Things I wanna buy! Do you have any of them?

Hey guys! I have a really long shopping list of things I want to buy but haven't gotten down to buying. Some of them are really fun and if you guys know more about them than I do, do share! Also, please comment on the products if you have them so we can all know your thoughts on them :)

Tarte Amazonian Clay 12 Hour Blush

Available at Sephora.com

I heard about this from Tiffany D on YouTube and it really seems to be a wonder product. It comes in 8 colours from pinks to browns and purples. Tarte's products are all eco friendly and cruelty free and was founded by Maureen Kelly a couple of years ago. I have a problem with blushes, they don't stay on me for very long, which is probably because I live in a really humid climate and things just don't stay on. This blush, which is made of all organic materials, claims to be a 12 hour blush. I've read reviews about it and everyone who's used it seems to be satisfied with its performance. I don't think Sephora in Singapore carries it but you can get it at Sephora.com. I'm gonna get it and try it out and let you know what I think! 

Chanel Soleil Tan de Chanel

Available at all Chanel stores

I think I'm going into a must have bronzer/contour powder phase. I feel like I haven't been in the sun a lot and that I look really dull even with blush and highlight on. I've never always used bronzer but I'm dying to try this. It's actually a makeup base so you can wear it on it's own or on top of your foundation. It's a cream product so make sure you use it over something cream or liquid. You can't apply this over powder because it's going to be patchy. Tip! Cream blushes/bronzers/highlights should always go on top of cream or liquid foundations, not over powder ones. If you need a powder over to control shine, I suggest a translucent powder like the MAC Prep + Prime Transparent Finishing Powder with a large fluffy brush. I like the idea of a cream product cause you can really blend it and after the product settles on your skin, it'll give a really nice dewy glow. It's spring, so don't matte yourself down! It's the perfect time to take out the highlights and bronzers. This would work best with a MAC 109 type brush or a duo-fibre brush.

MAC Pearl Cream Colour Base

Available at all MAC stores

Ooooh I really want this. It's a cream highlight in an off white, pearl colour. It's great for as a cheek highlight, browbone highlight or even as an eyeshadow (but I'd recommend an eye primer first if you're gonna use it as an eyeshadow). I like this because it catches the light well and it's a very universal colour. I've read that there are certain shades of highlight that suit certain skin tones better. If you have an olive undertone, you should lean towards the peach tones. If you have pink undertones, you should lean towards the cooler coloured highlights. I think this is great for any skin tone, light and dark. Just use it with your fingers, above your blush, and blend it out. Very pretty.

Origins GinZing Eye Cream

Available at all Origins stores

My eye cream is about to finish and I've heard raves about this product. Origins doesn't seem to be as big in Singapore as it is in the States. Which is a shame because I think the products seem very promising. This product is targeted for busy people who don't get enough hours of sleep, so it reduces eye bags,  puffiness and perks up your eyes in the morning. It's more of a day cream than a night cream but I'm sure it would work well both ways.

So these are stuff I've heard a lot about and would love to try! The list goes on but if I post everything I won't be done for 3 days. Let me know what you guys think!

Have a great weekend :)

Love, Tasha
