March Edits

Hello everybody! I am here to share with you guys yet again a Beauty & Style entry. I would name this series of blog entries as 'Edits' which also refers to favorites or picks, where I will list and show you things that I have been loving so far. You may think of it as my own version of a monthly favorites video that just happened to be in words instead.

So I have used and tested some new beauty products I haven't tried yet (thanks to my sister's recommendation and... sponsorship? hahahaha) but I am going to show you not only make-up products and tools but a few skin care products as well.

♔

1. Kiehl's Daily Reviving Concentrate

This oil did a really great job at hydrating my i n s a n e l y dry face. My skin type is ~~dry~~ very dry, and I have been switching up a lot of hydration products that'll sincerely fulfill their duties! nowamsayn? and as of this moment, this is the second one that does the magic to my skin, the one that actually did would be the next product on this list hahaha

2. Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel

This wasn't supposed to be included in this list since I have been using the Clinique dramatically different moisturizer for a long time now, but the thing is, I recently found out I was actually using the Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+ ...which was different form the one on this list which says Gel instead on Lotion+ (Ha! I just recently developed my reading skills, sorry about that) I decided to include it here since it still worked for me. Gel is good but Lotion+ better, since I am very dry.

3. Marc Jacobs O!Mega Lash Volumizing Mascara

I found this mascara as the perfect everyday mascara since it makes my lashes fuller yet manage to make it look naturally long. It is one of those mascara that does dramatic change when it comes to length and volume but I find them natural looking and not like almost falsies-looking lashes. Unfortunately, based on the brand.... it's not very wise for our precious little pockets to use this on a day-to-day basis hahaha #StudentProblems

4. Laura Mercier Matte Radiance Baked Powder Highlight - 01

There is No Such Thing As Too Much Highlighter. And this highlighter again gives very natural looking highlight which is not glittery at all but indeed very glowy. I feel like every single thing on this list I describe as natural looking hahahaha

5. Marc Jacobs O!Mega Bronzer

This one I did liked surprisingly. Why? because it has shimmer in it. and that is very unlikely of me to use a shimmery bronzer. I've have always not been digging the shimmery bronzers, maybe I find them a little bit too overwhelming? or is it just that I love the Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Matte Bronzer too much? hmm.... maybe I do. but this Marc Jacobs bronzer surely is on my list.

6. Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler

I'll keep this simple and short. Solution to stick-straight asian eyelashes? This one! Before, I used to think that, whatever all lash curlers does the same job, but i found that to not be true. I have tried using some drugstore ones and I am in fact using one from a local brand but when I tried the Shu Uemura ones, they did curled and held my lashes up for a long time.

7. Sigma F40

This sigma large angled contour brush is the bomb when it comes to applying bronzer, contour and highlighter. This has been my most used brush next to my Real Techniques Expert Face Brush which I use in applying my foundation . Well, I don't do my make-up everyday but when I do, I make sure to pick up this brush no matter what.
