New Makeup New Look
December Favourites
Last month favourites of 2014 guys... I know it's bit cliche to say this but where did the time go? We are almost 2015... Man time flies!! By the way I will do a whole series of best beauty products in the year 2014 including makeup, skincare, hair, body, nails etc. and those will be out next week so look out! But now let's go ahead and talk about the beauty items that I have been loving for the month of December.
First up is a skincare favourite and I am falling head over heels with it. I don't know what takes me so long to get it but I'm so glad it is in my life now. It's unlike other balmy cleansers I've tried in the past, it comes out like a gel but once it's on the face it turns into an oil but very light weight and thin in texture, the most interesting part is that it "remains a little" after I take it off with a muslin cloth but in a good way. My skin feels so smooth, soft and nourished! If you are thinking that it leaves some kind of residue well, you are right, because it does feel there's still some product left on but in the nicest way possible, just makes your skin so moisturised, trust me you'll love this one. I'll link my full review here if you wanna know more in detail. Ohh did I mention it is the Renaissance Cleansing Gel by Oskia?!!!
Next up is a "foundation" that I have been loving, well I should say, BB cream, moisturiser and sunscreen all in one. It's the BB cushion by Laneige which is a well-known Korean beauty brand and apparently they make really good skincare and makeup products. I haven't really tried any other products by Laneige apart from this lovely BB cushion and one of their sleeping masks I think but that was years ago, it is pretty nice though. Anyways this gives me the coverage I need which for me is light to medium but I think you can build it up to a full medium. It glides on like a dream thanks to the cushion puff that it comes with, and the BB cream itself is so light weight, feels like second skin once it's on, literally!!! Plus it has SPF 50. Brilliant! Full deets is here.
Moving on it's one of the Diorific lipsticks by Dior which I've picked up this month, loved and worn it to death. It is from the Golden Shock collection in the shade 005 Daring Shock and I believe it is limited edition, not too sure though so don't quote me on it.

It is so gorgeous and so different than all of my other lipsticks because it comes in a duo coloured bullet which is very interesting and clever as one side is a satin-ish matte berry red (but looks more like a deep mauve berry on the bullet) and the other side is a pinkish metallic colour, more like a top coat for your lip if you will to give the lips a little sheen and an ombre effect which is just genius. A little of that metallic shade on the centre on the lips just makes them look more alive and so full-on. It glides on beautifully, smells light and lovely, kinda like bubble gum. I love it! It lasts really long as well which is just a bonus. I will definitely be picking up more of the Diorific lipsticks in the future. Ohh and did you see the vintage gold packaging? If this doesn't appeal you I don't know what does!!!
I pair it with my Sephora Nano lip liner in 15 Royal Rose which is another favourite of mine in the month of December. This lip liner is on the same tone as my Diorific lipstick but a little more on the pinky mauve side, they are just so dreamy together. Click here for the swatch. It is creamy, great colour pay-off, lasts well and affordable.
I have a blusher favourite this month which is Cabana Boy by theBalm Cosmetics. I'm not a pink blush fan but for some reason I have been loving this deep pink blush all month and just really enjoyed it. It is crazy pigmented so make sure be light handed.
I also have a brush fav this month and I think this will come no surprise to you because I just blogged it last week. I literally haven't been able to stop using it ever since I bought it. It is the lid/smoker brush from Too Faced Cosmetics. It just really gets in my outer V and makes my eyes look more contoured and defined. Love it!
Last but certainly not least is Tarte Gifted Mascara and I really have been obsessed with it and religiously using it all month long. I really like the bamboo looking packaging and would recommend this baby to anyone. It does the job in terms of separating, lengthening, and volumizing my lashes but the best part is that it is so easy to be removed which makes it that much easier for me and saves me time before bed.
There you have it guys, it has been an awesome month and I hope you all had a lovely Christmas with friends and families. I wish you a very happy new year and may the year of 2015 brings you tons of happiness and fortune. By the way don't forget to follow my blog because I have some amazing blogposts planned for 2015! See you next year! Bye! Muahh!
