My all-time favourites: Lips & eyes

I must admit i honestly prefer to go au naturel these days mainly because it's ridiculously humid here in the Philippines. I don't know what happened to me but i've just been really lazy in putting makeup on. I find myself dabbing a little concealer on my under eye circles and a little bit on the sides of my nose and mouth to cancel the redness and then i'll just put a nude or light pink lipstick on and i'm good to go. I even skip the powder because i don't want my face to feel heavy and cakey. Okay, i don't claim to have a perfect skin in fact i have blemishes and red spots on my face but i think wearing less makeup or no makeup at all helps get rid of my imperfections. My point? You don't always have to wear makeup every single day. i really wanna promote going bare faced once in a while just to let your skin breathe. I don't really care if i look like a zombie as long as i feel comfortable. But anyway, moving on with the post. On days when i feel a little experimental here are some of my favourite makeup products. 


Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette
I am not embarrassed to admit that this is the only High-end makeup palette i own right now. Mehehe! I lost my Urban decay feminine palette last year and i'm still pretty bummed about it. But the Naked 2 has every color you need, i stopped using this for a while because as i've said it's like a bajillion degrees outside but when certain occasions call for it this has always been my go-to palette. I sometimes mix this with my NYX eyeshadows or my Pinky swear single eyeshadows. 


•Revlon just bitten kissble balm stain in Honey Douce
-this has been my favourite out of all the shades in the balm stain line. It has a suttle nudish pink color but it's not super nude. It's perfect for everyday. Plus, i really love the fact that it's very mosturizing on the lips and it also has a cooling effect. 

•Ever Bilena matte lipstick in Mauvey
- My ultimate cheap thrill. This shade is perfect as a base or you can wear it as it is but for me, i really like using this as a base color and i just top it off with any pink lipstick for a suttle pink shade perfect for everyday.

Maybelline color sensational lip color in Plum Perfect
- At first i didn't really like the color because i was expecting it to be a bit darker considering it's a plum shade but for some reason it appeared to be a pink champagney and a little frosty which i'm not too excited about but i still gave it a try and i ended up really liking it. It's perfect for November and December.

•Revlon Colorburst lipgloss in Crystal Lilac
- i bought this mainly because it reminded me of my old favourite Mac lipglass in the shade Oyster girl but this has more pink in it. I really like the packaging and the fact that it's not sticky. I usually wear this on top of the Mauvey lipstick.
