March 2011 Favourite Products

Since Yesterday was the end of March I thought it would be fitting that my first post be a monthly favourites post.

I feel like this time of year is definitely a time of transition...goings from the cold, snowy, drier months to the warm, sunny, and humid months definitely mark the time to start getting back into brighter colours and lighter skin care.

1.  Ole Henrickson - 3 Little Wonders Kit

With my 25th birthday coming up, I am starting to notice that my skin is not looking quite as young as it did in my teens. I have always had combination skin that had a tendency to become quite oily, especially in the summer months. I am having a harder time keeping my skin from looking dehydrated and my monthly breakouts have taken a toll on my once-even complexion.

This set comes with a the Truth Serum, Invigorating Night Gel, and Sheer Transformation Cream. I have to say that after using this system for about 3 weeks I have noticed a big difference in the overall hydration and plumpness of the surface of my skin. Another plus, is that my acne scars are starting to fade and I am definitely needing less concealer for those spots.


I will be doing a full review on all three products in the near future!

2.  Lise Watier - Sun Smart Universal UV Shield SPF30

I am loving this for daytime. It is so silky smooth and is a fantastic primer (it has the feel of a silicone primer. Wears beautifully all day long under my MUFE HD, doesn't clog my pores. Just love it!


3.  Make Up For Ever - HD Invisible Cover Foundation

I have been wearing Laura Mercier Mineral Loose Powder Foundation for the past couple years but what made me try the MUFE HD was the fact that I would get a white cast in photos. So I basically just bought this to use for when I go out at night.


I will say, that it took me about 2 months of trial and error (I was ready to return it because I felt like it made my skin dry a cakey looking!) before I fell in love with it. But now that I know to apply with my fingers before using my flat top brush to blend out, I am in love!



4.  Make Up For Ever - Super Matte Loose Powder in Medium

I originally wanted to try out the HD powder to go with my HD foundation but after reading about the photography mishaps caused by that powder I decided to try something else. Although I usually dont like to listen to sales associates at Sephora, I was chatting with a girl who seemed very knowledgeable and trust worthy, so I trusted her suggestion in trying out the Super Matte Powder. I think that this is going to come in super handy come summer time when I start to get more oily.  If you have dry skin, I would not recommend this.

4.  Revlon - Super Lustrous Lip Glosses SPF 15


I have three colors in the Super Lustrous gloss line: Coral Reef, Pink Pop, and Pink Pursuit.


These glosses have sheer but buildable colour. I love the Coral Reef and Pink Pop for an extra pop of color...They get me excited for spring! Pink pursuit is my perfect pinky-nude (my-lips-but-better) colour. I wear it alone or with my Revlon Colour Burst lipstick in Blush for a more polished look.


5.  Tarte - Cheek Stain in Tickled

This stain is just so natural looking an long lasting. I apply it with a small Sephora blush brush. You get a huge amount of product..I honestly feel like this will last me forever.
