January's Monthly Favorites + FOTD

What is a beauty blog without monthly favorites ;)
We, Ladies, can jabber about them non-stop!

Here are the 10 products what made
my January days a little more festive.

1. MAC Cremeblend blush in Brit Wit

Mauve-rosy-beige color (scroll down for a swatch),
pretty-pretty-pretty!

Applies so smoothly, not thick, blends heavenly!

Love it for contouring my cheek bones,
leaves such a pretty sheen, gives a natural flush.
Permanent product, available from MAC counter.

18.50 euro for 0.9 oz. (MAC counter in Kaubamaja)

2. Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream SPF 42 PA+++

If for some reason you never heard about BB Cream,

you just have to!

Here's a good indepth overview of this miracle all-in-one product

My BB is a savior in winter times -
moisturizes instantly, provides medium coverage,|
giving my skin a dewy glow.
This has 5 shades, mine is #21 Light Beige.
Blemishes and under-eye circles need additional coverage.

I now really wanna try non-Korean BBs :)

$5-6.00 (4-5.00 euro) for 20 ml (Ebay)

Favorite Affordable Cosmetics. Episode #1

I dediced to launch new series of beauty posts,

dedicated to affordable make-up brands sold on the Web

Since the beauty products in our stores are ridiculosly overpriced

and the assortment is quite limited

(big sad smiley face here),

beautyholic (like me) has to buy from elsewhere to survive!

So, I've been shopping online since the beginning of 2010

and will start sharing my secrets with you :)

Let me introduce you e.l.f. Cosmetics and Makeup,

(e.l.f. stands for eyes lips face)

US brand launched in New York in 2004 and arrived to UK in 2007

e.l.f make up prices start at £1.50 (around 1.80 euro!) per pcs,

with their mineral and professional lines starting from £3.50
(~ 4.20 eur!) per pcs

Isn't that crazy!?
