Yep, another "favourite products of the month" post, albeit a little late...
But anyways, onto the products:
Contour colour from Elf: finally, I can contour my cheekbones! And make it look natural, not like having two orange stripes in my cheeks, hooray!!! The orange blush, I'm not so fond of- but that's ok. This product is a keeper!
TBS eyeshadow in 04-Granite: an old favourite, this has been my everyday choice for a natural shading on my lids. Although now that it's been discontinued, I should probably save it until I find a good dupe...
Elf cream eyeliner in Coffee: ever since I got this product, I use it almost everyday. It's not the darkest brown eyeliner in the market but still, it's more than decent for the price ;)
Art Deco black eyeliner: this past month I made good use of my liquid liner for a quick and neat evening make-up look. Sometimes, messing around with eyeshadows can be so time consuming...
Apivita mask with Cucumber: the pink clay Apivita sachet I was using was drying out my skin, so I made a change to this moisturising mask; my skin is loving it and I'm never going back to clay masks!
What were your favourites during March?

That elf contour color looks like Nars laguna / orgasm!
ReplyDeleteAre the shades similar cause I'm looking for a more affordable version
I use cucumber mask too! It's very refreshing and my skin almost "drinks" it all!These little packages are usefull I like them a lot...even as a tester...!
ReplyDeletethat elf combo is very popular is it powdery? Thanks
ReplyDeleteI have the Elf cream eyeliner in purple and I love it, it is equivalent to MAC in quality!
ReplyDeleteYou can see my favorites of the month at my blog! =)Happy weekend!!!

yes, yes, yes thumbs up for apivita's moisturising mask with cucumber! for a change i tried the korres moisturising mask with yoghurt( travel size) but it was nothing like the apivita's one!
ReplyDeleteeyeliner....oh i'm so jealous of you girls who manage to apply properly the eyeliner. can you tell me which is the easiest in use for an amateur :P ? the pot or the liquid eyeliner?
@M3n!, clay masks can be beneficial on oily skin, as long as you're not using them after an abrasive scrub. Personally, I like to use my masks right after my Apivita olive scrub. I'm glad you liked the Korres soap!
ReplyDelete@stella, oh yes, that's the principle behind this product: ripping-off Nars... I don't think the blush is close to Orgasm, but the bronze shade may be close to Laguna! See also:

@Demi, ha ha I love that they come in these "tester" sachets! That means I don't get bored of finishing a 50ml tube of face mask ;)
@Beauty shades, the blush is a little powdery, the bronze colour is ok though ;)
ReplyDelete@Argyro, that's great news! I thought that those shimmery versions of the Elf cream eyeliner weren't that good...
@evi, oh I feel exactly the same, sometimes the Korres products fail to amaze me as much as the Apivita ones... But the latter definitely need better (or more) advertising!
As for eyeliner, now that I've tried both options I can honestly say that the pot/cream eyeliner is much more easier to use- provided you use a good angled brush, though ;)

Hey, two of my faves in your list!!! I can't wait to see what else you got from Elf. Oh, and thank you for the lovely comment sweetie! xxx
ReplyDelete@Jennifer, aww thank you sweetie! I actually own two little dogs and they won't allow any other pets in the house! The staircase was from a beer house, I wish my place had stairs that looked like this...
ReplyDelete@Artemi, thanks doll, I'm glad you enjoyed them ;)
@Arietta, ah you mean the two Elf products! Yep yep, I'm so excited waiting for my 2nd order to arrive!

clay mask do cause sensitivity i think. i have used a clarins one and omorovisza clay mask, and I have been witnessing the same effect. it is killing me around the nose cheecks and jaw every time.
ReplyDeletethe only clay mask that I have found not to cause this problem is Lancome's clay mask which is AMAZING but it costs 30 pounds here which is a lot for a mask
That's good to know, I thought I was the only one experiencing dry patches with clay masks! Eh why bother with the Lancome mask, I would get bored of finishing a big tube anyways...
ReplyDeleteSo, the cucumber one you say? I think I've missed this one, need to stock up!!!
ReplyDeleteGranite looks gorgeous btw!!!

Yeah, the cucumber mask is fantastic! It's so soothing when used after a face scrub ;)
