♡ Current Favorites #2 ♡

So this is my second 'current favorites' post :) 
Hopefully this is pretty interesting to read because I personally love these kinds of blogs :)  


Sooo, here are the products :) 


1. Liquid eyeliner


I realize that I mentioned that I looove gel liner in my last post, but recently I've been wearing liquid liner more. (I still love gel liner :)) Liquid liner is so much easier to use and much quicker to apply especially when you are in a rush in the morning. 
What I do is I line my upper lash line with the liquid liner and then set it with a black eyeshadow to prevent it from smudging throughout the day. 


2. MAC Rubenesque paint pot


This is a product that I recently purchased and I love it! A paint pot is basically a cream eyeshadow that you can use as an eyeshadow base or a primer. I have 1 other paint pot called Bare Study but I am loving Rubenesque at the moment. It is a beautiful golden peach color that I think is going to be beaauutiful for summer. (as you can see I am already in the summer spirit) With paint pots, you don't have to set it with an eyeshadow because it will last all day without it. It's easy and really pretty. Everything you can want in a product! 


3. Diorshow iconic mascara


This is a verrry high end product that I usually don't purchase but I got a sample size of it and I loove it! No wonder high end products are amazing! It has plastic bristles so it allows your eyelashes to be coated but separate them at the same time. Plastic bristles are probably my favorite just because it won't clump up your eyelashes as much. It gives volume and length which is basically everything you can ever want in a mascara! 


4. Blue eyeliner


So apparently for this spring, the makeup trend is to have a pop of color. Whether that would be with eyeshadow or eyeliners. I decided to opt for the eyeliner. I bought a cheap blue eyeliner and I love it! (as i've been saying it about every single product) I was a little skeptical because I thought it wouldn't be flattering on me. But it is! You can either apply it on the upper lash line or the lower lash line and they both give a really pretty effect! I really like it on both but I've been wearing it on the lower lash line a lot. This is probably my go-to spring/summer look :) Pretty, bright, and fun! :) 




I hope this gave you some inspiration on some spring/summer look :)

♡ Current favorites #1 ♡


I realize I have been gone for a long time but I've busy with school, exams and blah blah blah.. :/
But hopefully I can put up more posts now that everything have settled down.:)

I decided to do a series called "current favorites". Every now and then I will tell you guys some of the products I've been loving. I don't know if I should do it every month or not but we'll see how it goes :)

SOO, without further ado here are the products I've been loving 

1. Gel liner 

This is a general one but I lovee gel liner! <3 I love winged out liner so gel liner gives me the perfect look. This is probably my favorite beauty looks because it's so retro and classy. I feel like this will never go out of style and I absolutely LOVE it! <3 






2. MAC ricepaper eyeshadow

I love this eyeshadow because it's a neutral shadow which you can wear everyday. I wear this all over the eyelid because it gives a really pretty soft golden sheen that brightens up your eyes. My go-to looks has been just the ricepaper eyeshadow and liner and mascara. It's easy, natural and classy. 

3. MAC mineralize blush in Gentle

You might have seen the post that I did about this blush but I love this blush soo much! It's a pretty raspberry shade with golden shimmer. It's instantly gives a healthy glow to your face without being too overpowering. It's an easy everyday blush to use :) 

4. MAC Teddy eye kohl

This is a really pretty bronzy brown eyeliner. I use this on my lower lash line to give my eyes a little bit of definition without being too harsh like putting black on my waterline. It's a really pretty eyeliner that can be worn on every eye color :)

5. White eyeliner

I've been really loving putting white eyeliner on my waterline because it makes your eyes look bigger and awake. This trick has helped me a lot because I've been needing that extra kick to my makeup since I haven't had much sleep. (Studying!)

So that it's for my favorites :) I hope you try out some of the products that I mentioned and if you have favorites that you have been loving, let me know! :)
