Alright, I admit that this post is mainly for you ladies out there. But hey hey, no discrimination! If there is by chance any of you guys reading this post right now, you are very much welcomed! And of course, do not be ashamed! You're about to learn something new about beauty products very soon!
Anyhows, a quarter of the year has zoomed by us and it's already nearing the fourth month of the year!
To start the post, I want to clarify that I'm not the best at makeup nor beauty products. But of course, some good things are meant to be shared (I've had some girl friends asking me about the products I use daily), so here are my top picks of 10 beauty products for this month! Enjoy! :)
This is one of the best hair product I have ever used. It LITERALLY smells like caramel candy and leaves my hair all prepped up and smooth the next morning. It's hydrating and heat protecting too! Great for protecting my hair from all the damage my straightener does to it. Forgot how much I got this for but it was really cheap! Got this in Boots Thailand.
I rarely finish any makeup products before throwing them away/ losing them, but this one really holds up the record. I finished all of my previous tarte concealer sticks (same one in the pic) and this one is my third one! The concealer is creamy (not sticky or oily) and gives a really good coverage on my skin. On lazy days, I would just apply some concealer on my dark circles and would be good to go.
I am a pretty clumsy person when it comes to my makeup products, and after multiple drop downs, my MAC blush would crack but still be usable! The previous MAC Blush I had was also in this colour - I got a new one in the same shade because the previous one was getting old. Fun fact : Makeup expires too! This exact blush has been with me for about two years now and is only less than 1/3 used. Super long lasting!
Colour : Custard
Colour : Unapologetic

1) The original Beauty blender
This one is the holy grail among makeup tools.
I got this for around S$30 in Sephora Singapore. At first I was like "Why should I spend 30 dollars for makeup sponge which I can actually get for S$5??". But then being the curious me, I bought it and was proven wrong. My makeup blends so much better than when using normal makeup sponge! This is a total game changer for liquid foundation and concealer application!
2) Tony Moly Perfect Eyes Pro Mascara
Bought this under the recommendation of a retailer at Tony Moly when I was in Korea earlier this year. To you guys out there, you apply mascara onto your eyelashes to make them appear thicker and longer.
The Tony Moly mascara coats on my eyelashes very easily and comes off quickly with makeup remover. It does not clump up and gives the eyelashes much more volume! Pretty good mascara I would say!

3) Inecto Pure Coconut Heat Protecting Leave-In Conditioner
4) Tarte Amazonian Clay Waterproof Concealer
Colour : Light- medium honey
What's better than a concealer? A waterproof concealer!
5) L'occitane Creme Mains Hand Cream
Scent : Subtle Violet
If you use L'occitane, you'd know that their products normally smell terrible because of their all natural composition. I've used most of their products - bath gel, shampoo, body lotion, hand cream, lip balm, perfume (you name them) and most of them really don't smell so good! This hand cream leaves your hands super moisturized and is really nice smelling! <3 Recommend to give this scent : Subtle Violet a try!
6) MAC Satin Powder Blush
Colour : Fleur Power
One good thing about MAC's powder blush is that they don't break easily when you drop them on the floor!
7) Makeup Forever Aqua Liner
Colour : Mat Black
I love everything about a good liquid liner. I have been using this for two good years (My second one. I like to stick to the same makeup product once I'm used to it). I have tried the Maybelline Master Duo, Cyber Colors' 24hr flat liner pen, Maybelline Express Eyeliner, and some other brands before but none of them were as easy to apply as this particular one. This one is pretty long lasting - but it does smudge a little by the end of the day as my face starts to get a little oily.
8) Nars radiant creamy concealer
This one was highly recommended by the retailer in San Francisco's Sephora when I asked for recommendation of a good concealer. It does the job of concealing perfectly! However, in my personal opinion, it is a little too oily for my face. Nevertheless, I finished the whole tube of it.
P.S : A lot of beauty gurus raved about this as well!
9) Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm
**edited : If you haven't already known, Revlon's Color Burst is the "in thing" early last year. I may have caught the train a little too late but a good lip colour can wait!
Normally, the good colours in the Revlon's Color Burst series were always out of stock when I go to the makeup counter. So when this one caught my eyes during my grad trip, I had to buy it (I bought two in different shades, one for my sister)!
I'd normally use only a layer of this before applying my Nivea lip balm. This one is a must have if you are searching for a pigmented stain! Colour doesn't wipe off easily!

10) Marc Jacobs Fragrance
Scent : Honey
My current everyday perfume. I would normally experiment with different perfume once the current one runs out. I am super fond of all kinds of Marc Jacobs' Fragrances!
Well that's it to my Top Picks for Beauty Products in the month of April! Anyone using the same products as I do? What are your favorite products? I'd love to know! <3
