TOP 3 Cosmetic and Skincare products for 2013!!

December is the busiest month of the year because it's my birthday (18th), Christmas (TODAY) and New Year's Eve (31st) as well! It's the season of celebrations, shopping and spending time with loved ones! Here are my three top picks for skin care and cosmetic products for 2013 - I really love these products and would recommend it for anyone. So lets get started:

My top 3! :D 

NUMBER 1: Maybelline Pure Mineral BB cream 

THE BEST BBCREAM! 

I've always used BB creams but I've always found the skin tone to be a little bit too off - too pale or too dark- this BB cream is PERFECT! I'm using the second colour of this range and it really blends perfectly with my skin tone! It's SPF 35 and PA +++ which means it's very good sun protections from UVA and UVB rays.

My favourite thing about this BB cream is the texture it's so smooth and glides on the face so effortless. It doesn't clog the pores and is so light to smooth out imperfections but not to create a cake face look. I really love this product and I use it EVERYDAY! It hasn't cause my skin a single problems so I love it tones! 

NUMBER 2: Daiso Eyeliner 

This eye liner is another product that I use every single day and cannot live without it! It's so CHEAP - $2.8 from any Daiso Store in Sydney! I really need to buy a few more! It's amazingly long lasting - IT DOESN'T SMUDGE! Seriously doesn't smudge at all and it can sometimes flake but it's so easy to remove! Absolutely love it! But the only thing is it's glittery which isn't all bad but some days I want just a black eye liner. The applicator can be a bit difficult to use at first but once you get used to it it's not a big deal!

The line can be very sharp and precise then this eye liner becomes such a life saver! Especially when I'm working long Christmas hours and out doors at the Pop up store! I never have to worry about re applying my eye liner! 

Number 3: Laneige Multi- Cleanser ♥

THIS IS MY GOLDEN PRODUCT! I lovelovelovelove it! Like the other two products I use it every day and seriously it's my favourite cleanser of ALL times! It's so easy to use and makes my skin feel amazing! So it's a makeup remover, foam cleanser and micro scrub as well! And as a lazy person it's such a time saver - removes my make up and gets read of dead cells? What else can I ask for! The beads in the scrub is soooo tiny that I can't feel the pressure again skin which is amazing because my skin is uber sensitive! :D 

The first picture is my current bottle and I'm almost finished - it'll be a sad day if I can't replace this amazing cleanser! I first saw it on Bubzbeauty and now I seriously cannot live without it! (also can't believe I'm an aspiring beauty blogger!) 

Here's the obligatory selfie at the end of every post! :P

Makeup Haul #1 - Natio brushes and more (◕‿◕✿)

To be perfectly honest - I wasn't meant to spend money! But when I saw that Priceline was having a 40% off cosmetic discount I really couldn't resist myself! But I stayed on the 'safe' side and bought more essential things than things I wanted to get (only because I would get everything)! So here's my makeup haul!! And I'll write about using the products also soon :) 

The entire collection :) 

That's everything that I bought on the day - it doesn't look like much and it costed me $43.15 all together (there goes my payyyyyyyyyyy)! 

That strange packaging!

The first product that I bought was the Maybelline Fit Me Bronzer, in the colour Light Bronze. I have really fair skin so I've never actually owned a bronzer before! But I really need one to do more contouring stuff and when I tried this bronzer on my skin it seemed to be dark enough to use as contouring but not so dark that I look like I'm painting my face! 

The packaging is a bit dodgy though as you can tell from the picture - when I opened it the cover was already broken - I DIDN'T do it! It was already like that *cough*. But in all seriousness the bronzer is good the packaging hmmm I'm not so sure. Maybe it was only my one? 

♡♡♡

This is the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain - in number 45 Romantic/Romantique. I have this lip balm in a pale pink colour from sometime last year and I absolutely LOVE IT! It has the moisture of a lip balm with the colour of a lipstick what's not to love and to be honest I don't like wearing lipsticks because it has a tendency to get on my teeth and just everywhere so this was my perfect solution! So now I just want to collect ALL of them! 

I WANT THEM ALL! One Ring to rule them all! (omg..I'm so lame)

TRI-FORCE :P

Then I also bought 2 eye liner pencils and 1 lip liner from a brand called Savvy which is an affordable and local brand of cosmetics stocked only at Priceline! They were around $1.5 each~ Super cheap! I've used the black eye liner but to be honest pencil liners never work for me because my eye lids are so oily (DAMMIT SKIN) So it smudges and gets every where definitely wouldn't recommend but I'm yet to try the other two so who knows? I remain hopeful!

SWATCHES :)

Here's the colour swatch on my hand - first being the Maybelline lip balm, then the pencil lip liner, black eye liner and black eye liner!

YAYYYYY Ｏ(≧∇≦)Ｏ

This was my favourite item! I absolutely loved loved these brushes - I haven't used them yet and I already love them (clearly too keen)! So it was the Natio Professional Brush Kit and it was SO SOFT!!!!! Here are some close up photos of the brushes and I'll post a tutorial of how to use them LATER :) 

Kabuki brush 

Dual Headed Eye Definer and Lip Brush 

These brushes are not made from natural animal hair because Natio is an organic brand and they really pride themselves on not abusing animals for beauty~ YAY! That's the end of my Haul post! FIRST ONE EVER! 

Am I a beauty blogger yet? AHAHAH LOLJKS
