This months has been really boring when it comes to makeup and my skin was acting up so I got back to some of the basics that I know work for me. I feel like these favorites are just going to become increasingly more boring and short, because I don't really have time to experiment as much with my makeup as I used to.
I have been dealing with really bad skin in general and my face was breaking out this month like crazy. I don't even know why, but it meant my skin care was geared towards healing them up. So I used a lot of this snail essence by COSRX which always promoted healing on my skin and in general feels nicely nourishing, but still light. I think it did well with my blemishes.
I also wanted to apply higher coverage foundation, because as I mentioned, my skin was just not having it this month. When I want something higher coverage, I always go for Revlon Colorstay foundation. I thin it out and mix it with Missha Perfect Cover B.B. cream which gives it a bit more natural finish to the skin. But this one stays on so well and covers good too.
This is still my favorite bronzer that I use everyday. I've gotten so lazy with my makeup routine that I don't even wear eyeshadows sometimes and I just apply this bronzer all over the lid. It actually ties in the whole look of the face really well. I like that it is pigmented, but blends with ease and the yellow undertone to it matches well with my skin tone. Bronzer is one of those makeup products I can't live without, because it gives color and dimension to my pale face, especially in the summer.
I would have never thought that this mascara would become so dear to me. It's actually brown black color, which makes me like it even more, because it's not as harsh as black, and it gives such a nice volume. But the best part, it doesn't clump lashes up. This is probably due to the drier formula which separates lashes well, but I need to apply at least two coats to get the full volumuzing effects that I like. But man, is it good. I am already considering repurchasing it in the future.
This is one of the best lip formulas, if you are like me, suffering from dry lips. It's sort of like a pigmented liquid lipstick with a very comforting balmy like feel to it. It's so soothing, but gives you the color. Date Night is sort of a slightly darker mauve shade with brownish undertone, so it makes for one of those nudes that will suit many skin tones.
Avon Iris Fetiche Eau de Parfum
Another great perfume by Avon that has quickly become my favorite. It has all the rights basics for me - sandalwood, amber and vanilla. But it starts with a sort of fresh and spicy note of pepper which really kicks this scent up. It dries down to a creamy powdery sweet woody note. It is nothing like the name would suggest - iris or floral. I really like it and haven't been able to put it down ever since I got it. It's such a chic fragrance.
I really want to try the city bronzer and I'm also such a fan of using bronzer on the eyes as like a super lazy eyeshadow look!

I bought based on good reviews, because I was seeing it everywhere and I guess it worked out good. I like the shade, but if you're cooler toned it may be too warm for you. Bronzer on the eyes makes the whole look so cohesive without even trying much. Plus it's quick which is always a good thing :D.
DeleteUh, šele danes sem imela čas prebrat tvoje favorite, pa bi v bistvu mogla neki drugega delat :D
ReplyDeleteKok mi je še vedno žal, da mi snail mucin maši pore :/ Ampak imam vseeno nekaj testerjev za opekline, ker nič drugega ni tako učinkovito kot to. Za vnete mozolje imam pa Etude House Snail masko in tudi zelo dobro deluje.
Revlon Colorstay sem tudi jaz dobila po dolgem času in mi je všeč za poletje. Imam sicer verzijo za suho/normalno kožo, ki pa je vseeno zelo mat. Mi ustreza v kombinaciji z Lavozon sončno kremo, ki je šajni. Naredi tako lepo glowy kombinacijo z lepo prekrivnostjo.
Vinyl gloss je top! Kakšna čudovita formula, res izjemno udobna. Še Max Factor glossi se lahko skrijejo pred njo, pa so že tisti dobri. Kiss Cushion so isto krasni. Bolj lahki, ampak isto tako udobni na ustnicah. Samo barve mi imajo pa bolj nezanimive. Birthday Suit v Vinyl liniji mi je prefect :)
Tale parfum sem že preden sem ga videla pri tebi gledala na Fragrantici in se mi je zdel najbolj zanimiv od tistih treh novih. Zveni krasno! Creamy-powdery, to mora bit najs :)
Včasih se je dobro malo zamotit :D.
DeleteTe snail zadeve so dobre za kakršno koli celjenje. Meni je pomagal pri spraspakni koži in tudi pri mozoljih. EH snail maske imam jaz zdaj tudi doma in jih šparam, ko imam bolj kritično stanje, kakšen vidkend potem pa izkoristim tudi na mozoljih. Fajn so te zadeve, čeprav kot pri vsem - vsakomur vse ne paše.
Jaz že tako dolgo uporabljam Colorstay pa še vedno nisem nikoli preizkusila te za suho verzijo, se pa spomnim, da sem jo enkrat preizkusila v trgovini in ne vem zakaj se mi je zdela še bolj prekrivna kot tista za mešano. Če imaš šanso preizksi še tisto (čeprav mislim, da najsvetlejši odtenek tam ni tako svetel), mogoče ti bo še dejansko bolj všeč. Za poletje je top, ker se res dobro obdrži na koži.
A ne? Meni je tudi ta formul odlična. Jaz samo resnično pogrešam več nude odtenkov. Rjave verzije, ampak pač z različnimi podtoni in svetlo/temno. Birthday Suit je meni tudi zelo všeč, ampak ne vem če ne bi bil bolj roza na meni.
Avonovi parfumi so tako - večina jih je solidni, nekaj pa jih prav izstopa. Tako kot Attraction Sensation pa Rush, je meni ta tudi zdaj kar takoj padel med resne favorite. Presenetljivo pudrast je za Avon in na sploh res kremna podlaga, ki pa nikakor ni pocukrana. Prav seksi je. Če boš imela šanso, zagotovo kjre preizkusi. Jaz tako redko kaj naročam, bi ti vzela tester drugače. Če kakega dobim ti pošljem :).
