welcome to my April favorites of 2013
so i hav a couple of beauty
skincare, nail products to show you guysand these have been my absolute favorites
since I skipped march I kind of combined the two together
but
I've just really been using these products
quite a lot over the past two months and i thought that I would share this with you
So my first beauty favourite of the month is a lip product and this has
just been
an incredible product. I can't rave about this enough
and I've just been
obsessed and addicted to it.
So this is the Dior lip glow, and it's basically a color reviver balm
The reason I got this was because I've always had natural dark lips
i don't really like it but it's the way it is and i've been using lip scrubs
um... and all that stuff
But it's just really naturally dark
Whenever I use a sheerer lip colour especially when
now it's getting warmer I don't want to pack on a lot of lip products
the lip color doesn't really show
so when I was at the Dior counter the other day I picked this up
and what this does it that
it revives your natural lip color
and it also makes the lip product that you're going to apply on top
it will make that lip color pop and more vibrant and pigmented
I just thought that this was a really good alternative as opposed to
applying concealer and foundation on my lips because that's what I used to do and that really
made my lips
flaky and dry. It also acts as a lip balm but also revives lip color
I just thought that this was a pretty worthy product
It's worth the price
If you have naturally dark lips you might want to try
this product out
So the next product I have is also from Dior. I've just been addicted to
Dior
I just found that their products are so amazing even though they're on the
pricier side. This color is in flash
it's basically one of their Dior Addict lip glosses. I'm so
in love with their Dior Addict line
Their lipsticks even though are a little sheer, they're just so hydrating
and not as drying as some higher end lip products would be and this color is just
super gorgeous. It's just this really natural
darker shade of pink which matches my natural lip color
but just gives it a bit of life.
Really been loving this.
The next product I have to say is also from Dior
But this one I've had
for quite a long time
It's actually one of my all time favorite products - this is my Christian Dior
Creme de Rose lip balm
i'm sure a lot of you have heard about and a lot of youtubers have talked about
this but
I am just
head over heels in love with this product. I use it every single day
whenever I feel like my lips are getting dry
I use this as a lip mask in the evening, I put this in my purse.
I just cannot live without this product - it smells incredible.
It just hydrates like
no other lip balm.
it's also worth the investment
moving onto skincare I only have
two skincare favorites this month but
One of them is the Eminence Stone Crop Hydrating Mist
and this is basically a hydrating and soothing toner
for normal to dry skin types
and it looks like this. It's in a murky green color which
isn't very appealing. The smell also isn't very appealing you have to kind of get used to it
It smells of
grass, and nature and wheat
But I've gotten used to it and this is 100% organic I believe
and this has just really helped my skin
When I was in Hong Kong
the pollution and
the dusty
atmosphere in Hong Kong, my skin has not
been very good and it was acting up
I was getting
itches and this has just really helped relieve my skin and tone it
and soothe it
and i don't think this is actually very pricey but i got this as a gift from my best friend
I don't really know how much it costs
yeah i would definitely repurchase this I'm actually looking into other Eminence products
just because I fell in love with this product and I really want to tr
their other products.
and then my next skincare favorite is also on the higher end
price tag I guess. It's from Sisley and it's the
Radiant Glow Express Mask
I actually used a couple of samples of this
over the past month and
again I fell in love and I still have one left but I
loved it so much that I went out and got the full size
So even though it is a little bit on the pricey side,
it works like magic.
I basically use this one to two times a week mostly once because I don't
want it to aggravate my skin
It's a clay mask
it's super quick. I'm quite busy with my college and work so when I go to bed
I literally just go to sleep I don't have time for masks
But this takes 3 - 5 minutes. So after I brush my teeth, I cleanse and tone my
face
I would apply this and then play like one round of Candy Crush
and five minutes would be up and I could just wash this off
and the next morning i could just see huge
difference
or czars
My pores are reduced and my skin just glows and looks more radiant and healthy
and this really cleanses
the blackheads away really nicely
At the moment I really like it and that's why
I got the full size
Sisley always gives out samples
so I would recommend getting their samples before buying the full size just so you can save a
lot of money
and you can always test the product
first before buying it
So moving on I have two nail products one of them is OPI Melon of Troy
I don't generally talk about OPI Nail Polishes just because I'm not a
big fan of them anymore, I used to like them
(before I heard of Essie)
i collected a couple but
and I stopped collecting I think two years ago
but now
I rediscovered this color I was looking for a coral peach color but I didn't want just a
plain glossy one
This has, like
not a shimmer but a
really soft metallic
finish which
I'm in love with and despite the brush which I don't like about OPI
I just thought that I would
try this color out and I've really been liking it. I've been wearing it quite a lot this month
that's one of my favorites.
And my second nail favorite is from Essie and this is Mint Candy Apple
So it's in this
really pale
pastel blue
and when I saw it online I thought it was a mint green
but when it came in the mail it turned out to be blue and I was kind of disappointed
I thought it looked like tween nails
I started to use it and I really liked it. It really want with my pastel colored outfits and even
just plain outfits like a
white tee and a pair of jeans and I'm good to go
This is just an awesome spring
summer color
I am in love!
Next I have a perfume and I wasn't sure if I should include this in my favorites
because
I've only started wearing it two weeks ago
So i haven't used it that much. I got it as a gift and I
didn't really care for it at first but now obsessed because
it has this really girly
fruity scent that i can't explain. You have to smell it if you pass by a department store but
I think a lot of people have talked about this in the past
I've only just recently
rediscovered it
I can't say I fell in love with it because I-don't-know-what-I'm-talking-about!
This was just hidden in my
perfume collection
and I
wore it once and I just kept wearing it after then
Packaging is really cute, I'm going to be wearing this so much this Summer
I'm gonna show you the bottle
by
August
I swear to you it will probably be up to here
like the product. Did I tell you where it's from? It's the
Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau so Fresh
Final and last product, this was supposed to be in the beauty
section of the video. This is the Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette
which everyone's talked about everyone basically has one if you don't shame on you
because you need one
Just kidding :)
The reason why I picked this over the first palette was because
a) because of the packaging
I feel like this packaging lasts
longer, it's more durable, it's great for traveling and you don't have to worry about it
getting dirty
whereas the other one has a velvety/suede
like obviously a cheaper version of suede
material which is harder to clean. B) because of the color range
I wear these colors a lot more than the Naked (1) palette
I actually prefer shimmery
eyeshadows which this one has a lot more of
my favorite color is
'Bootycall' which is this color right here
and 'Suspect' which is this color right here
but actually I've just been wearing a ton of these colors and I don't know why I haven't hit pan yet
which is really strange because my Naked palette
I've only used a couple
of months
and I hit pan on one of the colors but this one I've used for quite a long time. This is
basically my
everyday makeup palette if I'm indecisive about what eyeshadow to wear I just go with this palette
and
I take my pick
When I was traveling I just brought this with me
i didn't take any other loose eyeshadows, I just thought that this hd
every color I really needed
for an everyday look
it did the job. And I like how it comes with the panorama mirror
which is always great!
So that is all for my April Favorites. I hope you guys enjoyed the video
and if you have any more requests then please leave them in the comments section below
I'm really
tempted to do the Draw My Life video but I don't have a whiteboard
I don't really want to spend on one because I'm moving in a couple of months and I'm not going to be in the
country
so that's going to be a waste
and my stomach is grumbling... I'm really hungry.
I will see you guys in my next one. Bye!
