I apologize for the hiatus; I had been overseas for 3 weeks but now I'm back in blogging business! :) Here are my most used and loved items for the month of January!
Dior Amber Diamond
I use Amber Diamond daily, not fearing I'll hit pan on it soon! It does look a little too shimmery in the pan but I promise you that once you apply few swipes of it on your face, it will only leave it looking glowing and luminous and not overdone. I usually do a light swipe of it down my nose, some on top of my cheekbones and a little dab on cupid's bow.

MAC Beauties Play It Cool (LE - A Tartan Tale)
I have surprisingly neglected this little palette for the longest time. Happy that I rediscovered it because the looks you can do with these 6 shades is endless! I love purples, they look beautiful with brown and green eyes :)

MAC Wedge
I have been obsessed with Wedge since I bought it last month. I use it to blend anything and everything. Wedge is a very versatile color; you can use it to blend two colors together or use it to blend out just one color which is what I am doing lately. While in Turkey, I "stole" my sister's All That Glitters quite a bit, I used that all over my lid with Wedge on crease and voila! :)

MUFE Smoky Lash
Smoky Lash was everything I wanted it to be! Lengthening, volumizing, thickening, defining and the list goes on! Definitely delivers, couldn't be happier with it! :)

Shu Uemura Painting Liner
The only other gel liner I have ever tried was that of Wet n Wild's, which dried up to a little ball in no time. Then I met Shu Uemura's painting liner and wow! I have been absolutely loving this gel liner for the past couple of months now and I can't say enough about it! It lasts all day, literally it will not come off unless you take it off! It applies very smoothly and is really easy to work with. I don't only use it to line my lids but also in my waterline and it stays on :) I use it in conjunction with my angled liner brush.

Givenchy Ange ou Démon Le Secret
I lusted over this scent ever since I received a little sample of it that came with the purchase of another perfume a while back. Had I known I will love it more than the perfume I purchased, I would have got this instead! Well, my wish was granted and I got this as a birthday gift back in December :)

Lush Lemony Flutter Cuticle Cream
My cuticles have gone out of control! I think I contributed to their current condition as I have the very bad habit of snipping them :s I know I know, we're supposed to only gently push them back so that's why I resorted to Lush's Lemony Flutter and I am really happy with it! I use it on all my dry spots, in addition to cuticles, like on top of my hands, elbows, heels etc. I can see a little physical difference in my cuticles, obviously I can't expect huge changes overnight, I've been only using this cream for a little over 3 weeks, so far so good though! Plus I'm a sucker for lemon scent!

I really need to get that Dior highlighter, everyone raves about it! Wedge doesn't work for me at all :( I much prefer cork! Love that perfume too, i used to have it!
ReplyDeleteSmokey lash pek övülüyor şu sıra, ben de denemek istiyorum. Ange ou demon kullanmıştım normal olanını, bu versiyonu daha mı hafif acaba? Çok ağır buluyorum da diğerini.
ReplyDeleteThe Dior highlighter looks so beautiful! :) I'm sure it's gorgeous on :D I need to try MUFE's Smokey lashes now!
