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

Top 13 Products of 2013

Happy new year my loves!! I know it is a tad bit late but whatevs, right? Haha ;D Anyways, as I say my farewell to 2013 I would like to share my top 13 products of that year. I actually had a bit of a hard time choosing just 13 products but luckily I managed to do so. These are the products that have been closest to my heart. ;) They have been my favorites, go-to and lifesavers. C'mon now and let me share them to you one by one. ^^,

❀ ✿ ❀ ✿ ❀ ✿ ❀ ✿ ❀ ✿ ❀ ✿

1.) ELF Mineral Infused Face Primer

- This does the job so well. It sure makes my makeup last all day long. Being a product from ELF, it is also inexpensive.  

2.) Etude's Precious Mineral BB Cream  All Day Strong with SPF 30/PA++

- My go-to base. This makes my skin look flawless. I love love love the coverage, the longevity and the dewy finish that this product gives. The price is not that bad either.  

3.) NYX Rouge Cream Blush in Natural

- It does give that natural flush. It also lasts fairly long. This is perfect for everyday use.    

4.) Covergirl Lash Blast Fusion in Black

- This is my go-to mascara. It gives the perfect volume and length. It never flakes or smudges on me. Lastly, it is easy to remove.

5.) Marionnaud N.38 Eyes

- This is the only brush that I use for my brows. The spoolie is great. The angled liner brush is not too long or short, has the perfect density, and when I use it to fill my brows it helps to give just that natural look. 

6.) Vaseline Lip Therapy in Cherry

- This is what I always use to prep my lips before applying any other lip product and whenever my lip gets chapped.  

7.) Customized Lip Balm Stain

- I'm so happy with this product. I mixed two lip products (ELF Lip Stain in Birthday Suit + Maybelline Lips Pink Glow in Mixed Berry) myself and the outcome, I believe, is great. It does last for a long time and I love the color.

8.) Revlon Color Burst Lip Butter in Strawberry Shortcake

- I adore the awesome formula of the lip butters and this is my go-to color. 

9.) Garnier Light Complete Multi-Action Brightening Scrub

- For me, this is definitely the best facial scrub ever. First of all, it is not abrasive. It leaves my skin so clean and bright. It is very affordable, too.  

10.) Glamworks Charcoal Nose Pore Strip

- This does the job and takes away the nasty blackheads. 

11.) Quick FX Pimple Eraser

- This does wonders. All I need is a teeny tiny bit and it will dry out my pimples and leaves no scars. 

12.) Zenzest Eau de Toilette in Coral

- I love love love this scent. Need I say more? 

13.) Dove Hair Therapy Refresh + Care Invigorating Dry Shampoo

- This is my life saver. It keeps my hair clean and refresh and it keeps the oiliness at bay for a very long period of time. 

That's it for my top 13 of 2013. How about you beauties? What's your top 13 products last year. I would surely love to know. ;) I know you've seen most, if not all, of these products before but I hope you still enjoyed this post.

Let's all have a wonderful 2014 and make this our best year yet. xo

November Loves ^^,

Happy Holidays my loves!! :D Is it obvious how excited I am about the holidays? haha. Well, I am pretty positive I am not the only one. Right? Anyways, today I'll be sharing the items that I've been loving for the month of November. I know... I know I am super late but again it's better late than never. Also, there are lots of stuff going on in my mind right now so that's why. With that said, lets just keep this short and sweet. ;)

-------------------------- \ (* u *) / ----------------------------

1 Quick FX Pimple Eraser

My skin was breaking out last month and this has been a huge help. It does dry out pimples fast. All I need is just a tiny little bit. This small pack will surely last me quite a while. It is also pretty inexpensive. I got it from Watson's for less than a hundred.

2 Garnier Skin Naturals Light Complete Multi-Action Brightening Scrub

This scrub is nowhere near abrasive. It is very gentle but I can feel that it exfoliates and cleanses my skin very well. It also has a nice refreshing scent that I really love. Lastly, it is very affordable.  

3 The Body Shop Ginger Sparkle Lip Balm

This balm has a very thin and light consistency. Putting this on my lips feels like applying nothing. But, it moisturizes very well... sooo sooo well. I can't even tell you how much I love it. It doesn't have any color pay off but it has this beautiful sparkles. Sadly, I'm not sure if this is available this year because I believe this was from their last year's holiday collection. Yes, I got it a year ago and I don't know why I decided to use it and discovered its beauty just recently.

4 Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Cherish 

The longevity is awesome. The texture is perfect. The color is love. The scent is nice. F A V O R I T E !!

5 Rose Gold Necklaces from BopBop Shop

6 DKNY Sequin Bracelet

That brings this post to an end. I hope you enjoyed. I'll talk to you again soon. Let's all have an awesome, wonderful, unforgettable holidays. Bye! :*
