Monthly Favorites: June 2014

It's the second day of July and you know that it's time for my monthly favorites!

Let's get started

1. Sephora CC Cream + Colour - I found a new way to use this product and so far I've been liking the technique that I've been using. I blend the CC Cream with my primer and what I've noticed is that it makes my foundation a little bit dewy. I like dewy foundations because it gives you that glow. You can use the CC cream as a stand alone product but I like using it as a base.

2. Beauty Blender Solid Cleaner - This is actually the soap that I use to deep clean my brushes and my beauty blender. I love the scent of the soap. It gives my brushes a fresh smell when I clean them.

3. MAC LE Enchanted One - The lipstick is a part of the Alluring Aquatic Edition and I am so happy that I have this shade. I consider it as my MLBB. 

4. Sleek I-divine Palette - I'm not sure what this palette is because I left the cardboard box back in Manila. In my previous post, I purchased this palette from Luxola together with my other brushes. I love this palette. It has a lot of neutral shades and it is very slim and compact. I travel a lot and I need light weight packaging to carry with me. I find the palette very ideal for traveling. 

5. Soap and Glory Hand Food - I super super love this hand cream. It's actually almost empty and I need to buy a new one. This is the only hand cream that I find moisturizing. Most hand creams that I tried were either oily or dry but this one works well. 

6. Embryolisse Lait Creme Concentre - This is the holy grail of moisturizers. No wonder PRO MUAs keep on raving about this because it works well. It eliminates puffiness and it makes your skin hydrated. Words are not enough to describe how good this product is...that's why I suggest you try it yourself.

7. Maybelline Falsies Mascara - I love this Mascara. This is actually a drugstore dupe to the Benefit They're Real Mascara. It volumizes the eye lash by giving fibers when you coat your lash. 

8. Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade in Chocolate - I know this is included in my May favorites but what can I do? I super love this product and it deserves another spot in my favorites list. The hype about the product is true. I know MAC released a similar pomade line for the brows but that I have to try.

MAC Alluring Aquatic Collection

Hello Ladies! Sorry for being MIA. I had to juggle my schedule for errands and after a few weeks, I am finally back here in Malaysia. 

Anyways, I was surprised last night because my husband bought me the Limited Edition MAC Alluring Aquatic Lipstick and Blush. In my knowledge, I know this was not released in Manila. I love the packaging of the items.

It has the pop-up water like design. It's so lovely. Prior to my husband buying this...I was actually hesitant because a lot of youtubers/vloggers were saying they were quite disappointed with the collection because the products were not  as good. They recommended to buy the lipstick which is the Enchanted One. I told my husband to look for it at MAC and he bought it for me. The blush was just a bonus.

I love the packaging. It's so gorgeous. 

This is the Echanted One. It's actually a nude type of lipstick. I tried it on and I consider this a MLBB (My Lips But Better) shade. 

My lips without lipstick

My lips with the MAC Enchanted One.

The formula of the lipstick is Matte. A bit dry for my liking but since the shade is nice, I would wear it. 

This is the blush in See Me, Hear Me. The packaging is gorgeous. It only has the water like embellishment on top but at the bottom, there's none. 

The color is a rosey-mauve color. I actually don't like the formula of this one. It took me 3 swipes on my finger before I can see the pigment. I'll let you know my thoughts in the coming days when I play with it but overall, I like the lipstick.
