Hello guys,
sorry it took me so long for my next post. I have been working a lot the last week and mostly in the afternoon and evenings; so when I got home I was super tired and went to bed almost immediately, so I couldn't make time for the blog - Sorry!
But today was my free day so I decided to talk to you about my daily go-to's when it comes to make-up, basically the things I couldn't ever live without. A few weeks back you already got to know some of the stuff in my winter necessities post where I told you about my season-specific favourites. Some of those have actually been in my collection for quite a bit and have been re-buyed a lot - but since I'm quite curious and experimental when it comes to new products I tend to change my favourites pretty fast.
Last week I had a free afternoon and had some time to stroll around the town and check my favourite perfume shops and cosmetics departements and got some new products I'd love to show you. Basically this post is all about the familiar and dearly loved and the new and exiting - the two things you shouldn't miss in your life (wow, from make up to life lessons.. that was unexpected!)
| Sleek MakeUP i-Divine au naturel Palette - Catrice Calligraph Ultra Slim Eyeliner Pen - one ginger morning bodymilk - MAC Studio Fix Fluid NC15 |
The second item I wouldn't want to miss is my Ultra Slim Eyeliner Pen by Catrice. This thing is magic. It's the thinnest and most easy to use eyeliner pen I've ever had. I'm quite the loser when it comes to eyeliner (liquid ones make me want to cry) so I've been looking for a good one and finally found this gem. It stays perfectly fine for the whole day, is super easy to apply and doesn't smear or gets stuck in the eyelashes. To cut a long story short: I'm as keen as mustard and will definitely rebuy this pen even for a third time.
Time to talk about my newly purchased gems! The first one is the Sleek MakeUp Palette in au naturel. As you can see, I've been using this a lot since I got it - which was only two weeks ago. The colors are strictly nude except for the super matte black shade to define your eye shape or create a smokey eye look. The shades are almost all matte, except for two shiney ones (but I actually don't like those shades very much). I've mostly been using the first very bright white shade called Nougat and the two darker shades Bark and Regal. The matte black Noir has only been used twice for when I was out and about in the city at night, but I've been loving it since it's really rich and well covering.
The last thing I got is actually my favourite. I've always wanted to own a mac foundation since I have only heard good things about them. I bought a clinique foundation this year in summer which was super expensive and isn't even my skin tone anymore so it looks super weird - it was time to get a new one! When I saw that the MAC Studio Fix Fluid was at a reasonable price I just went for it and got one. After talking to the shop assistant she picked out the perfect nuance for me and I've been using this foundation basically everyday since I got it. It's smooth, doesn't dry (at least not if you have more of an oily skin or remember to moisturize your face on a daily basis) and covers perfectly without looking cakey or fake. Now I know why everyone has been raving about mac - they really are as good. So if you're ever unsure about what foundation to pick and have a little more money saved up than you need for regular drugstore alternatives - try and give them a chance, those babies are magic.
