First I want to start from the new perfume for my collection, I never used before Zara fragrances, but I decided to try the Zara Joyful Tuberose ( Christmas collection) this is a floral fruity fragrance, it is delicate,elegant and perfect as a day perfume….

Another product is new for me Is the Maybelline Master Contour Duo Stick, It’s a stick contouring 2 in 1,  Highlight to enhance. A sculpted, V-shaped face.

Revlon Colorstay creme eyeshadow its a nicely pigmented and creamy texture, I bought only one shade in 705,  the exact shade that i have been looking for. It’s perfect for everyday.

L’Oreal perfect match concealer, Instant coverage and smoothing, Corrects skin tone and undertone, Enriched with Caffeine to reduce the appearance of dark circles overtime.

L’Oreal ultra precision liner, I’m keep buying this, at the moment is my favourite eyeliner. It does not smudge or smear on to the upper eyelid. it dries quickly and lasts throughout the day.

Last but not least it’s Olay anti-wrinkle pro vital night cream, I used this cream for a while, but I stopped use it just to try a new products, but now I decided to go back, it’s one of the night cream I really like.

Fall beauty routine

/ Analucascardigos / 14 Comments

Hi everyone, welcome back

As you begin updating your wardrobe for fall, don’t forget about your beauty routine! When the temperatures start to cool down, there a certain changes I make to my skincare and makeup.

Image result for fall photos

Whether it’s Spring, Summer, Autumn or Winter; our skin needs special attention.

In Autumn the air starts becoming dryer and cooler.

Moisturize, protect and prepare the skin is very important for me….

As the air becomes drier, your skin needs a thicker moisturizer. Creams provide a stronger oily barrier, which means they both reduce water loss from the outer layer of skin and provide hydration. Applying moisturizer on your face and body is very important. On my face, I apply in the morning and evening, and on my body I like to apply after shower or bath.

Makeup

For eyeshadow, I like to swap out some of corals and pinks for some deep reds, burgundy, orange and brown shade.

Lips

Hydrating my lips is a must for me not only on fall but all year.

Trade your bright pink lipsticks for nude, berry, or red tones, add a bold lip colour to your daily makeup look. I like to use deep red or even brown lipsticks. I’m loving, brown lip colours for fall.

Hope you enjoyed reading and have a great week 🙂

Mac Concealer – Pro longwear & Select cover-up

/ Analucascardigos / 16 Comments

Hi everyone, welcome back

Concealer is an essential part of any makeup routine, it hides dark circles and skin imperfections …..  There are billions of concealers out on the market, it’s hard to know which ones are going to work the best for you. MAC has a legendary reputation in the make up world and it’s assumed that they make quality products.

Here are two of my favourite concealer from mac;

Mac Pro longwear concealer – This is a fluid concealer that provides full matte coverage for up to 15 hours, with a comfortable matte finish. Gives a smoother flawless looking finish on skin, helps to conceal flaws, spots, under eye  circles and skin discolouration.

Mac Select cover up concealer – A liquid camouflage-like formula that brightens dark areas, erases spots and evens skin tone.  This concealer can be use anywhere, face or body  to camouflage the skin, with a medium coverage and a matte finish….

Using the right concealer can help you hide your imperfections. Opt for a shade that’s one lighter than your skin tone and apply the concealer first before any other layer of makeup. To help completely cover stubborn blemishes or dark spots…. 

When properly applied, concealer can work wonders, as well as enhancing your beauty.  

What is your favourite concealer ?

Thanks 😉
