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?

Paris Haul

In my previous post I showed you what makeup I took with me when I went to Paris, now is time to show you what I bought. Let´s just say mama went a little nuts and clearly was feeling spendy! My poor wallet is still crying from the money that is no longer there!!

First I went to Sephora and did some damage, I bought the Estée Lauder Perfectionist Foundation, I have been wanting this for awhile but couldn't find my shade, I haven´t used it enough to have much of an opinion, but when it comes to foundation i don´t think Estée Lauder foundations are for me, simply because I have such a hard time finding a shade that suits me they all look very orangey or pink for my liking, oh the struggle! I also bought the Smashbox Camera Ready CC Cream which I have yet to use. I also bough the Smashbox Photo Finish Primer, that I have been enjoying using.

I bought the Chanel Vitalumière Aqua in the Airport, I have heard so many good things about it that I finally caved in and bought it and I have to say I love it! I didn´t think I would because is quite light but I do, it covers pretty much everything I need, I hardly need concealer.

Back to what I bought at Sephora, I had to pick up more of the By Terry Ombre Black Star, this time in the shades Misty Rock and Beyond Gold, Yas it´s love! They are amazing!!! Love Love these!

My little drugstore purchase was the Maybelline Color Drama Intense Velvet Lip Pencil in 210 Keep it Classy.

Next I went to Printemps and I went a little wild! First I went to Nars and finally bought 2 lip products that have been sold out everywhere, I couldn't find anywhere or online, so I was so excited when they had it there. The lipsticks in question are the Nars Audacious lipstick in Anna and the Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Damned.

And now for the grand finale I went to the Tom Ford counter! I have been wanting Tom Ford Makeup for so long and now finally took the plunge. I had one lipstick when Tom Ford Beauty first launched with the white packaging. I bought 3 Lipsticks in Pink Dusk, Indian Rose and Violet Fatale and 3 Eyeshadow Quads, Cocoa Mirage, Golden Mink and Cognac Sable. I love them! I have been having so much fun playing around with them!

So here it my Paris Haul.

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?

New In from: Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Multi-Colour Nº 02 and Chanel Perfection Lumière Velvet

When I saw that Chanel had release a new Les Beige Powder I knew I had to try it, I choose shade Nº02 so I could use it as a bronzer, I only wore it a couple times but so far so good. I really like it, it adds colour to my face and also a subtle glow, you could use the shades separately or like me swirl the brush in all of them, it just gives such a pretty effect.

I also picked up their newest foundation release, Perfection Lumière Velvet, I don´t own the original Perfection Lumière so I can´t give you a comparison, the packaging is similar to Vitalumière Aqua but in black. I wore a couple times, and I really liked it, I think is going to be great for Summer, when it gets really hot and my skin gets very oily, I think this is going to come in handy, since this foundation gives a more matte, velvet finish than I´m used to, during the Winter my skin is more combination than oily, so I always go for a more dewy foundation.
I have to say I read in someone´s blog that the foundation oxidized on them and I think I have to agree I bought mine in shade 20 Beige and at first I thought it was a touch too light, but after I finish the rest of my makeup it looked darker, it matched much better, I don´t think it was because of the bronzer since I don´t put it all over my face. So I think when I doubt with this foundation go lighter.

Have you tried any of these products? 

Paris Haul Part 2

This post is way overdue, last month I went to Paris to visit my cousin and of course I did some shopping or I should be saying a lot shopping but I have been saving for a while so that I could treat myself to a few things.
In a previous post I have already shown you what I got when I went again to Paris last week.

This is what I bought:

- Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation in shade 4 ( which turned out to be just a little too light thats why I bought 6, shown in my 1st Paris Haul)

- Laura Mercier Silk Crème Foundation in Beige Ivory

- Bourjois 123 Perfect CC Cream in 52 Light Beige

- 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!!)
