Everyday Face 3rd/4th Qtr 2011

Forgive the Hugh Hefnerish wine-red furry bedsheet.

The Body Shop Concealer Pencil - Mainly used for the battlefield that is my chin. After years of using MAC concealers and having to contend with oily orangey patches emerging on my face a few hours after application even though I've fixed them with a dusting of MAC powder (I'm never entirely sure if it's the weather or the way I apply it), I decided to go back to TBS concealers earlier this year. My only criterion for concealers is that it must last the entire working day without reapplication and TBS delivers.

Etude House BB Magic Cream - Got caught up in the BB cream craze, haha (I have, like, seven other BB cream tubes in stock). It does live up to the hype; my face looks smoother and I can skip the foundation. The only downside is that it seems to set off the oil glands; I usually have to blot my face later in the day/night.

Majolica Majorca Lash Gorgeous Wing Neo - Love, love, love. Makes my lashes look lush and feathery as if they are about to fly off. I do prefer the drugstore-brand mascaras, if you consider the fact that we need to dispose of mascaras after three months of use. I also bought the Majolica Majorca Skin Remaker with it, but got it just for the pretty case, to be honest.

MAC Russian Red - My "Holy Grail" lipstick. Can be very intense for casual look. I usually just dab some on and smear it with whatever lip gloss I have on hand. For special occasions, it's full on.

The Body Shop Eye Definer - I am so clumsy with liquid eyeliners. This pencil liner is really convenient, especially when I'm in a hurry and can't be arsed to draw neat lines. I always end up with raccoon eyes at the end of the day, though. Maybe I need to invest in primer or something.

Okay, seems like I'm not entirely satisfied with most of these, but with makeup products, I rarely do. Can't wait for the day when I can just roll out of bed still looking gorgeous even with horrid bedhead.
