Mid-October Favorites


Hello lovelies!

 

I hope you’re all having a bomb week. I know I have been, well at least it’s been a lot of work and that really keeps me busy and focused.

I wanted to share with you my favorite items so far this month.

Foundation:

I’ve been loving my L’Oreal Infallible Pro-Matte, I am shade 106. I absolutely adore the demi matte finish it has on my skin, not to mention this foundation lasts forever and due to the buildability of it, it allows me to rock a really natural look where my foundation is practically invisible; actually, when I first got it I applied it on my face and asked my friend if the shade was right and she was like… YOU ARE NOT WEARING FOUNDATION!!… Nothing else to say 😀

concealer

 

Concealer:

I am a big time concealer person… Like… I cannot live without a concealer, I have a concealer for every possible issue my skin might be facing, different shades, different formulas, different brands… Well.. You got the point.

I’ve been trying out new concealers and one of my new favs is the Maybelline Instant Rewind. The packaging is super cute and convenient, the little applicator on top really allows you to use just the right amount, and flawlessly apply the product on the skin without wasting any of it.

On a more High-end side, I have the NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer in Custard. I can tell you this is the most lightweight, easy to blend and high coverage concealer I’ve ever tried, this is some heavy duty concealer, if you are on the hunt for a new good concealer and have some money to spare I would tell you to go for it, you’ll not regret it.

 

MAC

Fix+

Well… This product speaks by itself, this is a makeup must have. It makes my eyeshadow pop, it makes my highlighter l00k almost foiled on the high points of my cheek, and overall makes my makeup to look natural and last all day.. EVEN AT WORK.

Make sure you go for it and you’ll not have second thoughts in buying it again once you run out.

 

KAT VON D MORPHE

Eyeliner:

Dear Kat Von D, ever since I tried for the first time my Trooper Tatoo Liner I felt in love, I cannot describe how easy is to apply my liner now, it literally takes me a minute to do my liner… Before that it was a hassle for me to get the perfect cat-eye, but you made it heaven.

This is a very long lasting liner and you NEED this like yesterday. 🙂

Overall, I’ve been into very basics and I am loving it.

Love you all, hope you enjoyed and you can tell me down the comments what are your favorite makeup items so far.
