August Favourites

It's finally the end of August which mean I have officially been blogging for a month now. Woohoo!! To end this month post, I decided to wrap it up with the typical monthly favourites post. This month favourites are all about the old and new goodies discoveries.

Jouer Matte Moisture tint in Porcelain
For the past couple of months, I have been digging Jouer Matte moisture tint (review here). Wearing it religiously almost everyday when I'm wearing makeup. I would say that this would be my HG base product. I just could not believe how incredibly smooth and blendable it's on the skin. It looks so natural, great for a no-makeup makeup look.

Rimmel Stay Matte powder
Rimmel Stay Matte powder in translucent, this powder works wonder. I believe almost everyone including their mom have this powder. It's cheap and reliable.

MAC Fix+
I bought this ages ago thinking it would be a great multipurpose product. But I could not seem to like it as much as I thought. I was trying to finish it up and ended up loving. I mainly use it as a finishing spray to make my face look less cakey and powdery. I would probably gravitate toward this on the colder season.

Maybelline Instant Age-rewind concealer 
I would say, this concealer lives up the hype. The unique ball-like applicator makes applying the concealer more fun.

Maybelline the Collossal in Cat eye
I have a super stubborn straight lashes and when I apply mascara, it wouldn't hold up the curl at all which really pissed me off. I tried trying different types of mascara, from the high to low. But it seems like this is the only mascara that holds up the curl. Although, I did try the Falsies and it's pretty awesome but it kind of irritates my eyes sometimes.

NARS Satin lip pencil in Yu
By now, you would probably know my love affairs towards Nars product. I just love every single product that I have purchase from them. And this time, it's their new release Satin lip pencil in Yu. The texture is very creamy and moisturising on the lips. The colour payoff is very intense and vibrant. Been using it to rock the gradient lip looks(tutorial here).


TonyMoly Crystal Blusher in Milky Violet
This blusher has been laying around in the corner of my vanity for the longest time. I did not seem to give as much attention as I should. Decided to give it some love this month and fell in-love all over again. The colour is very unique, I would say a pastel purple or a lilac. It gives a subtle glow from within when I wear this. Very flattering on pale or fair skin.

Origins Make a Difference Plus+ Rejuvenating Treatment
I wear this as a moisturiser during the day. It has a very lightweight gel consistency texture which does not feel greasy or oily when applying it on the skin. I find that it gives just the right amount of moisture to the skin.

IndeedLab Hydraluron
Great serum for great skin. Instantly loving it. Have been using it religiously since I bought it. I have even bought a backup as Priceline is having a 30% off sale at the moment. I did a mini review in my night time routine post.




So, what's your favourite product during this month? Please share in the comments down below. Would love to hear about yours.

My Beauty Emergency Kit

So for me, carrying my makeup bag everywhere I go is a necessity. You just never know when you will need them. So it's better safe than sorry. Personally, I think a hand cream is every girl bestfriend. My current favourite is Hand food from Soap and Glory, it smells so good and very hydrating. I also like to bring along a pressed powder just in case I want to touch up during the day, the one I'm currently using is the MAC select sheer pressed powder. Plus, I can use the mirror for the compact powder. In addition, I think a good concealer like the YSL touche eclat can be good multi tasking product where I can do touch up with it and also highlighting my face if needed. I also like to throw in a mini size perfume in my makeup bag, the one I'm loving is Prada Candy, it smells so sweet. And of course, I need to bring my Dior lip glow to moisturise my lips and a two-in-one product for both lips and cheeks from Benefit Posietint to add in some life to my complexion. Lastly, to prevent myself looking like a grease ball, I'll always always bring my Clean & Clear oil control film.



Do you always carry a makeup bag with you?And what's your essential beauty products on-the-go??

New in Bourjois

Bourjois bronzing primer - cream blush #3 Rose Tender - colorboost lip crayon in Peach on the Beach

Bourjois Bronzing Primer 
This has a similar concept with the ever so popular Chanel Soleil Tan De Chanel a.k.a the bronze universal. However, I have never thought of splurging in a bronzer. I may splurge on foundation or blush but just not bronzer. Bought it when I saw it was on sale at ASOS together with the cream blush. Anyway, this is suppose to be a primer but instead I use it for contouring my face. I find that this will also be a great multipurpose product, it can act as a corrector if your foundation is not in the right shade by mixing with your foundation. I like the fact that it is in a gel cream mousse consistency which I find very easy to blend. On the tube it looks very intense and orangey. But when you apply it on your face, it turn into a very natural matte brown look. It smells great as well, just like chocolate. I highly recommend this even if you have pale skin.

Bourjois Cream Blush
I have started to move to a cream blush girl since having and loving my Stila Convertible blush. Moreover, the cream-powder formula concept intrigued me to buy them. I choose #3 Rose tender as it leans toward the pink family. As you all might or might not know that I love my pink blush. It gives a natural glowy look to my face. I'm loving it so far. I apply it using my Real technique stippling brush or even my hands if Im in a hurry. Great on-the-go product. Longevity wise, they last around 5-6hrs. Not bad for a drugstore product.

Bourjois Color Boost Lip Crayon
So, after, Clinique, Tarte, Revlon and Covergirl. Bourjois decided to make their own little chubby stick. Decided to buy them after swatching them at Priceline. I picked up Peach on the beach, such a cute name.  Compare to the Revlon JBKBS, it's way more moisturising and hydrating on the lips. But, colour wise, it does not leave any kind of stain and does not stays on the lip for along time. To be honest, I still prefer my Revlon JBKBS. But the fact that it has an SPF15 is really a plus for me.



So, have you try any of these new items? Do you like them??
