September & October Favorites

Sorry for being mia for past 2 months for it has been crazy as hell in those months with everything just piling up and me being mostly unable to do any of it.  Plus the writers block made me go nuts! I kept  opening the blogger, stare it for an hour or, not even writing a word and then closing everything to go to sleep. Yup, that's what's been happening and finally its over (hopefully)  because I am writing like a hysteric here right now :-D

So the last post, that was in September was a favorites post and so is this one.  I have compiled a list of stuff I loved using these past 2 months and to be honest it isn't much long.  I was expecting it to be quite  a few products because there was no Shoppers block :-P. 

Enough with the ranting and here comes the list!  

1. Labello Soft Rose Lip Balm:

This little pinky was picked up with the grocery at the checkout counter without any thoughts because my lips were chipped like anything and I just needed something for them.  But this one is a keeper for sure!  Its kind of thick but its good because it stays on for a long long while and keeps my ever chipped lips hydrated.

2. Jordana 12 Hr Made to Last Eyeshadow Pencil - Prolong Purple:

Last month I had this one in my mail to review and, why lie, I didn't use it much. But when I finally used it to line my lower lash line, which is my favorite thing to do,  this one lasted for 18 hours straight.  I  was like woaaahhhh you still there??  I love it  to bits.  I am determined to get the emerald green soon in this one! 

3.ELF Mist & Set Makeup Setting Spray :

Not that I have a set rules to do makeup or even setting it afterwards isn't a must pointer for me, but still I have this setting spray well placed on my dresser.  Reason: this baby is a keeper. Whenever I have used it, it has never failed me. Just one or two spritz and all your makeup is locked and has a perfectly soft finish!  Added to the list of favorites this months after using it for than a year!

4.  SHE Is from Istanbul Body Spray:

I have always been a fan of SHE  body sprays and an avid user. After trying a few from other brands, I came back  to these.  Recently they have introduced these new Travellers Editions in the previous SHE IS  line and I  must say what exotic fragrances these are! Not that I am much of a fragrance peculiar person but these just got me loving them!  If you like to keep trying, I would suggest you try this one this time.

5. Double Sided Pearl Studs:

There has been quite a rage of Dior pearl studs but I am usually late when it comes to following trends,  I am lazy no other reason.  I got these beautiful double pearl studs as a gift from a beautiful fellow blogger cum friend Huda and girl you got me hooked!  I have been wearing them everywhere everyday!! These are definitely my favorites and will stay on the list for a while to be honest.  Get a pair and trust me praises will be on your way! 

Here is a very short list of what I loved lately in past 2 months.  I hope I stay regular from this month on wards and review all the stuff I have lined up for reviews. If you have any questions regarding the above products or need an urgent review, feel free to ask me!

August Favourites

Yaaay its September!!  August gone, and so is the summer slowly going.  I am so happy its gonna be fall soon. This hot humid part of the year is not my thing to be honest,I am more of a winter person.  I even function better when its cold and quite.
With the passing summer, a very few things make to my favorites list every month because most of the stuff doesn't hold up good on the sweaty face of mine. But still a few things stayed at the top of this list this month too. And here you go

1.Color pop Lippistix - Frida

I got this lovely sleek thing about 2 months back and it has been my most used Lipstick since then. Its a true peach nude shade having brown undertonez that I love wearing to work. Oh and did I mention it smells like vanilla??  Yummm

2.Sigma Beauty Ethereal Radiance Brush Set.:

Late in thw August, I got a chance to try the Ethereal Radiance Brush set by sigma Beauty and it has left me spell bound.  Even though user a few times, it was an instant hit for me.  The super soft bristles and dense fibers just pack the pigments on lids just perfect!  The cream brush is amazing for its job.  Absolute love for this one!!

3. E.L.F Mineral infused primer - Clear :

Before having a primer, I never knew what was all the rage about the priming. But since it was too much to resist, I tried the ELF mineral infused primer, and haven't looked back since then.  I am on my 2nd bottle now and I don't think I am going to look any further.  Leaving the skin super soft,  pores minimized and fine lines filled up, this one is a keeper!

4. Rimmel Stay Matte Powder - 001 Transparent :

This is a cult favorite and most recommended budget friendly compact powder. So with this summer heat, I needed something to hold up atleast for an hour or 2 decently to look abit presentable and not a sweat ball.  This one held up real good for about 3 hours in the scorching heat after  which it gave up. Well not to blame it the heat here is unforgiving. So it was better then many who gave up as soon as i stepped out of the room.

5.MM Makeup Silk foundation - Fair:

Have you read the review already?? Its "THE THING"  you need this summer.  Super high coverage and non-budging foundation ever. With this one you don't need a concealer if you have not so prominent dark circles and blemishes because it really does the job.  I have a few issues regarding accentuating dry patches and fast drying formula but still its the best buy in the market for long wearing foundation in this summer! 

This is all for the August Favourites. Hope you guys like a few of my picks this month. Next month is going to be awesome because it would be more close to winter Yayyyy! 

HAVE YOU TRIED ANYTHING OF THE ABOVE PRODUCTS I AM LOVING IN THE PAST MONTH?  DO LET ME KNOW IN THE COMMENTS BELOW.

July favourites

So I missed the March and June favorites post, thanks to my health and yeah a partial thanks to the annoying Internet. I swear, I hate wired interenet now to the core of my heart seriously!  Well it's supposed to be a FAVORITES post, not a HATE post, so getting back to that. I have been using quite an assortment of products for past 3 months now, with a few hits and some misses. Most of hits have been the ones which withstood this scorching heat of Lahore! Since the list is quite long, I took only a few to be listed here and kept the rest to be posted later on.

1. L'oreal Nude Magic Liquid to Powder foundation:

I got this foundation totally on a whim because it was summer already and I wanted a really light foundation to wear on daily basis . Its been 3 months now and I am happy with my purchase . The formula is runny that sets to a really demi-matte powder finish which looks totally natural. Stays for about good 3-4 hours after which it gives in to sweat but still I am totally hooked to it ! 

(Review to be published shortly)

2.Elf studio Mineral eye shadow primer :

This eye shadow primer has been compared with many high end brands repeatedly over the internet and to be honest it performs really well ! i have been using it for a couple of months and I am totally satisfied . It keeps my eye makeup in place for a good 5-6 hours without budging or creasing or even fading ,not to mention how bright it makes my shadows look ;) 

3. Butterfly cosmetics perfect makeup base :

This makeup base was a favorite of a fellow blogger Bia from The Beauty Finds. After bugging her around for a few days ,I decided to pick it up and I wasn't disappointed. I use it alone to mattify my face during day or even under a foundation for a smoother look . Not the best out there ,but for the price its decent enough to make it to my favorites list !

4. Bh cosmetics 10 piece Eco brush set : 

During my wedding haul , I finally realized that its time I invest in some decent makeup brushes and I picked up this brush set during a sale . Ever since then ,I haven't thought of getting more brushes because its such a complete set that caters to all my eye and face makeup needs ! 

Read Review HERE 

5. Wet n' Wild Megalast Lipstick - Rose Bud:

When everyone starts raving about a product ,I can't control myself from buying it , not for the sake of product ,but for the sake of knowing what is all the hype about ! So, I got this as a part of the same theory and I am pretty much liking it . The finish lies somewhere between semi matte and satin and lasting time is as long as 6-7 hours straight ! The color is a beautiful rose that I love . Its been my go to lipstick ever since I got it . 

Here goes my July Favorites in a nutshell . A few product reviews are under process and will be published in the coming weeks. If you have a special request or a query feel free to talk to me . I am leaving my social media links below :

E.L.F Blush in Gotta Glow - Review, Swatch & Look

I have been acting pretty weird lately ,only God knows why . Every time I decide to do something there is this surge of laziness that makes me want to give up even the idea of even moving and just go to sleep. Well, have been fighting it and guess what today tonight I finally managed to write this blog post I have been dying to write and share with you guys ! This blog post is dedicated to my most loved and most used blush which is actually a highlighter by Eyes.Lips.Face .It goes by the name Gotta Glow. Read out to know more about this amazing product 

e.l.f Blush in Gotta Glow : 

The soft sheer texture blends into the skin for a silky finish. Designed to be worn alone or layered for more depth. Highlight your complexion with a subtle healthy glow!

My Experience:

Ever since I started using e.l.f products ,I have been amazed by the quality of the products in such an amazing price tag .Tby e.l.f that make me fall in love over and over every time I use them. The blush come in a decent black covering .nothing fancy at all but doesn't look cheap or anything ,rather it looks classy ! There is little mirror inside which is pretty helpful in last minute touch ups . Now the main product,even though the packaging says its a blush but actually its a white highlighter with very fine golden glitter . It is said to be a dupe of NARS Albastross,but since I don't own the mentioned highlighter ,I cant give you guys a comparison. But  the product it self is so pretty. It has a fine powdery texture that blends like a dream! just one swipe and the brush picks up the right amount to give you a subtle glow ! Being powdery means fall out ,but there is no major fall out just a little bit , that you can let go because of the amazing product . It lasts a good 5-6 hours on me ( I have oily /combination skin) ,even after those hours I could see a little bit of the glittery specks here and there .

e.l.f Blush- Gotta Glow ( Swatch)

e.l.f Blush- Gotta Glow (On me)

Thumbs Up For :

• Classy ,sturdy packaging
• Mirror Included
• Smooth Texture
• Super Blendable
• Less fall out
• Long staying power
• Affordable Price tag

Thumbs down for:

• Availability in Pakistan is an issue
• Glitter may be a concern for those with open pores

Price & Availability :

e.l.f Blush retails at a price of 3$ and can be ordered through e.l.f Official Website. In Pakistan , you need to order it through some facebook pages. I got mine from Makeup & Accessories for PKR 550. You should definitely check out this page as they have amazing in stocks and have COD all over Pakistan !

To stay in touch with all the latest updates by e.l.f cosmetics check their facebook page HERE.

Rating:

I give it a 4.5/5 just because of the availability issue and a the glitter issue . I cannot insist more on getting e.l.f blushes !! Do give them a try and I guarantee you won't be disappointed !

Stay Blessed
