Current favourite everyday lipsticks

Lately, I've been loving lipstick more than ever. Usually I like to spend more time on the eyeshadow and am usually too much in a rush to even bother with lipstick. But I've been doing more simple eyeshadow look and playing more with lipstick.

I've been loving natural pinks, nudes, pink nudes... Yeah so I think you get the point! So let's start.

| MAC Proenza Schouler lipstick in Woodrose |

This might be my favourite nude of all time - shame that its not permanent but from the Proenza Schouler collection. It's basically the perfect nude - its a bit sheer so it doesn't wash you out. It's so comfortable to wear/hydrating. It's a silky light beige (cool toned). The ombre packaging (green, yellow and purple) & square is just so pretty.

| MAC Brave | 

Of course, the Kylie Jenner lipstick. On my defense, I've been loving Pink truffle Revlon lip butter before it was popular haha - which is very similar! Brave is a pink/mauve/brown lipstick. I love this lipstick and I wear it almost every day and most of the time I pair it with MAC's lipliner in Whirl.

+ I have a full post where I talk about MAC's Brave lipstick - here.

| Revlon Lip Butter in Pink Lemonade |

 A nice neutral light pink. This is the perfect pink (sort of nude) for everyday wear. It's semi-sheer and has a sheen to it. The only thing is that you need to reapply as it doesn't last more than 1-2 hours - but its so easy, you don't even need a mirror!

| NARS Satin Lip Pencil in Rikugien |

I need to try more satin lip pencil. This was a Sephora 500 points gift (which included other NARS products). So happy I discovered this, especially this shade. Rikugien is a medium toned rose, it's like a 'my lips butter colour' kind of thing. It's very neutral. It has a glossy texture. It last such a long time - every time I wear this I get compliments!

| Revlon Lip Butter in Pink Truffle |

First of, I LOVE Revlon lip butters. I've recently rediscovered this beauty in my collection.  A very beautiful mauve/pink/brown. This is a great to achieve Kylie Jenner's lips. Pink Truffle is super pigmented.  Beautiful for everyday wear. I adore the formula on this one.

Five favorites.

Hi everyone! For the past few months I've been trying to not buy as much makeup and use/test what I do have. I'm always trying to try new things in my collection.

 

Here's what I've been loving lately...

Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Medium/Deep Matte Bronzer// 
I believe that I have found my favorite bronzer. It's a matte bronzer that isn't orange/muddy aka the perfect bronzer, plus, it smells like chocolate! Say what? It also blends very well! Love, love, love.

Stila Self Adjusting blush in Coral//
This is the perfect blush for the summer. As the name mentions it's a coral blush, it's on the pink side. The texture of this blush is perfect. It blends it quite easily, it is pigmented, lovely color, what more could you ask for?

NARS Satin Lip Pencil in Rikugien//
Had this in a Sephora 500 points reward and I am so glad that I discovered this gem. I will be repurchasing this forever and always. I love the texture, color, finish, basically everything about it. The color is a medium toned rose color.  It's the perfect neutral in my opinion. It goes on super smooth. It has a slight shine to it. I really want to try more NARS Satin Lip Pencil... if you have any you really like, please let me know in the comments!

Buxom lipgloss in Creamsicle//
This is one of my all-time favorite lipgloss, especially for the summer time! This subtle creamy corally pink lipgloss is just perfect. It is not sticky. It smells really good as well.

Benefit Sunbeam Highlighter//
 If you're looking for a summer highlight, this might be the right one for you. This golden bronze highlighter is perfect for a tanned skin. As Sephora mentioned on their website it's like liquid sunshine! Gives your skin a lovely sunkissed glow! One thing I really like about it's that it's not glittery, but shimmery. It doesn't make your face oily. I will surely repurchase the full size when I finish this one.

And here are some swatches...

Hope you have enjoyed this blog post and enjoying summer! Leave me in the comments what you have been loving lately! xx

NARS blush in Amour

Hi! Long time no talk! Today I will be reviewing my first NARS blush!! The one I bought is Amour which is a darkened pink-tinted coral. There is no shimmer; it's a matte finish and it's a very natural color.

It is super pigmented, so be sure to apply it lightly. But overall, it's easy to work with cause it's a fine powder. Amour really gives you a radiant/glowy look - love it! It stays on all day as well.

As all the other NARS' packaging - it's gorgeous. Only thing is that it gets messy easily.

Here's a swatch of Amour:

Overall, it's a great blush - worth the price tag! If you're looking for a blush that will make you look radiant - I highly recommend this one. I see this blush as being a permanent item for me in my collection :) And I will surely expand my collection of NARS' blushes! 

What's your favorite NARS blushes?

Products I love using everyday

Hi beauties! Today I felt like showing some of my favorites everyday makeup. I have not found a routine that I stick to, and I change my use of product, because I don't like making my other product lonely! ;) Ha, just kidding.

Products:

E.L.F. Makeup Mist & Set- Or I like to call it: a hairspray for the face. Perfect for oily skin and long nights out.

Tarte Clean State Flawless 12hr brightening primer- A primer is essential if you want your make up to stay on all-day. (Who doesn't?)

Revlon Colorstay Foundation- Great foundation for flawless look and lightweight feel.

NYX Concealer in a jar- Perfect for imperfection.

Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder- If you have shine on your face, this will matify your face.

Annabelle Blushon #18- Perfect color for this season!

Sephora Silk Blush Bronzer Duo, Argentinean Duo- This come with a blush, but I'm talking about bronzer. Bronzer will make you look like you've been tanning in this cold winter.

Benefit High Beam Luminescent Complexion Enhancer- Put this on your cheekbones and you'll look like a superstar!

NARS Turkish Delight- This gloss is famous because of Kim Kardashian. It is perfect combined with the next lipstick, that she also uses with Turkish Delight.

MAC Angel- Perfect Kim K combo. This has become her signature look. It's such a perfect color and with the gloss, it's a delight.

Urban Decay Primer Potion- I'm sure you've all seen this primer before. You need a primer if you don't want your eyeshadow to crease throughout the day. Trust me.

Lancome Hypnose Mascara- If I could only wear one thing (apart from face product) - mascara would be it! It's a must. Even people who doesn't wear alot of make up uses mascara because it just opens up your eyes and makes a difference.

Maybelline Line Stiletto- Eyeliner is a must also.

Milani Brow fix brow kit- If you don't already use a brow powder, you really should because it frames your face like nothing else.

Color tattoo in Barely Beige by Maybelline- Perfect for a base or alone.

Wet n' wild cream shadow pencil- This is perfect for inner eyes, it will brighten up your whole face like nothing else would.

Urban Decay Naked Palette- This palette is perfection. Perfect for everyday use. I love using eyeshadow everyday because it's one of the most creative part of makeup.

What do you like to use everyday? XO
