Monthly Favorites | September 2015

I can't believe how fast the time is passing by this year, I'm also proud of myself that I only missed 1 day of blog posting for this whole month and I kinda think that it's pretty fun and teaches me to plan ahead of time, if you'd like to hear about my experience, do read my 100th blog post all about it Anyway, onto my favorites for this month, I've done alot of hauls so narrowing them down to the things that I truly adore was pretty tough, so here they are:

To start off, I would tell you about this amazing brush and it is the elf Professional Blending Eye Brush P149.75 ($3.19 USD). I bought this during my drugstore haul  along with some other brushes and this one would have to be my favorite of all of them. I love the fact that this was pretty cheap but does it's job pretty well. I don't have to push this brush too much into my skin so just using a light hand to blend out any harsh lines on my eye makeup is great.

The lol (Lots Of Love) Cosmetics Bronzing Powder P139 ($2.96 USD). I still have a love-hate relationship with this product but I kinda leaned in to actually using it more often for days when I just wanna look simple but still put an effort to my look. For a more indepth review, click HERE.

Bobbie Cosmetics Poof! Concealer P100 ($2.14 USD). The brand bobbie is what I sometimes use for my manicure brand. Just recently did I know and saw that they had a cosmetics line. I checked that out and found that their products are inexpensive and has really cute packaging. I picked up this cream concealer and it is the 2nd lightest shade (They only have 3 shades) which is the CN-02. I'm pretty fair skinned so I was surprised that the lightest shade was too light for me and this one is a tone lighter but the 3rd one was too dark. I settled for this one for using as a highlight or for under the eyes. Read my detailed review all about this product HERE.

For lipstick, I have the Rimmel London Lasting Finish Matte by: Kate Moss Lipstick in 107. I just really love this color and although it is abit different of what I would usually wear, it helps me feel confident but not too bold for my taste, for a more indepth review click HERE.

Another unusual favorite of mine is a new app that I'm quite addicted to and it is the Dear Future Self, app. I featured this app on my 3 Cool Apps That Every Blogger Should Have and this app basically lets you send yourself a text whenever you need to receive it eg: a minute, 10 minutes, an hour or more after you hit send. With this, it'll remind you of what you need to do while you're on-the go. Plus, it is available to use offline without any load or credits used.

Duolingo, an app that has been keeping me entertained / busy this month and what I recommend you to try if you are wanting to learn a few languages or just freshen up what you already know. It is pretty helpful and if you got the spare time then why not right? It is fun to learn something new everyday.

For books, I recently read "Slammed" by: Colleen Hoover. I could definitely relate to the story since I'm somehow going through the same thing. With this, I thought that, I'm not the only one experiencing some things and some people just have it worse and I should be lucky for what I do have at the moment. Worth the read if you are looking for one at the moment. I'm currently reading the sequel or next book for this series.

Another book that I recently read and loved is #Girlboss by: Sophie Amorouso (aka the founder of Nasty Gal). Her story before and while starting out with her company was what I would call refreshing. She was pretty unique and courageous, a sudden change of what I hear most of the time from famous women. I highly recommend this if you are looking for inspiration or just wanna know the history of Nasty gal.

Alright so those have been my favorites for this month and I hope that this was somehow helpful and comment down below if you have tried any of these things and how it worked out for you or if you have any suggestions for me to try out and I'll be sure to reply as soon as I can.

Ps: I recently had a simple milestone, read all about it HERE

Bobbie Cosmetics Poof! Concealer Review

A few weeks ago, me and my brother went to Watson's just to grab some necessities and I stumbled upon the Bobbie Cosmetics Stall. I actually wasn't that aware that they released a cosmetics line since I was so focused on their nail polishes. Though, they have really cute packaging and inexpensive products.that I ask myself how come I never noticed it before? Anyway, I picked up this cream concealer in the shade CN-02 (The 2nd lightest shade). And here is what I think about it:

Price: 
P100 ($2.14 USD)

What do I think of this product?

Without Concealer

With Concealer

While I was trying out their testers, I do notice that they only have 3 shades and that may become a down side since this shade is abit lighter than my skin tone and the next shade is too dark for my skin. I now use this for my undereye circles which does a great job at hiding and highlighting although, it doesn't work well on hiding blemishes. It's scent is pretty faint  that it goes unnoticed and it's easily blendable even if you are just using your fingers to pat in onto your skin.

After you set it with powder, expect it to stay where it is for a few hours but, This product does cake up or crease on my skin after 6 hours or so. Not that much of an issue if you won't need it for a whole day.

Is it worth the money?

Yes, I think it is since for it's price, it does help with the dark undereye circles. Like I said, you can use only your fingers and it has a small mirror on the other side of the product just incase you need to use it on-the go. It is quite small so you can easily carry this around on your purse and it doesn't eat up space. I was actually satisfied with this that I would wanna try out other products on their line like the eyeshadow palette and lipsticks. So if you want a cheap concealer for your undereye cirlces, try this one but I don't really recommend this for hiding blemishes.

So that is my review for this product and I hope that this has helped you incase you are looking to try this out. If you have any more questions, suggestions or request or even if you already tried this product, how has it worked for you? Leave a comment down below and I'll try to reply as soon as I see them.
