August Favorites ~ Makeup, Skincare, Haircare Etc

The votes were in, and most of you like Monthly Favorites blog posts. High Five! I like them too! :)

I just wrote August in the title, when in fact I've been using some of these products long before August.


  1. Spring It! Hair Removing Spring Thing ~ I can't live without this anymore! I use it mainly to remove hair from my upper lip, which I have to do often coz I click a lot of lip photos over here. On camera, even a leetle bit of hair look offensive (shown here). Basically, you hold both ends down into a U-shape, roll the spring on your skin, and straighten it to pull out the hair. Quick & painless- once you get used to it :))
  2. Clearasil Acne Clearing Scrub ~ This makes my face feel really smooth. The scrub isn't so big and abrasive, so it wouldn't hurt a ripe pimple. I leave it on as a mask too sometimes. However, it doesn't prevent pimples, coz I have a pimple right now when I'd just used it 2-3 days ago. But in it's defense, I'm getting pimples on and off lately. 
  3. Herbal essences None Of Your Frizziness Serum ~ With anti-humidity technology, it says. I love that it smells like mangoes. Slice, to be precise. It does help tame the frizziness I get right after washing.
  4. Etude House Missing U Hand Cream 'Panda Story'~ I LOVE this panda so much! I should have bought all of them! This one smells peachy and it does not make my hand feel slippery. I'm so afraid to use it coz I don't want it to be finished! (also shown here). Must collect more next time!
  5. Olay 7-in-1 Total Effects Anti-Ageing Eye Cream ~ I'm liking this a lot. It has tiny gold flecks in it, which are unnoticeable when applied. It's not very greasy/oily. The outer corners of my eyes used to be dry-ish and this has moisturized them to normalcy. Fine lines have also noticeably reduced. You can mix this with your concealer, and you've got yourself a YSL Touche Eclat dupe...ish, I think =D
  6. MAC Quite Cute Mineralize Blush Giggly ~ Favorite pink blush of the moment (swatches here). It looks so good especially at night under yellow light. I think it could be my favorite pink blush of all time.
  7. Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum Foundation #53 ~ This is almost exactly like the original Healthy Mix Foundation, except it is thinner (more liquid-ey) and less oily. It is easier to blend than the original too. Yes, I do like it better than the original. It smells so fruity & fresh, I could eat it. Coverage- Light to Medium. 
Swatches.....

Healthy Mix Foundation, Olay Eye Cream, Clearasil Scrub, Herbal Essences Serum

Olay Total Effects Eye Cream ~ Doesn't it look yum?!

Etude House Missing U Hand Cream

Other things I'm loving:
  • Nivea Fruity Shine Lip Balm in Pomegranate ~ My hubby sniffs & says "I smell jam, I smell jam!" whenever I use it haha. I'd click a photo of it, but it's finished. I'm going to get more jam soon! =D
  • Urban Decay Naked Palette ~ Review & swatches to come, but I'll tell you now, I LOVE IT!  Photos here
  • My Lipstick Sundae ~ I use it almost everyday! Will surely make more. Shown here
  • Makeup Storage Drawers ~ I can't sleep so well, coz I want more of them, like, right now! Shown here
  • Weeds Season 7 ~ Not a pothead, but I love this show! :)
  • New cupboard & couch ~ I'll maybe post pics of those sometime. My dressing room is kind of a mess right now. Planning to get a new vanity, wallpaper, and a shoe rack made. So much work needed!

What are your favorite products right now?

  21. Hey Cynthia, exactly which store was it from where you bought the hair removal stick? None of the traders on Ebay are shipping it in India.

I ♥ finding little notes in my Vanity Case, so do drop one. I read all of them & I try my best to reply to each & every one of them [check back in 2-3 days =D] but most times it's physically impossible! Either way, I love to hear from you & really appreciate you taking the time out to share your thoughts <3

Thank you for reading! :)
