My Gorgeous Pink Cheeks: July 2013

Chanel CC Cream

Ever since I jumped into the BB cream bandwagon years ago, I never came back. Tell me, what's not to love in this cosmeceutical? It's a foundation, moisturizer, primer, sunscreen, whitening and anti-ageing cream rolled into one. It cuts my getting-ready routine remarkably short, giving me ample time to wisely choose what lipstick to wear.

So naturally, when I learned that a new version of this cream would be released, I was deeply intrigued. Chanel coined the name of this breakthrough product as CC Cream, which by the way stands for Complete Correction. Next thing I know, I was calling my reliable Chanel MUA and reserving one for myself.

Bobbi Brown

Bobbi Brown Illuminating Face Base

I hate foundations that make my skin look flat and unnatural. I appreciate the coverage and the evenness that foundations give. But I (really) despise how some foundations tend to suffocate my skin (read:mask-like feeling), leaving it looking dull and aged. So to achieve that lit-from-within glow that I prefer, I always incorporate adding an illuminating product in my make up routine. Looking for a good product that would make your skin radiant and youthful-looking? Then give Bobbi Brown Illuminating Face Base a try.

CareFreeShopper

Mac Riri Woo Lipstick

When the news came out that Rihanna would be collaborating with Mac, all hell broke loose in the beauty community. Beauty geeks all over the world were eager to get a few pieces (or all) from this very-sought-after collection. So when I learned that CareFreeShopper has items from the collection on hand, I immediately added Riri Woo lipstick in my cart and checked out like my life depends on it. Added bonus, my Mom offered to pay for the lipstick - talk about another birthday gift, yey! So without further ado, here's my Mac Riri Woo Lipstick in all its glory!

UNIQLO Haul!

I adore Uniqlo UT shirts, so when I spotted them on sale days ago, it felt innate for me to pick a few pieces. I rummaged through piles of clothing and luckily, I still found some of the items that I've been eyeing for ages in stock (and in my size). Yey!

Nivea

Nivea Deodorant Invisible For Black & White

Just a little trivia: Besides jotting my thoughts on make up or other products on my blog, I am also a registered nurse, and I work 12 hrs a day, 4x a week. I've been accustomed to wearing white uniform for almost a decade now and have encountered all types of stains along the way. The one I hate the most? Yellowish stains on the underarm area caused by antiperspirant/deodorant. Let me tell you, this type of stain is a pain to remove. Good thing, Nivea came out with the first deodorant with 48-hour antiperspirant protection that leaves no white marks on dark fabrics and also minimizes yellow stains on light-colored clothes. I'm talking about Nivea Deodorant Invisible For Black & White.

Estee Lauder Pure Color Long Lasting Lipstick in #75 Forbidden Kiss

The easiest way to kiss your way into the daring zone is by amp-ing your lip color. Swipe that bold deep red lipstick and you'd instantly feel more powerful, even sexier. These are exactly the things that one particular lipstick tube makes me feel. Oh yes, (as the title implies) I'm talking about Estee Lauder Pure Color Long Lasting Lipstick in #75 Forbidden Kiss.

Cosmetics

Laura Mercier Flawless Face Book Portable Complexion Palette in Nude

Despite the urge to carry all my make up with me all the time (because I just love having my options nearby), just the thought alone screams (ridiculously) impractical. Besides the fact that I love carrying just a small make up bag with me, I'd also bet toting an x number of kilograms worth of beauty essentials would not be pretty smart for my spine. Good thing, we are now living in an era where everything that we need has a portable version (or even an app). Heads up ladies because housed in this uber classy compact are four essential products that we all just need to get that polished, flawless face.
