Getting ready: Natural

me2

Hey beauties! Today I decided to start making "Getting Ready" posts to show you what products i'm wearing and my daily looks. Most of the days i wear natural looks, but sometimes i add a bit of colour either to my lips or my eyes, i don't like both at the same time. Today i'm wearing black eyeliner, glowy cheeks and a hint of colour in my lips. Even though it looks like i've done nothing on my face, foundation and concealer really do make a big difference.

what i used

As always i start with facial moisturizing cream and primer (not pictured here). Then i apply concealer. Right now i'm using the Mac Select Cover Up in NW25. After concealing i apply my foundation Chanel Lift Lumiere in 05 Faience with foundation brush or my fingers. Today i didn't applied blush, i just applied the Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick in Nectar which i LOVE! It gives my cheeks a healthy glow and brightens up my complexion. After that i apply the Laura Mercier Mineral Pressed Powder in Natural Beige to set my whole makeup.

For my eyes i used the Chanel Eyeshadow Quad in 74 Nymphéa (Limited edition/Discontinued) and the Mac Fluidline in Black Track, for my lashes the Maybelline One by One Mascara in Blackest Black, for my brows the Mac Eyeshadow in Brown Down and the Mac Brow Set in Clear. Finally for my lips i applied the Revlon Lipbutter in Pink Truffle.

What do you think about this look? Do you like natural looks? What is your everyday natural look routine?

Wants:

wishlist

Hello lovelies! I've made a list of some products i've been wanting to try and have heard good things too!

FRAGRANCE: Chanel Gardénia - Chanel describes this perfume as a Sweet and voluptuous, an intense fragrance of absolute femininity. It has a vanilla base, creamy gardenia petals and accented coconut. I can't wait to get my hands on this perfume! 

HAIR: Morrocan Oil - This is a nourishing and residue free formula that is used for conditioning, styling and as a finishing tool. How great! 
Bumble & Bumble Leave In (Rinse Out) Conditioner - Sephora describes this products as a lightweight detangler with moisture and frizz control. A summer must have! 
NAILS: Even though i think Deborah Lippmann's nail polishes are a bit overpriced, i just loved this colour! It's called Across the Universe and it's a blazing blue and metallic green glam in sheerest navy (glitter), and i love glittery nail polish! 
FACE: Benefit launched a while ago this Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow Foundation and since i'm a big fan of Benefit i think i'm going to love it. I already own the Hello Flawless Custom Powder and it's great! 
Next is the Girl Meets Pearl that i have tried before & i just need to repurchase!
And of course, a new Nars blush won't do any harm. The colour it's called Luster. Maddi, a reader from San Francisco, mentioned it in a previous post so i will give it a try!  

SKIN: I have heard wonders of Bioderma's Crealine H2O in a lot of reviews. This product is soap free make up remover and cleansing solution and it's soothing and emolliant. Sounds great right? 

So those are the items on my shopping list! Hopefully i'll collect them all!
Have you tried any of this products before? Do you recommend any of these products?

Favourites: June 12


faves

Here are my makeup faves for June:

1. Chanel Les 4 Ombres in 32 Lillium: This eyeshadow quad has a soft peach with a frosty finish, a yellow green with medium frost finish, a smoky black and green with a metallic finish and a taupe with a shimmery bronze finish. The colours are very versatile and well pigmented, this quad is great for a natural daily look but it can also be build up for a more dramatic evening look. 
2. Benefit's Benetint: I absolutley love this rose tint lip & cheek stain. The smell is just delightful and can be used both in cheeks and lips for a fresh natural look. Fairly easy to apply and can be built up to layers for an intense colour. 
3. Nars Blush in Orgasm: I honestly think every girl on earth should own this blush, or at least give it a try. Orgasm is named "Top 25 Beauty Hall of Fame” 2010 Elle; "Best Blush for Light Skin” 2010 & 2011 & 2012 InStyle "Best Beauty Buys”; "Best Blush for Fair Skin” 2011 InStyle"Best Beauty Buys”. It is very blendable, it has peachy pink hues with a golden finish that makes my cheeks irresistable. It provides a very healthy glow, i just love it! 
4.Guerlain Ombre Eclat L'instant Charnel: This single eyeshadow is extra light with a golden finish and it provides a very smooth application, i love it because it gives my eyelids a luminous & even colour. I like to use it as a base for a cat eye, it combines perfectly. 
5. Rosebud Salve: This product is the very best i could find, not only for my chapped lips, but for my dry hands, elbows and knees. I love multipurpose products, also check Lush Lemony Flutter. 
6.Givenchy Phenomen' Eyes Effet Extension Black: Since it came out, i believe in high definition eyelashes. The spherical brush is just too cool. The formula coats each lash and dries rapidly. 
7.Benefit's Speed Brow: This is a quick set brow gel, i have tried the Mac Brow Set before but i like this one better. I have very light coloured eyebrows and this gel completes them. The smell is not as strong as Brow Set and the formula is thicker. I love it!

What are your June's faves? Any new products i should try? What do you think of this products?

Limited Edition, love it or leave it?

limiteded

I think i'm in love with limited edition makeup. I love the originality of the packaging, the design, the new experimental formulas, the new colours, everything! MAC cosmetics for example, comes with a lot (A LOT! ) of limited edition products (like the ones pictured here from Surf Baby's last year summer's collection, Tartan Tale Collection, Quite Cute Colletion, etc) And so does other makeup brands. I particularly think it's great, it makes makeup exciting and fun. 

So limited edition has it's pro's and it's con's. What do you think? Rather stay with the same collection or try new ones?
