What’s in my makeup bag for winter

/ Analucascardigos / 8 Comments

Hi everyone, welcome back

Winter is here, your makeup bag ready for it?  I love updating my makeup bag for a new season.  So this is the makeup, I like to take with me every where.

This is everything that is in my makeup bag at the moment.

When it comes to makeup, Winter scream moisturized lips. My lips get pretty dry, so I always make sure to carry a lip balm with me.

I love lipsticks, in my makeup bag I always have more than one lipstick, Maybelline Vivid matte Rebel red & Mac whirl are definitely my lipsticks of the moment.

L’Oreal True match concealer – This concealer is pretty amazing in that it actually covers dark circles! It hides my imperfections, stays in place all day and highlights as well.

NYX HD Finishing powder – This powder is so silky smooth on my skin and just works really well.

I love NYX products &  NYX Blush pinched is a beautiful peachy -pink, I just love it.

EliZabeth Arden Bronze I’ve been using this pretty much every time I use makeup. This bronzing powder duo is amazing, blends well and makes my skin look flawlessly blended (naturally)

L’Oreal Paradise mascara –  For me winter makeup is all about the eyes, it’s all about a big coat of mascara to give your lashes some serious length, and that is exactly what this mascara does.

What’s in your makeup bag? Which makeup product can you can’t leave your house without ?

So here are my new year resolutions:

 

1 – Take a vacation
2 – Eat healthy
3 – More excercise
4 – Travel More
5 – Spending more time developing my blog
6 – Enjoy life more
7 – More patient
8 – Save money
9 – To be full time makeup artist

 

I started some changes in my life when I find out I have overactive Thyroid, this make me think about my life, and more to the future, I started eat gluten free and more healthy food. So one of the things I really want for the new year is to have my health problem resolved and be healthy….

Hi everyone, welcome back

November is already here! Anyway, since another month has passed, it’s time for yet another Favourites post. Today I’m sharing my favourite beauty products that I used during the month of October.

Garnier Skin Naturals Micellar Cleansing Water – Micellar water is an easy way to remove make-up, soothe and hydrate the face, eye area and lips. This is the best ever make up remover out there.

Olay Anti Wrinkle Pro Vital Night Moisturiser Cream – This anti-ageing night cream moisturiser from Olay  helps to firm the skin and reduce the appearance of deeper wrinkles. I love it …..

L’Oreal Nude Magique BB Cream –  It feels like skincare but then transforms into and works like make-up. It’s light coverage so good for everyday wear.

Revlon colorstay creme eyeshadow – These eyeshadow  are easy to blend and super long wear. This eye shadow is my favourite cream eyeshadow from drugstore. ( I have a full review on the blog )

NYX lip liner in nectar – Is a must-have for those of you who love pink, richly pigmented liner in an easy twist-up pencil.

Victoria’s Secret Satin Lip Crayon – These are gorgeous, creamy, lip crayons which are so easy to carry in your handbag. I have been loving these lipstick.

Revlon colorstay crème eyeshadow 

/ Analucascardigos / 17 Comments

Hi everyone, welcome back

For an everyday, fast makeup look you can’t beat cream eyeshadow. For a speed and ease application, cream eyeshadow are the best.

This is a Luxurious, longwear crème eyeshadow with a pro-inspired built-in-brush designed for easy, mess free application.

These shadows are easy to blend and super long-wearing. One thing I appreciate is how the cream gives you enough time to blend and layer it before drying up.

I’ve the shade 705  is a true champagne colour with slightly warm undertones. It’s slightly shimmery, but not glittery. I consider it a satin finish.

One layer of colour gives a very natural look, the next layer is a spectacular glamour makeup.

So my overall thoughts are that Revlon colorstay  creme eyeshadow are wonderful! The formula is light weight, super blendable and lasts really well. And the best of all is it doesn’t crease at all, not even in hot, sweaty days. This eye shadow become my new favourite cream eyeshadows from the drugstore.

I definitely like the Revlon Colorstay Creme Eyeshadow

That’s all for today!

Have you tried this product? Let me know your thoughts 😉

Thanks 😉
