Shopping day, make up products I use
Soo after work and a quite eventful day, I went to a small shopping spree... and it turned more into a make up shopping spree but whatever.
Btw why are some shop assistants so unfriendly, especially those who sell make up? Or is it just in Germany >.> They always seem so haughty, at least that is the impression I get from them.
Anyways, someone asked me if I could show which make up products I use, since I already revealed what kind of cremes and face washes I use.
I am not a make up expert and I do not have some kind of beauty blog whatsoever but I have to admit, I like buying make up, especially lip sticks.
As for my daily routine, I use Miss H BB cream in shade 21 and SHEENe extra oil free powder which I bought in Thailand (which I have for over a year now)
I do own other kind of foundations though, like the photofinish foundation from Catrice, which looks like this
(I think I have the second one from left but I am not quite sure XD)
I like to use it but not all too often because I do get some breakouts from it, sadly. I use it when I go partying though since BB cream let you look like a ghost in flashlight... and every other make up with SPF but bb cream tends to have high SPF.
What i like to do is trying different products, since I try to find a good make up for my problematic oily-dry-combination skin (It is not as dry anymore, thanks to The Body Shop products, which I use religiously every day now XD)
Today I bought the Stay matte but not flat liquid foundation from NYX and I hope that it is a good one since I read quite mixed reviews about it. The good thing is, though, that NYX make up has that yellowish undertone, which is perfect for me. The most make up products here in Germany have a rosé undertone and it is hard to find good make up which is not all too pricey >.<
I also bought the Anti-blemish solution liquid make up from Clinique, which was a bit pricier but I mostly read good reviews about it and I wanted to give it a try. Had to buy it in the lightest shade though since the colors are quite dark and make foundation tends to darken a bit over the day on my skin.
Since NYX seem to have good lipsticks, I also wanted to buy a lipstix but I didn't. instead I bought the colored lip balm in the color Shukran, a darker, slightly violet pink. It smells amazing and hasn't dried my lips until now!
Regarding lipstick, I do love wearing bold colors so the most of my lipsticks are red or a darker pink. I own three lipsticks from The Body Shop in the colors Enraptured Red (115), Crazy y Crimson (125, matte) and the Coral Blush (115), two other red lip sticks from Catrice and one more orange toned and a slightly violet one from Rimmel. I intend to buy a really dark violet lipstick and I have seen one from NYX so I probably will buy it tomorrow or so.
My favorite lipstick is the Lip Butter lipstick from Astor though because it stays on the lips like... really, really long. Already tested it and it stayed on my lips during eating, drinking and even make outs XD I bought mine during a special edition thing so I don't know if they still have it available but they also have other really pretty colors :) ( think I am going to buy two more XD)
As for blushes, I only own two at the moment. A slightly brownish toned from catrice, which I shouldn't have bought since it is barely visible on my skin and I have to apply tons of it, sadly. I bought one from NYX today in a more pinkisk color and it is great! I don't have to apply much and it looks good. I think I will go an buy some more blushes from NYX since the colors are all really beautiful and very pigmented.
I am very picky when it comes to mascara and I only use the Colossal Mascara from Maybelline for quite a time now and it is the best one I've ever had XD As for eyeliner, I use liquid eyeliner and I constantly change the brands XD
All my eye make up is water proof since it easily comes off my weird skin and I hate that >.>
Aaaanyhow, this is what i use/intend to use in the future. I know, it sounds like I wear a lot of make up but I don't XD I only use it sparesly but as I said, I like to try out new brands^^
For those who don't need to wear any make up, lucky you XD But even if I wouldn't need any foundation, I still would love lipsticks XD
Tell me what products you use (if you use any) even if I probably never will be able to get them here in Germany :'D Well, I'm going to Thailand soon so yai for me XD
