FEBRUARY PRODUCT CRUSH(ES)!


Hello, everybody!

I hope everything's doing well with you!

On the other hand, February has been a month of discoveries for me. I know that it's already the first week of March, but plz, bear with me. Haha!

I started splurging on products (that are worth it, I might say!) and I couldn't have been happier. I mean, #NoRAGRETS, even when my bank account and wallet are telling me to stop while it cries blood (eek!). But I also spent money on not so esspensive stuff--gotta balance that ya kno, haha!

I only have a handful of products, not so much of a fuss. So, to no further ado, let's get started!

THIS. PRODUCT! It's beginning to be truly one of my holy grail products!

Recently, I've been splurging on high-end makeup products and totally forgot to show my skin some love. I have no idea why I'm so quick to splurge on makeup products, but not on skincare products! I mean, duh, it's sort of not rocket science. Skincare products go in a snap of a finger unlike makeup products that stays with you for months--maybe, that's why? Hmm. Haha!

Anyway! If you have read my previous beauty-related posts, then you'd know that I have an oily skin type. Over the years, I've just learned to accept my exaggerated, oily skin. Sure, I've used blotting sheets, matte makeup products, and whatnot. But my oiliness get the better of them. It's just always there. If not now, then later. However, this product has been aiding me with my oily skin! One pump of this goodie stuff covers my entire face. It makes me matte without that weird white, tense finish on my face. It actually makes my skin feel hydrated without sucking the life out of me while leaving a gorgeous matte look on my skin. I'm just so in love with this product!

I recently got this as a gift last Christmas and since then, I've been using it like crazy. It's just SO BLACK  and SO VOLUMIZING (sorry for yelling). Tarte's LCL is such a game changer! If you feel like being extra without putting on eyelashes, then this is the product for you.

But there's a downside if you're new to makeup. It may be hard to use this product if you are used to doing the rolling motion on the wand. This product has thick and thin bristles on the wand and the handle is not made for a rolling motion as well. It can pack a lot of product on the wand and cause your lashes to clump. My suggestion is to wipe the excess away on the mouth of the product's tube to lessen the chance of clumping your lashes.

All that aside, this product is awesome for toned-down glam!

You ever had an impulse buy? Because mine is this gorjuss, gorjuss thing!

I've only seen this precious ONCE in person. 1) Because they don't carry it in my nearest Sephora and 2) it's ALWAYS sold out in my local Ulta store. It. HURTS. Haha! So when I saw this displayed in Ulta, I just had to buy it! It's one of my Youtube-made-me-buy-it products and to be honest, I am not regretting it!

This product has a lot of kickoffs, but besides that, it's very pigmented and easy to blend. I love how ABH mixed the palette with warm tones and berry tones (which are my obsession at the moment!). It has base colors/transitional colors, colors that give your crease more depth, pops of color, and of course your highlight colors. It's so amazing how many eye makeups you can create with this palette alone!

NYX GLAM LINER AQUA LUXE: Glam Nude
I've received this as a gift from my mom! Ahem, more like--I asked her if she can buy it for me, if not, then I'll buy it for myself kinda situation, haha.

Glitter liners and glitter looks have been one of the newest things I have seen in the makeup bandwagon recently. As a makeup enthusiast, I saw myself committing to jumping into it and this glam liner from NYX helped me out with that.

This glitter liner from NYX is a toned down glam liner--for me, at least.Haha! It has a brush applicator, much like normal liners, and is so easy to apply. What's more is that this liner in aqua luxe reflects so beautifully when it catches the light making your look extra gorjusss. What I love so much about this, though, is that it doesn't get smudged and it doesn't irritate my eye at all!
