✿ December Favorites 2012

Hi ladies!! I'm sorry I haven't been posting lately but I had food poisoning until a few days ago. It took me a week to fully recover and it was awful! I thought I was going to die ^^;

Anyway, here I am with this month's beauty favorites post. I'm not really in the mood for making a video so I decided to post about it. I also decided to only make a blog post about my monthly favorites not a video. I've been using various skin care products the past month but most of them broke me out even though they worked well. So these are the things that worked well and didn't break me out ^^!

Essence Mask Hyaluronic Acid from Etude House: My skin type is normal with oily T-Line and dry patches... Yes... Dry patches appeared. My skin felt totally dry so I decided to use this for excess moisture.  These masks worked well. My T-line didn't get much oily either. I'm going to repurchase them as soon as I can ^^)

Collagen Eye Patch from Etude House: I love love those! I use them before I fall asleep and the area under my eyes look fresh and moisturised in the morning! I hope they make my fine lines disappear eventually. We shall see! These patches became essential for me. I highly recommend those!

Visibly clear Oil-free Moisturiser from Neutrogena: Moisturises, prevents acne and makes my skin look healthy. T-Line stays normal and moisturised. I've noticed the creams for oily skin gives that matte finish that doesn't look very healthy and moisturised in my opinion. I love this cream because it gives me a healthy moisturised skin without being oily nor totally matte. I think this moisturiser is here to stay!

Hand food Hand cream from Soap & Glory: The best hand cream ever. I had a HUGE problem with my hands. They were REALLY dry because of washing the dishes and stuff. This hand cream repaired them and it doesn't feel greasy on hands either. Also after my hands got back to normal that lasted a couple of days before I had to apply the cream again. Even after that my hands weren't totally dry. It's like the only reason I have to apply that cream is to maintain the moisture on my hands. A really good hand cream with nice smell^^) I've tried various hand creams and I think this one is the best!

High Beam from Benefit: Creamy, glossy highlighter from Benefit. I'm sure everybody knows about it. I like the glossy look so this highlighter have been my favorite this month. I also wore it yesterday on Christmas Day ^^

These have been the products I liked and worked well on my skin this month. I highly recommend them if your skin type is similar to mine of course. I hope you are having nice holidays!

October Beauty Favorites 2012

Another month came to an end! Another time that I couldn't make a video about my Monthly favorites, so here I am blogging about it! After a lot of thinking I decided to include the most used products of this October.

The list includes:

• Precious Mineral Bright Fit BB cream by Etude House
• Persephone Body Milk by Fresh Line
• Dear My Milky Gloss MBE102 by Etude House
• Jewel-Light Waterproof eyeliner 01 by Holika Holika
• Line Nuance Duo 5 by Etude House
• Skin mal:gem Fresh Toner by Etude House
• Face Color 16 by Paul & Joe

1. Jewel-light 01 2. Line nuance Duo #5 3. MBE102 Milky Gloss 4. Face color 16

Precious Mineral Bright Fit BB cream by Etude House: Not too matte but not too glossy finish. It's something in the middle and I love that very very much. Medium to high coverage (very good for BB cream) and it doesn't have a sticky feeling that some say about BB creams. I decided to include this because I'm almost out and I'm not gonna take it with me to the new house because I  have so many things to move from Greece to the UK after all. I'll probably repurchase it but I'm thinking of trying the Sun BB cream by Etude House.

Persephone Body Milk by Fresh Line: I was looking for a pure body milk because Autumn made my skin dry. I'm happy that I discovered this body milk because it does its job very well. It's pink includes Ylang-Ylang and Jasmine Aroma/Scent. I must say the scent is very strong and it reminds me of Paganistic rituals! But more something like Wicca. It's weird eh? Like a Wicca ritual for spring even though I never attended one lol. Nor I'm a wicca but I did a lot of research about them when I was a teenager.

Dear My Milky Gloss shade MBE102 by Etude House: I'm so in love with this lipgloss! It gives me a natural colour on the lips but also makes them look very creamy like Caramel Cream. I think this is the best nude lipgloss I've ever tried. It can be worn by itself because of the pigment. It leaves a sticky feeling at the beggining but it stops being sticky after a few minutes. No glitter, no shimmer just what I like on lipgloss! It has a soft scent, something between fruit and candy. I can't tell exactly! But I like it cause it's soft.

Skin mal:gem Fresh Toner by Etude House: My face got into a big shock of dryness after Autumn arrived! I had to use whatever moisturizer came across, good thing I  had a lot of samples because Be Clear Moisturizer and Super Aqua creams weren't enough. Most of my products are for oily/combo skin type. I have oily T-Line and the rest normal. But I needed high moisture all of the sudden. So I picked to use this toner two times per day instead of using the Pore ever freshner in the mornings because Skin mal:gem Fresh gives more moisture to the skin. Cleanses deeper and gives a fresh feeling. I really loved this, I almost finished it!

1. Jewel-light Waterproof Eyeliner 01 by Holika Holika  2. Line Nuance Duo #5 by Etude House

Jewel-light Waterproof Eyeliner 01 by Holika Holika: Your average creamy black eyeliner but it's waterproof. Easy to apply if nothing is worn as a base. I also made a video review about this on youtube.

Line Nuance Duo #5 by Etude House: I actually used the silver glittery side of this. It's a powder silvery eyeshadow on the other end of the pencil. I used it on the inner half of my bottom eyelash line. I wanted to give my eyes a K-pop look!

Face Color 16 by Paul & Joe: And last but not least, my all-time favorite blush. Shimmery and semi-creamy powder blush. It has pinkish peach blush on one side and shimmery soft bronzer on the other. You can use them separately but I like to mix them to get a natural peachy colour! I like the shimmer in blushers. High pigment but not like water colour blush... You know sometimes you get high pigmented blushes that leave stains on your face like you applied water colours.. This blush isn't like that but it maintains a high pigment at the same time.

Soo these are my favorites for October 2012 - I hope you like my post!
