Hi guys!!
I wanted to do a post on my favorite and most used products for the month of
March. Some of these products were already in my kit and I completely forgot how amazing they were! I did some swatches on my arm to give you guys a better visual. Hopefully you guys try them out and like!
L'Oreal True Match Lumi Foundation - $9-$11
This foundation has been my go-to foundation this month! If you're looking for that dewey/luminous look you have to try this one out! It provides you with SPF 20, antioxidants (vitamin E & C), and hydration. Doesn't that sound wonderful? Now, here's the downside: if you have an oily T-Zone like me it can get a little greasy by the middle or the end of the day. My tip is to either apply it lightly or powder well and throughout the day. The coverage is light-to medium so if you're looking for heavy coverage this might not be the best foundation for you. All in all, I love the finish it gave me and the way it felt light on my face.
Giorgio Armani Silk UV Foundation - $60
Yes- $60 freaking dollars! When I bought this there was no price tag in sight, and I was so determined to get this product (due to popular demand) so I completely forgot to ask! If you are willing to spend this amount of money on a foundation then do so on THIS particular foundation! It is simply amazing! The shade that I got is now too light for me so instead I wear it as my highlight. It is medium coverage and is satin-matte so it works great for normal to oily skin. It's water-based and also has SPF 20. It feels really light on the skin which I am very impressed with.
MAC Mineralize SkinFinish in Soft & Gentle - $30
First of all, I was completely in love with NARS Albatross and thought it was irreplaceable. Then one of my makeup friends showed me this product in person and It completely took my breath away! This highlight is soooo beautiful and it photographs so well! I use it to highlight my cheek bones, cupids bow, chin and bridge of my nose. Spray your brush with MAC's Fix+ before dipping to give it a frosty and even more gorgeous look. This product easily replaced NARS Albatross!
Boots Extracts Olive Wonderbalm - $9
I use this balm on my lips, but it can also be used on your elbows and knees. It helps nourish and soften dry skin and it smells wonderful! To me it smells like grapes. The texture is sort of like vaseline, but not as greasy. I think it works better than regular chapstick and it stays on a little longer, too. I bought this at Target and for the price I think it's worth it if you have very dry and cracked lips.
MAC Lipstick in Please Me - $14
This lipstick is my favorite lipstick right now! It's a light pink matte color, and it looks gorgeous under a pink lip gloss. I found it wearable with dramatic eye looks, blue eye shadows, and on neutral looks. I've been wearing it way to many times since I rediscovered it in my kit!
Maybelline Eyestudio Gel Liner in Blackest Black - $7
This gel liner is the blackest gel liner i've ever tried! For me it beats MAC's Blacktrack gel liner all the way! Impressive!!
NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Addis Ababa & Antwerp - $6
I just discovered these lip creams by NYX and I can't put them down! They feel so smooth and the colors are so pretty! It's not as high pigmented, but they're still gorgeous.
L'Oreal Magic Lumi Concealer/Corrector - $13
This product is so easy to use since it comes in a twisty pen so it makes it easy to apply with its brush. I carry it with me everywhere! I also use this to highlight and conceal under eyes. It doesn't feel cakey and it gives you a slight dewy finish! Awesome concealer!
