April Favorites!!

Hello,

May is here and that means time for April favorites post. April passed by so fast for me because I took 10 days holidays and went back to Myanmar. It felt so nice to be home again. So, most of my April favorites are products that I bring to Myanmar and enjoy using. Let's get started. 

Last month, I bought new Origin skin care set to try. This VitaZing spf 15 moisturizer is within the set.  I really like this moisturizer , it has a nice sheer color and makes the face look brighter. It also has spf 15 so plus point. I really love to use it under my bb cushion during my stay in Yangon summer. I will write a separate review post about origin skin care products that I tried. :)

Next is Iope Air cushion XP. Iope is not sold in Singapore. I bought it from Q0010 I think I have tried Etude house and the face shop bb cushions before but this Iope brand is really good. Mine is in Natural N21. They have shimmer, natural and cover types and shades in N21 (yellow tone ) and N23 (pink tone ) . What I like about this cushion is that it gives light/medium coverage and makes the face glow. You can build up for more coverage. It gives you healthy glowing skin effect without cakey. You can just use translucent powder on top to last all day.  It is very convenient if you don't want heavy make up on your face everyday. I love to use it especially while on travel. The only downside is that like other korean bb creams, they don't have a lot of shades to match darker skin tones.. But if you are NC25 and below, this is a nice BB cream to carry with you. 

Next is L.A girl pro conceal concealer. I find this little guy accidentally while I was browsing at Sasa store. I heard some youtubers rave about this concealer before and it is really cheap compared to others. ( less than $10 ) So, I bought it to try. Mine is in shade nude. The coverage is good and is even similar to Mac pro long wear concealer. It is yellow based concealer so it is good to cover dark circles under the eyes but not for brightening purpose. It does not crease on me also. So far, this concealer became my favorite under drugstore category besides collection 2000 concealer.

Next is Benefit Lolli tint. I wanted benefit tints for so long. So, when I was at the airport, I took opportunity to grab Lolli tint and lolli lip balm with duty free price. Lolli tint is purple/ mauve orchid color and beautiful on my skin tone. They have four colors in their tints and I am glad I chose lolli tint. It gives the most natural flushed cheek when you apply with your finger. It lasts longer compared to powder blushes also. I am obsessed with this tint once I got it. You can blend easily with fingers but need to do one cheek at a time and a bit faster. If not, it drys quite fast and will leave stain on the cheeks. I prefer looli tint for cheeks compare to on the lips. It is not pigmented enough to use as lip color alone on my lips. I only use as a base color. Anyway, I love this tint and will grab other colors next time.

Here is the swatch after blend. But the camera does not really show the color though. 

My last item for April is Stila kitten single eye shadow (please see the product above in the first pic ). It is in the limited edition Kitten set ( includes eye shadow, cheek highlighter and lip glaze in shade kitten ) that I get from Sephora last month. I love this eye shadow the most in the set because it is creamy, blend able and pigmented. The color is champagne color which is good to highlight on the eye lids and inner corners of the eyes. :) 

Bye!
