Favourite blushes of 2012

Hey guys! As you know, i'm a huge blush fanatic and i'm always on the hunt for a new blush colour/brand. Hence, I would like to share my top 4 picks of 2012! There are drugstores and high end ones. I'll be mostly sharing my most used blushes in 2012, & believe me, i have ALOT of blushes.

Here I present to you my top 4 blushes of 2012:


From the left: NARS Sin, Majolica Majorca puff de cheek in Cherry
Stila convertible lip/cheek colour in lillium, Nars Douceur 

Majorlica Majorca puff de cheek in Cherry
 I have 2 of the Majolica Majorca blushes and i have to say Cherry is one of my favourites! It is very cherry red colour which gives you a very nice flush on the cheeks. I usually stay away from pink blush because it makes my sensitive cheeks look very red. Hence, i'm kinda surprise i even picked out this blush since it's red! However, this colour is really popular in Japan now and it looks gorgeous on yellow skin tones like me. The colour wears pretty well if i were to stay indoors in whole day. The best thing is it doesnt oxidise/turn colour throughout the day. I usually use the puff to apply the blush as i think the brush doesnt pick up much product. Be aware that the blush is very pigmented and hence i suggest using a light hand.


Nars Douceur
'Nuff said. Most natural blush ever. If i want a more natural look or the no makeup look, i always go to this blush. When i first bought it, i wore it everyday for 2 months. Shows how much i love it!


Nars Sin
This is one of the first NARS blush i bought & i never regretted it. It is a plummy pink which looks super natural on the skin. Do note that it is extremely pigmented and you only need to use a very light hand. This is very unique colour and I think it's definitely worth the price. NARS blushes are very long lasting which is another factor why I love NARS blushes.

Stila Convertible lip/cheek colour in Lillium
One of the most popular Stila cream blush. It's a natural browny pink which definitely shows up well on the cheek. I find it easier to apply with a brush, easy to blend. Usually i'll just use my traditional foundation brush to apply it. Last the whole day if you set it with a powder/blush overlay. I want to get another one! I think it is reasonably priced as well, 35SGD in Sephora which is not too bad for a higher end blush. :) I give it a big thumb up!:D

What about your favourite blushes? :)

Recent beauty haul!

Hey everyone! Just wanna share some of the beauty stuff i recently bought and have been loving!:) They are actually bought over the past 2 months, usually during times when i'm super stress and in an urgent need of retail therapy. LOL I will be sharing my favorites of the month in couple of days so keep a lookout for that as well!:)

From the Left: Missha Signature BB cream, Dior nudeskin liquid foundation, OPI polishes
Stila convertible lip and cheek colour

Thoughts of the products: (Will be doing in depth review later)
Missha Signature BB Real Complete BB Cream
LOVE this BB Cream! Hands down my favorite of all the BB creams i have tried. This is my 2nd tube! It gives very good coverage, does not break me out and it wears really well throughout the day. IF you tried the Missha Perfect cover BB cream and broke out from that, you may want to try this. :) Same thing happened to me :( 

DIOR Nudeskin Liquid Foundation
I heard this is the new reformulated foundation which supposes give you a coverage close to your second skin. It gives a semi matte finish and the foundation feels quite light on the skin. I got this foundation during the Sephora Friends and Family sale at 20% which is such a good deal, considering how expensive this foundation is. So far so good!:)

OPI polishes in Skyfall, Berlin There Done That
Awesome colours from their new James Bond and Fall collection. I really like Berlin There Done That. Very pretty taupe nude. Been looking for a light taupe for long while and OPI finally came out with the colour! Been wearing it loads and i just painted my toe nails with that polish. :)

Stila Convertible Lip and Cheek Colour in Lillium
Whee~ My newest blush acquisition! This is a very pretty browny pink which applies really nicely on the cheeks. I have been wanting this for soooo long. i finally caved in and bought it to celebrate the ending of my exams last week! (LOL Excuses) It was decently on the cheeks, maybe SG weather is super hot so it melts off faster:( Anyws, still an awesome colour and PS. Alexa Chung's fave cheek product. Hehes.

Ps. Trying out the new photo filter software. Hmmms, fail? LOL
