May Favourites! NEW PRODUCTS!

MAC Mineralize Skin finish in Soft and Gentle

My HG highlighter!! It looks sooo pretty when applied, catches all the light in the right places. Its like angel kisses on your face. 

This a very multipurpose product, and you get an insane amount so its definitely worth the $30 price tag. I've been using it for MONTHS and have yet to see a dent in the pan. It provides a subtle champagne sheen that's great for day OR night time and looks great on all skin tones. Very finely milled, and a little goes a long way. 
If you over apply it, it is very noticeable so use a light hand. 

During the summer time, I like to sport a fresh face with minimum eye make up so what I do is apply a bit of it on my cheek bones, cupid's bow, tip of my nose, under the brow bone and lids and I'm good to go!

If you wanna glow like J-Lo, YOU NEED THIS!! a must-have in my collection


Aussie 3 minute miracle deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep conditioner 

 A tropical vacation in a bottle and a drugstore gem in my opinion! It's an awesome and highly inexpensive treatment for damaged hair for those on a budget. Detangles hair easily and makes it so soft! 

I honestly only wanted to try it cause of the way it smelled ._. Smells like delicious coconuts but not so overwhelming that you're walking around smelling like a pina colada. The packaging is super sleek and kind of odd (but in a good way). You just squeeze it and product comes out, you don't have to bother opening, closing or twisting any caps.

I've done a lot of things to my hair ever since I was 13-14, its been bleached, burnt, dyed and over processed. At this point, my hair is just simply pissed off so I'm always in search for products that target hair renewal and conditioning so that I can restore it back to its healthier state and of all conditioners I've tried, this one seems to give my hair the moisture it so desperately needs. I prefer to keep it in my hair much longer than the recommended 3 minutes, but of course that's entirely up to you. 

I think there are better deep conditioners out there for dry, damaged hair (Macadamia deep repair masque $33, for example) but if you want something cheaper that still does a great job hydrating, this is worth a try!
Highly recommmend it!

Benefit They're Real mascara

This product makes my eyelashes look SO glamorous. Really defines each and every lash, adds crazy length and volume. I love the formula, it applies super black and doesn't flake or smudge.  I don't have to worry about my mascara smearing when I perform wudu, you honestly need an eye make up remover to get it off which is great for people who have a long day ahead of them and don't like to retouch.  

With Flash - After 9 hour wear (still kept my curl)

I could never justify spending $20 plus on a tube of mascara that I go through SOOO FAST, but now that I've tried this one I can understand why it is such a raved about product.  

Whenever I wear it, I get people asking me if I'm wearing falsies, no joke! I've never gotten this many compliments on my eyelashes, EVER!! I know some people consider it 'spidery', so I suppose its a hit or miss. I personally adore full, dramatic lashes that give you a baby doll look so its a winner in my beauty book.

(Excuse the shine, I had just removed all my face and eye makeup (aside from mascara and a bit of eyeliner)

I'm a huge fan of the brush. Its perfectly sized to coat and define each and every lash and the spikey ball at the tip of the brush is great for getting into those hard to reach places. It really brings out my bottom lashes as well. I think this might just be my #1 mascara now .___. 

Macadamia Healing Oil treatment 

 I've heard tons of good things about this product but I wanted to try it out before I purchased the full size as it is quite pricey. I spritz it on after showering, focusing mainly on the tips and then just go over the rest of my hair with whatever is left on my fingers. It smells great, and has only done good for my hair. Keeps it silky and manageable but doesn't weigh my hair down, like many hair oils do. I will repurchase it as soon as I run out. 

Ever since I incorporated this into my hair care routine as well as the next product I'm about to mention, I've noticed a significant decrease in hair fallout. Love love loveeee

Its a 10 miracle leave-in treatment 

I've been using this religiously since I bought it. My hair tangles REALLY easily and struggling to comb through it usually results in a lot of hair fall out but ever since I used this stuff, my comb glides through my hair like butter. Its amazing! My hair and I just might become friendsies again ._.

Mariah Carey 'M' Perfume

Its a sexy and sophisticated scent, smells sweet but with a hint of dark, smoky mysterious musky goodness that compliments my personality. When applied too much, its quite strong so its important to spritz lightly otherwise you may overwhelm yourself and the people around you. I've honestly owned this for years and I still have a good amount left. 

The lasting power is phenomenal. I can smell it on my clothes days after wearing it. It lasts especially long when my body temperature is high, like during the summer time. 

Even though I think it is suitable to be worn all year round, I think this would be fantastic during winter cause it makes you feel super warm and cozy.

It's definitely not the best fragrance in the market and I personally know a few people who can't stand the scent, but it seems to work wonders with my body chemistry and I mean, who doesn't love that? I get compliments on it EVERY SINGLE TIME I wear it. Packaging is super cute as well! 

 It's a beautiful scent for any time of the day and suits women of all ages. Try it out, its definitely worth a sniff! :) 

Benefit Porefessional

I did a review of it here. Great for those with noticeable pores like me, makes my foundation go on so much smoother.

Boots N7 Beautifully Matte foundation

I hardly even have to do any touch ups. Surprisingly not a lot of people talk about this which is interesting cause its a good drugstore foundation. It offers medium coverage with one layer but is easily buildable to a full coverage. Sits beautifully on the skin, matte but not flat and looks natural/skin-like throughout the day.

Maybelline Colour Tattoo in Seashore Frosts 

 I simply adore these colour tattoos! Really inexpensive, don't crease, super creamy, great pigmentation, wide variety of colours to choose from, just really great quality products. 

This shade is perfection in every way. It has the most gorgeous soft gold duochrome, I've never seen anything like it so I had to have it - kinda reminds me of a mermaid's tail. It can go from looking gold to like a blueish grey and green and bronze, agh its so hard to describe it. When I swatch it on my hand, the blue and gold stands out, but on my eyes its more of a gold and emerald sheen, but then in the sunlight I see hints of mauvey bronze and gold @_@

I just find it absolutely stunning and definitely my favourite of all the new shades. Worth the hype in my opinion. I'm thinking of trying out 'Lavish Lavendar' as well - the swatches of it are so prettyy!! 

This was the best I could do to give you an idea of what it really looks like

Nuance Wild Lime exfoliating facial gel 

 I've seen products from the Salma Hayek line at CVS for months but never thought of trying anything out until one day, I came across this product and the list of ingredients just really intrigued me so I decided to pick it up along with a few other skin care items and have been enjoying them a lot. 

This stuff works like a chemical exfoliate, there are no visible, gritty beads like regular exfoliating products. Its just a gel that you smear over your wet face and massage it in circular motions, let it sit for 5-6 minutes and then wash it off. The lime makes it tingle a little so you feel it working. After washing it off, my skin felt supple smooth and even looked brighter. I use this twice a week and been really enjoying the results. 

I've also been using the Walnut facial scrub and dark spot corrector from this line, and love them both as well <3

That's it for my may favourites! I'm hoping to upload my blog more often now that I'm on summer vacation so stay tuned for more beauty posts! :)
