May Makeup Favorites + Disappointments

This month has gone by so quickly. I also got tons of new products this month so it was hard for me to choose my monthly favorites. But regardless, here are my favorites for the month of May~

Favorites

1. Lioele Triple the Solution BB cream
~I know I have been including this in all my makeup favorites, but this month I actually finished my first tube! I can honestly say that this has become my HG foundation/BB cream! I love it! I am pretty much down to the very last drops of my tube, but thankfully I have a back up :) I am thinking of doing an updated review for this BB cream, but I don't know yet. Let me know if you would like an updated review.

2. MAC Studio Finish Concealer in NC20
~Firstly, this color only matches my skin in the summer, hence why I am using it currently. I love this concealer because it covers so nicely and it stays put all day. It is a bit thick, but if you use it correctly it will look fantastic. This has been on my face this entire month,and I have not touched my Kat Von D concealer at all.

3. MAC 'Fun and Games' Sheertone Blush (from the HK collection)
~This was one of my first MAC blushes ever. And although I love it, I had not been using it. So this month I decided that I needed to use it! And I have been using it every other day. Not only is it a perfect color for spring/summer, but it is sheer enough that it will give the skin a subtle color and shimmer. It is great for a more natural, peachy cheek.


4. Chanel Soleil Tan De Chanel
~Amazing bronzer! It does not look orange on my skin and it blends so easily. I have been using this a lot this month! But as you can see from the picture below, my brush sheds a little >_<"

5.Dolly Wink liquid liner
~The most precise, the most easy to use, and the cutest eyeliner I have ever encountered! A bit expensive, but definitely worth the money.

7.Revlon Pink Pout Lipstick
~Perfect pink  for my skin tone! It is a pink with some purple undertones that is very wearable for everyday. And its a matte that does not dry out my lips! This is my HG drugstore lipstick. I will always repurchase this. I love it more than many of my MAC lipsticks. High end, does not mean better quality~

8. OPI Mermaid Tears
~My favorite nail polish of the month. A gorgeous minty, sea foam teal. Hard to describe!
Yet another winner from OPI! Click on the link to see my NOTD using this polish.

Disappointments!!
Some disappointing products for this month are:

1.MAC MSF Natural and Studio Fix Powder Foundation
~I am among the many that breakout anytime these products come into contact with my face. Why??? I have no clue, but yet again these were extremely disappointing this month. I gave them another try and BAAM! Right in the face! Literally!They broke me out horribly.

2.NARS eyeliner 'Kitty'
~Such a shame. This color is so beautiful! It is a vibrant sky blue that looks so amazing! But it smudges like crazy. If an eyeliner could have mental problem and be clinically insane, then this eyeliner would definitely be in a mental institution. Ugh. The worst part is that I wore it when it was not even hot. Imagine this:
Its a warm, sunny day. Your eye makeup is beautifully done, accented by a gorgeous blue eyeliner. And then suddenly....MELTDOWN! Your eyeliner is all over the place! Splashes of blue EVERYWHERE!!!
Yeah... no thanks, I'm good.

I hope that "My Favorites" posts are useful and informative for you guys. I am going to start to write down what products I hated for every month since I feel that I don't do posts on products that I didn't not like.
Thanks for reading :)

P.S. I would appreciate some feedback from you guys.
What kinds of posts would you like to see? And what do you think that I should improve on in my posts?
This would help me out a lot, and in turn it will make my posts more enjoyable for you, my readers. Thanks :)

  3. Ack, sorry to hear MSF Natural didn't work for you. :( But amazing favorites, I especially love the lipstick. Also, the Chanel bronzer and MAC HK blush look amazing on your skintone!

  4. I can't say I really have any dislikes about what you post, anytime I get to see swatches I'm happy! You post about companies that are controversial (Lime Crime, NYX) and I still really enjoy your posts, so ... I'd say you're doing well ^.^
