MONTHLY FAVOURITES - JANUARY 2014

Beauty favourites

Top Secrets All-in-One BB Cream - Yves Saint Laurent - Shade: Medium
This BB Cream from YSL is amazing! It's by far the best BB Cream I've ever tried. It's really hydrating, it glides on your skin very nicely and feels so moisturising. This BB Cream also works as a primer if you want to even out your skin tone, hydrate, conceal or correct your skin before you put your makeup on. I don't have to put concealer on when i use it, it gives such a great coverage.

Naked 2 Palette - Urban Decay

In this palette are 12 beautiful shades, 3 matte shades and 9 shimmery/glittery shades. This palette is the perfect travelling companion, it doesn't only offer so many possibilities with a mirror included, it comes with a full size crease and shadow brush, the packaging is made from a steel type material, which is really easy to clean with a wipe or a wet cloth. I don't know if my makeup collection is the only one that gets a bit dirty, so being able to just wipe it all off is a bonus.

They're Real! - Benefit
I honestly love this mascara, i have 0 problems with it, it doesn't clump and it evenly spreads out your lashes to look perfect. it doesn't flake or melt off after a while but the TIP of the brush is the best part, it has a rounded end that still has the little bristle things instead of just being a blunt tip. It makes it alot easier to spread out your eyelashes and get a non-clumpy, even look! 

 Eye Brows - MAC - Shade: Brunette
I was having such a hard time making my brows look natural. My brows looked so harsh no matter what I used to fill them in with. I could never find the right shade.  Now my brows look so well groomed and it doesn't matter if I mess up tweezing, you can't tell. 

Matte Lipstick - MAC - Shade: Diva
This lipstick is amazing. It is a very gorgeous plum/burgundy vampy look that is perfect for the fall and winter. I receive so many compliments when I wear it. 

Nail Lacquer - OPI - Shade: Up Front & Personal
Love this colour! I've been wearing it all month!

BB CREAM REVIEW

Top Secrets All-In-One BB Cream - Yves Saint Laurent

This BB Cream also works as a primer if you want to even out your skin tone, hydrate, conceal or correct your skin before you put your makeup on. I don't have to put concealer on when i use it, it gives such a great coverage. I use it only on weekends or when I'm going something special, just because it's so expensive.

10/10

Brushes I use with this BB Cream

Expert Face Brush - Real Techniques

F60 Foundation Brush - Sigma

Price: 50$ , 7.979 KR ISL

Nude Magique BB Cream - Loréal

I've been using this BB cream for about 6 months now and I'm so in love with it! I use it every single day for a natural look. It feels so light and comfortable on my skin, just like I have no makeup on, I like how it blends with my skin tone and has a great matt finish. I find it that i don't need to put setting powder on top, as it leaves my skin looking matt and flawless all day.

Brushes I use with this BB Cream

Buffing Brush - Real Techniques

F80 Flat Kabuki - Sigma

Price: 10.99 $, 3.299 KR ISL

Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream- Garnier

I really wanted to like this product. My skin looked really nice the first few times I used it. Few days later, cystic acne showed up on my forehead, cheeks, even my nose! I was really disappointed. I know it was the Garnier BB Cream that caused the problems, because when I stopped using it, I went back to my Loréal BB Cream and my skin cleared up completely.
