BBB-->April 2011 Favorites

Heey I know it's been a long time since I shared my monthly favorites
But since I got more time to write blog, I'm going to share my April favorites.

1. Urban Decay Naked palette
I LOVE LOVE this palette...I've been using this palette for almost everyday since I got it.
Especially the colors: Virgin, Sin, Sidecar, Darkhorse and Toasted
These colors are so amazing, the pigmentation of the shadows is great and the color payoff is nice as well.

2. Sephora perfection primer
I got this on the Sephora sale for 3 euro's? it was 17 euro's before the sale...
This primer is great because it helps your foundation last longer and it gives your face a dewy, healthy look
The texture is soft and easy to apply
It has pink pearly shine, and that makes your skin glow.
I really recommend this foundation primer!
3. Revlon Colorstay foundation for combination/oily skin # sand beige
Just like everyone says...this is probably the BEST drugstore foundation!
I don't have to say a lot...JUST GO BUY IT!
The coverage is perfect...and it last all day long, what do you expect more?
I noticed that it controls oil. I have really oily skin on my T-zone, sometimes I need to blot my face once in an hour, but when I have this foundation on, I don't feel like my T-zone is that oily as usual.
The only negative thing that I can think of this foundation is probably that this foundation is not the easiest to blend, it dries fast, so you have to work very quick. And don't apply this with a regular foundation brush, you will see strikes on your face, when you are in a hurry and don't have much time to blend.
Apply it with a sponge or a flat top brush like the E.L.F powder brush or the Sigma F80 Flat top kabuki brush.
O...forgot to mention...I don't like the packaging...It doesn't have a pump=_= it's so hard to control the amount. But I heard that they DO have a pump version in Asia..So I'm going to check when I'm there.







 


4. NARS Blush #Orgasm
I Love love this blush....the color is beautiful and the pigmentation is perfect. The golden shimmers show good on my face, and add glow on my skin.
5. Revlon Colorstay liquid lipstick in #065 Prized Peach
This color is so amazing, it matches my skintone perfectly. the color is peach, and it's so easy to apply..
This liquid lipstick dries in a minute, and I always add lip gloss on top. Any translucent lip gloss will show nicely on top of this liquid lipstick.
I pair it off with Anna Sui sui lip gloss in #307
7. Maybelline color sensation lipstick in #445 Ginger Spice



 

I said it before, this color is not the color that I used to buy, but it looks so nice on me and became my favorite lipstick.

6. Maybelline Color Sensation lipstick in # 442 Coral Tonic

Orange/Coral is IN this year. I found that I have Coral lipstick that I bought a year ago?  But I never had the chance to wear it. Now that it's in, I worn this very often, and it actually looks nice on me as well=D

7. Gosh soft'n shine lip balm in #Sweetheart.
I've been talking about this lip balm in the last few blog posts. So you know how much I love this lip balm.
Especially this color. It's sooo beautiful, it matches everyone I think..
(Shit, I should have bought more during the sale..)
Skincare part
1. Naruko apple seed& Tranexamic acid Soothing white hydra essence
I saw this product on the Queen show(女人我最大)
it says that this essence can light up acne scars, so I decided to get this essence.
I've been using this for only 2 weeks, I can't say that I noticed any difference.
But it feels really hydrating on my skin. I use this together with the Clinique 3-step system, after the exfoliating lotion 3. Sometimes I feel like the Clinique lotion dries my skin, and after I use this essence after the Clinique lotion, my skin feels hydrated again.

And I really like the packaging design. It actually has a stoppage at the opening of the bottle so it doesn't evaporate. 

2. Naruko Marjoram and lavender brightening eye cream
I love this eye cream because it's texture is great. It's soft and easy to apply. It absorb quickly and it feels great after application.
I noticed difference, before applying this eye cream and after.
My dark circles do look less dark, and more bright.
I will definitely repurchase this product.

3. Naruko Job's Tears whitening and cooling Night Gelly
Job's Tears is a grain-bearing tropical plant. Job's tears is actually the grain of this plant. This plant are used in many ways, and it's very common in Asia. In Korea they have Job's tears tea.
In Hong Kong, Taiwan and China, they have job's tears desserts
In Thailand, they have job's tears soy milk.
In Vietnam, they have job's tears cold soup.
It's also used alongside with other herbs in the traditional Chinese medicine.

I Love this night gelly because it's so moisturizing after I applied it for a night. The morning after, my skin looks great...it's glowing and tight.
the gelly absorbs well so you don't have to worry about your hair, that it sticks on your hair all night long.
I also apply it on my neck, because I don't want to see any discoloration between my face and my neck.
The next morning you just have to wash it off with a facial cleanser.

I hope you enjoyed reading. =D See you next time ^_^
