July Favourites & Wishlist

BOURJOIS Healthy Mix Foundation  50 Rose Ivory  Still one of my favourite foundations and one of those that works for me no matter the season or condition of my skin. It's a natural looking formula that doesn't looks makeup-y, nor does it emphasise uneven texture, dry patches, big pores or lines, but that's on my normal-dry skin, I don't know how it works on an oily one. It evens out the complexion and creates a healthy looking finish. I really need to go get that shade 50,5 I've been meaning to.   REVLON VOLUMazing Mascara Waterproof  I rave about Essence I <3 Extremes a lot, but I've had this mascara for a while now and I think I like it more, at least that's how I felt when I picked up Essence's mascara after a while and seen how they compare. Revlon's brush is more manageable because it's smaller, it builds up the volume quicker and the formula doesn't feel as drying for the lashes as Essence. The latter is still cheaper and kinda win...

CATRICE Liquid Liner Matte 010 Dating Joe Black The eyeliner that I've been using for years. Very black, matte, lasts well and the applicator holds a lot of colour, so I don't have to keep dipping it during application. I've used up a ton so far and I'll keep repurchasing it.  Repurchase: Done.  ESSENCE The Dip Eyeliner Waterproof The applicator ruined this for me, but the formula is very similar to Catrice. The shorter and harder, less precise tip didn't always deposit the product that well, instead it occasionally removed it, so an even application wasn't as swift as with Catrice. However, with a bit extra effort you can get a great application, so it's useful.  Repurchase: No, I rather pay a bit more for Catrice.  CV Pink Glow Serum & Primer A light serum with vitamin C and hyaluronic acid that I was using every morning. This was my second bottle. It has the tinniest shimmer that creates a very natural, subtle glow that doesn't look like all thos...

L.O.V. BLUSHment Blurring Blush 010 Be the Game Changer

I'm still a big fan of this formula and I consider them the best blushes I've tried, though I stick mostly to the cheap ones, but I have a couple of more expensive ones from Nars, TheBalm, Lancome and Dior, and L.O.V. wins compared to those. I had three in my collection and this is the fourth, I've had it for a while, but only now got round to posting a review. These blushes are kind of hard to get, but worth it if you get the chance. Texture: These are baked blushes and they have the smoothest and most silky formula I've tried. Shades 010 has tiny shimmer in it, just like 050 and 060. All three have this healthy glow on the cheeks and it looks amazing. Pigmentation of shade 010 is just like at other great and it applies nicely no matter what brush I use.   Shade: 010 Be the Game Changer is a more true pink that 050, but it's still a warm one. It swatches less pale than 050, but they have the same level of intensity on the face. Both might come off as too pale on...
