my beauties.






FROM top 2 bottom:
1. rosebud salve : I think this stuff is self-explanatory. It has a magical formula. classic. A must have! Go purchase asap.
2. mint green tea : Although I love green tea from my sushi joint- mint green tea steals my heart. The crispness that comes from the mint, coupled with all the yummy antioxidants from the leaves = pure heaven. I drink at least 2 GIANT mugs a day.
3. NARS multiple (Palm Beach, although the picture here is orgasm): This stick is the perfect bronzer. But alas, it is NOT only a bronzer but an eyeshadow + lip color. It's an all-in-one and could not be more perfect.
4. Kiehls tinted: This stuff is IT. I don't like wearing foundation at all, but this stuff not only has sunscreen in it (SPF is a must) but it moisturises and covers. I promise you if you are in the market for a new sheer base, this is the stuff. I use the Light color.
5. Gucci by Gucci: This is what a woman would smell like if she were a man (?). I love its fem/masc. notes. I feel like this scent bottles up all that I am.
6.ysl touche eclat (shade # 2) : No words to describe the greatness. I think it speaks for itself.
7. Bodyshop coconut body butter : This has been my mainstay for as long as I can remember. I slather it on after a shower and it keeps me smooth + fresh all.day.long. Also who doesn't want to smell like a coconut all day? It's like going on a mini vacay.
8. MAC +fix : Spray this before you put on your make-up OR after. OR even better when you do not feel like wearing any make-up at all, spritz and you will be left with a healthy glow. It looks as if you just went on a mini-jog, without having to actually run. Now that's what I call love.
9. Kiehls abyssine eye cream : I just started using this stuff this summer and I feel like I can't go to bed without it. I also put a little bit on in the morning to de-puff. I 'm quite skeptical about all eye creams, BUT I really feel like this stuff produces results. I guess only time will tell...
10. Cetaphil : This it the one and only face wash I use. I've used it for 10 years now and I will NEVER ever use another. It's gentle and keeps my skin squeaky clean.
11. O.P.I Pink-ing of you : This is hands down my favorite shade. It has that little bit of bubblegum pop, it's neutral and when you do not feel like sporting "vodka & caviar" or "russian navy" It will leave you feeling girly as ever, especially with all the leather + zippers. :)

  5. That's so funny, I laughed when I saw your choice of OPI colour and your comment: I'm a 'Vodka & Caviar' red girl ... always!

  8. Aw boo, your pictures don't like me anymore, cause most of them are not showing up. :( Oh well with your handy dandy descriptions of all the products I can simply use my imagination! And it's was lovely to know what you like to use, perhaps I will try some of these things about myself! :)

    And awww thanks for your super super super sweet comment! ♥ I didn't know people could be as sweet as you could until I met you! :D

    Aw why do you feel like you're going crazy? :( Are you still doing exams and what not? Hope things settle down and you get your peace of mind back soon! :)

    I feel quite good actually, except a stupid headache from lack of sleep, but my leg and back feel pretty much all better now, it was a much faster recovery than I thought so I am happy about that! :)

    Hope your day goes well dear! <3

  9. I meant, "try some of these things myself" I don't know what the "about" was in there for... that's what I get for skim proof reading and then clicking "Publish Your Comment" before I'm actually done! :P

  21. nars the multiple, yes ! i have it in orgasm, it's great.

    MINTGREENTEA IS MY LIFE.
    ohh i'm obsessed with it, except i've had to deal with plain old green tea as of late because i'm fresh out of the minty goodness.
    i drink two mugfuls in the morning, one at lunch, and three between the time i get home from school and the time i go to bed, on average.
    i like my tea ;]

    haha one time when i was wearing the coconut body butter, someone was like "eww, what is that smell ..." i just sort of backed away !


    happy thursday

  28. this entry rocks! I loove talking about beauty products. will definitely look into the Rosebud Balm (no idea where to get it), MAC + fix, and the Kiehls tinted moisturizer. I've been looking for the perfect barely-there foundation that covers imperfections. hopefully that will be it! and I have been wanting to try YSL Touche Eclat for the longest time!

  29. Such great beauty products!!
    Cetaphil is AMAZING and I am hopelessly addicted to green tea. Have you tried it with lemon? It's my absoloute favourite, although I am craving some with mint now you're mentioned it!!

    Gorgeous post, It's great to hear how some make-up sproducts are, as I'm not a huge makeup person, and am not too knowledgeable in that department!

    I hope you are well and happy! xx
