Monthly Favorites | October 2016

This month has been an emotional roller coaster ride for me that it felt like this month just flew by but not in a good way. I kinda wish I did more of my time but hey, I'm glad I realized that and its time to actually do something productive.

With all the stress and events happening, I clung to just limited items this month that I know would not let me down especially when I have little to no time to actually pay much attention to how I look or what I need, basically what I would call my "go-to kit".

• Unicorn Powerbank

This cute little thing has been my best friend for the past couple of months. I purchased this back in June and I had no problems with using it. It's easy to carry around which is useful especially at times when I'm out of the house.

• Dear Klairs Illuminating Supple Blemish Cream

This has been sent to me awhile ago, going to be a year now in just a few months. I've been loving using this for when I just need to head somewhere that won't exactly need that "made up" look. It looks like it's my skin but better. I'm just obsessed with using it. I also made a review about this product so if you want to check that out, click here.

• Sleek Matte Me Ultra Smooth Matte Lip Cream in Birthday Suit

If you're a beauty junkie like me, you would know that this liquid lipstick is definitely a must-have. Everybody says that the quality is amazing and it's perfect for an everyday lipstick which I could definitely say is true.

• Daiso 5 in 1 Beauty Care Massager

If you've read about my 6 Daiso favorites, then you would know that this is one of them! I use this mainly for when I need to massage my face and for cleansing my face. It just makes it a whole lot easier and makes my skin feel amazing.

• NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in London

This is one of my most natural looking liquid lipstick that I use almost on a daily basis. Though it doesn't last very long especially when I eat, it's easy to reapply and gives that smooth finish to your lips. If you want to read about my review for the other colors that I got, click here.

• Ever Bilena Matte Lipstick in Mauvey

My 3rd favorite lipstick that I've been wearing for months now is this Ever Bilena lipstick. I feel that it just suits every look I want to have. It's pink but not too pink. Really simple that suits whether your going for a day at work or a fun night out.

• Innocence by: Kathleen Tessaro 

This has become one of my favorite books of all time. Maybe because I could relate to some of the events that has happened in the story. Basically, it's about a girl named Evie who has this dream of becoming an actress so, she leaves her hometown to go to London to study drama. Evie experienced a new way of life, learning a lot of things she hasn't experienced before. Then, life just happened and everything for Evie changed. She became a mother who is teaching night time drama classes. Her old friend died but haunts her with the past she tried to forget. With that, everything was about to change again.

That's pretty much my favorites for this month. Let me know what else would you guys recommend me to try or if you tried out any of the products that I mentioned and what were your experiences with it? Leave a comment below and I'll respond when I can.

Klairs Illuminating Supple Blemish Cream Review

I received this BB cream from Wishtrend just a few weeks ago and have been trying it out ever since. I did use a friend of mine to use this product too just to be sure of what I experienced with this product although I did not take pictures of her but the results were the same. So, What do I think about it? Let's see below:

Price:

This was from Wishtrend and on their website, it says that it's USD 24.99

Briefing:

This product only has one shade which claims to be suitable for all skin colors since it adapts to whatever your color is so don't be intimidated by the fact that I may have darker or lighter skin tone than you after seeing me use this product. It has a dewy finish that has very little coverage but is easily buildable. 

Below you would see me applying the bb cream to my face at around 9:30 AM (with primer beforehand) and then just put some powder, filled in my eyebrows and used some carmex for my lips. At 12:10 PM you could see that it blended into my skin really nicely and natural that it looks as if I have a subtle glow to my skin. Although at 3:56 PM the glowy / oily look went overboard so I had to try blotting and it resulted to me looking like I have almost nothing on my face. At 9:48 PM (sorry for the bad lighting), Was the last time I decided to check on it and remove my makeup. You could see as I wipe off my makeup, there was still some product left which just means it didn't fade and it just made my skin looking natural but better. 

Is it worth the money?

$24.99 for me is honestly quite alot but after using this product, I find that it would suit the liking for those who aspire to have that beautiful Korean glowing skin. This BB cream however does not provide coverage for blemishes but it does hides the red spots on the face making the tone even and having people focus on the glow and how natural it looks, it definitely feels like second skin because it is very light that you forget you have makeup on. 

It is helpful for those who have dry skin because of how hydrating the product is when applied to the face. No detection of patches throughout the day (and weeks) that I've been using this though I do have a combination to oily skin. It also claims to improve your wrinkles on your face which I would still have yet to find out if it's true. And it doesn't worsen the already present acne or blemishes on the face which I could say is definitely true.
