As usual, another super late post, jeesshhh...I've been really late with my posting these days.. 

Got a lot of tasks to be done, weekly appointments to make, and also my routine freelance jobs that always come with tight deadlines. But I'm still grateful for all of that :) 

So...I'm sorry for the delay, but here it is anyway.. My monthly favorites post for last month >__<

In no particular order: 

Rainforest Cacao Natural Body Soap
Maybelline Color Tattoo in Bad To The Bronze
Maybelline Color Tattoo in Tenacious Teal
O.P.I Mini Nail Polish in #NLE73 Suzi's Hungary AGAIN!
Etude House Juicy Cocktail Gradation Nail Polish in #09 Kahlua Milk
Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Lovesick
Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Romantic
Maybelline Baby Lips Color in Berry Crush
Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler

I tried quite a lot of new-to-me products during last month and ended up liking some of them so much. Among them were the stuffs that was generously sent to me from my sponsor or from companies for review purposes. I end up falling in love head over heels with many of them ;p 

For example, this Cacao Natural Soap from Rainforest (review) that was sent to me from Bliss Beauty Collection. I was sent a package of 2 natural soaps and 1 natural body scrub, and I seriously love three of them so much! I even already put the scrub and the other soap into my August Monthly Faves post a while ago. I always love using natural products especially body soaps, and Rainforest is definitely one of my favorite local brand for natural products. This Cacao soap is great for anti-aging properties as well as keeping the skin soft, moist, and helps reduce scars on skin too.

Aside from natural soaps I'm also a fan of tinted lipbalms. I always use lipbalm every day, so that's why I have a lot of lipbalms in my stash, and nowadays my choice are more into colored / tinted lip balm because aside from giving my lips moisture I also got a hint of color to lighten up my complexion. I have dark pigmented lips so my face looks dull when I'm not wearing any lip color, so for days that I don't need to wear lipsticks I wear tinted lip balm instead for a more natural look. My current favorite is this Maybelline Baby Lips Color in Berry Crush (featured here) which has a very sheer pinkish red hue that can deceive people by believing that it's my natural lip color ;p

I was once shy with nail polish because although I love looking at pretty nails on pictures but I personally don't really wear nail polishes. That's because I seem to always struggle with applying them on my nails, it always got very messy so I guess I'm just not good at that. But this set of Etude House Juicy Cocktail Gradation Nails in Kahlua Milk (review) has successfully got me interested with nail polish again. This set comes in 3 different nail colors that have the same hue, the final result is a gorgeous neutral gradation color with a dazzling gold sparkle on top. So pretty...

After the Etude House set above I also got hooked with this beautiful shade of nail polish by OPI. This is the mini OPI Nail Lacquer in Suzi's Hungary Again! - I believe this one is from the OPI Euro Centrale collection set. I actually have another one in gold shimmers (Oy-Another Polish Joke) that I believe also came from the same set, but that one is a bit gritty when worn. I really like this one instead, the shade is a coral pink that somehow compliment my medium tan skin ;) - if you follow my instagram you must have seen me wearing this beautiful color on my nails.

Recently I tried out the very hyped-and-popular Maybelline Color Tattoo Eyeshadows (featured here) that just recently came into Indonesian market. From the first time I tried them on I fell in love completely with them. Mine is in the colors: Bad To The Bronze and Tenacious Teal - which both are super gorgeous vivid colors that I can wear everyday, both for day or night look, without having to worry about them melting on my eyes. The color pigmentation is absolutely amazing and the texture is soft and smooth, I can just use my finger to swipe it and then put it on the lids. I totally recommend these! 

Another hyped-up makeup items that I just recently tried on and fell in love with are these Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain (review coming up). I love these so much I kept on buying another color to collect, LOL. My current favorite shades are Romantic (red shade with orange tint), and Lovesick (a true pink shade). I always love lip colors in pencil/pen/crayon shape like these, and what's even better is we don't have to sharpen this one because they are retractable, so no sharpener needed ;) The colors are amazing, they lasts longer than my other lip stains, and the formula is very comfortable on the lips. It doesn't dry lips because it has moisturizing properties that lasts, and it also leaves a lovely stain after several hours.

Talking about hyped-up items, an old favorite of mine is the much hyped Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler which has been sitting in my vanity for several years now. It is still one of the best eyelash curler and it is the only eyelash curler that I have been using for years. Of course I have changed the rubber a couple of times since I bought it. I also like using this after I put on mascara, it lifts up my lashes and curl it up nicely.

So have you tried any of the products above? 

If you have, what did you tried and what do you think of it?
