Recent purchases and favorites:

Nars Roman Holiday Lipstick. This is a nice sheer finish you can easily apply. Strangely, as much as I love Nars as a cosmetic brand, this was my first lipstick from the line, and I am excited to try more. The consistency is brilliant. It is different from the luster from mac, it is more moisturizing but not too glossy looking. Love.
Some of my favorites now:
-YSL Rouge Volutpe Pearl 102: This is a very pearlescent peach with gold veil. It is not the easiest color to wear, but if you want to brighten up your complexion with a bit of shimmer. Make sure your lips are well-moisturized, to make it go on seamlessly. It tends to be slightly drying and too glittery, but I love the color. A DIVA color with high maintenance, I would call it.

-NARS Sheer Glow Deauxville: I love this foundation. Very easy to blend, and I use a Q-tip to dispense it out. The shade selection was perfect for me, and I think the NARS Primer (multi-protection) works beautifully well to make it very nice and long-lasting. I have slept with it on and it looks good in the morning. A true verdict that no one should ever do.

-ARCONA Magic White Ice: Beautiful serum/ moisturizer depending on your skin type. I use it in the morning, and it has the most beautiful berry scent and it prevents acne with Antibacterial Totara, making this a perfect moisturizer for everyday uses if you are acne prone or oily.

-Chanel Tweed Rose: Chanel blushes are my all time favorite blushes. I always tend to apply too much, but hardness of the Chanel blushes make it easy for me to apply just the right amount and it is such easy pigment to blend around.
