SPRING HAS SPRUNG

Hello gorgeous readers,


Before we start, I know this article has the most cliché title ever but it just sounds fun, amiright? Spring has indeed sprung and the weather has been lovely here in Brussels. It just makes me wanna wear all kinds of floral prints and go outside. This time of the year I usually wear less make-up. You can find my spring favourites below.

Product details:

* ELF blush quad: I am OBSESSED with these blushes. They are so pigmented and stay on all day. They actually come in two different palettes, a darker and a lighter one. I bought both, don't tell anyone!
* Aqua Petit Jelly from Holika Holika: There are no words for how much I love this product. It's a BB cream in a jelly-like consistency. It's so light on your skin, you sometimes forget you have it on! It's perfect if you want some coverage but not too much so this is my go-to product during Spring & Summer! I use a Sephora make-up sponge to apply the BB cream. (I will do a full blog post on this sponge since I LOVE it so much!)
* Clear Complexion from Rimmel: I don't usually powder after putting on BB cream but when I especially want it to stay all day, I use this powder. It doesn't have any colour and definitely not heavy on my face.
*  Archery from Soap&Glory: Ahhh, the brows, not too sure when everyone became obsessed with filling in brows, but it's a must in my make-up routine! It has one felt tip pen and one pencil to help you achieve the perfect brows.
* Dior TUTU eyeshadow quad: first of all, cutest little thing EVER! I love these light, pink colours. I usually go for more subtle eyeshadow looks during spring.
* They're Real push-up eyeliner from Benefit: Y'all know I love a cat-eye look so this spring favourites would not be complete without some kind of eyeliner! I have a love-hate relationship with this product. It can create the most perfect wing on one day, and on other days I just have to wipe it off and start over. Maybe it's just me who can't draw wings. Oh well.
* Lights, Camera, Splashes from Tarte: I already mentioned that I love this product in another article. If you want to read that, click here. I love it for everyday wear but would not recommend it if you want to go for a dramatic look. I like the waterproof version because it curls better with my Revlon eyelash curler.

What are your favourites? Comment down below and I might try out some of the products!

Hope you liked this,

much love

My (daily) makeup essentials

Hi lovies,

Read this article to find out what make up I use on a daily base, maybe there’s something you’d like to use as well ;-) definitely let me know what products you use a lot! I’d be happy to find out more about your makeup habits! :-)

 

Kiehl’s – Micro-Blur Skin Perfector

I use this skin smoother in between my moisturizer and foundation. It minimizes my pores and I feel like this is the perfect base for my makeup.

Maybelline – FIT me

This foundation has thought me that not all good products have to be expensive. It’s the best foundation I’ve ever used. And it was only 14 euro! The product comes in a lot of different shades, that’s how I got to find my perfect FIT. Nr. 225 looks like my own skin, no other shade has ever done that for me.

PS: I apply my foundation with a beauty blender and afterwards I dab my face with a regular makeup sponge.

Essence – Stay natural concealer

In order to hide my under eye circles, I use this concealer. It’s an extremely cheap product which does its job well enough for me to continue using it. But I’m not highly recommending it. 

M.A.C – Studio Sculpt Defining Powder (Dark Deep)

This powder is usually used as a contouring powder, but it can also be used as a bronzer. And that’s how I use it. It’s been given to me as a present, and I’m really happy with it. I’m surely buying another one, once I used this one up. 

Hema – Terra bronzing powder

When I feel like I need a little bit of a highlight, I use this product. It’s maybe odd to use a bronzer as a highlighter, but the Terra bronzing powder doesn’t do its job in a good way. It’s not strongly pigmented, that’s why it only adds a little bit of a sparkle to my skin.

By the way, Hema is a Dutch company, so I don’t think Hema’s products are available worldwide. 

2B – Longwear eyeliner

Again, this is a product I’m not too excited about. But it works for me, so I’m not complaining. 

Essence – Get BIG Lashes

A lot of my friends told me that this is the best mascara on the market. That’s why I bought it. I’ve only been using it for two days now, so I’m not ready to totally agree with my friends yet. However, I will give an update on this one. :-)

Essence – Lash & Brow gel mascara

I need this product. Every. Day. I don’t fill in my eyebrows, because I have really dark and full eyebrows. But I use this gel to tame them a little bit. It works wonders for me. 

Let us know what products you often use! Byeee - Amal
