my daily make - up essentials

Hello lovelies :)

This post was meant to be an everyday natural make - up "tutorial", but somehow there was a quite shitty light throughout the whole week so I wasn´t able to take useful pics. I´ve tried it also today, but these photos turned out to be even worse. :D
So I´ve got an idea to write a post about my daily make - up essentials. These are those products which I use on the daily basis and they make up the base of various looks I wear.
So let´s hop right in :)
And the products are....


1. Foundation: surprise - surprise!!! Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation in 303 True Nude
There is nothing more to say about it as I´ve made a review on it, which you may find here


2. Concealers: Allround Concealer palette by Catrice - I don´t use the green one very often as I don´t have redness on my face, but the other colours are used every day, I cover dark circles with the pink one, other colours are used mainly for highlighting and for concealing the imperfections of my skin.
I use the Light - Reflecting Concealer to conceal the dark circles under my eyes. I´ve mentioned before that I have huuuge circles under my eyes and this thing is pretty amazing for covering them, my shade is 030 Rosy Beige.
Make Up Factory´s concealer is very good for the area under my nose, I don´t know why but I have very dark skin under my nose so I have to use a lighter colour than I need. Unfortunately, I threw out the little box it came in so I have no other information about it.


3. Eye Shadow Base:  I use a Gosh waterproof eye shadow base in 001 Matt. It is my third stick, at first I was quite impressed by it, but now I don´t know it seems to me that it lost it´s function. It causes smudging of my mascara and also the eye shadows do not stay as long as I am used to. I plan a trip to the store where I usually purchase it and I will certainly ask what is wrong with it, maybe I would try another one after these experiences.
                                                          (sorry for the packaging :D )

4. Powder and blush: I use this Rimmel Match Perfection "ultra creamy compact powder" in 303 True Nude, again I would like to try a new one even though I am very satisfied with this one.
Gosh´s Multicolour Blush in 50 Pink Pie is one of the first blushes I have ever tried,since then I love it, it has a little glitter in it which is the reason I love it, but I have to purchase a new blush brush as I am not satisfied with my current blush. Maybe I would love this blush even more if I had an ultra - super brush with which I could put on my blush more nicely.


5. "Brow stuff": I use Avon´s eyebrow pencil in Dark Brown and Essence´s Lash & Brow Gel Mascara to tame my wild eyebrow :D Even though it is properly trimmed and I take care of it every weak it is very "naughty" so if I did not use eyebrow gel my eyebrow would be quite shaggy :D


6. "Eye stuff": I have chosen these three products as my daily essentials, Artdeco´s Soft Eye liner ( waterproof in shade no. 10) and Long Lasting Liner in no. 01 - these are the eye liners I am satisfied with since I´ve bought them, they don´t smudge, last whole day and are very pigmented, the third product is Catrice´s Kohl Kajal in 040 White, even though I use it on daily basis I am still very undecided whether I like it or not. I am going to be testing it till I decide whether it is a product worth buying more times. Now, I am more on the side " noo, I would not buy this again" :D

7. Mascara: I´ve bought this mascara only a few weeks ago and it immediately became my favourite :)
It is Maybelline´s One by One Volum´ Express Mascara in Satin Black, at first I wanted to buy one from the Falsies line but then I chose this one and I really don´t regret my choice.


8. Eye shadows: I own a very huge amount of eye shadows, but this palette is the one I choose when I am undecided what look would I love to wear that day. It is Gosh´s 22 Colours Eye Shadow Palette, unfortunately it is a limited edition from their Christmas collection, but I hope it will last until Christmas. It has matt and also shimmery colours so you can use it for more natural, but also for more "crazy" looks. As it is my daily palette, I use it mainly for creating natural looks.


So that´s it for my daily essentials, as you might noticed I haven´t mentioned lip products, I loooove to use lip sticks, lip glosses, lip balms so I wasn´t able to choose only one from each cathegory. I love to wear berry colours and reddish ones, nude lips weren´t made for me, but there are days when I love them too.
Maybe I will come up with a lip product post later :)
I will try to come up with the promised natural make - up in few days, but as I have an exam on tuesday I don´t know if I will have enough time, but I will try to do my best.

Until then I am sending You lot of kisses! :-*
And a big ´thank you´ for reading my blog, it makes me happy to see that you are interested in this blog :)

Bye, Carina...
