Empties Dec 2014

Nars eye primer: it lasts me for ages (around 18 months), the best that I've used so far! Transparent, a must have if you have oily skin. Plus, it enhances the color of your eyeshadows. Repurchase? Yes, for sure.

Urban Decay (Naked) : from the first Naked palette. I used it quicker than any other ones and like non-stop. Perfect for the color of my eyelids. Repurchase? No, not for the moment as I have similar ones or alternatives in other palettes for the crease area.

Mac Hue Lipstick: glaze finish. a quite sheer nude color, more on the pink side. The satin power is not there but do we care? Repurchase? No, I'd rather buy a slightly darker shade

Mac Viva Glam V lipstick: lustre finish. A "my lips but better" shade, nude browny, easy to wear and low maintenance, but maybe a bit too shiny for me. Repurchase?  No, as I have many others to try on my list.

Mac Matte Bronzer: it's a matte bronzer ;). It´s very pigmented so a little goes a long way. I've never really heard people talking about it and maybe that´s because it is not bad but it is not fantastic either, and there is plenty of other better matte bronzer in the market. Repurchase? No, for the reason mentioned above

Mac Select moisture cover NW25: very moisturizing under eyes concealer which I recommend if you have dry to normal skin. My first concealer ever. There are still some products inside but I stopped using it as soon as I notices a strange smell from the tube 6 months after I first opened it.

And finally last but not least,

Cire trudon candle in Manon: this is the holly grail candle to me, the one and only reference since I got one the first time for my birthday 5 years ago. Not especially this scent but the Cire Trudon candles are THE best of the world. First the history of the company which exists and provides the Chateau de Versailles for centuries, then the high quality of the vegetable wax all made in France (the only candles that, according to my husband, do not irritate his sensitive eyes...), and finally the mutiple scents, all very subtil and delicate. Of course, no need to say how chic the glass and packaging are!

Manon is described as the "clean laundry" and this is exactly it!

I've been burning a lot of these babies for 5 years and have kept the glasses as brush holders, pen holders, cotton pads holders...

Repurchase? Yes, again, again and again...

Face of the day

Base: Gemey Maybelline Age rewind concealer in Medium

I apply it only under the eyes and around the nose where y skin need a little bit of converage. This concealer is super light and natural.

Brows: Anastasia Beverly Hills in Ash medium.

My all-time favorite for brows, perfect color for me.

Eyes: Gemey Maybelline color tatoo in Pomegranate, nice color for fall, easy to apply with 1 finger and to blend with an other finger. Done in 2 sec!

Shu uemura eyelash curler, the best

Cheeks: Tarte Amazonian clay in Exposed. Natural color for cheeks, seems very nude in the pan but appears dusty rose. So pretty for any time of the year

Lips: Nars matte velvet lip pencil in Dragon girl, I love this luminous matte red, stays not all day but almost

5 products, 1 tool in 5 min.

Great, no?

Cheers!

TAG: The Lipstick Tag

1// How many lipsticks do you own?
I have 20. That´s a lot in my opinion.
You don't need that many, so I can't even imagine how youtubers and bloggers can own like 80, 100 or 150 lipsticks. I fully understand if you are a make up artist, and it´s part of your make up kit, but 150 lipsticks for one face is just insane and not hygienic. (Anyone else agrees with me?)

2// What was the first lipstick you owned?
My first lipstick was a true red Chanel Rouge Coco in Gabrielle.
A that time, I was really new to makeup and lipsticks and I thought if I had to own one lipstick, it should be a true red.
I don't wear it that often and it´s quite dated now... (Since 2009?) So I keep it but not really use it.
 

Chanel Rouce Coco - Gabrielle

3// What is your favourite lipstick brand?
From high end, I would say Chanel and Georgio Armani. For the packaging, the color range and the quality.
From highstreet/drugstore, Revlon and Rimmel Kate Moss collection.

Rouge d'Armani (400) and Rimmel Kate Moss Matte (111)

4// What is your most worn lipstick?
Definitely Chanel rouge coco shine Boy. The perfect everyday lipstick, not too nude, not too pink: my lips but better shade.
I discovered it while watching at Lisa Eldridge's videos, which I love. She's a reference to me and I learnt a lot about makeup and skincare with her videos.

Chanel Rouge Coco Shine - Boy

5// What is your favourite finish?
I think it´s cremesheen because it´s moisturizing and low maintenance.
(So lazy...)

6// What was the last lipstick you bought?
Does Fresh Sugar lip balm in Cherry count as a lipstick?
If not, then it´s Nars Dolce vita lipstick, an other everyday / "my lips but better" lippy, perfect for Autumn time.

7// How many lip products do you currently have in your bag?
3. A lip gloss (Laura Mercier), lipstain (YSL vernis à lèvres) and a balm (EOS)

8// What is your favourite red lip colour?
I like a red to wear alone when you want to look awake while you're not. So frenchy to do so, I guess.
2 options from my collection:
Rimmel Kate Moss 111 or Georgio Armani in 401 (bright red orange)

9// How do you store your lipsticks?
I have the standard Muji drawers that everyone has! Very original...

10// Which lipsticks are you currently lusting after?
Tom Ford Spanish Pink and Georgio Armani red 400.
