April 2015 Beauty Picks! ♥

Hello beautiful people! I haven't blogged about my favorites for a really long time, so I am back! If you are subscribed to my YouTube channel, then you already watched (yes, I am assuming lol) my video about this:


But if you can't understand my native language, which is Tagalog/Filipino, this blog is like a translation for you. Starting of, here's a photo of my favorites that I posted in my Instagram account @eliciaMUA...

First in my favorites list is the BB cream I use almost everyday for a couple of months already. It is a lightweight BB cream that is not too liquidy and not too creamy. For me it is the perfect consistency that is good for both dry and oily skin. The coverage can be sheered out and buildable too. The only thing is that it has only 2 shades available, which do not caters every skin tone.

Next makeup favorite is a powder foundation from Virginia Olsen and my shade is Goddess. I love the shade name! And the shades suits me pretty well. A tiny bit darker but is perfect when I use a lighter foundation. The foundation is buildable and lightweight plus it doesn't irritate my skin when I have allergies on my face.

Another powder is the K-Palette Zero Teka Matt Powder. Not sure of the shade though but this one is more on the translucent side. It just mattifies my face for a longer time than most powders in the market. This one is super light weight. I use this when I don't want to wear any foundation, bb cream or concealer; I just look matte and fresh when I use this.

The next 4 favorites of mine are lipsticks. And yes, I am obsessed with lipsticks!

The first one is a pink lipstick, which is NYX Round Lipstick in Spell Bound. I love this shade of pink and it is very cheap. Totally cheap that I totally forgot about it for a long time but now it's in my favorites. It is creamy and very easy to apply on my lips. But of course there are down sides. First is has an old makeup scent which is bothering me and it is super creamy that it only takes 2 hours or less to get off my lips.

Another pink lipstick on my faves list is MAC Amplified Creme lipstick in Chatterbox. This one a bright pink that doesn't wash my lips out. It's a bit subtle than MAC's Viva Glam Nicki, which is nice. It think it looks fine on me and I've used it for 3 days straight and no one told me I look silly.

The last and the next 2 lipsticks are from the Color Riche collection of L'Oreal. The first one is Pearly Wild Tango, a reddish orange creamy lipstick. It is somewhat a glossy type lipstick (well both of them are) that is very suitable for summer. It doesn't last too long but the stain it leaves is amazing. It looks like I just drank strawberry juice, which is very summer appropriate.

The last one is a subtle purple lipstick, which is Rose Bud. I love purple lipsticks and this one made me rock one every single day. It's not long lasting either but the stain looks like just bitten. The stain is magenta and it's good for people who doesn't want purple lipsticks.
