fav beauty products

Those aren't not only my "fav" beauty products, but also my beauty products I can't live without. I need them all the time and have them always with me just in case (emergency!). I also always have deodorant with me and red lipstick, just in case I can't change for a night out. It always gives an extra touch to an outfit.

1) Dry Shampoo

Where would I be without dry shampoo? I have really greasy hair :( and this is my saver ! If I wash my hair every 2 days, I immediately get dandruff so then it's better for me to use dry shampoo! Plus, it gives my hair extra volume; I kind of like my hair better when I use dry shampoo then after I washed it. Oh, and I use the powder: much better and last sooo much longer. Is a bit expensiver, I think, though.
Klorane, about 13 euro.

2) Lip balm, Carmex

Carmex is the best (that rhymes a little!). I don't use another lip balm, because this one is just perfection. I often use it in combination with lip stick, because lip stick is so dry. You immediately feel the effect on the lips. I noticed a lot of people hate the smell. It's also available in cherry but I think it actually smells even worse, haha.

3) BB cream

You probably heard of this "miraculous" cream, the BB cream. Well, actually, for me, it really worked. My skin is so much more smooth and even. It have less pimples too. So, I definitely recommend it. I buy Garnier because it's a mix of cream and foundation. I also tried Olaz, but I prefer Garnier (less expensive too!). Soooo worth it. I apply it every day on my skin and then I use my HEMA concealer for my eyes. That's it!
Garnier, about 10 euro.

Sorry for the bad quality pictures! Took those with my compat camara during exams.

make-up routine

Hello darlings!

Some of you requested that I post about my make-up routine and actually I mostly don't wear any make-up! I just hate to remove the make-up at night and my skin doesn't really like make-up! Also, I like the natural, beachy, Californain surfer look. So very, natural and neutral and without lots of color. If I do wear color it's on my lips (never eyes!); a bit of red lipstick or soft pink lip gloss (not too much). I usually steal the concealer or mascara of my mom because she has some fancy stuff (Chanel, YSL, L'Oreal, Dior, Lancome, etc.), but I must say that I wear a lot of "cheap" make-up such as HEMA and they are very good! Here are the products I use:

Concealer:
HEMA! I have tried a lot of concealers and I must say HEMA
is very good and it's so cheap! Another favorite is the one I'm
wearing on this picture is Lancome "Touche Eclat" (but money,
money, money - 32,40 euro). One I really didn't like was the
Garnier roller, in my opinion it sucked!

Foundation
I don't use liquid foundation because it's to thick and grassy in
most case and my skin doesn't "like" it, so I use Dream Matte
Mousse from Maybelline (my ultimate favourite)!

Mascara
My two favourite mascara's are Telescopic from L'Oreal and
Dior Show Mascara. Not the cheapest, but what I do is I buy
a cheap mascara for the liquid and use the brushes of the
Telescopic and the Dior show!

Eyeliner
I rarely but eyeliner and if I do I borrow from someone. I
have some from uknown brands and I don't really care!

Bronzer
I bought years ago a bronzer from HEMA and I still have it.
I don't wear it often, that's why! It works very good, but
there are some glitters in it (in lots of HEMA products
actually) and I don't like that.

Lipstick
Mostly I wear those of my mom, because, again, she buys
nice brand, but she always were soft pink and sometimes
I just want some deep dark red, so I bought a lipstick at
HEMA (nr. 65) and I loooove it. I think I paid 3,5 euro!

wearing:
concealer & foundation - Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse
mascara - Telescopic from L'Oreal
lip gloss - Dior
bronzer - HEMA
jumper - Pimkie
