NOVEMBER FAVORITES!!! (2011)


Hi everyone! So, I'm back with my monthly favorites, although I'm not sure if I can really do this every month. Anyway, I just want to share with you my favorites for this month of November.


1. PURE BEAUTY PERFECT CLEANSING WATER


Actually, this has been my favorite since September, this was also included in my September favorites but I just want to include this again in this month's list because I just found out another way on how to use this product. I thought, since this is a makeup remover, maybe I can use this in cleaning out my makeup brushes and it works perfectly! Before when I wash my makeup brushes, I take a lot of time just to get rid of the products from the brushes but this cleansing water saves a lot of time and energy as well. What I do is, I soak my brushes first on the cleansing water and you can really see that the excess makeups are really being removed out from the brushes. They really separate. It's amazing because I get to save my Alcogel hand soap which I use for cleaning out my brushes and you also get to conserve water! :)











2. REXONA WOMENS NATURAL BIOPROTECTION ANTI-PERSPIRANT DEODORANT


I love the fact that it's a deo spray. I don't know why but I'm just more into deo sprays than the roll-ons. :D The best thing that I love about this is its scent. It smells like aloe vera or something. Anyway, I really love the its scent because it just smells super fresh.














3. ST.IVES BODY POLISH MINERAL THERAPY


This body polish is actually one of my first St. Ives' products, the other one is the Apricot scrub which I haven't really used yet. I looooove using this everytime I'm in the shower because I love the smell of this. It's like coconut and shea butter. I cannot really describe the scent but I love it, it's like really therapeutic. I don't know if it's a psychological effect but that's just how it is for me. This is an exfoliating body polish and I adore it because it really leaves my skin feeling soft, smooth, and really clean. It has sugar crystals which act as the exfoliant. Another thing is that, the scent really stays on your skin even after taking a bath. But if you are sensitive to fragrances, then I guess it's not a good thing for you.



4. KUSTIE 100% NATURAL EXTRACT PAPAYA BODY BUTTER

I wouldn't have the chance to try this product out if I didn't buy the large Kustie Papaya Facial Scrub Jam. I bought the small tube of the facial scrub before and I fell in love with it so I decided to buy the larger tube. When I bought it, it came with this body butter so this is like a free item. I actually love it because the scent is not too overwhelming for me and it really moisturizes my skin. It's not like any other body butters or lotions that are just too greasy and icky, this is just okay. It's like a moisturizer for my body, it's kinda hydrating.





5. ESKINOL OIL CONTROL DERMA CLEAR C FACIAL CLEANSER PIMPLE FIGHTING


I love the fact that this is a facial cleanser and a toner in one. It's also pimple fighting and controls oil so that's really awesome. Plus, it's very affordable. I got mine for PHP 43 at 7-11 so maybe it'll cost lesser in groceries, supermarkets, department stores, or other drugstores since 7-11 prices their items like gold mines! Anyway, I really love this because this is the one who got me through during my lazy nights. LOL! Whenever I'm too lazy to wash my face after a long day and I just want to go straight to sleep, I will remove my makeup, first (if I'm wearing any) using my makeup remover then I will just use this Eskinol facial cleanser to clean my face and my neck. It's really awesome because it really cleanse my face without that icky feeling, if you know what I mean.













6. E.L.F. STIPPLE BRUSH

At first, I was skeptic to use this because I thought it's just too flimsy and not that densed unlike the other stippling brush that I've seen. But when I gave it a try, I was actually surprised that it does a good job. It gives you that smooth and flawless finish of foundation. This is my first ever stippling brush, thanks to Miss Hollie of Random Beauty by Hollie because she sent this to me as part of my prizes when I won her giveaway. :)




7. VICTORIA'S SECRET METALLIC EYES PALETTE


This palette is really meant for day to night eye makeup looks and I must say that it's really great for day to night. This was actually given to me by my best friend as a birthday gift, so thanks to her! This is also perfect for travelling. Watch out for my review about this one.


















8. 4U2 DREAM GIRL REFLECTIONS EYE SHADOW QUATTRO


Another palette that I've learned to love this month is this Dream Girl Reflections Eye Shadow Quattro by 4u2. I just love the shades, they are all neutral shades so it's perfect for the current season. It's also very handy because the palette is really small, so this is great for travelling as well.








9. ELLANA MINERALS DIVA COPPER BRONZE LIP/CHEEK DOT


I make sure that this one right here never leaves my makeup kit. I just love this so much, it gives you that subtle glow and it's very convenient to use. It's super tiny but I love it. It also has a matte finish so no need to set it with anything and it stays on for long hours. Plus, it's mineral so that's really awesome. I use this for everyday makeup looks and it's just perfect. I usually apply it along my cheek bones. I kinda like using this as a highlighter as well.








10. NICHIDO MINERAL SPOT CONCEALER

I don't actually use this to conceal unwanted spots on my face. I mainly use this to highlight my brow bones and define my eyebrows more. It's a pencil so it's very convenient to use. I tried using it to conceal my blemishes once but the color didn't match my skin color so it sucked. But I guess if the shade matched my skin color, it'd work just fine.








11. NYX EYE/EYEBROW PENCIL IN DARK BROWN

This eyebrow pencil is one of my two favorite eyebrow pencils, the other one is the Precision Blender by Ever Bilena. This shade is actually darker but I'm kinda into dark-colored eyebrows so, I love this. It's almost the same as the precision blender except that the precision blender is creamier. This pencil almost has a matte finish.




12. MAYBELLINE EXPERTWEAR BLUSH IN ROMANTIC PLUM

I love this because it's great for everyday use. I got this for only 200 Pesos from 168 mall. It's sort of like a mauvey shade.

















13. MAYBELLINE theCOLOSSAL VOLUM'EXPRESS MASCARA in GLAM BLACK

I must say that I fell in love with this mascara because of it's packaging. It's just the same as theMagnum but when I found this at 168 mall, I just gotta have it. I just have to!




14. FANCY PINK LEOPARD PRINT COIN PURSE


I got this for only PHP 50 and I adore it so much because it is so chic! I also like the fact that it can hold a lot of coins unlike other coin purses which can even barely store 10 pieces of coins!













15. MONTEGO BAY CLUB SLIPPERS

I love these slippers mainly because of the fact that they're my size! I rarely find girly slippers like this one that's why I was so excited when I found these awesome chic slippers in Payless at Paseo, Sta.Rosa. If you're wondering, the size of my feet is 11-11.5! ;-)








16. THE LUCKY ONES (FILM)

I recently watched Nikkie of Nikkietutorials Favorites video and there she featured her favorite movie for this month and I thought, "Why didn't I think of that?"! I mean, why didn't it occur to me to feature my favorite films or songs in my favorites list every month? So now, I'm going to share with you my latest favorite movie which is The Lucky Ones. This was actually released last 2008 but I just watched it this November. The story is about three soldiers who were sent home because the were injured. Funny thing is that, they didn't get their injuries during a war or fights but they got it from some totally random, stupid reasons. I am not going to tell the whole story here so, if you're interested, go ahead and watch it. :D Actually, the reason why I watched this is because of Rachel McAdams. I love her so much that's why when I found out that she's in the movie, I immediately downloaded the film.






So, that's it for my favorites for this month! I hope you enjoyed reading. If you have any questions, you can just leave a comment in the comment box.

  3. Ooooh, so cute namana the coin purse! Where'd you get it? And I wanna try that ELF Stippling brush. They're inexpensive and I have been hearing good stuff about it. My stippling brush is waaay expensive kasi I though they're supposed to be really expensive talaga. Hehe. Oh and I'm glad the Dreamgirl eyeshadow worked on you. I bought two of their eyeshadows, but not palette, and hindi masyadong maganda pigmentation and chalky pa... xP
