Monthly Favorites : April 2014.

Alright, another series that I’m attempting to complete! So let’s just jump right in and see what has been working for me this month.

{ BASE }

Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum

I did a review on it which you can read here, and I feel that this just gives an amazing base which evens out your skin tone really well.

Smells amazing, looks amazing, feels amazing. What’s there not to love?

Bobbi Brown BB Cream

I’m aware that Bobbi Brown has came out with a CC cream which I’m very keen on getting because I’ve seen someone use it and I love the coverage it gives and the finish it has.

This evens out my skin tone and leaves a slight dewy finish. I like using this for a natural look and just for an everyday wear.

Trying not to finish this too fast because it isn’t cheap!

{ FACE }

Topshop Cream Blush in Neon Rose.

I can’t find it on the web, but I’m pretty sure it’s sold in stores!

This is my definitely go to blush for a “glowing” look as it makes me seem alive, healthy and fresh.

It gives you a little of the flush you get after a long run, and I like to put this on my cheekbones.

{ LIPS }

Stila Lip Glaze in Melon.
(I can’t find the link, but I got this in the Christmas set)

This is an amazing lip gloss as it doesn’t feel as though you have something on your lips. It smells nice too!

The color “Melon” is really natural and perfect for an everyday look.

My pet peeves about lip glosses are their stick factor and this is not as sticky as the other lip glosses out there which is a plus point because now it won’t seem as you have glue on your lips!

{ EYES }

Maybelline Rocket Volum’ Express.

This mascara lengthens my lashes like no other, and I had a guy who asked me if I fake lashes on.

Not sure if it’s because guys can’t really tell, or maybe it made my lashes really long. I really like the staying power, it’s pretty hard to remove and it isn’t even the waterproof formula!

It’s the perfect “in a rush” product to use because you can definitely see a difference when you have this on.

But lately I’ve seen some smudging, which isn’t much of a problem because I have my new Bioderma micellar water.

{ MISC }

Bioderma Sensibio H2O.

This is perfect for removing those mascara smudges or eyeliner problems. The best part is that you don’t have to rinse it off, how much more convenient can it get?

I will definitely be repurchasing it when there’s a discount.

Real Techniques Expert Face Brush.

This brush is firm and does an amazing job at blending out the foundation. It feels amazing on the skin and the shorter bristles and how dense it is makes it a holy grail brush for me.

Though my E.L.F brushes are really soft, this brush has won my heart over them. Looking forward to get more in the future!

My everyday makeup routine. | Blogmas Day 18.

I had absolutely no idea what to post next, so here’s an everyday makeup routine that I think is really natural and useful for beginners.

Above, is how I’d apply the items to my face in order.

First, I’d start off by covering all the imperfections and dark circles with my Maybelline Waterproof Stick Concealer. 

Then I’d fill my brows in with Maybelline Define-A-Brow, only at the areas where lacks brow hair.

Right below, I’ll use Wet n Wild Eyeshadow Trio in Walking On Eggshells and apply it on my lid and crease.

Followed by Wet n Wild’s Megalast Retractable Eyeliner in Blackest Black. If you want a more natural look, try brown instead.

CoverGirl’s Clump Crusher is beginning to tickle my fancy again, just because it’s waterproof and I’ve been going out a lot and I don’t want mascara to end up below my eyes.

Nars’ Orgasm Blush is perfect for giving me that healthy, youthful glow. My favorite blusher that’s for sure!

Last but not least, Urban Decay’s Lip Stain in Envious. This is suitable for an everyday look because it isn’t too dark or light. Also, I don’t have to reapply it every now and then, so it’s awesome!

That’s all I have for today, stay tuned for more!
