November favourites :)

Hey guys!
So its that time of the month again, TIME FOR MY MONTHLY FAVOURITES :P

-Essence Silky Touch Blush in 30 Secret It-Girl
I LOVE THE COLOUR OF THIS BLUSH :) I like that it really suits me too and looks natural :) Apart from the colour of the blush, I like the fact that it has just the right amount of pigment in it. Just a couple of swipes with your brush and you get the perfect intensity when you apply it. It's not super pigmented that even with one swipe it will make you look like our cheeks are on fire, or hardly pigmented at all to the point where you can rub your cheeks in it and there still won't be any colour on your cheeks.




-The Balm Time Balm Concealer
Before I go into why I like this concealer, I would like to say that I don't prefer this over my MAC Studio Finish Concealer which I got at the same time as this. The reason why I didn't add that into my monthly favourites is because I've been using that for a really long time and it's not really a new product that I've just tried out this month, so yeah. I love them both equally :)
But what I like about this is that it's look thick but it's actually thin and really easy to blend. It's not as creamy as my MAC Studio Finish one but it still provides good coverage :) Only thing that may be a problem is that the colour range is limited compared to MAC. For example, I got this in the lightest shade available which is light, and even The Balm's lightest shade is still darker than MAC's NW20




-Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel and Night Concentrate
After I went on my MAC and Sasa spree, I realised how much I was actually spending on all kinds of makeup. So I made a promise to myself and said that I will start spending more on skincare. So I went to purchase these products after I was flipping through a magazine. The water gel is meant for day time use and was $20.90 and the night concentrate was $25.90. I love that they really moisturise your skin and makes your skin look so much healthier. Also, I find the Night Concentrate one really convenient and hassle free as it works as you sleep, so all you have to do is apply it before you go to bed and wake up with moisturised skin! One drawback is that it made my skin super oily. I wasn't really worried about the Night Concentrate one as when you wake up in the morning you have to wash your face anyway. I was more worried about the day time one



-Neutrogena Skin Clearing Foam Cleanser
For once, I found a skin clearing wash that actually works for my skin. It is kinda drying compared to other facial washes, but maybe it has to be that way to work on my skin? Anyways, all I know is that I love it :)


-Patene Night Miracle Essence
I love that you can feel the difference in our hair the next morning when you wake up. Its not like other products that say you can start seeing results after a week or so of use. For me, I could feel the results just after the first use.


-Patene All Day Smooth Miracle Water
This is amazing going hand in hand with my Sunsilk Damage Reconstruction Leave-on Conditioner. It helps to protect my hair from heat and humidity while my Sunsilk Leave-on helps to make my hair healthier.


-Maybelline Hyper Curl Volum' Express Cat Eyes Mascara
This truly is the blackest of black and I use it over a 'base' mascara to help amplify it. However, over applying this with a thick base coat of another mascara can easily lead to clumpy lashes so always start out with a little of each mascara.
