It’s been a long time since I’ve done one of these“favorites” posts where I’ve just rounded up some of my most-used products from the past couple of months and raved about exactly why I love them so much. And I’ve definitely missed doing that. So, without any further ado, here are a couple of my favorite products and yes, they’re amazing. And beautiful. And you need them all. Just sayin’.
Guerlain La Petite Robe Noire Color’Ink #L112 No Filter ($32USD/$34CAD)
There’s going to be a lot of Guerlain makeup featured in this post today but it’s only because I love Guerlain that freakin’ much. Definitely one of my top three makeup brands fo’sho (are the cool kids still saying that? Probably not).This Color’Ink is Guerlain’s version of a liquid lipstick but it’s so much more than that. It’s a cross between a gloss, a liquid lipstick and a lip stain. A 3-in-1 product?! Y’all know I love that. It comes in a wide range of gorgeous colours but this nudey coral is definitely a Taylor shade. It’s so pretty. My only complaint is that while these Color’Inks last for a long time on the lips, they have this peculiar super sticky texture for the first half hour you are wearing it. It feels like you just superglued your lips. It’s interesting to say the least but it really does look gorgeous on the lips.
Urban Decay Space Powder ($17USD/$15CAD)
A few months ago I started to realize I really don’t have many highlighters in my collection. I usually just stick to a select two shades (the Estee Lauder Bronzed Goddess Gelee(review here)and the Dior Glowing Gardens one), but lately I have just been really feeling the need to switch it up a lil’. When I saw that Urban Decay had come out with a super cute travel sized highlighter in their Christmas collection this year, I knew I had to have it. I absolutely love that it’s miniature because I will never ever use up a highlighter (let alone anything else in my extensive makeup collection) so the size (and price point) was perfect for me. Plus it’s the most beautiful shade. It’s a light yellow-y champagne with superfine gold glitter. It’s definitely a lot more glittery than my other shimmery highlighters but that’s what I love about it. I can’t wait to wear this all over my body on New Year’s Eve this year!
Guerlain Rouge G Lipstick ($32USD/$35CAD)& Holiday Case ($17USD/$20CAD)
Guerlain recently revamped their pricey Rouge G lipsticks and made them (surprisingly) less pricey and more fun. So now, instead of buying just a normal lipstick in a boring old case, you can now buy the lipstick and the case seperately. Guerlain has a bunch of different shades (I think around 30 in total) and 15 different cases in the most beautiful prints and designs! For my shade, I picked #06 which is a very neutral, everyday rosey pink but the case is where I really got to have fun. For the holidays this year, Guerlain released a limited edition gold pebbled case that is absolutely stunning. I always like limited edition things more so this really helped me make up my mind on which case to get!
Guerlain Holiday Meteorites Electric Pearls ($65USD/$81CAD)
Speaking of limited edition things, I also absolutely love the limited edition Meteorites that Guerlain releases every single year around Christmas. I have the original meteorites and for those of you who aren’t familiar with them, they’re essentially these handcrafted (AKA shaped by hand) powder pearls in different shades that create a flawless, blurred finish on the skin with the perfect amount of luminosity. They are quite the bougie makeup item but nothing makes me feel happier than applying these every morning and smelling that sweet, signature Guerlain scent. Mmmm. Plus, the packaging is gorgeous. And you already know I’m a sucker for packaging.
Replica Lazy Sunday Morning ($126USD/$155CAD)
I have this special place in my heart for Replica perfumes. They are designed to evoke a special memory or emotion from deep down inside you instead of just being yet another floral scented fragrance. I’ve tried the Replica By the Fireplace perfume before as well as the infamous Lipstick On perfume and I’ve fallen in love with them. Both are unlike anything I’ve ever smelled before. The Lazy Sunday Morning isn’t as unique but it’s definitely something different from what I’ve owned in the past. It’s the lightest, freshest scent and it’s the perfect perfume to wear when I’m not getting all fancied up. I tend to wear very sweet, heavy scents that don’t exactly match a hoodie and sweatpants kind of outfit. Now I don’t wear that kind of outfit very often but when I do, the Lazy Sunday Morning perfume is the perfect scent to compliment it. It is described as smelling like soft skin and bed linen so really, what’s better than that?
Dior Ultra Rouge #485 Ultra Lust ($37USD/$43CAD)
I have so many Dior lipsticks but they will forever continue to surprise me with all their new launches and how I continue to love each and every addition to their product line. These are the brand new Ultra Rouge lipsticks and at first, I was a little confused how they differ from the normal Dior Rouge lipsticks. But essentially, they’re even more pigmented than the originals with a 12-hour wear and a satin, almost matte finish. And even though they tend to be more of a matte finish, they are still super hydrating and comfortable and I don’t find they dry out my lips any more than the average lipstick which is definitely a good thing in my books. The shade, #485 Ultra Lust, is, like any other shade I own, a rosey neutral. Surprise there. It’s described as a warm rosewood which basically just means it’s going to be yet another everyday lipstick for me, but I’m definitely not complaining!
