Favorites: Winter 2022 |Makeup, Perfumes, Skincare & Haircare| (EN)

Hello everyone ❤

I was kind of concerned whether I should post this, keeping in mind what’s going on around, but I decided to publish it in case someone needs to read something casual & relieving, right?! If you are this person, then keep on reading 😊

I decided to start posting seasonal favorites again and keeping in mind spring is right around the corner I want to share with you some of my favorite makeup, skincare, haircare and fragrance favorites. I want to write more about skincare because do not wear makeup on daily bases anymore and skincare is my priority for the past 2 years.

Let’s start with makeup:

Lumene CC Cream 

in the shade Medium

I already have full review on this CC cream here and I included it in my yearly favorites here. It has light coverage, looks natural and it’s great to wear on daily basis.

Bell HYPOAllergenic Nude Liquid Powder

 in the shade 02 Light Beige

I also wrote about this powder in my Best Of 2021 post, it’s a liquid powder for real and when applied on the skin magically transfers into fine powder and adds medium coverage and matte finish, but it’s super light at the same time. Great for oily skin!

Bell HYPOAllergenic Liquid Eye Concealer 

in the shade 02 Medium

Review on the liquid powder + this concealer will be up very soon. This concealer has medium coverage, looks natural and has great staying power and I used it regularly in the winter.

Trend IT UP Expert Finish loose powder

 in the shade 010 Universal

Highly mattifying, clear fixing powder that is very suitable for oily and mixed skin. I’m using it for setting my above mentioned products and it ensure flawless matt look for longer.

alverde setting spray

This spray has light & watery consistency, fine spritzer, does not smudge my makeup when sprayed over, it’s not sticky and it does not feel heavy on the skin. I’m using it regularly and my makeup looks great for longer, but the best part is that its ingredients are natural and certificated.

Makeup Revolution brow pomade

in the shade Ash Brown

I really like this pomade – it’s fairly pigmented and it’s super easy to work with, you can’t overdone your brows with it and the shade is perfect match for my hair and skin: ash-y medium brown. Longevity on my skin is good, I’m impressed!

trend IT UP mascara base N1

This primer is actually presented as lash foundation and it’s flesh toned, it has thick consistency and it’s easy to apply on the lashes and it definitely makes them longer and fuller.

L’oreal Paris mascara Unlimited

My favorite mascara! I can’t stop raving about it, it’s the best I ever tried: adds volume, length, definition, curl and does not smudge.

Bell HYPOAllergenic Longwear automatic eyeliner in the shade 01 Black

Classic black automatic eyeliner which I apply in my upper waterline to make my lashes appear thicker. It’s pitch black, it has good longevity and it’s not smudging.  

trend IT UP Contour & Glide lip liner

in the shade 420

Soft automatic lipliner with high coverage, good longevity and fresh spring shade – nice peachy nude, that makes my complexion so put together.  

Bell HYPOallergenic Longwear automatic lip liner

in the shade 03 and lipstick Creamy Nude in the shade Praline Cream

For this lip combo I have full review here Both products are in warm caramel nude shades, have good opacity and longevity and are great tandem for wintertime.

Maybelline Lifter Gloss

in the shade 009 Topaz

Those lipglosses are such a hit and I believe they’re worth it! Topaz is semi-clear and highly shiny nude lipgloss that has no particles but makes the lips like a glass! It’s not sticky at all, it has good longevity and it pairs perfectly any lipstick or lip liner. I mostly worn it in combination with the trend IT UP lip liner on the contour of my lips.  

Rimmel Super Gel nail polish

in the shade 031 FAB and 050 Fatal Fling

In the wintertime I mainly wore these two nail polishes:  031 FAB is in bright raspberry shade and 050 Fatal Fling is black cherry one.

 

Moving forward to skincare:

Frudia My Orchard Mochi face foam with acai berry

I love these face foams – I had the mango one and then the peach one, now I’m using this acai berry one. Gently removes makeup, it’s not drying, not irritating on the eyes or skin and I love it.  

Nivea Energy micellar water with Vitamin С

I’m literally obsessed with Vitamin C products – thanks to them my skin is glowing! This micellar water removes gently any makeup, it’s not irritating on the eyes or skin, it’s not sticky and I’ll repurchase it for sure.  

The Ordinary glycolic acid 7% solution

Every winter I’m using this toner regularly – purifies my skin, evens out the skin tone, lightens up any hyperpigmentation and if used correctly, my skin feels like brand new afterwards.  

Alteya Organics rose water

I’m using this rose water instead of toner – lightly spritzing on my face and décolleté and then I’m applying serum, cream and so on. This one I like and I’m using quite regularly and works great on my skin: adds freshness, hydration and nourishes.

Nature of Agiva peel off face mask with active charcoal and rose

This is my new favorite peel of mask – clarifies my pores really deep and minimizes them, mattifyes and evens out my skintone and it’s great for oily skin. Recommend!

Sephora The Heating Mask sheet mask

with sauna effect

This mask really has nice and warming sauna effect, it’s super hydrating and makes my skin soft, elastic and nourished. It’s super nice to have it on after a long day when you crave some warmness and coziness ❤

IKAROV winter nourishing face oil

with orange and calendula

I already posted about this winter oil here It has thick formula, soft orange scent, hydrates, nourishes and soothes my skin after exposure on the cold weather and I also like to add it into my body lotion for additional hydration. Great product for dry skin or for skin, that is sensitive to cold exposure.

REVOX eye cream with avocado and rose water

This cream has thick, rich and fluffy consistency, strongly nourishing action on the skin and it’s good pick for you if you’re looking for strong hydration in the eye area.

Farmskin Superfood For Skin toner

 and emulsion with mangosteen

I’m really impressed by this Korean duo! The toner has somehow gel like consistency that isn’t sticky on the skin and makes it super soft, nourished and hydrated, while the emulsion is pretty light and great for daily care for oily skin. I like them a lot but they are a bit hard to find, keep this in mind.

Lipsmaker Cherry Coca-Cola lip balm

Super cute lip balm with Cherry Coke taste and scent that my brother gifted me ❤ Beside the fantastic scent this balm it’s also deeply nourishing, non-sticky and I used it a lot in the cold months. So good!

Frudia night lip mask with mango and honey

This lip mask has the texture of thick and non-sticky lip balm, smells nice on mango and honey and feels super nourishing on the lips. When applied at night, in the morning you wake up with soft, fluffy and conditioned lips.  

IKAROV winter hand balm with shea and cinnamon

I already wrote about this hand balm here This small packaging I carry with me in my bag and the big one I keep at home and I use it on my hands, cuticles, elbows, knees and heels. It softens any dry patches and smells amazing on orange honey cake.  

Frudia hand cream with cactus fig

Frudia’s hand creams are the best! They have thick but non-sticky formula, hydrate my skin so well and they have such a variety of scents to choose from. I’m using them all the time and this time I bought the cactus fig one because I enjoy the tarty smell.

Dove shower gel with maple syrup and oat milk

I assume this shower gel is a new addition because I’ve never seen it around. Smells nicely on maple syrup, it’s super gentle on the skin and it’s great pick for wintertime or if your skin is sensitive to harsh body washes.

Let’s take a look at the perfumes I used the most:

Guerlain La petite Robe noire EDP

I have full review on it here Sour cherries, liquery sweetness, almonds and licorice, really luxurious scent with great longevity that is especially beautiful in the winter time ❤

Lanvin ME EDP

This one resembles the La petite Robe noire in general but here the main note is blueberry. It’s even more long-lasting and strong and in the cold time is especially impressing. I have in depth review on it here

Bee Beauty Miss Violet EDP

This one is a gift from my mama – she knows that violets are my favorite flowers and as she saw the tittle Miss Violet she immediately bought it for me.  Smells like jasmine, orange flower, vanilla and pralines, it’s impressively longlasting and has great sillage. Such a nice winter scent that always gets me so many compliments. You need to give it a try! Here is a link to it: Bee Beauty Kadın EDP Miss Violet 50 ml (gratis.com)

And finally some haircare products I enjoyed:

Matrix So Sleek smoothing shampoo with shea

In the winter my hair gets even more frizzy and on top of this it’s super long and with dry lengths so I wanted to find smoothing, hydrating shampoo and I find it – Matrix So Sleek.  After shampooing with it I can skip the conditioner – my hair is soft, smooth and I can comb it with just my fingers. It’s so good!

TIGI Bed Head Get Twisted anti-frizz hair spray

In case you don’t know who is the person with the frizziest hair on Earth – nice to meet you, that’s me! My hair is always frizzy no matter what I do, because it has high porosity and absorbs a lot of damp. Especially in the winter time and whenever there is rain, snow or humidity if I straightened it – it gets curly and if it’s curled – it becomes straight. This anti-frizz spray has light consistency and hairspray like fixation, but somehow sticks to the hair without feeling heavy and my hair stays put in however I styled it, thanks to it. For me is must-have for humid days.

These were my winter favorites, which are yours?
