Favoris 2014

Comme j'adore lire ce genre de post, j'ai décidé de faire aussi le mien: mes produits préférés de 2014!

Hum... Pas facile de ne garder qu’un produit par catégorie...

C'est parti!

Makeup

Fond de teint – Plutôt une BB crème car je ne suis pas adepte du fond de teint et de la couvrance. Par contre je ne dis pas non à un teint légèrement unifié. Kielh´s a enfin sorti la BB crème  en teinte medium en 2014 (avant, elle n'existait qu'en fair et light, 2 teintes trop clair pour moi).

Elle est parfaite pour ma carnation et a un Spf élevé, donc géniale en été. Et surtout, elle ne rend pas mon teint grisâtre comme peut le faire d'autres BB crèmes. Le rendu est très naturel.

Le prochain? Le Cushion compact de la marque Etude house, une marque Coréenne qu'il me tarde d'essayer.

Correcteur – Maybelline cache-cernes yeux anti-âge en teinte Medium. Elle est assez transparente et fond quasiment  sur la peau dès la pose tout en faisant le job. Je l'applique avec l'embout mousse et l'estompe soit au doigt, soit avec la deluxe crease brush de Real Techniques. Introuvable à Paris (victime de son succès?), j'ai acheté aux US cet été.

Le prochain? Le RMS un cover concealer, une version plus green

Poudre - Ma poudre MAC Sheer powder en teinte NC40, mon basique que je porte parfois seul avec mon correcteur.

Le prochain? La invisible loose powder de Laura Mercier que j'ai déjà mais que je dois me résoudre à utiliser plus souvent. Je la trouve parfaite au niveau du rendu mais je ne suis pas fan du packaging poudre libre, surtout lorsque je suis pressée le matin, autant dire tout le temps.

Blush - Mon Blush Tarte Exposed. Le blush rose nude naturel et pas prise de tête. Très bonne tenue, je l'adore tout simplement.

Le prochain? Le magnifique blush prisme de Givenchy n*3 Aficionado Peach. Un bijou que j'ai eu pour mon anniversaire, j'ai tellement hâte de l'utiliser! En alternance avec le Exposed de Tarte, tantôt rose, tantôt pêche.

Mascara – sans hésitation, le Volume noir waterproof de Chanel. Parfait le jour de mon mariage, c'est le meilleur mascara au monde! Rien que ça! Et pourtant j'en ai eus des mascaras que j'ai aimé: Maxfactor, l'Oréal Miss Manga, Covergirl, Dior iconic, Chanel Inimitable, Bourjois volumizer...

Le prochain? Too faced Better than sex, rien que pour voir ce qu'il a dans le ventre

Bronzer -j'adore les bronzers mats que j'utilise un peu façon contouring.

Difficile de choisir car j'aime tous ceux que j'ai: Chanel les beiges, Nyc sunny bronzer, Blush harmony, Bronzer Laura Mercier, multiple Nars... Je me lance quand même et je choisis le Chanel les Beiges multiple en teinte n*2 pour le packaging et côté tellement luxueux, et la polyvalence du produit.

Le prochain: le Bronzer clarins édition Brazil, il est énorme! (20g)  et tellement joli et mat! Je vais en avoir pour 107 ans!

Enlumineur – le MAC Soft and gentle que j'aime d'amour même si je le trouve très poudreux. Je suis en train de bien de creuser.

Le prochain? Le Hourglass Radiant light que je possède déjà mais je ne lui laisse que très peu de chance d'être utilisé tellement je me jette sur le MAC MSF Soft and gentle systématiquement.

Fards à paupières – palette naked 1 Urban Decay. La basique, valeur sûre et les couleurs qui me correspondent complètement.

Le prochain? La palette Lorac Pro 1, que j'ai commandé sur Amazon. Trop belle, je n'ai pas osé l'utilisé encore.

Lipstick - Dragon girl de Nars Matte velvet pencil, tellement chic et mon amoureux adore!

Le prochain? Nars audacious Rita, un rouge toujours. Tellement crémeux et agréable à porter!

Les produits favoris 2014 de soin (visage, corps, cheveux...) seront dans le prochain post!

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.
