My everyday makeup

 Hey!

I just want to share my recent everyday makeup routine :)

 The first, I never use a foundation as I simply don’t like the feeling of it on my skin. So I go straight to concealers. I use two: Maybelline DreamLumi Touch Highlighting Concealer in the shade 01 Ivory for under my eyes area and I use Catrice Camouflage Cream  in the shade 010 Ivory. I use two because the second one has a high coverage and it’s too heavy for under eyes area and the first one has too light coverage to cover any pimples :) So I firstly I use Maybelline concealer to hide my dark circles and then go ahead with the Catrice one to hide any imperfections all over my face.

Then I set it with Bourjois Healthy Balance Powder in the shade 52 Vanilla. It says “10hrs Matt Finish & Natural Healthy Glow”. I’ll say that it can stay for even longer as most of the days I do my makeup in the morning and gat home only late in the evening so it’s like 12+ hours of wearing makeup and in the end of the day I still don’t get that shinny face as I usually have. So this is one of my favourite powders I’ve ever used :)

 Then I move to my eyes area. I use Maybelline BrowSatin in the shade Dark Blonde. I was such an idiot when I bought it in this shade.. It’s too yellowy for my eyebrows but I like the pencil and that weird sponge end that I use it nevertheless. I just quickly fill my eyebrows in and brush them through with a spoolie.

For a base colour I use my favourite Maybelline Color Tattoo 24 hours in the shade 91 Crème de Rose. I just apply it with my finger all over the eyelid and that’s all :)

Then I use Rimmel Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal in the shade 003 Brown. It’s been in my makeup bag for sooooo lond because I never used it for some reason. Now I use it more and more to line my upper lash line. I don’t do any flick as I have vey watering eyes especially when the air is dry and It is dry so I’ll just end up with smudged flicks…

And to finish my eyes I curl my lashes and apply Maybelline(too much Maybelline in this post, hah) The Falsies Push Up Drama Mascara. It’s nice but a little bit watery. I bought it recently so can’t say much. I just like it so far, not too much but do.

 When it comes to lips, I like to scrub them in the morning with Lush The Kiss Lip Scrub. It’s from their St.Valentine’s Day collection. It’s very first time I tried lip scrubs in my life and I really enjoy using it. After the scrub I apply some sort of lip balm. Now I use Nivea Coconut Lip Butter. It’s sooo nice and soft.. And the scent…mmm.. Love it :)

I usually apply any kind of lipstick only right before I leave the house and it can be different. Sometimes I even forget to apply anything at all :)

Then I finish my face with Divage Velvet Blush in the shade #8703. It’s a nice rosy peach shade which I love for spring/summer time. It’s pretty pigmented so I need to be very careful with it or I’ll look like a clown :)

And I started falling into highlighters. I have only one in my Sleek Face Form Palette in the shade Light 373. It’s a very nice and settle highlighter which looks very pretty on cheekbones :)

And that’s it!

Hope you like it :)

Tell my about your everyday makeup routines, I would love to know!

Ciao!

Current Favourites March 2016

I earned some money so I spent some money :) of course I bought some make up and so I tried some new stuff and so I have some new favourites I want to share. 

The first one I love is my Maybelline Nude Palette. Oh I love it! The only downside is that the shades that seem to be matte still have some glitter in them. Well, I have another palette with matte shades I need :) the most important thing is that I use it every single day since I got it because I love it :)

The newest thing in this post is Lush Lip Scrub in The Kiss. It’s from Valentine’s day collection. I’d never used a lip scrub before but I actually really like it! One annoying thing about this particular one is the little hearts. I just don’t understand what’s the purpose But the whole product is great!

The mascara I like a lot is Maybelline Lash Sensational. A lot of people talk about it online. I didn’t want to buy it for some reason and bought it only because it was on sale. I  didn’t regret at all :) It gives volume and length and my lashes look nice with it. And it’s the most important, right?

I also started using make up primer. And Russia is soooo late to the party... We got Maybelline Baby Skin Primer only couple months ago. Now I use it all the time :) It gives very nice base for the make up but you shouldn’t apply too much.  

The other product from Maybelline is Color Tattoo Creme Eyeshadow in Creme de Rose. We didn't get a matte collection for a long time and finally I start to notice them in stores and bought a nude pink shade as a base color. I like when the eyelid is light and I can apply any other color and it will stand up a little bit more. Again, I use it every single day since I got it :)

That's  I guess enough of beauty for now :)

So I hope you're going fine :)

Ciao!

Empties Summer 2014

Hi, humans!

I don't know about you but I love watching posts and videos about products people have used up. Only ib this case you can know the real opinion about products.

I'm this kind of people who doesn't throw away things they don't like that much. So I have some products I really enjoyed using and some I didn't. Let's begin :)

Let's start with face care products. I don't have much because I often forget to save empty bottles... 

So, the first it's Nivea Cleanser. I love Nivea so much but this product disappointed me so much... I didn't notice any difference using it.. It doesn't wash off the rest of a make up, it doesn't clear pores, I don't even know what it does.... So, I don't recommend that.

Next it's Nivea moistryzer. This stuff is soooooo moisturizing, even way too much. It takes ages to wait until it's finally dry and you can apply your make up. But for night it's really good to repair your skin after sun or make up or any other bad things that can spoil your skin. It depends on what you desire to have. Just keep in mind it's veeeeeery moisturizing, like really, veeeery moisturizing :)

Then, you see two packs of the same moisturizer by Yves Rocher. The first I bought only because of the sticker on top, it's so nice and a little bit vintage. But the cream by itself is not that nice. Like the Nivea one it takes ages to wait until it's dry but it doesn't moisturise that much. I don't understand what's happening but I keep getting disappointed by my favourite brands. I really like Yves Rocher but lately it doen't impress me that much... The second pack I got from my mum on New Year.

Now let's talk about other skin care products.

The first it's Planeta Organica Organic Oblepikha Body Cream. The first I want to mention that before it I haven't used any body creams ot lotions. But this one changed my mind! It's sooooooooo good, the smell is amazing! And it makes my skin so soft. Plus it's organic and I'm a little obsessed with organic skin care products. I'm not sure but I believe it's russian brand that makes me fell a little bit proud :)

Then I have two Yves Rocher creams(my mum gave me a big kit of different Yves Rocher products): hand and foot creams. And it looks weird, I know, but I cat some cream tubes to get the most of the products. I really loved the hand cream! It's really nice, the smell is good, the consistence is pleasant for skin. My hands feel much better and softer :) The foot cream is nice but that's all. Not that impressive. I saw the price for this little tube and I was a little suprised that it's rather expensive but it doesn't worth it, I think. And it's tiny. That's not that convenient.

And the last here it's Nivea Deoderent Powder Effect. The first time I applied it I was a little bit confused by the smell(yes, I talk way too much about smells ans scents :). I felt like I applied some kind of baby powder and I smelled it so strongly, I thought that everybody could smelled it too. But then I got used to it and ended up liking it. It protects from sweating quite well, I have a huge problem with it, very few deodorants help mt but this one does.

Now, hair care. I have only one product I wanted to share with you. It's a Repair Conditioner by Yves Rocher. And Oh My God! That's my love till the rest of my life. I will repurchase it over and over again untill it's in stock. This is a miracle for my hair! They never felt that soft before. Don't even know what to add... Just the best hair product I know so far :)

Time for some make up :)

I've already thrown away the package and I don't remember the exact name of my tone, but it's a MaXfactor Cream Puff powder in shade №41 something beige :) It was the second or the third powder I've ever owned and it's pretty nice. It has a good coverage but rather strong smell... I don't know why.. It's nice but a little bit annoying. I can't say much actually because I started getting into make up only couple months ago and this had been already used up. I remember that it was pretty cheap compare to other MaXfactor's powders. For that money it's a very nice powder.

Mascara time! I'm a little bit crazy about mascaras... As you can see I have three empty bottles :) Let's talk about each one :)

The first it's Bourjois Volume Glamour Max. What can I say... I like the brush, I actually love exactly this type of brushes. But in this case it's not the best... I was disappointed by this mascara... Bourjois is one of the most expensivedrugstore btands and I decided to check out at least their mascara and I'm honestly not sure if I want to try any of its produsts because recentlu I've read a lot of bad reviews about their products. Don't mean that it is a very bad brand but I didn't like that mascara, that's the main over here.

Next it's Rimmel Scandal Eyes Lycra Flex. And I'm in love with it! Rimmel is one of the cheapest drugstore brands and this mascara was one of the heapest in the whole shop and it's one the best I've ever tried. The brush is amazing, it gives a good length, good volume, it separates really nicely. Just everything you need from mascara. Want to buy it again after I use up my current mascara.

The last here is L'Oreal False Lash Papillon. I heard so many good reviews about this mascara and can you imagine how upset I was when it turned out to be one of the worst mascara I've ever tried? Really, why do people compliment it so much? I can't get it. I didn't gat any length, any volume, any separation. My lashes looked so weird after applying it. I didn't expect it. L'Oreal is a quite nice brand, as you know, I love their eyeliner, but this mascara wasn't good for me. Unfortunately.

I guess I've mentioned it in my L'Oreal's eyeliner Review. I used up at least three of them. And it's not because I'm so in love with but because I couldn't find better.And it really annoyed me so much. It's a nice eyeliner but the very end of the applicator dries so fast. I can use it for month or something like this and no more. Then it gets really hard to apply it normally even though there are so much more product inside and it just pisses me off! But in the same time when it's new it's such a nice eyeliner, cheaper then L'Oreal one but still good. I don't have a common opinion about this product.. It's love/hate relationship between this eyeliner and me :)

So that's all I've saved so far :) Hope you enloyed such a long reading :) I don't usually write that much bit I had some inspiration.

Have a nice day :)

Ciao!

June favourites 2014

Yeah, this month I actually can do a month favourites post because I have something to show you :) So this is what I liked during the whole month.

Yes, I take photos on my windowsill if you haven't noticed, and you can see my terrifying radiator :)

So, the first thing it's one of the Bath&BodyWorks candles that I bought for myself for my birthday. This one is "Island Margarita" and it smells so good!(I actually took this photos a little bit earlier, before I burnt like a half of it) It's really great for summer. And again, B&BW candles are really good although they are not that cheap...

I guess it's kinda a trend to wear white nail polish right now, I saw so many youtubers wearing them(I don't watch just random people on the street, always in my thoughts :) And it was rather hard to find a little bottle of this because I wasn't sure if I liked it, but I did. Now I wear it very often, actually half of the time... I wear this one, then I change a color, but then I go back to this one, then I apply another, then again this and so on. I think it's gonna be my favourite nail polish of the whole summer :)

I'm soooooo happy that they're finally available in Russia! I wanted them so bad for such a long time and now I've finally got them! I picked up these two shades: "Pink Punch" and "Cherry me", one is pink, one is a little bit more redish. I love the fact that they moisturize your lips and in the same time give them a color, not that much but perfect for everyday. Right now I have only one lip balm, I wrote about it here and obviously it's not very handy to have it in your purse and reapply it during the day, so this is a great alternative :)

I want to make a review post about it but want to mention it here too. It's the perfect liquid eye liner for me. I tried about 4 different liner and this one is the best! I highly recommend it to everybody :)

I bought this iPhone cover here for only 2$ and I'm so happy with it! I didn't really expect a nice quality from this shop, I just wanted to change the cover for summer time, and I ended up loving it! The sides are so nice, the picture is bright like on the photo. One minus - the smell. It smells like very cheap Chine product(as it is, actually), but right now it's much better, I almost don't smell it anymore. So, it's a good cheap purchase ;)

And of course Ed Sheeran's new album "Multiply"/"X". As always, perfection. Just can't say anything else. If you still, for some mystical reasons, haven't heard it, go and do it right now! Just turn off the lights, turn on this amazing music, close your eyes and listen. Listen to the melody, listen to his incredible voice, listen to these magnificent lyrics, just sink(is this a right word?) in these melodies

That's it! What were your favourites this month? 

Have a nice day :)

Ciao!

Drugstore foundation: do I have any problems with my skin or how hard to find a good foundation.

I'm this kind of girl who won't spend a tone of money on make up. But anyway, I like make up. So today I'd like to tell you about a foundation problem. I was trying to find a good new foundation for about 3 years, I guess. The first foundation I've ever tried was Maybelline Affinitone and it was great. Then I bought another pack of the same foundation, but it wasn't good. I decided to find smth new. Here're my last attempts(which I don't know why decided to save):

1. Maxfactor Smooth Effect in shade #55 Buff Beige

2. L'Oreal Alliance Perfect in shade #R3-C3 Rose Beige

3. Rimmel Stay Matte in shade #100 Ivory

4. Garnier BB Cream in shade "Light"

5. Maybelline BB Cream in shade "Light"

1. Maxfactor's foundation is old(I bought it without checking the date), so it's dry, looks and feels terrible on my skin, although the shade is pretty good for my complection. Unfortunately, no.

2. L'oreal's foundation is the best that I have right now. I heard about it on youtube and the girl said that it's pretty close to Bobbi Brown's one, so I went straight to the shop and bought it. I don't know if it's really close to Boobi Brown's one, but it works for me very well. Definitely yes.

3. Rimmel's foundation was good for some time, but then I didn't use any foundation for a month and when I tried this one on my face it looked aweful. I don't know what's happened to my skin, but it became dry, I had even some redness after applying it. After that I haven't use any of Rimmel's products for some time, but now I like this brand. But for foundations, no.

4-5. I definitely don't understand people who love BB creams. Or I have a weird type of skin that doesn't like such things, but I don't see any difference between when I apply BB creams and when I have nothing on my face. I tried these two several times, thinking that something can change, but no. It doesn't work for me. No.

I hope it can be useful for someone. Also, I'm always open for any suggestions :)

Have a good day :)
