March Favourites~

Hello everyone, here is my march favourites. I actually tried out a lot of new products this month, so I am really excited to do this favourites post for you all.
I also did a video on my channel, don't forget to check it out^0^~

Family picture of the lovely goodies:

Starting with skincare:
I recently received a trial bottle of the Skin MD natural shielding lotion. Originally, I didn't have too much expectations on this because I kind of think it's just going to be another "nice" lotion, but nothing amazing. However, this lotion really surprized me. The texture is light and non-greasy, super easy to absorbe and very hydrating. It definitely becomes my favourite sping/summer moisturizer.
I will do a full review on this product with a giveaway soon!^0^

Next, I have the long raved and beloved Mizuten flower moisture gel. Really really effective and light weight, I did a review during the first video on my channel, feel free to go watch it^0^.

Moving on to makeup. First, I have the laura mercier silk creme foundation, which I just reviewed in my previous video. I really love the texture and the finish of this foundation. I like to set it with the MAC fix+ spray, which is another of my favourites, because when setting this foundation with the fix+ spary, the finish just becomes even more dewy and natural.
If you have oily skin, I do recommend setting this foudnation with a powder instead.

For cheeks, I recently got the NYX powder blush in Terra Cotta, and I really love this shade. It's a bronzy golden peach color, very nice for the summer time~

For mascara, I am really lovinf the kiss me heroine make long & curl mascara, I know I promised to review this a while ago, but seriously, I will review it soon (please forgive me...磕头)^0^

This month I am really loving the two Rock and Republic eyeshadows I got from hautelook.

I also rediscovered this NYX nude on nude natural look kit. I got this last year, but I have hardly used it, recently I started using it again, and it is really amazing. Great quality for a cheap price, who can not love that, right^0^~

Finally, for lip products, I am loving NYX black lable lipstick in Heiress, and the combo of revlon soft nude+NYX mega shine lipsloss in juicy red. The combo just gives you a very natural red lips, not overwhelming at all, and very pretty and glossy^0^~

I hope you enjoy this post, feel free to watch the video on my channel if you'd like. Have a wonderful day!
Stay pretty and stay tuned!

Haul: NYX, Milani, Crown Brushes

Hello everyone! I have a haul for you today^0^! I just finished my accounting exam, haha, feelinf relieved.
I got two packages in the mail today, and I was just super excited. I only got one thing from hautelook, and everything else is from cherryculture.com
Hope you like it^0^~

I also have a video up if you want to watch it LIVE^0^~

First, from hautelook, I got the crown brush travel set:

From Milani, I got the mineral blush in Luminous, really similar to Rock and Republic "call me" and nars orgasm:

Everything else is from NYX, starting with blush, I got the NYX cream blush in Natural. This is by far my favourite cream blush, the texture is soooo buttery smooth, and the color is absolutely gorgeous.

It's a very cute candy pink color.

Next, I got 2 powder blushes, one in taupe for contour, and one in terra cotta, which is a bronzy peach color.

Then, I got some lip products. I really like NYX lip products. Especially the black lable lipstick. This is my first time trying it, and I am already very very impressed, the texture is super creamy, and moisturizing, really comparible to high end lipsticks.

Left to right: black lable lipstick in Heiress; Round lipstick in Thalia; mega shine lipgloss in juicy red; mega shine lipgloss in lollipop

Some falses, in 122 and 109:

Tutorial:Miss Tangerine Inspired Look~

Hello everyone! Finally I have another tutorial for you guys. This is a peachy spring look inspired by the new cf from Etude House, it featured Dara Park from 2NE1 to be Miss Tangerine. Basically the theme is to use all "tangerine" colors.

Disclaimer: This is an inspired look, I am not trying to copy Dara, nor do I think I look like her, I am just doing my inpired version of the look.

Here is the finished look, if you like it, please keep reading!^0^

OK, so first, I primed my eyes with MAC bare study paint pot, you can use any primer you like.

Then, take a peachy shade, I am using MAC "Arena", and apply that all over the lid as a base color.

Then I am going to take a shimmery light peach color, and apply that on the inner half of the lids.

Then, take a bright tangerine color, and apply that to the outer half of the lids. Make sure to apply it slightly over your crease so you can still see it when you open your eyes.

Then, I will tight line my eyes with a black liner, and line the upper lash line with a brown liner.

Then I used a dark brown shade righ along the upper lash line and on the outer 1/3 of the lower lash line to add some dimensions.

Then I took the light peach color again and blend that on the inner corner of the lower lash line.

Then I applied one coat of mascara to define the lashes, if you have good enough lash condition, you can skip this step.

Because I really want to accent my eyes, so I added some really natural half lashes on the outer corners of my eyes, again, if you have good lash conditions, you can skip this step.

Now the eye makeup is done^0^~
Eye makeup used:
MAC bare study pait pot
MAC Arena eye shadow
Costal Scents 88 eyeshadow palette
MUFD Aqua eyes 0L
Beautymaker eyeliner-coffee
Kiss Me heroine make mascara
False lashes: Ardell #21 (cut in half)

Face makeup used:
Laura Mercier Foundation Primer-Mineral
MAC studio Sculpt foundation-NC20
Laura Mercier secret concealer 02
Lancome Dual Finish powder-matte pearl I

Dara has really accented cheeks, so I used the Apricot color from the Jill Stuart Mix blush compact 06 Fresh Apricot on the apples of my cheeks, and blend it out with MAC my highland honey blush.

For my lips:
Revlon lipstick-Apricot Fantasy
Dior Addict High shine lipgloss-436 Apricot Clotch
It actually is very brigh in real life already, but in camera, it just does not show up as bright, sorry~^0^

For the finished look

I hope you enjoyed the tutorial, if you do not know already, I just started a youtube channel, please come and support me if you'd like^0^.

Thank you for reading!
Stay pretty and stay tuned~
