NYX

Favourite foundation !

/ fashionanitastar / 1 Comment

NYX PROFESSIONAL Can’t Stop Won’t Stop 24 Hour Foundation with full coverage,Lightweight, waterproof and as pigmented as possible, this is one of my favourite foundation of the moment! It comes in 45 flattering, versatile tones and won’t transfer – very creamy, glides on smoothly, delivering matte coverage that stays true for up to 24 hours.

This foundation is great. It has drugstore pricing but high end features. This creamy full coverage foundation leaves you with a natural matte finish. For dry skin, works better moisturising before.

Completely recommend xx

Makeup Revolution conceal – This is a full coverage concealer, matte creamy, not greasy and  hydrating, perfect for under eye circles and imperfections.

L’Oréal false lash telescopic mascara – I tried so many different mascaras but I always back to this one, is really my favourite mascara. This mascara gives a fabulous lengthening effect.

NYX matte Lipstick are inspired by the velvety pencils, with adorable heart adorned case. The packaging is super cute.

I have the shade Dainty Daze,  this is gorgeous nude colour, the texture of this lipstick is very soft and smooth.  This is probably one of my favourite NYX lipstick to date, the formula is divine, feels very pleasant on the lips, the pigmentation is great! Very easy and creamy application, I really love this lipstick . Definitely I will pickup this in some other shades .

  Let me know if you have tried this lipstick.

MY CURRENT EVERYDAY MAKEUP ROUTINE

/ fashionanitastar / 8 Comments

Hi everyone, welcome back

Often I change up my everyday make up routine depending on my skin. Currently though I’ve listed the products below I have using everyday for the last weeks….

First things first I apply primer Maybelline super stay  on my face, this primer is great, gives a fresh makeup look all day.

Next I apply the Max factor Healthy skin Harmony Foundation this foundation leaves a very smooth skin and it last forever.

Then I like to apply Maybelline fit me concealer with Real techniques beauty blender …

Next is my favourite part! contour! bronzer! , I’m in love with the Makeup Revolution Pro HD Powder Contour this contains 8 contour and highlight powders. This pallet is pretty easy to work with … I can do contour, bronzer and highlight, It’s fab….

I also use for highlight the Bronzer bronzing brick, this gives a beautiful glossy finish.

For Setting Powder I use the Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder to set my foundation in place. I usually concentrate mostly on my T-zone where I am more likely to get more shine throughout the day.

Then for eyes I use Stila eyeshadow palette I have to say I use this pallet for long long time, and I really like it …

For mascara I received a sample of the Benefit Badgal Bang volumising mascara  and I really like it. It not only makes my lashes look thick, it gives a great amount of length and volume.

Finally onto lips, , I use my favourite mac lipstick of the moment in shade Mocha, for line my lips I like to use the NYX swede matte lip liner … I also have been using the lipstick from Primark Nudes Matte and I’m impressed with it.

So there you have it my current everyday makeup routine, let me know if you use any of the products I have listed or have any products you’d like to recommend to me. I love trying out new makeup.

L’Oreal Age perfect glow & Comfort BB Cream –  This light- wearing cream has a tinted formula that unifies the skin tone, giving a gorgeous natural looking glow. It’s definitely my favourite BB cream.

Perfume Just Pink – A fresh green floral fragrance with soft fruits and pink blooms,This just smells lovely. I really appreciate how simply beautiful the bottle are. I got this perfume as gift and I have been using it almost every day.

NYX Powder blush pinched – This is a beautiful peachy – pink which has a hint of gold shimmer. The formula is richly – pigmented and last for hours.

Nuxe Dry oil – This oil smells lovely and is fantastic for dry hair like mine, I use it every day not only on my hair but also in my skin, leaves it looking  very soft.
