Recent makeup favorites

How’s everyone’s Saturday going so far? I’ve spend most of my morning taking lots of pictures for today’s and future posts. I noticed that I’ve been blogging much more often lately-published a post every day this week- so happy about that! Today’s post is a really quick one showing you my latest favorites in make-up.

MAC Studio Fix Fluid Foundation-this foundation was recommended to me by a makeup artist at the MAC store and to be honest I wasn’t completely sold- I really wanted to get a powder foundation instead- but after she applied it to my skin I decided to go with the liquid one. It provides a light to medium coverage with a natural matte finish. I like that it contains silica, which helps to keep oily skin at bay. I got matched to NW18 (usually I’m more of a NC15)- it looks so dark in the bottle, but once applied on my skin it looks quite nice and natural.

I’ve already wrote about Bobbi Brown’s Shimmer Brick right here, and I just have to say how much I still love it. I’ve been reaching for it every single day, it adds such a beautiful and subtle sheen to my complexion. I honestly think that it’s impossible to go wrong with this product, it’s delicate, natural looking and blends beautifully into the skin.

Soleil Tan De Chanel moisturizing bronzing powder in number 62-Terre Epice was a gift from my sister. I’ve had it for over a year now, but for some reason I didn’t use it much. I’d love to be able to contour my face, but unfortunately I feel that whenever I try to use a darker bronzer it only makes my scaring on my cheeks more visible. This bronzer is so subtle, it adds a bit of color without being harsh or overpowering.

Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes mascara is simply amazing. the brush is great because it gathers just a right amount of product- no need to wipe any excess off. It gives my lashes a beautiful, natural look that can be built up to a more dramatic one with few extra coats.

MAC Pure Zen lipstick (bottom) and NARS Turkish Delight lip-gloss (top)- both are great for an every-day wear. Pure Zen lipstick is another product that I’ve had for a while, it’s a nice peachy-nude color that doesn’t wash me out. The NARS lip-gloss is a subtle pink color and it’s very moisturizing and long-lasting.
