Today, I thought I’d do The Beauty Scenario tag that I’ve seen floating around YouTube and now, beauty blogs. I saw it on Auxiliary Beauty, which is what pushed me to answer, haha. Anyway, please enjoy! Maybe? Link yours in the comments if you’ve done it; I’d love to read! Ahem:
Before March ends, I’ll go ahead and share this box I got from BDJ a few weeks ago! Following their last, Kawaii Must-Haves box, BDJ’s March box* is larger than usual. If the header photo didn’t already give it away… the box is a Pond’s exclusive! I remember Pond’s as my first facial wash choice when I was a young’n and although I haven’t tried their famous cold cream, everyone I know—and their mother!—swears by it as a makeup remover. I don’t have strong feelings for Pond’s as a brand—I kind of find the “Flawless White” campaign kind of damaging, but maybe that’s partly because I am not the biggest fan of Toni Gonzaga. I guess that’s neither here nor there.
Quick post of an FOTD, in which I had to force myself to wear a non-neutral lip and not regret it. (It worked out okay.) I was also watching a video on highlighters the night before and it made me really want to break out my BECCA Shimmering Skin Perfector again, so I did.
And another belated review for one of my fave lip products from my Korea trip… last year. I told you I’m running on an immense backlog, you guys. Anyway, here be the 3CE Lip Lacquer in Desert Flower. It’s essentially a liquid lipstick that semi-sets to a somewhat velvety texture. It packs a lot of punch! I’ve tried another color prior to Desert Flower, a loud neon pink called Pink Boom.*
I actually got this up on time, ish! Go me. If you’re new, the Beauty Vault VIP is an annual beauty subscription by Le Métier de Beauté that’s on its second year. Each month’s box “costs” about $30, which is a pretty good deal considering LMdB’s usual price point which, let’s face it, is sky-high. I haven’t bought any new makeup items this year (so far), and I think my desire for new makeup is curbed in part by these monthly arrivals. 🙂 I’m pretty happy with the March box, which is a set of what looks like to be one Lip Crème and one Sheer Brilliance Lip Gloss. I am a fan of both, so I’m on board this train. It’s been met with lukewarm reviews, from the BVVIP forum I frequent, and though I’ve yet to wear these shades in particular, both of these lip gloss formulas are two of the few I do like anyway.
I love getting to try new K-Palette products because they’re always good. I always go on to try other liquid liners and eyebrow products, but I always go back to K-Palette. I’ve been mostly using the 24H Real Lasting 2Way Eyebrow Liner in G101* since July (!!!) and it’s only now that the marker end is drying out. Granted, I don’t wear makeup everyday, but when I do, I always put on dem brows. I’ve never encountered the K-Palette Real Lasting 2Way Eyebrow Pencils* before, but they’re a welcome addition to my brow arsenal, especially now that I have a strong, strong desire to try out the pencils from Hourglass and Anastasia. Crisis averted! For now.
I posted about my skincare routine for my face, after I burned it baking under the sun (ha), and I figured I’d do one for my body since I badly burned it too. Other than drinking copious amounts of water to rehydrate, here’s what has been helping my poor skin recuperate.
