We’re halfway through 2016. WAIT, WHAT!?
as the months passed, i won’t deny i’ve neglected this little diary of mine. It has been way too long and i felt like i needed to write again. So to get me back to writing let’s start this off real quick with some new finds in the beauty department!
I have found some gems both in the luxury brands and highstreet brands with regards to makeup and i am beyond excited to share this with you.
These are so hyped up right now and so if you haven’t even heard about this, HAVE YOU BEEN LIVING UNDER A ROCK? These are the liquid lipstick-lip liner combo that Kylie Jenner has released over at her website a couple of months ago. Now the multi-million dollar question is: is it worth all the hype?
In my opinion, YES THEY ARE. They are bloody expensive for a lip product especially if you’re getting it here from the Philippines (ph shipping charges sucks). TBH I was one of those people who stalked Kylie’s social media accounts to find out when these restock so i can get my hands on these. The colors are all so beautiful! A lot of people say you can find lots of dupes for her colors- but honestly, it’s not the same. The formula of the Kylie Lip Kits are so good it doesn’t dry up your lips. I would admit it doesn’t last all day ( i expected it would) but it lasts a good amount of time in comparison to others.
#KAT VON D Shade and Light Contour Palette
In the world of contouring, this is one of the most coveted product out there. I was lucky enough to get this from one of mama’s cheeky little trip to Sephora.
The palette is so versatile that i use all these colours for so many different things. I don’t particularly use this just for contouring--most of the time these colours i also wear as eyeshadow. It’s so pigmented and the formula is buttery soft it’s definitely fit for that holy grail contour/bronzer/warm everything kinda palette! You can sort of tell i use this a lot by how it looks now haha
#3 SLEEK Solstice Palette
And finally... *drumroll* this hidden gem from the highstreet brands--- THE SLEEK SOLSTICE PALETTE!
YESSSS finally something available locally! *wink*
If you’re looking for a good highlighter, then go straight to any SLEEK counter near you and swatch this baby. This is the kind of highlighter that’s gonna give you that BAM ! highlight. It has 1 cream & 3 powder highlighters and a brush (but it’s crap so i threw that away). These are so so pigmented people are gonna see your glow from far far away.
For the price, it is unbelievably good. I used this once when i did a model’s makeup for a photoshoot and oh my god---HIGHLIGHT ON FLEEK.
