It's been quite a long time since my last post, and am feeling kinf of tired of making sad posts. I've been into beauty and fashion quite so much lately, so I think it would be a great idea to start more beauty and fashion related posts. Even though nobody reads this blog, other than my curious boyfriend. He's very appreciative and am glad to know that.
Well, I just want to say a quick "Hello!", probably to whoever, somehow casted away to this blog, and of course, "Hi sweetheart!" to my boyfriend, who might read this post in a jiffy.
So, let's just jump to the beauty products, or mixed up with some other random things, that has been my favourite for these past months.
The first one, is... Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizer Gel (
Gel hydratant tellement différent)
I just bought this today, and tried it right away and completely fell in love with it. I love the consistency, it's very light, but still gives you that nice moisturized feeling to your skin and it doesn't leave that greasy feeling after of a few hours of using. I think it's a perfect moisturizer to wear under your everyday make-up, and plus, it doesn't make your T area looking oily and shiny, at all. But, one thing about this product is that it's supposed to be for oily skin, but I found that the lotion one is a little bit too haevy and left your face greasy, espeacially on the T area, so I kind of like the gel way better.
And the second... M.A.C Paint Pot (
Peintures) in Bare Study. This is a love.
Been watching tons of review of this product and finally got it about a week ago now. I love this because of its consistency, it's very soft and creamy, makes it very easy to apply and to blend with complimentary colors, such as Naked Lunch or Shroom or All That Glitters. The shimmer is soft and very pretty for either day time or night time look. You can also build the color up by layering it. The color is just my favourite kind o eyeshadow color, which is like a champagne, with a bit of peachy pink undertone to it. And it doesn't crease or move, at all. J'adore ce bébé!
Next is M.A.C Plushglass in Big Baby (What an adorable name!
Très chic!)
It's a dream gloss, for me, at least. It's ridicilously moisturizing and somehow, exfoliating. It's sheer, which is my kind of type of make up. The consistency is a bit sticky, but in a good way. It doesn't crease or move around out of your lip, even after a few hours hours of using. But sadly, it comes off right away after you eat or drink. But over all, love the moisturized feeling it gives. Leaves your lip soft and kissable.
Oh la la...
For my everyday make up, I don't really wear liquid foundation. It's too heavy for this kind of climate and such tropical weather, like here in Indonesia, where I live. So instead of liquid foundation, I wear M.A.C Studio Fix Pressed Powder in C3...
It's like a foundation and powder in one package. It's not too sheer, but not too cakey as well.
C'est parfait pour moi...
One product I'm crazy about all year is facial spray, my personal favourite is from Avène.
I use this all the time. After I wash my face, after removing make up and after applying my night cream or whenever I need to hydrate my thirsty skin. This is one thing you can always find in my purse.
I don't wear much highlight on my makeup, but this is perfect for everyday lifting. It's M.A.C Mineralize Skinfinish in Soft & Gentle.
It has such a sheer and soft shimmer that look very beautiful when it catches the light, makes the skin look healthy, fresh and glowing.
I adore 60s make up, especially Audrey Hepburn's white matte eyeshadow, a bit dark on the crease and her signature cat eyeliner. It's simple, but still look put together. It's not too much colours, and most of all, the cat eyeliner. But it's really hard to do it with kohl liner. So this is my new obsession, Bobbi Brown Long-wear Gel Eyeliner in Black Ink.
It's really pigmented and creamy, which makes it very easy to work with. Perfect for creating an elegant vintage eyeliner flick.
I have a new best friend ever and her name is M.A.C Studio Finish Concealer with SPF 35. I can't imagine going out of the house without it. Mine is in C3.
I love it that it's full coverage and it covers all of my blemishes smoothly. But when I have a bad skin day, it's a little bit hard to work with, because my skin tends to get so dehydrated and kind of flaky. It doesn't cover the dry parts on my face, even after I've put on tons of moisturizer. But over all, it's a good investment.
If there is one thing I can't stress enough about, it is exfoliating lipbalm. And for me, the best exfoliating lipbalm is the from Vaseline, Petroleum Jelly.
C'est très très très bien!
Beside as a lipbalm, this also heals minor cuts and protect burned wounds. And sometimes, I use this for extra moisturizer on super dry areas on my face. It reliefs chapped and dry lips, and really healed my bleeding chapped lip.
Oh! My favourite of all time. My dream perfume ever, I put this in my birthday wishlist this year and finally got it. Thanks to my aunt.
It's the scent of grace and sophistication, the legendary Chanel No. 5. I absolutely love the smell, eventhough everybody says that it smells like their grandmother. Well, I don't think so, it smells elegant and kind of spicy (I mean like strong spices smell) and a little bit musky too. Put it on your pulse points, like neck, cleavage and on your wrist.
And, yes, last but not least! Natural lip colored lipstick. Two words. Estée Lauder. It's the Crystal lipstick in Crystal Baby. Gorgeous.
Such a beautiful color for everyday makeup and for a little pick me up when you feel dead in the morning. It's soft and creamy, but it does a little bit drying, just like other kinds of lipstick.
These are the products I've been into so much for this past month. Looking for some more reviews on other great products, and maybe I'll do a haul by the end of this next September.
Bon, c'est 5h du matin. C'est le temps pour moi de dormir. Faire de beau rêves, surtout mon copin. Je t'adore, mon ange...
