The problem with having too many makeups is that I never know which product to use..it’s like a kid in a big candy shop..too many options to choose from. Monthly favorite posts help me to share my love equally – I like to put the makeups I have been using for the past month aside and pick a new set of makeups for the upcoming month.
Being a makeup minimalist, I like to stick with just a small handful of makeup items for the whole month.
MAKEUPS:
Guerlain Kiss Kiss Lipstick in Baby – my all time favorite lipstick by Guerlain, gives you baby lookalike lips!
YSL Rouge Pur Couture in 06 – been raving about it for the entire month 
reviewed here and FOTD here
Nars Blush in Luster
Chanel Ombre Essentielle in Fauve
Becca Lost Weekend Eyeshadow Palette (Fall Limited Edition)
Mac Eye Kohl in I get No Kick
Chanel Under Eyes Corrector
Nars Larger Than Life Volumising Mascara – truly exceeded my expectations!
Nars Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base
Stila Convertible Color in Peony
Stila Lip Gloss in Blush – a nudy pink color
SKINCARES:
KIEHLS Epidermal Re-Texturizing Micro-Dermabrasion: It does its job and it’s gentle enough to be used every two days.
My Beauty Diary Sunflower Face Sheet Mask: Long time fan of their masks, this limited edition is beyond amazing! For those of you who aren’t aware, Beauty Diary has recently improved their face sheet – it is a lot thinner and adheres to your face without any air bubbles . I have to stock up more before it is discontinued..
L’OCCITANE Ultra Rich Body Cream in Vineyard Rose: Another limited edition product that was recently released. A very rich body cream that smells like..Heaven. If you love rose and soapy scents, then this is The One! It can’t stop sniffing at it.
HAIRCARES:
TSUBAKI Head Spa Extra Cleasing Shampoo with essential oil: I use this one once a week – it is better than any of the high end clarifying shampoos that I’ve tried.
TSUBAKI Head Spa Massage Mask with essential oil: It’s a treatment for the scalp, feels relaxing and promotes healthy hair growth.
Living Proof Frizz Free Styling Cream: a silicone free product that really works!
KERASTASE Nectar Thermique: a weightless gel that protects my dry hair from heat everyday
KERASTASE Serum Nuit: an overnight treatment I’ve been using every night that renews my hair from looking dull and lifeless
Geez..I am quite high maintenance aren’t I

Thank you Jen! Your blog is my daily Chinese reading hehe
I love all of your picks, especially NARS Luster & the eyeshadow primer base. I may have to try their mascara eventually.
Thanks! Nars hardly let us down isn’ it!
I love your posts.. They’re such a joy to read and just look at ..
I really wanna get the L’occitane Milk Concentrate Lotion.. It smells divine and moisturizes so well
Thank you Delyteful
I love the Milk Series by L’occitaine as well…like you said smells sooo yummy..:-)
Thank you for the post! Just wondering where you buy your masks from? I recently purchased a box of 10 My Scheming masks for $22 at this little store at Sunnybank, I know that’s on the expensive side.. I looked on eBay but it’s still around $17 .
Once again, thank you for the post!
Oh..$22 is overpriced. You can buy My beauty Diary and My scheming masks from sasa.com. It is only about $10 a box..thought it was cheap until I saw $10 for 3 boxes in Taiwan!
Anyways if you are buying the My Beauty Diary Masks, I highly recommend you buy the new ones with an improved formula and face sheets.
Here is the links for you
