beauty arsenal

Not that anyone would be particularly interested, but i decided that of all the posts I'll do on this blog, this should be one of the first. I made a very random and rather slipshod polyvore of my favourite beauty products. Well, this is some of it, they don't have all the brands I like, like ZA. And some other stuff.

I know the picture is tiny, but you can click on it to see the enlarged pictures on the polyvore site. Row by row from left to right, top to bottom. Here's what they are and why I like them.

Carmex Lip Balm helps me forget about my chapped lips misery because it works like a charm.
Body Shop Vitamin E Body Butter
not really for scar lightening (what vitamin E promises), but because it smells good and the texture is not heavy.
Rosebud Lip Salve
not only serves as a good lip balm, its nice glossy pink sheen is nice lip gloss too.
Shu Uemura Blush in Peach 44
makes me look awesome every morning.
Clinique Pore Minimizer
reduces the appearance of pores instantly, so on days when I feel like my face is ready to see the world in its naked form (quite often), I just apply this and blush. Or something.
Shu Uemura Cleansing Oil
removes every last trace of make up from my skin and gives me the feeling of a really, really clean face.
Shu Uemera Eyeliner Pencil
does not smudge at all unlike MAC, although MAC has more intense colours.
Kiehl's Lip Balm in 30G
adds a nice reddish sheen to add to my lips (I'm not really a fan of lipstick) and is very conditioning.
Stella by Stella McCartney perfume
has been my favourite scent for a while now.
Body Shop Lip and Cheek Stain
gives natural looking red cheeks and lips and it's easy to apply and inexpensive.
Eyes Lips Face Eyeshadow Palette
and only this particular one because the colours are very wearable.
Lancome L'Extreme Mascara
stays on for a long time, and it also seems to separate my lashes.

Things I discovered about myself: I have a lot of lip balm, I quite like Shu Uemura and I don't wear much make up to begin with.

I also discovered the irony of me being a non fan of lipstick.

Until next time!
