HOLY *****! My Holy Grails (:

Haha wasn't that title clever? I thought of it yesterday while doing dishes and I laughed at how insanely clever I am. Come on, that's was cute you agree. Up top! No? Alright cool 8)

Holy Grail refers to a beauty product that one finds to be exceptional, wonderful, amazing and perfect to their needs. Of course, all tastes are different so it varies from person to person. Also refers to the Holy Grail in the bible, a scared object used by Jesus during the Last Supper.

Forever HGs


Urban Decay Potion Primer



Yes yes, everyone and their moms already know about and own this product. It's legendary for a good reason. It comes in an adorable yet impractical purple tube with a slanted applicator. The primer makes eyeshadow brighter and stay on like no other. It can even make dollar store shadows last! Once this base is applied, one can rest assured that their eye makeup will remain flawless. Amazing product, can't live without it.



Got2B Guardian Angel



When it comes to styling my hair, I never used any protectant because I didn't see the point. Ever since I started using this, I've noticed that my hair straightens faster, doesn't burn to the touch and left my hair silky. It contains a flowery scent that disappears almost immediately after. It's great and does it's job.



L'Oreal Skin Genesis Cleansing Cloths



One of the problems with using heavy duty makeup like I do is trying to remove it at the end of the night. One a typical day I would be using Revlon CS and waterproof mascara. Nothing I've ever used has been able to get rid of all of it. UNTIL I stumbled across these babies. (: I like that they're cloths because they're portable and I can take my time, much better than hunching over a sink. I don't like the oil/soap duals and I hate cleansing bars so this is nearly perfect for me! Magically removes all my makeup.. it's kinda gross to look at the cloth =P It leaves a lovely perfumed scent behind and leaves my face feeling BABY SMOOTH! Can't stop touching my face after! HG product all the way! =D



Nivea Essential



Best lip balm I have ever used. Moisturizing. Heavenly scent. Non drying. Cute little tube. What more could one want? I fell in LOVE with the scent soon as I opened it and kept taking it out to smell it. I'm not weird, I just adore the fragrance! I can't describe how much I love this little lip balm. I reapply it so often I'm starting to think it has crack in it! My tube is on it's last legs.. need to stock up. If I have any complaints about this product, it's that it tends to get soft in warm weather and the tube will slide down when pressure is applied.



Sally Hansen Commander in Chic

Admitted, I've only worn it for a day but I'm thinking it's on it's way to HG status already. I didn't use it for 3 weeks after I bought it because I didn't like the colour in the bottle. I applied it today for funsies and WOW.. seriously in love with this shade! It's hard to place a name on the colour. It's interchangeable from purple to plum to grey to brown. And honestly, I don't even know myself. Two people thought it was chocolate and one said it was purple. But it looks like a great nail colour for fall, it's a mix between edgy and classy
(: Comes with the weirdest brush ever but it's easy to use after a bit.



OPI Princesses Rule!



The perfect shimmery pink polish. Verrrry sparkly and glowy and quite sheer though it can be built up. Good for french nails but with a glitter twist. Great baby pink polish.. looking for a replica in baby blue! (:



Promising Products


Clean and Clear Pore Refining Toner



Got this GWP so wasn't expecting much at all. It actually does a good job of removing my heavy duty foundation in a few swipes, leaving my skin feeling refreshed and soft. Cannot take off my eye makeup because the fumes make my eye water. Still, it's not a bad product.



M.A.C. Studio Fix Fluid



Yes, I'm the last person who hasn't tried this product yet I know = = I got to try this in stores and really liked how the foundation matched my yellow skin tone. That's something my current one couldn't do perfectly. I like the coverage but I think it tends to fade overtime. Still testing it out, I like it but I'm on the fence about it.



Currently I don't have a HG for the following: moisturizer, lip gloss, lip stick, concealer, mascara and eyeliner. But I'm always on the hunt so feel free to recommend me :D


Thanks for reading!
