This is the first real perfume that I’ve owned. I consider
it my first ‘real’ perfume because before that I had a
Victoria’s Secret fragrance that came in a plastic bottle. Poppy comes in a real,
glass container and also has pretty packaging! I’ve worn this almost every day
since buying it over a year ago, and it’s only a little more than half-way used
up. For reference, I own the largest bottle, which is 3.4 oz. This is a flowery/sweet scent that all of my friends (girls and guys) enjoy!
I purchased this after I sadly ran out of my
Chanel Vitalumière Aqua at the end of November and I didn’t want to drop $50 to buy a new one. I also had a $30 coupon to
Sephora, so I figured I’d put that to good use. I’ve actually owned this in the past and liked its coverage then; I'm not sure why I stopped using it actually. This is definitely heavier and more buildable than the natural/light coverage of the Chanel foundation, and gives a more airbrushed look. I would say this starts at medium coverage and can be built up to heavy coverage. I’ve gotten a lot of compliments on how it makes my skin look. This hasn’t broken me out, which is nice because I sometimes find that happens when changing products.
I got this after buying the
Make Up For Ever HD foundation
because I didn’t like how the new foundation and my old setting powder (
MACMineralize Skin Finish Natural) worked together. I found the combination of the two wasn’t
mattifying enough for my skin and I would get really oily not even half-way
through the day! My little sister recommended this setting powder, and I really
like how it’s been working with the HD foundation. I do think this powder is heavier than the MSF, but it doesn’t give me cake-face at all.
My lips have been dry this month, and these chap sticks are
really nice. Not much to say, aside from that they hydrate/moisturize my lips well. Quenched
doesn’t apply with color, but Peach Kiss has a frosty peach tint. These were also extremely
helpful when I was skiing.
I
previously wrote about this color in mid-December. Since then (and even before that) I’ve had Metal Icon on my nails (using new coats of
course!). I love gunmetal on nails because it’s close to black but not as
harsh, and I think it’s more wearable that silver.
This eyelash curler has REALLY helped my eyelashes look semi
normal. I am half-Chinese and I unfortunately got those genes when it comes to
my eyelashes. They are short and stick straight out, so I need all the help I
can get to make them appear long and curled. I've used a few different eye
lash curlers, and this is the only one that has really made a difference; it’s
definitely worth the money, and you will most likely never need to buy a new
one!
Last but not least, MAC’s Painterly paint pot. I ran out of
my
Nars eye primer at the beginning of December and instead of buying a new one I decided to use what I did when I first got into make-up: MAC's paint pots. I've had Painterly for a long time, and while I've made
a huge dent in it, I’m not anywhere close to the bottom. Just another MAC
product that I’ve definitely gotten my money’s worth of. I like how this
product provides a matte wash of color to my lid, even if it is a few shades
lighter than my natural skin tone. I’ve never had a problem with creasing with paint pots. I like how these are available in a variety of colors; I
also own Indianwood and Constructivist.
