Today I am here with a short “Hopefully” post all about Lip
products, a while back Essie Button and Amelia LianaCreated “ The Lip ProductAddict “ Tag, there are 8 Question to answer all about lip product, which for
me is perfect as I am a lip product addict, so lets get to it...
1.Favorite
balm/treatment?
I have two that are my holy grail of lip treatments, The
“NUXE” lip balm and Dr. Lipp “Original Nipple Balm For Lips” both are miracle
workers!!
2. Best eye-catching red?
NYX “Perfect Red” it’s truly perfect, matte and doesn’t
budge all day, it’s very true to color and very eye catching.
3. Best luxury & best drugstore?
Is NARS a luxury? Oh well I would say all my NARS
lipsticks, they are just perfect, the pigmentation is amazing and the product
its self is very moisturizing, doesn’t dry my lips and stays on for a long
time.
I do LOVE drugstore lipsticks and I've recently tried the
Revlon Colorburst Matte Balms and wow they are good, they do have this sort of
minty smell and plump the lips a bit.
4. Best MAC lipstick?
Oh this is a hard one, you know I love me some MAC lipsticks I mean I only own 40 of them!! But I am going to cheat and choose 2 of them.
First is my favorite since I got it which is “Heroine” it
is one of the most beautiful true violets I have ever seen, and its in my
favorite finish which is the Matte finish.
“Please me" is one of my favorite nude pink lipsticks, I
love this when I don’t know what color to choose I go for this one, when you go
through 3 tubes of a lipstick you know it’s a favorite of yours I guess!
5. The most disappointing?
I would have to say the YSL “Rouge Volupte” I didn’t like
the application of the product, its too creamy, and drying, moved everywhere, plus it felt a bit
sandy if that makes sense!
6. Liner - yes or no?
Mostly No, I prefer having a softer edge than a pristine
sharp edge.
7. Best gloss?
The Maybelline Elixirs, oh my god, perfect perfect
perfect!!! My favorite is “Vision In Violet”.
8. Something extra!
I decided I would name my top three bright pink lipsticks, as I am
a big fan of neon pink lipsticks.
NARS “SCHIAP” a true hot pink, very easy to apply.
MAC “Flat Out Fabulous” a violet sort of pink with a Matte
finish.
MAC “Candy Yum-Yum” a very neon pink with a Matte finish.
After much needed break and an adventure of a lifetime I am
back to the land of the bloggers, I decided to take a bit of a break from my
blog which was a very hard decision because I love you guys and I love talking
to you, but in order to fully appreciate the adventure I had to put all my
attention to it.
But now as I am back I decided to tell you all about it,
first I am starting with this post about the favorite things that I have been
using for the past months that I was abroad, as some of you that follow me on
instagram – If you don’t you totally should-
know that I was living it up in NYC for the past couple of months, I was
interning in my field of study and it was a BLAST!
I tried SO MANY different new products as we here in
Bahrain are very limited when it comes to beauty products, so I am here to
share the things I have LOVE the most!!!
Enjoy <3
As always we are starting with beauty products
Stila Stay all day
waterproof liquid eyeliner in intense black
After using thin brushes and gel liner I wanted a liner
that I can apply fast, so I looked at a lot of pen liner and went through a lot
till I found this one and oh my how I love it, it doesn’t dry I have mine now
for about 4 months, it doesn’t crease or budge I used to put this when I went
out for work at 8:30 and it stays till night time when I wipe it off.
Stila Smudge stick waterproof
eyeliner in Cobalt
You know me I get bored of black liner and I need to change
it from time to time, I never tried anything but liquid to line my upper lid
but I took a risk with this one after picking it up so many times and putting
it back down, and let me tell you this WOW, literary doesn’t smudge and stays
on all day long!
Cover Girl Lash blast
volume Mascara in Very Black
Hands down the best, I have been dying to try cover girl
for a long time especially this mascara, and as soon as I found myself at
target I picked it up and oh my my it is amazing!
Benefit GimmeBrow in
Medium/Deep
Perfect for filling those areas that cant be filled by
shadow or liner, this has fiber so it gives some volume to your brows.
Anastasia Brow powder
duo in Dark Brown
I was very hesitant on getting this, I didn’t like the
color, it was hard to use, but when I ran out of my benefit Browzing I picked
this up and it was like “ Where have you been all my life”, perfect color
combo, gives amazing texture and is very compact to carry.
Nars Radiant creamy
concealer in Ginger
You know I love me some Nars, and I am a lover of their
concealers, this time I picked up one that is a shade lighter than the one I
would normally get, and my my did it make some changes, I love it, its thick
and creamy that it covers a lot but doesn’t feel heavy on your face, no matter
what concealer I try this will forever be my holy grail of concealers!
Smash Box Photo finish
foundation primer
I have tries this in another shade before but I never tried
the normal one, I got it as a sample from Sephora and it lasted me months, and
I loved how it made my skin smooth and filled the gaps I had and my makeup
would last a lifetime when I have it on!
BareMinerals Original
Foundation in Medium tan
I have never tried these just for the fear of not knowing
how to use it, I walked into their store there and had a professional teach me
how to apply it, now I LOVE it, it feels light and smooth as if your not
wearing a powder at all!
Nars Bronzer/Blush Duo in Casino/Sin
Nars again, I picked this up just because I was traveling
for the weekend and wanted something compact, I picked these two duo because I
had all the other and let me just tell you this Laguna is over rated, if you
ask me Casino is where the you should be spending your money, not too orange
not too brown a perfect bronze, and the blush sin is just so gorgeous on the
skin it gives a dewy glow.
Nars Blush in
Seduction
Perfect burgundy for the winter <3
Nars Pure Radiant
Tinted Moisturizer in ST.MORTIZ
I went a shade lighter again and it is the perfect shade
for me, I've talked about this product so much sometime ago and I still stick
to what I say, drop the foundations and stick to moisturizers ladies, gives the
right amount of coverage yet benefits the skin at the same time.
Urban Decay – Naked 3
Didn’t think I would like naked3 until the day I picked it
up and I couldn’t use anything else but it, maybe I’ll do my review on it in
another post.
Dr. Jart O2 Cleansing
foam
My skin was having a rough time adjusting to the severe
cold weather, I went into Sephora and asked for a good cleanser for my
breakouts, the first 3 times I tried this it rejuvenated my skin, left it
feeling fresh and clean!
Dior Hydra life pro
youth silk cream
Same thing goes for this I needed a good hydrating
moisturizer and I was recommended this and wow did it hydrate my fry flaky
skin!
Nail polish
Julep – Bette
Julep – Candace
Butter London – LA
Moss
Formula X for Sephora
– Pedal to the Metal
Lipsticks
Mac – Heroine
My all time favorite, I have been looking for a color similar
to a pure violet, it was buy at first sight!
Mac – Diva
Perfect winter color!
NYX – Perfect Red
The name says it all!
Maybelline – Elixir in
Vision in Violet
One thing you outta know about me is I hate gloss or
anything that resembles a gloss! But with this I ventured and bought it just
for the color and when I applied this it felt so moisturizing and looked so
good, every time I wore this I get heaps of compliments.
Clarisonic MIA 2
Finally got one and my skin hasn’t felt the same ever!
YSL Perfume –
MANIFESTO
It smells so amazing, I’m bad at describing fragrances but
go to your nearest Sephora and smell this it is divine!
Urban Decay – All
nighter makeup setting spray
Something that I cannot live without, keeps my makeup
intact and my face looking refreshed and glowing.
