December 2014 Favorites





Hey guys! I hope you guys had a Merry Christmas and for those of you who don't celebrate Christmas, I hope are enjoying the holidays! So today I wanted to share with you my December Favorites. I initially wasn't planning on doing a December Favorites, but I've been really enjoying these two products that I wanted to share with you (and yes, even if it is only two products!) I also am not planning on mentioning it in my 2014 Favorites (which will up be within the next week or so) mainly because... I've only had them for the last couple of weeks in December! As such, I decided on doing a December Favorites!



I was wearing the Nars Sheer Glow Foundation in my most recent empties video

For years I have heard many beauty gurus rave about Nars Sheer Glow Foundation (Tanya Burr being the main person who got me intrigued). However, it wasn't until recently when I discovered Michelle Nwin on Youtube that I thought this foundation could work on my oily skin. She lives in Texas (similar hot and humid climates) and we also have the same skintypes, so I figured I should give this a try since I did have a Sephora Giftcard. I am in the shade Punjab (and yes, I did fork over the extra money for the Nars pump...even though it hurt me to do so ;_;). Let me just tell you that the name of this foundation is quite deceiving, I don't find it to be Sheer or Glowy. It does give a nice natural finish on my skin and gives it a very nice healthy appearance. This foundation isn't as luminous as the Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum Foundation and it holds up a lot better then that foundation. Stay tuned for a review of both of these foundations soonish!



And lastly, I have another product from Nars that have been my favorites for the past month. It is the Nars Audacious Lipsticks in Audrey. This lipstick shade is absolutely stunning! It is a perfect Fall and Winter lipstick shade! While I'm not completely 100% sold on the formula (mainly because it can be a tad bit drying after a couple of hours and doesn't apply as smooth as Bite Beauty lipsticks when my lips are dry), I have been rocking this shade almost every day since I purchased this lipstick! To combat the dryness of this lipstick, I just apply a rose gold lipgloss on top!

What were your favorites this December? Let me know in the comment section below!

  2. It's so interesting that the sheer glow foundation works for oily skin too! The words "sheer" and "glow" sound kind of like a nightmare for oily skin, but I keep hearing people rave about it! Maybe I'll give it a try soon

  4. Its honestly really good! I'm hoping to have a review of this up sometime in January so my readers can see how this works on me! So far, I think it works better than the Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum Foundation >.> But with this price tag I definitely feel obligated to let you guys know my review! :)

  5. OMG that foundation looks amazing on you!!!! I think in the future I would consider going to the counter and swatch both the sheer glow and sheer matte....I would love to see if either one has a texture and finish I like...I gotta go slow before getting one as their really pricey here! Your make up was fantastic Pauline!!! I love LOVE that purple eye!

  7. Definitely get samples and swatch it out to see how it works on your skin Sharlynn! I didn't see very good reviews on Sheer Matte, thats why I picked up Sheer Glow! But yes, its very pricey so you definitely need to make sure it works ^_^ Glad you like the look :) I used the Stila In the Moment Palette, been loving that one ^_^

  10. You look soooo beautiful Pauline! <3

    Ahh the Sheer Glow is in my Dec faves too haha, totally agree the name is deceiving and whilst I'm normally one for more of a dewy look, this is my go to for when I want as flawless yet as natural looking skin as possible,especially on special occasions where I wanna avoid da cake face haha. Still need to buy the pump though >_<

  15. Lol twinsies! This foundation looks so natural and yet makes the skin SO flawless! No regrets in purchasing this foundation whatsoever! Its SO good and looks so good on the skin! I hate how I have to buy the pump separately, but its worth it! You save so much product when you do so!
