January Favorites!

Hi ladies!!!! Welcome to another favorites' post! :D OMG! I know I constantly repeat myself when it comes to a monthly favorite's post but why do these months fly by soooo fast!?!? Please tell me why?! Anyways, I didn't have a  lot of make-up favorites this month but more of the skin care products. I don't really talk about skin care products because I honestly never really cared for my face. I mean skin wise. Since it's a new year and a new me, I have definitely been wanting to take care of my face more. With that being said, lets gooo! 

ORIGINS- Out of trouble 10 Minute Mask to Rescue Problem Skin

YES! This mask is everything right now! I don't know where this mask has been all my life! I have been using this mask religiously ever since I got it. I got it 2 weeks ago and I already see progress! Yes! Progress! I have used Origins' masks before and I have always been a fan of them. I don't know why I ever stop. This definitely has helped cleared my skin up a bit. It's not such a drastic change but seeing progress on my skin is definitely better than none. It has a mediciny smell and I can feel the cooling of it on my skin. I leave it on for 10 minutes and wash it off with a wet face cloth. I use it 2 or 3 times a week or just on places whenever I feel like a pimple or something is popping up on my face. This product definitely has a permanent spot in my skin regimen.

ORIGINS- GinZeng Refreshing Eye Cream

Speaking of loving Origins, here's an eye cream for ya! I have always been on the hunt for a good eye cream. I know that it's very hard to find a good eye cream that's going to completely make the dark circles or bags disappear. But I feel like this eye cream has definitely helped a little. Like I mentioned about the mask, it takes time for results to show so seeing a little progress is definitely a good sign. Applying this every night under my eyes has definitely helped my bags become smaller and less dark. I will definitely be continuing to use it to see the final results.

Nature Republic- Aqua Moisture Watery Toner

I have been using this toner every night and it has definitely helped my skin looking a little more flawless :p Even after using my clarisonic, this toner can still clean off the extra makeup that's lurking on my skin. I mean, that is the point of a toner but this combined with my moisturizer just makes my skin feel super clean and refreshed. And the pink makes the bottle super cute as well! 

Too Faced- Born this Way Foundation

I have been dying to try this foundation ever since it came out! So many people were raving about this product so much that I was trying so hard to get my hands on it. After trying it out, I did not like it. I don't know why it wasn't working out for me. I paired it with the Too Faced HangoverRx primer and it was not a good combination for me. It felt so thick and I hate the feeling of makeup on my face. I love a lightweight foundation and for some reason I couldn't make it work. When I was about to give up on this foundation, I decided to use a different brush just to see if that was the reason for the dense application on my face and sure enough, the new brush made it glide on like no makeup was on my face. After that, I've continued to use it again and now its become a favorite.

NYX- Tinted Brow Mascara

I've been using this tinted brow for awhile now and I just keep forgetting to mention it sooooo, I've decided to include this in my January favorites! This tinted brow mascara is pretty good at taming the eyebrow hairs. After discovering brow gel, I can not do my eye brows without it! I really like this one because I love the wand. It's super tiny and can tame the edge of my brows. I used the Anastasia brow gel first which got me hooked on it to begin with but the wand was a little big and it was kind of messy. The Nyx brow mascara is a little harder to use because the product can also become messy but if you use a little at a time, the product will come out nicely. And the affordable price is always a plus ;)

Ardell Natural Lashes

For someone who did not like to use mascara or really cared for the eyelashes, these lashes are starting to grow on me. These ardell lashes are so natural looking that it looks like real lashes! Okay that's a little exaggerating but it really is so natural looking that it's the prefect lashes to wear out anywhere. I have been really into the false lashes lately and I can't wait to start venturing off to more bolder lashes.

Japonesque- Blending Brush

At first I thought this brush was too small to be any good but little did I know, the brush was actually the best blending brush I've used! Next to my real techniques one. My real techniques one was a little big so it was a little harder to blend since my eyes are smaller. But this one, the brush is perfect for blending. I especially like using this one on my crease. The bristles are soft and not too long making it really easy to use. The bristles are  a little dirty because I do use it everyday for my eyes :p

This is all I have for my favorites post! Thank you for checking it out! If any of these products interests you then give it a try. These are all of my own opinions so some of the products I mention may work for me and not you. Overall, thank you again and I'll see you in my next post! 

OCTOBER FAVORITES!

Hi everyone! I'm alive!!! I have not been able to post anything up lately because I have been so busy! But now that I feel like I've settled down, I want to share some of my favorite products for the month of October. Besides being busy, the reason I haven't been posting my favorites for the last two months was because I haven't really tried any new products or seemed to have any new favorites. It's so hard to always find a new product to like when I'm still loving the same old products. But I have been collecting some new products for the last two months and I am excited to share them!

BH COSMETICS- 6TH EDITION 

Swatches of some of my favorite colors from the palette.  I wish there was names for each of these colors. They are beautiful.

This is my first time purchasing from BH Cosmetics and I am so bummed that I have not tried any products from this line until now. This line has so many amazing products and they are so affordable. I picked up this palette because I saw many colors that I like.This palette is everything right now. There are so many eye shadows for me to create endless looks with. The colors are so beautiful! It's so rich and pigmented. I use very little to apply on my eyes. The best part about this palette is that the price is so amazing. It is so affordable. I am so happy I caught this palette at a good time. It was on sale for only $12.00! The prices for these products changes around but it will not go over $25.00 or $30.00. I have been wanting to try some of their brushes because I've heard so many good reviews about it. There is so many good things about BH Cosmetics. You won't regret getting something from here. I have another palette that I recently bought from BH Cosmetics. I can't wait to share it! Stay tune for it in my next post! 

TARTE- TARTIEST CLAY PAINT LINER

I love this brush. It's very thin and curvy making it so easy to apply.

I finally understand the beauty of this product! It is innovative and very different from other eyeliners out there. It comes in a tube and it also comes with an angled eyeliner brush. This will help you create the finest and sharpest wing liner. I seriously love this thing! It helps quicken my makeup routine so much faster than before. It is also very smooth and easy to apply. Any newbies can create a pro wing liner like they've been doing it forever. I'm not going to lie, I am not the best at wing liners but this beauty here helped me so much. You don't even need a lot. A little goes a long way. I have my tube for almost two months now and I still have a full tube. I use it everyday too. It's quite pricey but it is so worth it. Hands down my favorite eyeliner. 

IT COSMETICS- BYE BYE UNDER EYE ANTI-AGING CONCEALER

I love this concealer. It is the best concealer I have ever owned. No lie! I've tried so many and it's so difficult to find one that can cover my panda eyes. The formula is so thick so a little goes a long way. I heard people said it's hard to use this concealer correctly and it's true. The thickness is no joke. It can get cakey under the eyes. It will help if you find a setting powder to keep it in place. Other than that, I know this is going to be in my collection for a while.

MAC- PREP+PRIME FIX+

After hearing so many good reviews and seeing everyone using this product I knew I had to try it out. I have used only one good setting spray and I was hoping this one will be as good. As it turned out, I love it! It keeps my make-up on all day. It's also very hydrating so those of you that have dry skin will love it. I see a technique that many people use with this spray. They would spritz some on their make-up brushes before applying their foundation or eye shadows. I heard it gives them better pigmentation. I've yet to try that but I will eventually.

THE BALM COSMETICS- MEET MATT(E) HUGHES LONG-LASTING LIQUID LIPSTICK

I didn't expect to like this liquid lipstick so much because of the color. I got this sample size liquid lipstick from my October ipsy glam bag. I've heard of so many good things about The Balm cosmetics and I have always wanted to try. I'm so happy I got this. For some reason I find this color to be very flattering on me. The color is pink. I don't usually go for pink lipsticks but this one looked too good to pass on. I like the formula as well because it stays on my lips all day. I don't even reapply the whole day! It also smells really good. It smells like mint. There is nothing better than a lipstick that smells good.

ESSIE NAIL POLISH- BRIDES TO BE

Usually for October I tend to go for darker nail polishes but this time, I went with a pale pinkish color. I love colors like this. It's a nice pastel pink which makes my nails look very chic and natural. The pastel color nail polishes are lighter so it does require more than one coating. I also love essie's nail polishes. 

JAPONESQUE- SOLID BRUSH CLEANSER

Cleaning brushes has never been so easy! I really don't know why I discovered this product so late. But it's okay, better late than never right? After discovering this brush cleanser, I have been so happy with the results of my brushes. It such a unique brush cleanser. It makes my brushes look and feel like it's new again. All I do is swirl my brushes around the "balm" of the cleanser and I can see the make-up on the brushes disappear! I love it! It's innovative and made for quick and easy brush cleaning. It makes cleaning brushes fun. No joke! If you've been on the hunt for a brush cleaner, get this one a try! You won't regret it!
