February Favourites: Short and Sweet

Hey everyone. Its favourites time again and I will admit I don't have very many this month, however I do have favourites from different categories apart from makeup, yay!

Makeup

Jordana Twist and Shine Moisturizing Lip Balm Stain - 05 Honey Love
Last month, I raved over this particular product and it continued to be my go to lip product for the month of February. It's moisturising, leaves a beautiful colour on the lips. For swatches, you can check out my January Favourites post in the archives.

Maybelline Shine Free Loose Powder - Medium
This is my current go to powder for when I don't feel like wearing foundation. It is not a powder foundation, just a traditional loose powder, the coverage is very light, but it helps to keep shine at bay for a few hours, so if I'm running errands, I just dust this on over some face primer either my elf or Prestige primer (also have a blog post on those) and that's my face makeup done for almost all of February. It has a pink undertone, which is the only draw back for me since I have very yellow undertones, however on the skin, it isn't noticeable.

Makeup Tools

EcoTools Fan Brush
It's so fluffy!!!! (Cue Agnes from Despicable Me voice) I initially bought this brush for highlighter, but I fell in love with using it for applying my loose powder. It picks up just enough product and all I have to do is lightly dust it on my face. The bristles are super soft and help to distribute the powder evenly, and even better EcoTools is quite affordable. I am thinking about buying a separate fan brush for highlighter, something smaller, maybe the elf fan brush.

Cala Professional Blending Brush (311)
A synthetic bristle blending brush, that works well with both cream and powder eyeshadows. It's soft, fits into the eyesocket easily, if you have very small eyes, I would recommend this brush for blending out shadows but not necessarily for applying them into the crease.

Television

Fresh Off The Boat
Based on the book by Chef Eddie Haung, Fresh Off The Boat is the best new comedy in recent years. Constance Wu who plays the mother, Jessica is hilarious. She honestly steals the show. I highly recommend you guys check it out.

Gotham
Fish did what to herself?!?!
Alfred!!!!! *ugly crying*
Gotham has been getting better and better with each episode. The writers are doing an awesome job. Can't recommend Gotham enough.

Games

World Of Warcraft
I recently started playing on a new, US based server as a Night-Elf Druid and I've been having so much fun. Unfortunately, my prepaid game card ran out so now I can't play. However, I am planning on upgrading to Warlords of Dreanor at the end of March, so I can't wait to get back into WoW. 
 
This is really short, but I really haven't been doing much this month in terms of wearing makeup, or playing games. On Monday, I start a temporary job, which I super excited for, and I'm hoping my migraines don't ruin the experience.
Until next week loves, have a safe and fun weekend. Stay healthy, positive and happy.
Bye (^_^)/

Favourites! September and October Combined

Hey guys, today it's going to be all my favourite products from both September and October. The reason why it's a combined favourites is my camera's Memory cards died towards to beginning of October and I ended up losing all my pictures for September :(

September and October Favourites

L'Oreal Infallible Eyeshadow in Amber Rush

1. Milani Powder Eyeshadow in Brown Stone. A completely matte dark brown shadow that I use to fill in my eyebrows. It's velvety smooth and pigmented, but I think it may have been discontinued and I've hit pan. (-_-')

2. Rimmel London Lasting Finish by Kate Lipstick in 107. It is a beautiful matte berry red. Glides on like butter and it doesn't budge after application. Highly recommend. 

3. L'Oreal Infallible Lacquer Liner 24HR in Blackest Black. I've had this for approximately 6-7months and it remains super creamy which makes it a breeze to apply. It's also very waterproof and smudge proof, I've walked through rain with this thing on and it didn't move. Mine is yet to show any signs of drying out so if you've been looking for a gel liner, you should give this one a go!

4. Beauty Treats Professional 88 Palette 

This palette is great for a novice with eyeshadow and it's also great if you really enjoy neutral eyeshadows like I do. Now some of the eyeshadows are smooth, some are powdery but not chalky at all. They are fairly pigmented and easy to blend. If you're a teenager and new to makeup and you want an affordable neutral eyeshadow palette, you should give this a try. 

5. Avon Big Daring Volume Mascara

One coat and my lashes are plump and volumised...ummm..yes please, give me more! The brush is a similar shape to Maybelline The Falsies but it's larger and has more bristles on it compared to The Falsies. It's a dark, rich black but for me the only drawback is that it's an extremely wet formula. However, when it dries it's smudge proof so it gets a thumbs up. 

6. L'Oreal Infallible Eyeshadow Amber Rush 

This particular shade in the L'oreal Infallible eyeshadow line has quite the following from bloggers, to Youtubers, to celebrity makeup artist and it's not hard to see why. It's an extremely pigmented pinkish-tan colour and it's absolutely beautiful. it has the look and feel of a pressed pigment, super creamy, blends easily and if you apply it correctly i.e. with your fingers instead of a brush, there is no fallout. 

I used this pigment on and off since I bought it in the later half of 2013, however I used it recently for my graduation portrait and it just looked so beautiful I had to include it in this combined favourites post.

Games 

World Of Warcraft 

I took the plunge into WoW and I'm hooked. I'm still a complete noob but I'm learning the ropes and enjoying every minute of it. 

Diablo 3 

Yes I've only now started playing Blizzard games, does that mean I have to turn in my nerd card? I only have the starter edition of Diablo 3 but rest assured I will be splurging on both DIablo 3 and Reaper of Souls for my birthday. Gotta treat myself ;) 

my only problem with playing both of these games is my crappy internet connection...sighsss

Television

Doctor Who 

The new series with the 12th Doctor has come to an end and oh my goodness, the feels were too much! I was never a huge fan of clara but the last two episode tore my heart out of my chest. Clara and Danny forever :'( I will say that this series had it's up and downs in terms of the episodes themselves, some were brilliant while others were just meh. Now that this series is finished, it's time to await this year's Christmas special with Nick Frost as Santa!!! - It's not a spoiler, the pic has been going around since the finale.  

This now marks he end of another post, my next post will be about new Television shows I've been greatly enjoying.Also if there's anything specific that you would like to see more of on here, let me know, all of my social media links are posted to the right hand side of the blog. Until next time, stay happy, healthy and positive and I'll see you next time.

Byeeeee (^__^)/
