It's spring now and I'm living in a hotter climate now so It was time to update what I was using for daily make up. I'm still a natural gal with some different lip products but I feel like I'm really trying to use different things this year. I hope you enjoy this post!
Foundation - Chanel Vita Lumeier Aqua has always been my favorite light foundation for day time. It's nice and sheer but just the right amount of coverage to hide my redness and it can be layered if necessary without looking cakey. Nars sheer glow for night time because it gives such a flawless base. It's creamy and dewey but not too much. Although I have to get it from the UK and even though you have to buy the pump separately which can be annoying, it's so worth the money. I will repurchase this when I need to no doubt! I always get complements when wearing this foundation.
Concealer - I'm really liking a couple of concealers at the moment. For under my eyes it seems to be Nars stick concealer which is doing it for me. It's quite expensive for the amount of product you get but I preferred it to the creamy concealer which everyone raved about. It did nothing for my dark circles. Also I'm loving the Mineralize concealer. I've had a love hate relationship with this product and I think it's because the shade I own is a bit too light for me. But as I'm starting to get a bit of a tan now, it's becoming a beautiful highlighting concealer with good coverage.
Blush - Nars Sex Bomb. Looks really pale in the pallet but once it's on my skin it gives a bronzy look. Weird but I love it. I'm also loving Immortal Flower by MAC. It's another pretty pale pink. Pink is going to be my main colour this Spring/Summer. Both aren't shimmery at all
Mascara - Maybelline The Falsies. 'Nuff said ;) But if you would like to know a few things I like about this product, i'll tell you. For a drug store mascara it's probably one of the best. I have silly eyelashes that don't hold a curl and don't get much length and volume. For me this mascara works best. I've tried many other brands from high end to low end. I also like this when it's a little dry! Seems to work better for me then :)
Powder - Stay matte by Rimmel. It just gets the job done! It doesn't clog my pores, it keeps me matte for a long time and It doesn't add any more product to my face. I find it's a good powder for topping up in the day too in case you need your make up to stay put for a long time.
Lip - I am LOVING Revlon at the moment. Ranging from their lip butters in Candy Apple which is a lovely sheer red. It's the first red lip product I wore to get used to such a bright colour and Peach Parfait a gorgeous glittery pinky/peach coral colour. Then a matte balm in the shade Elusive a matte nudeish pink. It's a beautiful colour with a creamy texture. I really like the formula of these balms. It also doesn't tent to get in the groves of your lips if you forgot to exfoliate them! Also a lacquer balm in the shade Vivacious which is a brighter pink than the others yet still has a lovely texture and feel to it. I also love the minty smell to these balms. I know some people don't but I can't get enough. And finally a lip gloss which I usually don't wear but this gloss from Revlon is so nicely pigmented, the packaging is gorgeous and chic while the product remains one of the best glosses I've ever tried. The one pictured is a orangey coral shade called Kiss Me Coral.
The only product here I have shared is a lipstick from MAC and it's Plink! One of my all time favourites. The palest pink of the lot and it's also pretty sheer because it's a Lustre formulation but it's just so pretty. It also has a really nice smell to it haha.
Eyes - For me lately it's been dewy skin and matte eyes with a little hint of shimmer. So naturally, the Urban Decay Naked Basics pallet is just so beautiful and easy. I can create the smokey eyes I like or even just basic colours. Also for liquid eyeliner I've recently fallen in love with the Rimmel Scandaleyes liquid pen. With ease and control you can make simple lash lines or winged out cat eyes.
Eye Primer - As much as I love Urban Decay primer potion, My eyes have become a bit oily as of late and I had to get something to keep my eye shadows matte and second actually on my eyelids! I heard a lot of good things about the Nars primer so that's what I bought. It's easy to blend and really does keep my eye shadow on and in place.
Bronzer - Finally here's my all time favorite bronzer more commonly known for it's name 'chocolate' because of it's shape. Unfortunately it doesn't smell like chocolate ;). It's actually called Delice de Poudre in the shade 51 by Bourjois. It's matte, subtle but just perfect for my skin tone. It makes it look super healthy and glowey and that's exactly what you need.
Now guys that's it for this post. I hope you like these products and try them out for yourself. Byeeee!
