I can't believe it's already December! Where did November go?! This period in the school year is a busy one with reports, concerts and assessments taking place. So that is what I have been doing mainly these days. I can't wait to be on holidays in just under 2 weeks time!
So I thought, I would post a favourites blog post on beauty products I have been getting the most out of from the past 2 months. Some are oldies and a few a newbies!
 |
| L-R: Laura M Tinted Moisturiser, Skindinavia Makeup Finishing Spray, Milani Blush, Maybelline Age Rewind Concealer, L'Action Lip Plumper, Gerarc Cosmetics Hydra Matte Liquid Lipstick. |
#1 Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturiser in Sand: A few weeks ago, I dyed my hair a dark plum shade and found that this suited my skin better as it added more warmth than my beloved Garnier BB Cream. I forgot just how luminous, refining this moisturiser makes my skin look and I am in love again!
#2 Skindinavia Makeup Finishing Spray: So I got this as I wanted to see if the brand who makes the Urban Decay one is any better. The weather has actually got much cooler now but I still spritz this on to ensure my makeup remains intact throughout the working day. It feels refreshing and light and I am pleased to say I think it holds the makeup much longer than the Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray!
#3 Milani Baked Blush in Rose D'oro: I added this to my cart whilst shopping for the new Milani Liquid Lipsticks. I had wanted to get a few darker lip shades for the Autumn/Winter and thought as I loved Luminoso so much why not try another baked blush. I researched the shades and narrowed it down to Rose D'oro which is so pretty. I used as a blush topper and it works wonders to luminate my skin like Luminoso does so thumbs up!
#4 Maybelline Age Rewind Concealer in Medium: I bought this back in the summer as I heard a lot of hype about this concealer and now I understand why! It is lightweight but provides medium - full coverage and is just perfect. It is blendable and matches my skintone and I also own another shade for my under eyes. So this looks like my new 'go-to' concealer now.
#5 L'Action Lip Plumper: I mentioned this a few months ago as it was a random purchase from Carrefour. I have to say it is one of the top lip plumping products I have owned as it is moisturising, lightweight and it does not create any tingling sensation on lips when plumping. Just incase you are wondering my top three lip plumping products are: Buxom, Soap and Glory and then L'Action.
#6 Gerard Cosmetics Hydra Matte Liquid Lipstick in Skinny Dip: GC have come out with a load of hydra mattes lately. I believe over 10 which has added to their collection which started off as only 6. They now have I think almost 30 shades?! Anyways, I saw this on beauty vlogger Camilla Coehlo and thought it looked pretty for an everyday natural mauve-pink/brown lip colour. It is moisturising and the colour payoff is beautiful. However I am wanting to compare it with the earlier lipsticks I own, as I feel the longevity is shorter, possibly with this new more watery formula. I will keep you posted!
That's a wrap, I have been using the above for at least a month now. I think I will do a post on my travel makeup next, as I will be going home for the holidays and I will be switching up a few products.
P.S. The background for the products here is actually one of my clutch bags which was a gift from Pakistan :P
Love & Blessings,
