December 2k13 Favorites

Hello my dear beautiful people! :D How's your week going? I hope you are having a great one. Moving on, please excuse my tardiness with regards to posting my monthly favorites. ^^v I was actually not really planning to make a post about my December favorites because I just shared my Top 13 Products of 2013 a few days ago and I don't want to bombard you with my favorite products. (How many times did I mention the word "favorite/s"? Haha) But then, I realized I have some awesome stuff to share with you, guys, so here it is. ;D

  ✿ ❀ ✿ ❀ ✿ ❀ ✿ ❀ ✿ ❀

❀ Burt's Bees Radiance Day Cream

- This cream makes my skin feel so soft and smooth. It is also so light and perfect to use before applying makeup. This is a bit on the pricier side but a little goes a very long way and I think it's worth it.

✿ Quick FX No-shine Mattifier

- This primer does the job so well. It makes my skin so smooth and the makeup application so easy. It also keeps my makeup in place for quite a long time and keep the oiliness at bay. An awesome product for a cheap price.

❀ Fashion 21 Single Eyeshadow in 20

- I use this baby as a brow powder and it works pretty great. The color is perfect for me. It gives that nice, natural look. Oh, and it is inexpensive.

✿ MAC Notoriety Eyeshadow Quad

- I love all the colors in this palette. Of course, the pigmentation, texture, and longevity are also perfect. 

 ❀ Japonesque Precision Lash Curler

-This baby curls my eye lashes without giving that "L" kind of curl. 

 ✿ Artist Studio Angled Eyeshadow Brush

- If I remember it right, I got this brush for only less than 30 Php and I can't believe how awesome it is. I can do a complete eye look with just this brush. I can also use it to contour the nose. It doesn't shed or anything. I have washed it a couple of times already but it is still pretty strong and great. A must-have.

  

 ❀ Ever Bilena Matte Lipstick in Mauvey

- I love the color, longevity, price and availability of this lipstick. It also doesn't dry out my lips. I guess the only thing that I'm not a big fan of is the packaging.  

✿ Watsons Cleansing Facial Wipes

- This works great on removing any makeup, may it be waterproof or not. It also leaves my skin feeling moisturized. Lastly, it is pretty cheap which is awesome. 

❀ Garnier Oil Clear Self-Heating Sauna Mask

- This mask leaves my skin feeling so fresh and clean. I also think that it does help prevent oiliness. (BTW, I have combination skin and I do get so oily at times. But thanks to this, I guess, because now I don't get tooooo oily. ) It is also so inexpensive and it contains a lot. I've used  a sachet 5 times already and I still have a bit left on that one. I have a quite a small face, though. 

 ✿ Abahna White Grapefruit & May Chang Natural Wax Scented Candle

- I love the scent of this candle. It is so refreshing. 

❀ Heart Shaped Earring 

- I got this pair of earrings as a birthday gift from a dear friend of mine and I really love it. She knows me too well. I've been wearing this nonstop.

That's it my loves. Short and sweet. I hope you enjoyed. Thank you for spending time with me. Let's talk some more later. Bye! xo

Facial Mask Haul | Dec. '13 ^^,

I know! I know! I should have hauled my stuff collectively. But what can I do? I didn't expect that I would be visiting the mall frequently this month. Yes, I did go to the mall again. Yesterday, while we were on our way to Bulacan to attend my aunties's house blessing, we had a brief stopover at SM Pampanga to buy some food but I ended up at Watson's. Hahaha. Let's now see what I got. 

Let's first take the two extras out of the way. :)

1.) Ever Bilena Advance HD Concealer Pencil (100 Php)

- I think I'll  use this as a inner rim liner, brow lifter or reverse lip liner

2.) Accent False Eyelashes (98 Php)

- I know I'm too much with regards to buying false eyelashes but this will be the last.... at least for this year. :P

If you've been a loyal reader of mine, you probably have an idea about the "phases". Right at this moment, I'm having the face mask phase. :) I really went crazy.  

3.) Garnier Lightening Peel-off Mask (49 Php each)

- Peel off masks are my favorite. They are so fun to use. :D

4.) Garnier Self-heating Mask (49 Php each)

5.) Purederm Moisture Mask (89 Php)

6.) Purederm Yogurt Mask (89 Php)

7.) Purederm Peeling Gel Mask (99 Php)

8.) Beauty Buffet Sheet Mask (44 Php each)

Because mask are meant to be used weekly or fortnightly, I bet I have enough to last me half a year or probably even more. :) That is it for this post. I'll talk to you again later. Enjoy the Christmas Eve my loves. Let's eat a lot ;) xo
