April Favourites and Wishlist
PUPA Vamp! Mascara WaterproofA mascara that gives plenty of volume, length and keeps my lashes curled. When it was new, it wasn't that impressive and it still isn't as fantastic as the regular version (that one is truly impressive), but it gives quite ...
NAJ OLEARI Lovely Cheek Blush 02 Petal Pink
It was a raving review that pointed me to this blush. I've been eyeing these for a while, as the whole brand has a luxury feel too it, but it's doesn't have inflatted high-end prices, as they are more of a mid-range. You really get a quality blush and ...
SKIN79 Super+ Beblesh Balm SPF50+ PA+++
Don't let the mini tube confuse you, this is just a mini size, though a generous tester/travel version. Many years ago I had a medium sized pink version, which I think is the original formula (Skin79 BB Cream Hot Pink Super+ Beblesh Balm), but the shad...

*ORIFLAME Giordani Gold Age Defying Serum Boost FoundationVanilla NeutralOriflame had an Age Defying foundation before, which was sent to me in a dark shade some time ago, but regardless the formula impressed me and I used it on others, on who it alwa...
S-HE Gel-Like’n Ultra Stay Nail Polish
Though S-He products were some of the first I ever bought because back in the days before Essence and Catrice, this was the cheapest brand, I've never been a fan of the theirs. However, the nail polishes have been a highlight since their beginnings. Th...

ORIFLAME Giordani Gold Age Defying Serum Boost FoundationVanilla NeutralThis is Oriflame's newest foundation. I find it's very similar to their Pure Uforia formula, which I put in my 2023 favourites, so it's another very lightweight, hydrating formula ...
MAX FACTOR Lipfinity 120 Hot
These have been around for a long time and they were the first 2-step lipsticks came across. I wanted to try these, but the shade range is so frosty. I checked the limited selection we have in drugstores and there was nothing I'd wear daily. I was sent...
ESSENCE Baby Got Blush 01 Tickle me pink
These little sticks have had quite a moment since they launched. It took me months to track one down, since the Essence stand here has been more empty than full in the last year. Actually even a few days ago there wasn't a single one of these on the st...
Maybelline Matte Lipstick 927 Rose Spell
This was one of the shades I found when I was looking for a dupe of Mac's Please Me and Jordana's Matte Lipstick in 48 Pink Passion (the other dupe was Eveline's Velvet Mat Lipstick in 510). It's one of the old Maybelline's lipsticks design - they've ...

IT COSMETICS CC+ Nude GlowFair PorcelainFinally an It Cosmetics CC that has a pale shade. It's not as high coverage as the original, but it has a hydrating formula that suits my dry skin. It's lightweight, has a light-medium coverage and a glowy finish...
