April 2013 Favourites

                 

These are beauty items that I have been loving in April. I will insert individual photos with reasons why I love them. If you would like me to review them in details with swatches, please let me know in the comment below, and I'll do it for you, Insyaallah. :)

Topshop Cream Blush in Head Over Heel

                  

I wanted to try something from Topshop. What I had in mind was either a lipstick or a blush. I decided on a cream blush in Head Over Heel (RM33) since I have been spending so much on lip products lately. Looking at the shade of the blush, it looks like a coral/peachy colour. But when I blended it on my cheeks, it is actually a pretty baby pink colour. Oh this is a cream blush btw. I never own any cream blush so this is a good start for me. It looks natural on my cheeks and really does give me the instant healthy glow.

Rachel K CC Cream

                      

You know I'm a BB Cream kinda gal. I don't use liquid foundation (I might start soon) because I don't like the idea of full coverage because it sounds so heavy. But I know I will try them someday. Anyway, I've been hearing so much about the Rachel K CC Cream (RM45.90) in Youtube so I decided to pick one up in Neutral. I would describe a CC Cream as a better version of BB Cream. This CC Cream evens out my skin tone, I don't feel greasy at all and the selling point for me is that when it oxides, it really blends well with my skin tone. 

Essence Lash & Brow Gel

                     

Eyebrow is important to me. I think it is the one thing that will make or break your makeup. Honestly! I want my eyebrow to stay put as long as I'm outside the house. I would look so weird when my eyebrow is not done. -_- The Essence Lash & Brow gel (RM10.90) works great as it does hold your eyebrow colours (after you fill them in). I'm always into the bold and dark kinda eyebrow, so yeah this is awesome.

Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette

Yeah yeah everybody's talking about it. I was so reluctant to get the Naked Basics (RM98) because I can get most of the shades in any other palettes that I have. But, I caved in and got in. Love it because it is so small, so compact I can just throw it inside my bag. The palette is not only good for natural looks, you can do smoky eyes with it also. And sometime I use Faint to fill in my eyebrow. :D

Hai-O Marine Essence Beauty Bar

                       

Hai-O marine Essence Beauty Bar (RM35) has helped me so much last month. My back was giving problem with those small blemishes. I don't know why! FYI I do take my shower twice a day. huhu -_- Nway this is an all purpose soap so you can basically use it for any part of your body. I did a review on this beauty bar so please click HERE to read it.  I've been using the beauty bar till today and it really helps in clearing those acne on my back. There's a little bit left but yeah it's going away! Yeaaaayyy the best part is, it also helps in smoothen out my dry area/patches on my knees and elbow. Do try it out if you are looking for something to treat your acne. My face is breaking out lately (I don't know why laaaa. I'm so sad :( ) I'm using the beauty bar as my facial cleanser daily to get rid of those bad acne. I will update by next month if there's any improvement, but as for now I can feel that my skin is smooth.
