There are many bloggers I love out there.
One of them is the gorgeous Magda, whose last post made me think about what products I would choose in the case of someone asking about my favs.
I am not a favs person.
I mean, I like many films, books, writers and music bands, but it is truly difficult to me selecting the very best. Indeed, I always feel a little weird when people ask me about it: 'What´s your favourite actress?' or, 'What about your fancied food?' are just not a good way to start a conversation with me (and sometimes people can become very insistent about this type of things).
As a logical consequence, I have chosen the cosmetics that I use currently, rather than my front-runners (because well, I simply don´t have a clear list of them).
Anyway, I hope you enjoy my top ten in cosmetics!
♥ Eyelashes. I don´t really care about brands as long as they feel cozy. The ones here are a cheap pair from Primark Beauty. They are called 'Full Look Lashes'.
♥ Nail polish. A very basic, right? I am in love with a relatively unknown brand. Leticia Well offer a stunning finish with these raven black (colour #227) and sparkling ruby red (# 231).
♥ Eyeshadow. I have never been a huge fan of eyeshadow, but pigments are a different universe (and I am on the boat of liquid eyeshadow too). Right now I am very fond of Detrivore´s Livor Mortis (a very dusty purple with powerful undertones).
♥ Enlightening concealer. Totally sold to the natural look you get by using it. When I want to keep it simple, this is always my first choice. I use Softfocus Concealer by Kiko Milano Makeup.
♥ Liquid black eyeliner. Kind of my personal signature, I'm sure you've already noticed that. The bottle in the picture belongs to H&M cosmetic line and I bought it last week during an eyeliner urgency. Usually, I prefer Yves Saint Lauren Eyeliner Effet Faux Cils Shocking, but as I mentioned I ran away of it in the last minute before an important event.
♥ Vegetal moisturizer cream. Nothing like vegetal oil to keep your skin silky. The specimen here is Yves Rocher Organic Vanilla Lotion.
♥ Lipstick, lipstick, lipstick! My current two favs are Kiko´s Rouge A Lévres, and Revlon´s Va Va Violet (ey, ideal name for me!).
♥ Fluid Comfort Foundation. Don´t try to look for it in the picture, I totally forgot to include it! However, it´s the very basic product I use everyday. Yves Rocher makes a fantastic product called Couleurs Nature. My tone is Teint Trés Clair.
♥ And of course I had to include the main tool that helps me with the basis of my everyday look. That´s the Real Techniques Stippling Brush by Samantha Chapman. Ok, it´s not a cosmetic itself but, what could I do without it?
So tell me, darlings, what are your cosmetic favs at the moment?
I would love to try that nail polish brand! Can it be bought at a convenience store?
ResponderEliminarIn fact, I bought them at a normal drugstore in the mall. However, I live in Europe, so not really sure if you can buy them in your local stores in the US.
EliminarGosh that lipstick looks amazing! I love dark shades of red especially during winter time! And speaking of winter, I replied to your comment on my blog, hope it helps!
ResponderEliminarMy favorite beauty product at the moment is Max Factor's Smooth Effect foundation. ^^
I am fond of all types of dark shades, but when speaking about lipstick I am totally lost to reds and purples, that´s for sure. I haven´t tried with Max Factor for many years: last time I was about twenty I think, and by then their fluid makeup was a little cakey. However, cosmetics has developed a lot since then, somaybe I need to give them another try.
EliminarVa Va Violet is one of my favourite shades! It has a very clever name :B
ResponderEliminarAnd I really want to try Detrivore Cosmetics, some day :)

EliminarDetrivore has a high-quality pigmentation in my opinion, which is a very nice thing on an alternative brand (and not very common). Infortunately, I´ve just tried their eyeshadows at the moment, so I cannot tell you about the rest of their products.
EliminarAnd yeah, Va Va Violette is an amazing name for a lipstick!
Aw how sweet of you :$ So glad you made that post!! I cannot also pick one favourite brand of make up or a single favourite product, i like to have options, tasting everything around! That also goes the same to books, movies etc. Very nice collection of make up and cosmetic products <3
ResponderEliminarOh, you´re very welcome my dear ♥
EliminarBut yeah, I can´t understand why people look so hopeless to learn what are one´s tastes in terms of favs and lists.
I think is so much more interesting having a widespread stocktaking of beloved things, better than just a couple of favourite items.
