETIC FAVOURITES AT THE MOMENT.
As I mentioned before, I love all kinds of makeup whether it's high end or low end. Recently I've been using these products a lot and I love every single one of them. This is not a review on the products but just my opinion on why I LOVE THEM.
(1) MAC Strobe Liquid Lotion: I love this to death!!! It gives me such a glow and it's awesome for summertime when you want that dewy look, simply mix this in your foundation or moisturizer but don't put too much or you will look greasy.
(2) Soap & Glory Righteous Butter: Another love! OK I can't get over how much I love the smell of this lotion, I can literally finish a tub of this because I love it so much!
(3) Soap & Glory Flake Away Body Scrub: This baby is awesome for body exfoliation. Getting rid of dead cells and when I want my skin to feel soft, I turn to this. In my opinion the best body scrub I've used and will repurchase since I love the scent. Got to love all Soap & Glory products their packaging is cute too, vintage pin-up models. You know how I like vintage looks! haha...
(4) MAC Petting Pink Tinted Lip Conditioner SPF15: The best lip product to use in summer since it provides SPF. Girl you know you need lip protection.
(5) LUSH Ocean Salt: Who doesn't love Lime, Vodka and Salt? Haha this smells fantastic as to all lush products. This leaves my face feeling so so soft. I use this when I do my home facials.
(6) Urban Decay Liquid eye liner in Perversion: My sister bought this for me on my birthday in June. I love it! Does not smudge on me and stays put through out the day.
(7) MAC Prep + Prime Face Protect SPF50: I bought this last May just before summer hits, because I wanted to use face protection that has SPF in it. Most of my current moisturizer do not provide SPF and I don't like putting straight sunblock on my face because it gets so greasy, sticky and I hate it. I got this because of the SPF50 and it's a good face prep before I put on my tinted moisturizers. I also use this just before I go to yoga or gym so that I have protection on my face from the sun. I still love, love my Monistat chafing gel which I use as a face primer. My holy grail primer but I don't see it in my local Walmart anymore. However, I did find an alternative which is the
Lanacane chafing gel. It did get a 4.1 out of 5 in Makeupalley (click on the name to check the review) so I thought why not get it. It has the same ingredients and to my surprise, it works even better since it has kept my face matte all day! NEW LOVE!!! Anyway as for MAC prep+prime spf50, it's too expensive. I just like using it for the SPF protection otherwise I will not be repurchasing.
(8) MAC Blush Ombre in Ripe Peach: Awesome blush for the summer, I love everything peach as far as blushes go and the color suits my olive skin tone.
(9) MAC Prep + Prime Translucent powder: Good setting powder, this is comparable to the MUFE HD POWDER. I have no complains in fact I am loving it.
(10) MAC Prep + Prime Skin Refined Zone Treatment: I have oily T-Zone and this product must only be applied in your face where you are normally oily. With this, I was shine free for at least 12 hours, it's awesome but just expensive for this tiny little tube.
(11) Make Up Forever Duo Mat Powder: This replaced my MAC Studio Fix Powder, don't get me wrong I love the MAC stuff but this powder is just as good, if not better!
(12) Laura Geller Spackle Trio: Bought this in states since they don't sell this in my local Sephora. Three in one little jar providing, lip, eye, and face primer. I like all of them. The lip primer is great!
(13) Benefit High Beam: OK you can tell that I love products that make me glow, and this one had rave reviews, so I thought I'd give it a try. So far so good, that's why I included it to my faves.
(14) She Laq Makeup Sealer: Again this was purchased in states, I can only say that it's 'OK' not gonna repurchase (too expensive)
I am saying expensive a lot lol the name says it all, a makeup sealer. You use this on any part of your face you want to seal like on your eye to seal your eyeshadow. On your lips to seal in your lipstick. Some girls uses this on their brows. I tried all but failed, quite honestly I only included this to say that I didn't like it at all. It makes my face itch.
(15) NARS Barbarella Lipstick: Last but not least, my favourite everyday lipstick. Goes well with any makeup I wear! This is like my third tube of NARS lipstick. I love this shade so much even though it's a little too pricey. Notice I am saying 'expensive' a lot. Seriously, when I like a certain product I could care less about the price but sometimes it's always nice to look for alternatives that won't make your pocket bleed. Hope this helps and I'm sure this is gonna make you want to shop so happy shopping!
