Makeup I´m Currently Loving

It´s been awhile since I talked about what products I have been loving at the moment, mainly because I use a lot of the things over and over again but recently there have been a few additions to my makeup routine that I haven´t been able to stop using.

Recently I have been loving a primer, and actually using it every time I use makeup I honesty can´t remember doing this, I normally forget, but this one has really amazed me, the primer in question is the Makeup Forever Step 1 Smoothing primer, it just improves the texture of my skin and like the primer says smooths it, which is my biggest concern with my skin is the texture, it´s a new release from the brand, there are actually quite a few for different concerns, I also have my eye on the Mattifying one. 

For my base I have been obsessed with 2, the Dior Star Foundation for when I want more coverage and the Chanel Vitalumìere Aqua for the days I want a lighter base that still gives me good coverage and if I need more I just pop a little bit of concealer.

For blush I have been loving Mac Crisp Whites from the new collection Wash and Dry, it´s a lovely peach colour.

For my eyes I have been loving this crayon Colorband Eyeshadow and liner from Bourjois in the shade 02 Brun, a lovely bronzy color perfect to Summer.

Finally for my lips I have been wearing non stop the Clarins Instant Light Lip Balm Perfector in the shade 06, a lovely nude.

These are my current favourites, what are yours?

The Paris Makeup Bag

Recently I went to Paris, so I thought that I would break down what I took with me.

I tried not to get carried away and just bring the bare minimal. I did just that except I brought quite a few lip options!

For my base I brought the Bourjois 123 CC Cream, I love the coverage it gives, it´s one my favourite foundations ever! For concealer I went with my Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer, currently obsessed with this to cover my under eyes circles, sexy I know!

For blush I actually took 2, the Benefit Dallas, a current favourite, I´m so obsessed with this blush that I have to force myself to use something else! I also took the Nars blush in Gina ( not in the photo) , a  favourite of mine, but most of the time I used Benefit Dallas. For bronzer I took Nars Laguna, one of my Holy Grails, I love it so much!

For my eyeshadow I took my beloved Mac Soba, I can´t go anywhere without this! My favourite eyeshadow of all time! I actually have 2, one in my Mac palette and another in the pan , that´s how much I love it! I also brought the Dior palette in 796 Cuir Cannage, a beautiful neutral palette. For mascara I obviously took another holy grail of mine the Max Factor False Lash Effect Mascara.

Finally for lips here´s where I went a bit mental, I brought Mac Patisserie ( holy grail), Maybelline Color Elixir in 725 Caramel Infused, Nars Audacious Lipstick in Anita, Nars Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Doce Vita , Chanel Rouge Coco Shine in 92 Èmotion.

I also did quite a bit of shopping, haul coming soon....

The Makeup Change Up

Recently I have been doing my makeup a little differently. I have been using a new blush that I´m obsessed with, the Mac Mineralize Blush in Love Joy,its a bronzey shade with gold shimmer.It´s beautiful it just adds a bronzey glow to your skin, sometimes I wear it on top of bronzer and others by it self. For me it´s a change from my peach blushes, and since I bought I can´t stop using it!

Another recent addition to my collection is the Nars Satin Lip Pencil in Isola Bella, it´s a peachy nude, which I normally stay away from, but after seeing Tijan using it on a video I was sold and bought it even thought I was afraid that I wasn´t going to be able to pull it off, but when I first put in on my lips Surprise Surprise I actually liked it and have been using it quite often.

Sometimes is good to have a makeup change up,to every once in awhile to try something a little different but don´t expect to see me in a green eyeshadow anytime soon....

Currently Loving # 1

Now that the sun is coming out more and we are getting ready for Summer, even though the rain has come out a few times, NOT ACCEPTABLE it´s JUNE!!!! I have been craving the bronze Goddess look with a pop of colour on the lips.
So here is a few products I have been loving, The Ysl Touche Eclat foundation because it gives me a little bit of colour without making me look orange, I just slightly blend it into my neck (my shade is B40), this is a dewy foundation so soon enough I will have to stop wearing it because during the Summer my skin gets very oily so I have to use more matte foundations or Say Goodbye Dewy look and Hello Oily Hot Mess, and yes there is a Difference!!! One looks amazing, fresh and healthy and the second looks gross not a good look! But for now while is not super hot I can still wear it, I love this foundation!
Next we move on into bronzer I´m obsessed with this bronzer from the Clarins summer collection ( review here), I have been using it a lot. For blush I feel back in love with my Nars Blush in Gina its a beautiful matte peach blush I love it it has hardly left my cheeks this past few weeks and for highlighter I have been loving Betty-Lou Manizer from The Balm that just adds a beautiful bronzey glow.
Now onto eyes I could do a post just about my favourite eyeshadows but one in particular that I have been loving is Indianwood paint pot from Mac, it´s a gold-bronze eyeshadow to me is like mac woodwinked in cream form, I have been wearing this look with  my new favourite lipstick Mac Flat Out Fabulous, I´m obsessed with this amazing Hot Pink colour, it´s a retro matte formula so I would advise you to exfoliated and moisturiser your lips very well before you use it. And finally another favourite is a Mac Lustering its a beautiful pink-straberry-berry colour?? I´m terrible at describing things! Iam in Love with it so pretty for Summer. So here are a few of may favourites products at the moment.

What have you been loving?What are your Summer must haves?

Too Faced Sweethearts Blush in Peach Beach

When I picked up the Chocolate Bar Palette I also bought this, I just couldn't resist. What first caught my eye was the super cute packaging and when I saw how beautiful the colours were I was sold! 

I believe there are 3 colours to choose from, there is the original one Candy Glow and more recently they came out with 2 more shades Something About Berry and Peach Beach the one I have.

Peach Beach is beautiful, you can use the shades separately or just swirl your brush and mix them together like I do, it just gives you the most beautiful glow, I just love the pinky-peach bronzey colour that gives. 

Since I bought it, I couple weeks ago, I have been using this non stop! So happy I bought it! 

I guess I´m having a Too Faced Love Affair at the moment! ;)

Feel Unique Haul

This week finally arrived this order from Feel Unique, it was about time! Since I ordered it almost 2 months ago! First they lost my order and I had to wait 35 days to report it and then 2 more weeks for the new one to arrived, needless to say I was very disappointed with their services! Normally within a week my order has arrived. But now onto the good part: what I bought! I bought 2 things from The Balm, I love their products and I love the packing because is so vintage inspired and I also bought 2 things from Rimmel.

- The Balm Frat Boy Blush- I have used it twice now and I have I have to say I LOVE IT! It is this pinky peach colour that looks so beautiful on.

- The Balm Betty-Lou Manizer- I already have Mary-Lou Manizer and I Love it and this one was no different, is this gorgeous bronzy Highlighter, I think is going to be great for summer, but I already wore it and I love it.

- Rimmel Lasting Finish Colour Rush Intense Colour Balm in Give me a Cuddle and Rumour Has It.

I love both colours I have been wearing Give me a Cuddle which is a baby pink shade and Rumour Has It is more of a fuchsia berry shade.

In a previous post I have already shown you what I got when I went again to Paris last week.

- Bourjois Happy Light Foundation in 50 Porcelain (to mix with shade 53 that I already have but its a little to dark for me right now)

- Clinique Super Primer Color Correct Redness

- Nars Blush in Sin and Douceur

- Nars Lola Lola single eyeshadow

- Nars And God Created the Woman Palette ( This was launched last year and everyone went mad about, so when I saw this and didn´t twice about getting it ! So excited that I finally got this!!)
