Spring/March-to-April 2013 Favourites! |
First up, face makeup. Since the weather has been nicer lately, I've been reaching for my dear friend — Chanel Vitalumière Aqua Ultra Light Skin Perfecting Makeup in B20.

Since Summer is coming up, I have been changing it up with my blushers. I was obsessed with Benefit Box O' Powder in Hervana for the entire winter, but recently, I have using her older sister, Bella Bamba, pretty much exclusively.

From L to R: Maybelline Color Tattoo in Bad to the Bronze and Essence Gel Eyeliner in Midnight in Paris |
I'm still not done with eye makeup, I've been loving the look of mascaras and I rarely leave the house without it. In particular, I've been loving L'Oreal Voluminous Million Lashes Mascara* and Revlon Lash Potion by Grow Luscious Volume and Length Mascara*, both in Blackest Black.

While I love them both, these two mascaras perform quite differently on me. The L'Oreal Million Lashes comes in a plastic brush with lots of long and short bristles that coat all the lashes, even the tiny ones that I didn't know I have, with colour and to add thickness to the entire look.

Revlon Lash Potion on the other hand comes in a traditional looking brush, but they call their wand the "Illusionist Wand". It does a great job providing both length and volume and the best part is that it holds my curl ALL DAY LONG.

Now for lips. I always love a subtle lip colour for any day and my lips are quite chapped, so these two lippies were great for me for the past few weeks.

I already wrote about why I like Maybelline Color Whispers by ColorSensational in Petal Rebel. But in short, I like that it's moisturizing and gives a subtle pop of colour on my lips. For intense moisturizing, I use Jack Black Intense Therapy Lip Balm in Natural Mint*. It's great because it does exactly what it says, intense moisturizing.
Here are some swatches of all the makeup products mentioned...
I also have one skincare favourite: Elizabeth Arden PREVAGE® Anti-aging Moisture Cream Broad Spectrum Sunscreen SPF 30.
