March Favourites 2013

The past few months have been spent exploring new products, and also rediscovering my stash. Let's see 'em!

I decided to whip out my Naked 2 palette to use it regularly. I do prefer the first Naked palette, but I wanted to play with this one too. My favourite shades are Tease, YDK and Chopper.

Rimmel L.A. and Max Factor Clump Defy mascara:

I have to say, Clump Defy is just as good as my HG Rimmel LA, if not better. It builds volume and length in no time. I've been using these two constantly.

Catrice mono eyeshadow - 410 C'mon Chameleon!:

It's a dupe for MAC Club e/s, which means it is a beautiful chocolate brown with dark green duochrome. It is my go-to eyeshadow for rock concerts! It gives you the illusion of a complicated eye look with lots of shades, when it's only one colour.

Essence Stays No Matter What eye pencil - 02 Stunning Brown

It's still a great longlasting pencil, but it is impossible to sharpen. The pencil itself is solid plastic, which makes it VERY difficult to sharpen. Why would you do that, Essence? :( I still like the colour and the lasting power though.

Essence Stay Matt lip creams:

I have a review here, I love them!

Max Factor Max Effect lio gloss - 09 Pink Impetuous

Along with my Catrice C'mon Chameleon eyeshadow, this gloss is also one of my rock concert must-haves. The Pink Impetuous shade is a lovely pink-blue duochrome, it smells and tastes good, and it is non-sticky.

Max Factor Flawless Perfection Blush - 220 Classic Rose:

I only own Classic Rose for 3 weeks, but I am in love with it. It was part of my Max Factor prize. This baby is one of those Nars Orgasm kinda blushes: peachy pink with gold shimmer. It goes on smoothly and blends easily. It looks fan-freaking-tastic on the cheeks! If you have a chance, swatch it in the store.

Oriflame Tender Care Balm - Caramel:

It works great on my dry patches around my nose. I also use it as a lipbalm, and besides the yucky vaseline taste, it is a decent multifunctional balm.

Vichy Aqualia Antiox Ice-Effect Stick:

I've been using it since December, and it works nice. Do not overapply it though, it will make your skin burn.

Dove Winter Care cream (LE):

Another caring product for my dry patches. It smells delicious!I love Dove.

Fennel Body Yogurt - Strawberry Ice Cream:
The Fennel Body Yogurts smell incredible. I also own the Lavender Cupcake-whatever of the bunch, that one smell like Labello Sensitive, which is one of my favourite scents. Now back to the Strawberry flavoured cream: it has a whipped consistency, moisturizes well, non-greasy. One of my top 3 body care items.

My Sigma F80 has died on me within a year (!!!), so I needed a flat top buffer ASAP. Since Sigma failed me big time with its F80, I decided to try the Coastal Scents brushes. I have to tell you, I love them. The flat buffer works great with my foundations, and it's incredibly soft.

In Hungary, we don't have a brush selection at all, so I've never had a proper crease brush. When I ordered my 22 piece kit, I picked up the natural classic blender too, and it is now my favourite brush for blending out crease colours. I'm planning on buying a backup in the future.
