Beauty Product of the Week

This topic is basically to share your weekly beauty favourite and why you love them.

My weekly favourite is currently M.A.C's Mineralize Skinfinish Natural. I love this powder because its the only powder I can use on my normal/dry skin that doesn't dry my skin out. It has very very fine micro shimmer which doesn't show up at all, but it allows the powder to leave a more dewy, natural finish instead of the flat look some powders give.

Rimmel London Stay Matte Foundation. Oh my gooooooosssh. This foundation KILLS the shine, like BAM!

Catrice Eyeliner pen.

I recently got two MAC lipsticks---Girl About Town & Impassioned. They're both pink and I adore them.
It's an amplified creme finish, which isn't as drying as a matte lipstick so it isn't super uncomfortable if you wear it the whole day.

Definitely would recommend it if you like bright pink lipstick.

My latest favourite is my Rimmel Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl eyeliner in Taupe, it's so pretty! It's like a neutral browny sort of colour with a bit of glitter/shimmer in, lovely. Also I can't not mention the Real Techniques buffing brush, it's so soft and I swear to god my foundation has never looked this good or stayed on this long.

Maybelline Eye Studio Amethyst Ablazed quad. It's $8 (WAY more than I'd ever pay for 5 colors in a pan) but I didn't feel to guilty because it's PURPLE and it's SPARKLY and SHIMMERY and I LOVE it and it will last me probably 5 years like all my other makeup does if I'm gentle with it. ♥

I didn't think I'd be a fan of a pencil crayon type of lip product, but the Clinique Chubby Stick Intense is amazing.
Great pigmentation, feels like a lip balm, isn't drying, and leaves a nice stain on the lips when it breaks down.

I have Grandest Grape, which is a berry / plum shade, perfect for fall & Heftiest Hibiscus, which is an orange-y red.
Grandest Grape isn't as pigmented as Heftiest Hibiscus, but it's not that big of a deal.

Probably not of the week because these are going to last me for quite a looong time but definitely

These products are the bomb dot com when working together! I usually can't wear concealer because for some reason it'll look cakey even with high end face primer. ): My skin is super soft and smooth, and I've been with many makeup professional trying to see what concealer would work best... and finally, I found it. With the help of the stickiness of the Emulsion moisturizer as a base before the concealer, everything gets blended away perfectly until it looks natural. :D Goodbye, dark circles and redness around the nose.

Chapstick Mixstix. I have two - Banana strawberry smoothie and Lemon berry sorbet. Pretty self-explanatory, each mixstix has two ends, you can use each flavour individually or mix them together.

So, this week I'm crushing on-

NARS
Light Reflecting Pressed Setting Powder - this is just perfect, it sets your oundation, ensuring it lasts all daya nd it gives you his beautiful dewy look.

It Cosmetics
Celebration Foundation Illumination - SO. GREAT. Seriously the consistency is just to.die.for. and once it's on your face, it doesn't feel like a power. I have never used anything like it and the coverage is just amazing.

Simple Kind To Eyes Eye Makeup Remover Pads - I love mascara. I own so many, and I only buy water-proof and this cuts through it all.

and

Debora Lippmann, Rolling in the Deep - I love DL and I love dark polishes. The consistency and the glitter size is just perfect.

I literally can't live without Smashbox photo finish primer like, I buy the CHEAPEST foundation ever. This prime makes a $3 dollar foundation look like it was a $45 dollar foundation and for the past 6 years I have used one kind of mascara and one kind only: Maybelline's Lash Stiletto. Literally, I get a lot of compliments on my eyelashes and I always tell people buy that mascara. I will cry the day I can't find it, I feel like they're going to discontinue making it

Benefit They're Real Push-Up Liner : It takes a little getting used to, but once I did, I fell IN LOVE.

I've really been enjoying using the Burt's Bees lip balm in blueberry and dark chocolate, as well as Shiseido Perfect Rouge lipsticks. The latter applies evenly and it's not drying due to its creamy, pigmented consistency. Not a ton of product per tube for the price but I think it's worth it regardless.

Twist 'n' Go Instant Nail Polish Remover by Designer Brands. As someone who constantly changes their mind and fucks up while painting nails, this thing is a life saver.
