Another month has come and gone! Through my makeup basket series, I’ve tried a ton of new products, so it was hard to narrow down products for the month. But I have, so here is what I’ve been loving this month.
Bite High Pigment Lip Pencils – I used the Holiday 2014 Set this month, and I am obsessed. I photographed the red in the kit, but they were really all amazing. Beautiful texture, highly pigmented, precise application and stained the lips to a long lasting, colorful finish. I really enjoyed all of the pencils in the kit, and I’m ready to add some more to my collection.
Maybelline Fit Me Matte and Poreless Foundation – A full review of this is coming soon, but this is a nice drugstore foundation with a beautiful finish. This gives the skin a nice, finished look, even if it’s not the most longlasting of foundations.
Sigma E65 Brush – My biggest discovery of the year was using dark, pigmented eyeshadows as upper and lower eyeliners. So pretty! This was the brush that I used, and it was perfect for applying shadow that way. I’ve loved this brush!
Real Chemistry Luminous 3-Minute Peel – I got this in a Birchbox and this. peel. is. magic. Seriously. I’ve used it once a week since I’ve gotten it, and I recently purchased a full size. I get a lot of masks and peels in Birchboxes and as samples, but this one truly stands out. It has lightened hyperpigmentation, smoothed my skin and really given my skin a luminous finish. loooove.
Benefit Lollitint – This is a unique color for blush, and the liquid finish is just really pretty. This may be my favorite of all the Benefit tints and a perfect product for spring.
Maybelline Color Tattoos (Caramel Cool and Inked in Pink) + Too Faced Matte Eyes Palette – These are such amazing products that don’t get enough love. The combination of the shimmery color tattoo with the matte shadows is just incredible. I love the pretty eye look and how the eye looks is pretty and just a bit dramatic.
L’Oreal Infallible Foundation – There is also a review of this coming up, but this is my new favorite drugstore foundation. It’s just beautiful in the finish and really keeps oil at bay as well.
Bite Lip Primer + Too Faced Lipliner in Perfect Nude/Sephora Lipliner in Nano – Oh my goodness, this lip combo! I love this lip primer just in general, but with just a lip liner on top, the combination creates the perfect finish. The color of both these lipliners are gorgeous neutrals. I also love the defined look of my lips with this combination. I see myself pulling this out a lot in the near future.
