Goodbye
“Favorites Posts”, hello “Hit List”!
November was
probably the busiest month of my blogging life. Because of that, I always end
up not doing what I want to do with my makeup every time I go out. Yes, I was
busy (I am, still) but I can’t let that ruin my beauty regimen. That’s why my
November hit list consists mostly of skin care products. The list is not that long, so shall we start?
Klair’s Gentle Black Sugar Facial Polish
& Deep Cleansing Oil
I’ve had
this for almost a year now and since I had so many cleansers before, I forgot
that this duo even exists. Nevertheless, it doesn’t change the fact that they
do work rather nicely together. While the Gentle Black Deep Cleansing Oil
smells divine, the Black Sugar Facial Polish have the most awful scent I have
ever smelled. But don’t let that fool you because that facial polish is the
main star of this duo. It is a great exfoliator and cleanses even the smallest
pores of my skin. It leaves my skin very smooth and soft afterwards. The
cleansing oil, on the other hand, gives enough moisture to prevent my skin from
drying. My skin tends to get dryer when I exfoliate, and that’s why I love
mixing the cleansing oil with facial polish to keep it moisturize and less dry.
The Lip Scrub by Sara Happ
I don’t know
why, but my lips are always chaps these days. I think it has something to do
with the weather. This is yet another product that I forgot that I have. You
know I love matte lipsticks, and it looks awful if my lips are chapped whenever
I use one, yes? This lip scrub is basically my savior. It works great and taste
so good too. LOL (Read: The Lip Scrub by Sara Happ Review)
Celeteque Eyebrow Nourishing Serum
You might
not know it by I have a slight eyebrow problem. It seems like I was only given
with a half-full brows. Sometimes I thought that it has its advantages since I
can always draw whatever styles I want, but when I remove my makeup, blah! My
brows look like someone sabotaged it by shaving half of its part. Anyway, this
product helps me fight that battle. I’ve been using it for almost three weeks
now and I’m impressed that there is indeed an improvement. I still don’t have
my dream full brows, though, but it’ll do. For now.
Color Full Semi-matte Lipstick
Ever since
the ‘ber month’ started, it seems like my usage of bold lipstick lessens. I
just noticed it a few weeks ago that I’ve worn more pinks and reds these days.
I actually got this as a gift from my mom’s friend on my birthday, and ever
since then, I’ve been using it non-stop. It has a color that fights between red
and pink. The semi-matte finish complements the color and has a decent staying
power too. If you’re my friend on Facebook, it is the lipstick that I wore in
my profile picture.
Etude House Easy & Quick Pen Liner
I had a love
and hate relationship with this eyeliner. People aren’t the only ones that deserve
second chances, even makeups do. So when I gave this pen liner another shot
after almost giving up on it before, we finally clicked. Even without a pointed
tip, this pen liner still manages to give me a winged liner. Plus, the
jet-black color is really good too.
That
concludes my November Hit List. Some of them were almost forgotten, and I also
almost missed how great of a product they are. Lesson of the day? Do clean up
your stash every once in a while because some of the best products are waiting
for you to open them up again.
P.S.
Yes, I made
a small change regarding one (and the only running) of my blogs’ segments,
Favorites. There will be more Hit List coming from this blog starting next
year; I just wish that I can keep this up. So, wish me luck guys and let me
know if there’s certain topic you’d like to include in this new segment. Your
suggestions would be highly appreciated.
