Hello everyone
♥
It is tradition
every summer to do a post about my most used makeup products that I use on
everyday bases. The previous post about my everyday makeup essentials you can
read here: http://preslavasbeautydiary.blogspot.bg/2016/07/revieweveryday-makeup-essentials-summer_22.html
and here:

Products are
divided in categories, so let’s start with
Face:
1. Bourjois
Air Mat Foundation in the shade
03 Beige Clair
Air Mat
seems to be my all-time
favorite foundation! You can read a full review on it here: http://preslavasbeautydiary.blogspot.bg/2017/06/reviewbourjois-air-mat-foundation-03_14.html It has non-drying matte finish, it looks super
natural on the skin, it has high longevity and the color selection is yellow
based.
Favorite of mine!
2.
Bourjois Loose Powder in the shade 01
Peach
Full review on
this powder you can read here:https://preslavasbeautydiary.blogspot.bg/2017/08/reviewbourjois-loose-powder-01-peach-en.html I am using it for almost 5
months and I have quite positive opinion about it.
It is transparent, mattifyes
finely without any drying, looks super natural on the face and sets the makeup.
Longevity isn’t super high but my face doesn’t look cakey or dry.
In cooler weather longevity
is definitely better but in the summer stays pretty good too.
It is available in the
shades – one more yellowish and the other is pinker, of course I got the yellow
one 01
Peach.
3.
Milani Baked Blush in the
shade Luminoso
Total favorite
of mine and you can read the full review on it here:
http://preslavasbeautydiary.blogspot.bg/2016/03/reviewmilani-baked-blush-05-luminoso-en.html
Mine is almost used up (as
you can tell from the pictures) and I have literally no chance to get a new one
so I am using the very last grams of it.
It is my all-time favorite
blush and the most popular product in the beauty world
:D The shade is golden-
peachy, it has satin finish, good longevity and the way it looks on the skin is
just mmm
♥ Sophisticated peachy golden
shade, blush and highlighter in one, universal shade that would suit everyone.
If you can get your hands on it, go - definitely recommended!
4. Highlighter
(monoeyeshadow)
NYX Wanderlust in the shade Transylvania
In
2017 I’ve found the
magic of the highlighters: D
You can read the full review on this single eyeshadow that I
am using as highlighter here: http://preslavasbeautydiary.blogspot.bg/2017/04/reviewnyx-soft-matte-lip-cream_28.html I
like applying it on the top of my cheekbones, on my cupid’s bow, in the middle
of my nose, under my browbone and even on my décolleté. The shine is really
fine and even, the shade is soft champagne and it looks amazing – the way light
reflects is stunning ♥ Longevity is also high, even on super oily skin like
mine.
As you can see
mine eyeshadow is really used and I’ll have to look for a dupe for it soon and
I hope NYX would add it to its collection as permanent product.
Eyes:
1.Eyeshadow palette
Sleek Oh So
Special
I wrote a lot about this palette on the blog and you can read the full
review on it here: http://preslavasbeautydiary.blogspot.bg/2015/03/reviewsleek-i-divine-oh-so-special_18.html. Oh So Special is still a favorite product although I
didn’t use it for a couple of months while I was using other eyeshadows from my
collection. Usually I don’t wear eyeshadows during the summer but this summer I
wear full eye makeup everyday at work – I apply light matte shade all over the
lid (I’m using whatever is left from the shade Bow), and then using fluffy
blending brush I mix The Mail with Boxed and apply it for a soft
daytime smokey eye in the outer V of the lid. Using an angled brush I apply
black matte eyeshadow (Noir) as an eyeliner, it defines my eyes but it doesn’t
look as harsh as the liquid eyeliner.
Packaging of the palette is awful! It’s broken and looks super cheap and
crappy – keep this in mind. It’s so broken that it stays only in my vanity – I
can’t bring it with me whenever I’m travelling because it’s completely broke.
The only time I bring it with me the shades Pamper, Gateau, Celebrate and Glitz broke and although I tried more than 10 times to fix them with rubbing
alcohol I couldn’t. I’ll update the post on the blog about the situation with
the packaging so that more of my readers can pay attention to it.
2. NYX
Wanderlust monoeyeshadow in the shade
Cannes
Review on the duo Cannes will be up soon but I couldn’t resist including
the eyeshadow in this post. Shade is
emerald – really, really beautiful ♥ The eyeshadow itself has an excellent quality but more about it you’ll
read very soon. Whenever I’m not wearing black eyeshadow I like to apply this
emerald green as an eyeliner. My eyes are hazel and the green in them is
identical emerald shade so this eyeshadow really makes them pop. I also wore it
a couple of times applied all over my mobile lid and blended with black for
green smokey eyes – it looks amazing ♥
3.
Maybelline Lash
Sensational Luscious Mascara
I haven’t bought other mascara than the classic Maybelline Lash Sensational (with pink cap) for over a year now and I
don’t know what made me buy the Luscious one (in black packaging). It is really
intense black but the brush is different and I much prefer the brush from the
original Lash Sensational. I like the bolder color (I mean..it is the blackest
black, right?!) and the fact that this didn’t smudge at all without being
waterproof at the same time (it is harder to remove but it is not as hard as
removing waterproof mascara). I want to mention that I use
the brush from the original Lash Sensation to apply the mascara, because the Luscious's brush isn't doing the best for my short, straight and blond lashes.
5.Essence Eyebrow Set #02 in the shade Natural Blonde
Style
Lips:
1.Lidl Cien
Tropical Lip Balm with Wild Hibiscus scent
Lip balms from Lidl’s Tropical collection turn out to be hit products and
I already own 2 of them. Mommy gave me the Wild Hibiscus one which I have to
admit I’ll probably was not gonna buy it myself (because wild hibiscus sounds
strange to me) but this has really nice sweet floral scent which I really,
really like and it feels on the lips after application. The lip balm itself is
really soft and mild but it doesn’t melt even in really hot weather, it softens
and nourishes the lips and it has great ingredients and doesn’t leave any color
on the lips. These lip balms are extremely good and I put them right next to
EOS in my personal favorites list, but these are even better than EOS as
action. I have painfully dry lips and I use lip balms on everyday bases. I need
good lip balms and these are top picks. I hope they’ll be soon part from Lidl’s
regular assortment and if this happens I’ll buy the regularly. Wild Hibiscus’s
scent is great and I’ll even search for another body care products that are
scented with it.
2.Lidl Cien
Tropical Lip Balm with Peach scent
Almost right after I received the Wild Hibiscus one I bought the Peach
scent as well – the Tropical collection is limited and I had to restock:D The 3rd
scent is pineapple but I’m not big fan of pineapples so I skip it (it smells
identical to fresh pineapple though) and bought the Peach one. It is identical
to the Wild Hibiscus one and the only difference is in the scent – juicy,
fragrant and really sweet peach, mmm! No artificial feeling in it,
only realistic ripe peach smell. I still can’t decide which one I like better
and if I found more of these somewhere I’ll definitely buy more.
3.S-he
Cosmetics Nude lip gloss
Strolling through my posts I saw that I don’t have review on lip gloss –
shame on me! It turns out I write thousands of posts about brown & nude
lipsticks and none about lip glosses :D I am also a lip gloss girl although
glosses aren’t trendy right now and everyone is crazy about the mattest matte
liquid lipstick (me, including :D) I always have at least 1 lip gloss in stock
for the days I want to switch from matte nude lips to matte glossy lips. I’ll definitely do a review on this lip gloss
because it is a hit product and nobody talks about it – pleasant texture, color
and feeling on the lips. Well, the scent is vanilla (you have no idea how much
I hate vanilla) The shade is very light and
pale nude – ala Kim Kardashian. If you are into this type of nude glosses with
no shimmers in it then definitely check this one (it is available only in DM as
far as I know).
4.Bourjois Rouge
Edition Velvet liquid lipstick in the shade Cool Nude
Bourjois is one of my all-time favorite brands but I hadn’t try any of
their lipsticks so far. My first try with Bourjois lipsticks is with the liquid
lipstick from the Rouge Edition Velvet line in the shade Cool Nude. Review will
be up soon and for now I’ll mention that the shade is classic light brown with
cool undertone, finish is matte, intensity is high and it is my go-to choice
for everyday –this lipstick literally lives in my handbag.
5.NYX Soft
Matte Lip Cream in the shade Addis Ababa
I recently posted a review on the duo Addis Ababa by NYX here: http://preslavasbeautydiary.blogspot.bg/2017/07/reviewnyx-soft-matte-lip-cream.html This lipstick is in bright
& bold Barbie shade, it looks great for the summer and I wear it quite a
lot during the summer in combination with black eyeliner, done with matte black
eyeshadow and angled brush.
6. NYX Soft
Matte Lip Cream in the shade Rome
This is my favorite lipstick by NYX from all that I own. You can read a
review on it here:http://preslavasbeautydiary.blogspot.bg/2017/08/reviewnyx-soft-matte-lip-cream_14.html The shade is bold brown with cool red undertone and probably
most of the women would classify it as fall shade, but for me Rome is universal
and suitable for everyday shade, it has that kind of grunge feel in it –
perfect for the 90’s trend at the moment. All-time favorite shade in general ♥
These were my favorite makeup products that I use in the summer on
everyday bases. Which are your favorites?
