Hi everyone!

The month of April was a little low key for me as far as beauty products go. In the first 2 weeks, I traveled home for a few days so carried only basic stuff and natural shades with me. After coming back to Mumbai, I fell ill with viral fever and it was a period of no makeup and just face wash-moisturizer routine. So this month’s favorites mostly have the products I took with me on my trip, some summer skin care products and a lovely perfume!

My April 2013 Beauty Favorites

1.  Maybelline BB Stick (Rs 250)

I love this product! It is very quick and easy to apply, blends seamlessly and gives amazing coverage. What I love best is that it suits my oily acne prone skin very well and diminishes the look of open pores (pores become a major problem for me in the summers). I cannot say enough good things about this stick. Its the perfect thing to carry while traveling. You can see my full review/FOTD HERE.

2. MAC Matchmaster Foundation (Rs 2100)

This is my favorite foundation and the only one I carry on trips. I’ve gone through half the bottle already and would probably be the only foundation I will repurchase! Its a foolproof one for me, gives a natural medium coverage, semi matte finish and performs decently (though not excellently) on my oily skin. Best of all, it photographs well and doesn’t look like I’ve plastered on foundation. I wear the shade 3.0, you can read my rave review HERE.

Hey everyone!

January 2013 is nearly over and today I have this month’s favorite beauty products and looks for you! I discovered quite a few skin care products this month along with a few lovely makeup products. Nothing new in Hair care but I’m hoping to change in the coming month!

January 2013 Beauty Favorites

From weekly favorites to monthly favorites, I’m now down to just Current favorites for this week. I had hoped to do a November Favorites post but I didn’t particularly love a lot of products in November and the ones I liked were the same ones I’d been using in October. But recently I’ve been trying some new and amazing makeup and skin care and here are my Top 10 ~

Current Top 10 Beauty Favorites!

1. Ben Nye Cream Blush Wheel (Rs 1050)

This is such an amazing blush palette! The blush has gorgeous shades especially for someone with my coloring. I absolutely LOVE the coral and warm pink shade in this, yet to try out the orange and red. I’m holding off the full review till I can do FOTDs with all the 6 shades(reviews with no FOTDs make  no sense to me)!

2. NYX Round lipstick Heredes ($4.00)

I got this one after reading its a dupe for MAC Mocha. Nudes don’t always work very well for me but this one is a stunning shade! Its a very understated coral – not too bright, not too dusty and has a sort of pale creamy look without actually being pale. I love this shade! I’ve worn it HERE.

3. Shiseido Perfect Refining Foundation (sample)

I have been on a lookout for a dewy foundation for the winters (for pictures more specifically) and the SA gave me this sample with another purchase. Its a beautiful foundation – gives the look of absolutely gorgeous skin with its slight dewiness and excellent coverage. I’m so picking up the full bottle on my next trip to the Shiseido counter! I’ve worn it HERE.

4. Colorbar Nail Lacquer Flirt (Rs 350)

Not the best formula to be honest (poor wear time) but I really like the shade. Nude nail paints always look classy and chic and this one is great with its peachy tone without being too brown.

Hey everyone!

Till some time back I used to do weekly favorites but from now on, I’ll be doing a monthly favorites compilation and a week is actually too short a time to try, test and use a bunch of products enough to be make a compilation.

Hey everyone!

Instead of a weekly favorite post, I’m doing a Monthly favorite post for August as there are many products that I absolute loved this month! Most of these are either new launches or newly purchased by me and I used them extensively! Some of these have been reviewed while some will be reviewed soon!

Do share your favorites of August 2012 in the comments section!
