Maybelline baby lips in Cherry Me
It feels great on my lips and gives them a fresh wash of reddish pink...I'm actually quite obsessed with this lip balm right now, I always keep it with me in my bag. The formula is not greasy or overly glossy. Perfect enough to give off a very subtle natural looking shine. Great product to throw in your purse when your in a rush. Its moisturizing, affordable and comes in cute colourful tubes and several different flavours.

Benefit Porefessional
I got a sample of this to try out and this stuff is awesome! I can tell the difference in my skin the second I put this on! It minimizes the appearance of my pores , improves the texture of my skin and gives your make up a smooth surface to work with. I use it over moisturizer but under my all over face primer. It does have a scent, but I personally don't get bothered by it. It glides beautifully on the skin and has a powdery finish.
It has mattifying properties as well but for me, the staying power of that wasn't too great cause I still had to blot my face after few hours of application. Not a big issue cause I have my No. 7 shine free primer for that.
It is expensive but its made to specifically target pores and not be used as an all-over face primer so use it only where your pores are visible. A little bit goes a long way so the product should last you a long time. I've been using the sample size for the past 5 months and I still have a lot left O_O I do intend to purchase the full size product soon!
Estee Lauder Double Wear stay-in-place make up in the shade Ivory Beige
I will be doing a review on this soon :) but just a brief overview of the product: I dont necessarily prefer a full coverage foundation, but if you have the choice to purchase a full coverage foundation v/s a sheer one for the same price, id make the best out of my money and get the full coverage one.
I've heard fab reviews about this product so i really wanted to try it out and I'm so glad I did! This is an amazing product, super duper long lasting (through sweat, unfavourable weather conditions such as rain/snow/wind/whatever) and offers great coverage.
However, if your a fan of natural looking makeup, then maybe you won't like this product so much because it will look like you have make up on. Now I don't mean that in a bad way, it does give you a very polished look but I figured id include that as a side note. Oh, and unfortunately I wouldn't recommend this product for people who have dry skin, because it will just accentuate the flakiness of your skin and make it very visible. Though if you trust your heavy duty moisturizer wholeheartedly, it wont hurt to give it a try :)
NYC Smooth skin bronzer in Sunny
I picked this up after hearing some of the beauty people on youtube rave about this stuff. This is actually one of those products that really does live up to all the hype. The packaging is decent, I'm not very picky about that. I like the huge mirror it comes with. Its a fairly pigmented matte bronzer that costs less than $3 bucks. Its a light brown colour that doesn't oxidize and turn orange throughout the day. Looks very natural and subtle when applied and the staying power is fantastic. Its oil free so it doesn't break me out either.
Its a steal for the price. Ever since I bought this, I haven't even touched my Two faced aqua bronzer D:
Tarte Amazonian Clay blush in Tipsy
I love blushes so I'm always trying out different brands to see how I like them. I love it love it love it and cant wait to pick up the rest of the shades. Its the perfect matte coral shade for spring and summer although theres no reason why you cant use this blush year round. They blend so seamlessly and easily onto the skin and the pigmentation is fantastic! The color does look a little extreme in the pan, but trust me, it can be applied sheerly or built up if you want a more dramatic look. The colour is just gorgeous and really brightens up the face <3 cant rave enough about this stuff!
This does wear longer than any of my other blushes, as promised. And when applied with a light hand, it gives a 'she's born with it' kinda flush. SO PRETTY! (I applied it a little generously so the camera would pick up the colour)

Revlon lip butters in Lollipop
Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love all of them but I find myself reaching out more for this one in particular cause its wearable during the day time and goes with everything. I do think the colour is a bit too bright for every day use so I usually apply a clear lip balm first and then a light layer of lollipop over it. I find that doing so results in a more sheer application that looks more natural instead of giving you a WOAH too-bright-for-school look.
