March Favorites

It took me awhile to post this entry because of the unending errands. Anyways, I want to share with you guys my cosmetic favorites for the month of March

1. MAC Studio Fix Powder in C 3.5 - always have and always will be a staple in my makeup bag. I am so in love with this powder and I will forever be using this.

2. BH Cosmetics' That's Heart Palette - I gave a first impression of this palette and I was disappointed at first. Last month, I've been playing with this a lot and it has been a very handy palette for me. It has everything you need. Plus points because it is very compact. I travel a lot and I need things that can be easily placed in my bag. I always use the neutral colors. I also like the contour and the blush powder. 

3. Milani Baked Blsuh in Luminoso - I love this blush. As what I said before, this blush is a dupe for the Benefit Rockateur blush. It has that rose gold pigment in it. I love that you don't need to re-touch when you use this  product

4. Sephora Eye Makeup Remover - I actually use this eye makeup remover as a whole face makeup remover. I like the fact that it is half water and half oil. I don't use oil based makeup removers because it makes me feel so sticky specially with the weather now in the Philippines.

5. MAC Pro Longwear Concealer - I love love love this concealer. It is a bit pricey but it goes a long way. It works well with my MAC Studio Fix powder and I never have to buy another one in maybe a  year because a little goes a long way. This is definitely a staple in my bag.

6 Colour Collection BB Cream - Yes, I love this BB Cream. I've been using this a lot last month. I love the coverage and the feel of this BB Cream. I've been using this as a primer and not as a foundation. I love the scent and the consistency of the product. 

7 E.L.F. Eyebrow Kit in Medium - Ever since I learned how to groom my eyebrows, I've been playing with this brow kit and this is also one of a staple product for me. It is cheap and it gives a nice effect on my brows. 

8 DAISO Eyebrow Pencil - I've also been using this product together with my E.L.F. Eyebrow Kit. I love that it comes with a spoolie on the other end of the pencil. It's also cheap. It's only PHP 88.

9.EOS Strawberry Sorbet - Who wouldn't love EOS? I just love the scent of this lip balm and the moisturizing effect that it gives to my chappy lips. 

10. The Body Shop Lip and Cheek Tint - This was given to me as a gift and I've been using this as an everyday blush. 

First Impression: The Balm Bahama Mama

Yesterday, my husband and I were strolling around Bukit Bintang and we found out that there's a Sasa Mall at Sungei Wang. My husband said I should look inside. The first thing I asked was of course if they had Bahama Mama...Luckily, they had one last stock.

Of course, I purchased it right away. It wasn't discounted. I bought it for RM 65. I think converted to Peso it is around PHP 850. So it's actually a little bit more expensive than the one in Beauty Bar because I know they sell it for PHP 750.

Anyway, I have been looking for this Bronzer for a long time. I heard a lot of good reviews and I bought the last piece yesterday. 

In the description it says : This matte Bronzer creates the look of beautifully tanned skin without any orange undertones for a fresh-out-the beach glow. Bahama mama also doubles as the perfect contour powder and matte brown eyeshadow.

I actually use bronzers as countour for my face. I like the fact that this Bronzer is matte. It's not shimmery as to other bronzers. It looks natural and it is perfect for my skin tone. 

I like the fact that it has .25 oz amount of product which I think is a lot. Good price for the quantity. Longevity wise I have to play with this first before I can thoroughly give a full blown review.

The Balm: Frat Boy

I was shopping yesterday and I came across a Sasa Store here in KL. I saw the Balm stand. Originally, I was looking for the Bahama Mama Bronzer but it was out of stock. Luckily, I found the blusher that I was looking for.

I bought the Balm Frat Boy blusher. I heard a lot of great reviews for this product. 

That is the front cover. The Balm products are cute. Their packaging gives that vintage feel. 

The back cover.

The packaging is magnetic. Which I like. It also comes with a mirror inside.

The blusher in pink peach tone.

The swatch of the blush on my hand.

The mirror which is reminiscent of a football field.

I like the pigmentation of this product. I think this will be included in my April favorites. 

Haul from Sephora

I just got home from shopping and I have a haul from Sephora. I will post about the products in my coming entries. For now, this is a preview of what I bought.

Nando's Food Trip with Husband

We were finally able to eat at Nando's today. We've always wondered about the long lines at Nando's. Nothing fancy actually. Hahaha :D 

Food portions are good. I love the fact that it uses a lot of herbs and spices. Good price for the food.

Pita bread with Potato Wedges and Coleslaw 

I wasn't adventurous. I just chose the Lemon and Herb. 

Breast Filler with garlic bread and potatoes. I think 2 people can eat this dish. It has big servings. My husband chose the mild sauce.

Sephora CC Care + Color

 I'm really not a fan of BB creams but as what I said before, I use the product as a primer for my face. I think it makes my foundations last longer. A couple of weeks ago, sephora sent me an email about this CC cream. I actually thought this was the airbrush foundation because packaging looks similar. My husband bought this as a gift for our wedding. 

It says in the package that it is a CC Care + Color SPF 20 sunscreen more beautiful than ever. The scent of this product reminds me of the color collection BB cream. I don't know if all BB creams have the same scent but it actually smells the same. 

That is the back part of the box.

This is the CC cream. It contains 1 fl. oz. It also says in the packaging that it even skin tone, it smooths the skin and it gives radiant glow.

It comes with a built-in pump which is good. 

My hand with no product 

The consistency of the CC cream is rich. It does not drip on my hand which I think is good.

That's an unblended CC cream.

End result of blending the CC cream.

Overall, my first impression of this product is good. It has a good coverage. Consistency of the product is good. It has a nice scent. I think I like this product.

I will play with this more in the future and I will give an in-depth review of this in the coming entries.

I'm finally back here in Kuala Lumpur. I just want to share with you this Candylicious find. Hubby and I will play with this later and hopefully we can record out expressions hahahahhaha ^_^
