QUESTION OF THE WEEK: WHAT'S IN YOUR DAILY MAKEUP BAG?

Do you have any beauty products that you can't leave home without? I have a handful of products that I like to keep in my daily makeup bag, which I carry around with me in my handbag. I thought that I would share them with you in today's blog post, so let's get started! :-)

MONTHLY FAVORITES: FEBRUARY 2015

Another month has flown by, which means that it's time for me to share the products that I have been enjoying during the month of February. I have been sticking to a lot of the same products as I showed you in my previous favorites post, but there are also a couple of new products thrown into the mix as well which I will be sharing with you guys in today's post. Let's take a closer look at them! :-)

 ♥ Smashbox Cosmetics Photo Finish Hydrating Under Eye Primer, (HERE). 

I have been using the Photo Finish Hydrating Under Eye Primer by Smashbox Cosmetics quite a lot throughout the entire month of February. It's very hydrating on the under eye area and it makes both the foundation and concealer go on a lot smoother and more even. I haven't noticed a lot of creasing with my concealer since I started using this primer under my eyes, which is one of the reasons why I have been loving it so much! :-)

 ♥ Milani Cosmetics Baked Blush in Berry Amore, (HERE). 

Another product that I have been loving and that you might be very familiar with is the Baked Blush in Berry Amore by Milani Cosmetics. I have mentioned this particular blush quite a few times here on Makeup, Beauty & Fashion and I'm glad to have re-discovered my love for it. Berry Amore is a beautiful, berry toned blush with golden shimmer. It's easy to apply and it blends flawlessly into the skin. Since it has quite a lot of shimmer, it can be used as a blush and highlighter in one. I don't wear highlighter whenever I'm wearing this blush on my cheeks, because I don't feel the need to.

The Baked Blushes from Milani Cosmetics are some of my all time favorite blushes, highly recommend that you check them out if you haven't done it already! :-)

 ♥ Revlon Colorburst Lipstick in Mauve, (HERE). 

Another product that I re-discovered back in February is the Revlon Colourburst lipstick in Mauve. It's a pretty pinky mauve, which looks very flattering and pretty on the lips. It instantly brightens up the face, giving the lips a beautiful flush of color. Mauve is the perfect lipstick for everyday wear and I have been quite obsessed with it for a while now. It's truly a gorgeous shade, which I think is a total must have if you are into these type of shades! :-) 

♥ Bare Minerals Marvelous Moxie Lip Gloss in Smooth Talker, (HERE). 

The Bare Minerals Marvelous Moxie lip gloss in Smooth Talker has quickly become a favorite of mine. Smooth Talker is a pretty peachy pink with golden shimmer. It feels very comfortable on the lips and it stays put a good while before it needs to be re-applied. It doesn't feel too sticky on the lips, which is one of the reasons why I have been loving it so much. It leaves behind a slight tingle on the lips but nothing too crazy compared to the Bare Escentuals Buxom Full-On Lip Polishes, if you are familiar with those! :-) 

♥ NARS Cosmetics Sheer Glow Foundation in Mont Blanc, (HERE). 

I have been wanting to try out the NARS Sheer Glow foundation for such a long time now, so I decided to pick up a sample of it on eBay. I picked up the shade Mont Blanc, which is the second lightest shade in the Sheer Glow range. It has a pink undertone to it, which suit my complexion quite nicely. So far I really like it! I love how it looks on my skin, lovely coverage without being over the top. I'm thinking about picking up the full size bottle soon, that's how much I have been enjoying it. Do you know if it's possible to buy a pump for it? I don't like that it doesn't come with one! :-) 

So there you have it, my favorite beauty products for the month of February. What products have you been loving in February? Any products I should check out? :-)

- Love, Christine ♥

MONTHLY FAVORITES: OCTOBER 2014

November is creeping up on us, which means that it's time to share the products that I have been loving and reaching for a lot during the month of October. I have been enjoying quite a few products this month and I'm so excited to be able to share them with you guys in today's little beauty post! :-) 

 ♥ My Monthly Favorites: October 2014. 

 ♥ Stila Cosmetics One Step Correct Primer, HERE.

One Step Correct by Stila Cosmetics has once again made it into my monthly favorites. I have been reaching for it non stop during the month October, so I figured I would give it another shoutout. If you're not familiar with this lovely little product from Stila Cosmetics, it's a color-corrector, brightener and anti-aging skincare serum primer. It contains 3 color-correcting brighteners. A green tone which instantly neutralizes redness and conceals blemishes, a lavender tone which counteracts sallow undertones for a vibrant, energized look and a peach tone which brightens, illuminates and helps diminish the appearance of sun spots.

It looks very pretty and flawless on the skin. It gives you that glow from within look, which I'm loving at the moment. The primer feels very hydrating and moisturizing on the skin, so it's a great little product if you have dry skin! :-)

 ♥ Fullips Pucker Up Lip Plumper in Nude Beige, HERE. 

A lip product that I have been loving this month is the Fullips Pucker Up Lip Plumper in Nude Beige. It has a mineral based formula, which is enriched with Vitamin-E, contain menthol for a natural plumper and a light vanilla flavor. It has a very smooth and soft texture, which feels amazing on the lips. It doesn't feel sticky, which is one of the main reasons why I'm obsessed with it.

It's definitely one of the most comfortable lip products that I have worn on my lips. It's a lip plumper, which means that it's going to plump up your lips and make them look a little more pouty and delisious. It's does string the lips a little. It doesn't hurt, but you can definitely feel it on your lips! :-)

 ♥ bare Minerals Lash Domination Volumizing Mascara, HERE. 

The Lash Domination Volumizing Mascara by bare Minerals has been my favorite and go-to mascara for the entire month of October. It was part of the Lash Stash To Go set, which I ordered from Sephora a while ago. The formula isn't too wet nor too dry, just the way I like it. It gives my lashes nice length and much needed volume without making them stick together or look clumpy.

I already have a backup of this mascara in my beauty stash, which I will be opening up as soon as I'm done with this tube! :-)

 ♥ Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara in Black, HERE. 

The Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara has been another mascara favorite of mine this month. I love how easy it is to apply and that it doesn't make my lower eye lashes clump together and feel stiff and uncomfortable. It's got a tiny little brush, which make the entire application so easy to control and it comes right of with a waterproof makeup remover! :-)

 ♥ MAC Cosmetics Fix+, HERE. 

I like to use MAC Cosmetics's Fix+  to refresh my face and keep my skin hydrated throughout the day. I like to use it before and after I have applied my makeup. It's great because it doesn't ruin my makeup and it keeps it looking nice and fresh during the day. It's not going to make your makeup last longer though, so just keep that in mind. If you are looking for a really good makeup setting spray, the Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray is the bomb! :-)

♥ Favorite Movie Of The Month: Edge Of Tomorrow! Photo Source, HERE. 

 

Edge Of Tomorrow is a brand new Sci-Fi movie starring Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt. The movie is about a military officer who is brought into an alien war against an extraterrestrial enemy who can reset the day and know the future. He is enabled with the same power and teams up with a Special Forces warrior to try and end the war. 

 

The movie is very well made. It didn't have a single boring minute and it kept me on the edge of my seat all the way though to the end. If you love Sci-Fi movies, you should add this one to you're watch list! :-) 

What beauty products have you been loving for the month of October? Have you watched any cool movies or TV shows lately? Have you seen Edge Of Tomorrow yet? What did you think about it? :-) Love, Christine♥

Mini Haul Post: January Sales Goodies

A few days ago my mom and I went to check out the January sales and I managed to grab some wonderful items on sale. I picked up a DKNY perfume (my very first one, so excited) and a bareMinerals mascara that I have been meaning to buy and try out but never actually did. Im very happy that I found them on sale, pretty lucky huh? Haha :)

I also managed to find some cute clothes. I got two gorgeous dresses, a sweater and a big chunky cardigan, total of $44 which is totally awesome. I tried taking pictures of the clothes but it was so difficult to get a good shot. I might do some outfit posts soon and show you how the clothes look, is that something you are interested in seeing? :)






♥ DKNY Golden Delicious perfume & shimmering body lotion.


♥ bareMinerals Flawless Definition Mascara in Espresso.


♥ Handbag from CMYK Accessories.

Golden Delicious is my very first DKNY perfume. It smells so amazing, definitely a new favorite of mine. Im excited to try out the bareMinerals Flawless Definition Mascara. I managed to pick this up in Espresso by mistake, I always go for black mascaras so I might go back and return this. The CMYK handbag is so gorgeous, very Chanel inspired which I love. This handbag goes with everything which is the reason why I bought it. Its the perfect little handbag :)

Have you picked up anything from the sales yet? :)
Xoxo, Christine♥
