Summer Make Up Bag

Here's my make up bag right now. I bought it today from a shop called Day. It's made by Fluff. There was other ones too but for some reason I really wanted that one. I normally wouldn't have got something like that but I really liked it because it is edgy and has attitude. Also I love the pin up girl thing and leopard print has been huge for some time.

So now to the actual products:

Maybelline The One By One Volume Express in "brown"? (are they all brown?)
GOSH Intense Lip Colour in "301"
Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick in "Nude Delight"
Ziaja Lip Balm in "Orange Butter"
GOSH Lip Gloss in "0083"
Skin79 BB Cream in "VIP Gold Collection"
Maybelline Dream Touch Cream Blush in "Peach"
The Body Shop Facial Blotting Tissue in "Tea Tree Oil"
Diesel Perfume in "Fuel for Life"

EXTRA! Ziaja is a cosmetic brand I came accross when I went to this shopping mall I hadn't been to before. It's a really great, affordable brand with great product lines. Do check out!

More Stuff 2 Put On Your Face

So I got some more stuff... Now that I think about it, if I had been more patient I could have been just fine with only one. But.... I just couldn't wait for my new BB Cream to get on the mail so I ended up trying the Maybelline Dream Satin Liquid.

Skin79 Pink Super Plus Blemish Balm BB Cream

Before you even try the product, you have to embrace all the things it provides in only one bottle. The only thing I wasn't looking forewards to was the whitening effect. As a western girl I've learned to admire tanned skin, especially since I live in a country where summers are short. Also since I'm not asian, white skin will and does look unhealthy on me because people over here have very thin skin. This means that all my blood vessels will show even on my face if I'm skinny and fair skinned.

And back to the product itself. I wanted a BB Cream that is good to Oily and Combinated skin since the one I bought before[Lioele BB Cream] is too moisturizing for me at the moment. I can only use it during winter. So I put the Pink Super(Super Pink sounds better) on my face and I had good and bad surprises with it.

Firstly the smell was like an old womans perfume but I could tolerate it. Also it would face away after the BB Cream setteled on my face. Also when I squeezed it out the cream was coming from everywhere. I wonder if other people have this problem?

The good things I noticed were that the coverage was really good and the color evened out my skintone which is kind of reddish. Also even though the Maybelline one is supposed to hide your pores, I think the BB Cream did an even better job at that. Also it looked nice like it didn't need powder.

Maybelline Dream Satin Liquid

I saw the commercial and since I'm so touchy about my pores, so of course I wanted to hide them with this. Also I had seen so many girls rave about it on Youtube and especially this one girl looked so flawless with it.

It didn't have a scent and the color was nice. Though when I applied it to my skin, it ended up looking oily. Powder did fix it a little bit but I wasn't pleased. Also the tiny bumps that I did have on my skin looked bigger and it looked caky. This will propably look better if you have normal skin that is perfect. In other words it's like meant for people who don't need foundation.

So definitely if you still wonder if you should get a BB Cream, just DO IT! It's better, cheaper and in the long run more healthier for your skin.

P.S. About the background. I do have that perfume but it's not my favorite. I just wanted to add some color into the picture.

New Maybelline!

Finally, FINALLY the new Pearl shades hit the store over here. So of course I had to get some! These are from the Color Sensational line that at least in my opinion, has given more quality to drug store products. A lot of the colors are very wearable. I like the lip glosses even though I'm a bigger fan of matte products. So I'll talk about the products I got individually.

Color Sensational Pearl Lipstick in "Pearly Pearl"
I have to say that when I saw the actual color, I was a little scared. Luckily it doesn't give you a "corpse look" like a stronger pigmented lipstick propably would have. It compliments your own lip color very well. If you would like a nudy lipstick instead of a lip gloss, this would be for you. Also it's perfect for example your school/work make up bouch.

Color Sensational Cream Gloss in "Nude Pearl"
Before I even tried it on, the lovely scent made me decide that I'm gonna take it. When I put it on for the first time even my husband said: "You smell like America. It's so good and juicy!". I mean if someone who sees you every day compliments on something, it must be making a difference in your appearance! I also like the fact that the color is very pigmented and nude but has tiny sparkles. Very wearable! Also I have to give a huge plus for the applicator.

Guess What...

Just when you thought after seeing my Foundation Edition that "man that girl has a lot of foundations, she propably doesn't even use/need them all"... I bought another foundation x) BUT before you judge me I'll tell you what happened.

Last night I was feeling bad because no matter how many foundations I have, I don't have anything for hot summer days like the ones right now. My skin is combination skin so during summer it's oily and during winter it's mostly dry. I have foundations for winter and spring/fall weathers because it's more cold than warm. Summer is very short over here so it's better to invest in colder weather condition. Such as people have more heaters here than airconditioning eguipments in their houses all year long.

And now for the actual products. I've always liked Biotherm cleaning products and I love the packages. Also it's a higher end cosmetic line but not as expensive as Lancome. So last night I was browsing for a good mousse foundation because I like the feeling Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse gives but it's bad for my pores. Anyway I bumped to the Biotherm foundation that tightens pores and gives matte finish for 10 hours. Also it doesn't clog your pores like Maybelline. Exactly what I wanted for summer.

So we went shopping today with my husband and there was this final sale in this big store. And I find the Matte Pur 70% off. Come on, it had to be fate! xD The thing is though that it's not exactly my skin color(it's shade "140") but when it dries it just looks like I have a foundation on that gives a little bit of color for my pale face. Also it feels like you have nothing on after it dries and your skin gets so soft. Did I mention 70% off? I'll propably go back for another one xD

The Rimmel Match Perfection is the best thing for under your eyes. It's not heavy and lightens up the area under your eyes. So definitely try since it's cheap too! Mine's in "010 Ivory"

Foundation Edition

So here's ALL of my foundations that I have at the moment. Some are good, some are just bad x) But I'm too cheap to throw them away since I used money on every one of them. And about the Shiseido Refill foundation. I just thought I would by it because it was so cheap even though I didn't get the case. And right after I finished making this post, the Rimmel foundation went back in the garbage bag where it belongs x)
