SUMMER MOST LOVED PRODUCTS 2016

This post is very long overdue! This year's summer was definitely the best! We had almost a month's worth of consistent heat and sunny days which is pretty amazing for Wellington! As the heat rises, its time to ditch a full coverage base and swap to a lighter one! My skin also tends to feel dry so little oomph of moisturiser is much needed! Summer calls for a little light, fresh, and dewy look. Personally, I like the look of imperfect skin peeping through as it looks natural and very fresh!

BEST OF LUST HAVE IT 2015

Lust Have It is the only beauty subscription that I'm subscribe to for the whole 2015. I have to admit it was definitely a hit and miss for through out the year. There was a time that it was all skincare and I didn't really enjoy it that much. But towards the end, it has gotten better! They listened, and included more makeup products than usual! On top of that, most products are full size!

Current Favourites | Going Dewy for Spring!

For everyday wear, I like to spice up things and rotate in between products that works great depending on how my skin is behaving. At the moment, I have been into "less is more" look with a bit of glow than my usual matte look. I do have oily skin, but I kind of like to keep a little dew on the right places. 

THE FACE: POWDER FAVOURITES

From my past blog post read here, I did a full face powder foundation routine which transitioned my perspective towards powders! I used to hate putting on too much powder as it can appear mask looking, and heavy to the skin. With our latest innovations and advance technologies, they have created a powder formula that does not only keep your oils at bay, but also make your skin look more glowy and healthy but blurs out all imperfections giving you the most natural flawless look. 

THE FACE: Back with the Old

It has been awhile since I did this series in my blog. Recently, I have been reorganising my makeup drawers. To my surprise, I found products that I love that I used to love when I was just getting into makeup. If you are a makeup lover/hoarder, you start to accumulate products and get with the trend you forget the products that used to be your jam.

CURRENT FAVORITES : On-the-go Products

I don't typically follow trends or tags but after watching / reading so many favorites, I thought I would share mine too! My favorites are basically the same except for maybe one or two products that are in rotation depending on what I feel like. I used to be a fan of full coverage, super matte look mainly because I was suffering from bad acne (biggest insecurity ever) and wanted to mask that all away.

CURRENT FAVOURITES: Shopping from my stash

I'm proud to say that I haven't been on a makeup spree shopping lately. I realized that there's no point to hoard more products if I still have tons of stuff hiding away in my makeup storage. So I decided to shop my stash instead, found my most loved makeup products and started using it again!

Post Summer Favorites

These days, I like to keep everything simple when it comes to my go-to makeup. The more versatile the products are, the better. I'm a big fan of being able to use one product more than what it is meant for. Transitioning from summer to winter does not mean that you can't use minimal products onto your skin.  The lighter the base, the better it is for the skin.

CURRENT FAVORITES: WATER RESISTANT, HUMIDITY, HEAT PROOF

I can finally say it is officially summer! First time in a year that I used cold water to shower, and turn on the fan at night time. For the makeup, sweat proof and humidity proof products are the most ideal products to have. You don't want to be talking to people with makeup melting off your face because that's not a good look! I have to say one of the things I don't like is when the mascara is smudging all over the under eye area. Makes you look like Joker from Batman! LOL.

CURRENT FAVORITES: Lightweight Products

Another month has gone by and we are already on the first day of the last month of 2014! It was a crazy ride for sure! I only have a few favorites since I've been using the same products from my previous favorites post. Well I added a few and also went back to some old favorites. 

Current Favorites: Products behind the scenes

 

I did my current favorites not too long ago and I'm back again with a few 'oldie but a goodie' products that I rotate every now and then. This time it is a mixture of things that I use but never get any special mention on the blog.

Current Favorites: Spring Flings

So much has changed in my daily routine. Now that it is spring time, I have come to let go of my full coverage bases and converted myself into lightweight bases and dewy finish. 'Dewy' I know! I use to complain about having oily skin, but recently I learned to embrace my natural oils. It is not that bad as long as you have the right products to tame the grease a bit. Being 'on the go' most of the time, I have to narrow down what I use in my face. Focusing on a more natural look with a bit of color is my way to go.

Current Favorites: Essential Makeup Brushes

I'm back again after awhile of being MIA. I have been on the go lately and barely had time to update and do all creative stuff. Reality is, I sometimes find it a bit challenging to work between my real job and blogging. Anyway, makeup brushes are good investments

when indulging in beauty products. It makes any application 100 times better and mess free. Of course there's your magic fingers which are free but then it tends to get all over the place! The truth is, you don't have to own gazillion brushes to achieve a look. As long as you have the basic tools that can multi-task, you're all set. Here are my top picks:

Current Favorites: Saving dry skin and hair

Winter season is definitely taking a toll on me. My skin misbehaves like no other, dry patches everywhere, cold sores in my hands, dry ends, chapped lips- you name it all! My main concern is my dry hands and lips. For the past week, I've been on a hunt for products that will miraculously work wonders. Upon browsing through numerous pharmacies and department stores, I stumbled upon products that I would never thought in a million years to fall in love with. These products are awesome and I'm surprised that no one have mentioned or talked about it online. 

Current Favourites: MAY PICK ME UPS

It is that time again where I share with you guys some products that I have been loving as of recently. I literally use these products every single day and became part of my daily routine. Now that winter is here in southern hemisphere,
