MAKE UP, PINK MOUSE AND PUPPIES

I suppose you haven't guessed yet (looking at the pictures and the title) what this post is going to be about. Surprise, surprise - beauty products. Since lately I've been getting quite a lot of requests to show you my current makeup favourites and a few days ago I bought this cute mouse-alike makeup bag (honestly speaking, there are times when I just can't bear the cuteness of it anymore - I mean, carrying it in my bag it's like carrying a bunch of puppies with big brown loving eyes - the type of puppies you see on mugs or notebooks, sweet to an absolute death), I decided to write a little bit about things I use, things I like, things I can recommend without a doubt. I'm very lucky because I have a chance to use and try out many products but at the end of the day, when I empty all of the 'luxurious' stuff and have to buy something on my own, I always look for a cheaper alternative in a drugstore. I guess, before you spend a lot of money on a beauty product, it's good to check whether you can't have pretty much the same and pay ten times less. Of course, it's a personal preference. I, for instance, from time to time I take out my savings and when my birthday's coming (seriously, any excuse will go), I buy myself something like YSL lipstick. There's just a funny luxurious mist around it. It's called the magic of brand. No, it's actually called having your brain switched off for a moment. But that  is just the way it is.

 Last summer, when I wrote that huge post about lotions and potions, I told you that beauty for me is a topic that just opens our mouth. I openly admit that I really love beauty products, however weird and psycho it sounds, I just love looking at them. Honestly, I'm not that much into smearing all of the products on my face, I can't really use eyeshadows, I don't care about blush. I just adore looking at all this stuff. And having said that, I think it's high time I told you about my next obsession. Guys, it's really like a level-up of our friendship cause it's quite mental of me (not that my every mania is mental). I'm a Sephora addict. Not in a way, I go to Sephora and I buy ten thousand products and I leave. I don't actually buy anything. I just go there for a walk. I mean,  I just go there and I stand there. And I look at all these products. Everything is so organized, everything smells so nicely. I just feel so secure there. I told you it is mental. And when Holly Golightly would have her breakfast at Tiffany's because she just felt right there, I would totally eat it in Sephora.

 OK, since we are extremely close friends after my confession, it's time to present you my favorite products. I'll start with the only thing that I haven't found a cheaper alternative for. It's my tinted moisturizer. Dior Hydra Life Pro Youth Skin Tint in shade #1 - congrats for the longest name ever. I have extremely sensitive skin, it gets reds when it cold, it gets irritated when it hot, it doesn't like awful lot of ingredients and I swear, searching for something that my skin would tolerate was a traumatic experience (I mean it). I tried everything, from drugstore to high end, from foundation to powder and tinted moisturizer and I found this one only working and being super gentle for my skin. Next is a very nice powder (Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Sheer Powder nr 50 - congrats for the longest name ever part 2)  that I got thanks to Chanel company. I use it only on my cheeks as a bronzer, I think it's the product with the biggest lasting power I've had plus, it smells so good. It smells so good I could smell it all day. But I don't, because it would be just...weird. And inappropriate. And that's it for the face. When it comes to eyes, I use two products - brown eyepencil and mascara. I really like Miss Sporty Kohl Kajal in 002 and Maybelline The Falsies Flared mascara. Since I have extremely dry lips, lately I've been using an awful lot of lipbalms. I also have an awful lot of vanilla candles in my room. I just love this smell. So I went to a drugstore one day, I saw Nivea Lip Butter in Vanilla and when I thought that finally my dreams would come true and I would be able to carry a vanilla scent everywhere, I died. I mean, I didn't, but I ended up buying it and loving it. It smells just like my candles (and that makes me super happy) and when it comes to moisturizing, it's far better than Carmex (that makes me super happy as well). And that would be all for my everyday makeup.

 When it comes to my nails, most of the time I stick to a very neutral nail polish like the one from Rimmel (Rimmel Lycra Pro 444 French Lingerie - these names are killing me, who wants to wear the color of their panties on their nails. It's quite confusing). I also really like Essie nail polish ( Essie 89 Raspberry) that I got from lovely girls from a shop 30 ml. Its color is the prettiest pink plus its name...is the prettiest too :)

A couple of months ago I told you I hated red lipsticks. Well, I haven't changed my mind, because I still don't like them. I don't like the texture of a lipstick and I don't like that you have to think about it all the time. Having said that, I found something that immediately became my holy grail in make up collection. I'll probably rave about it till the end of my life. It's a lip stain that looks like a big crayon. When you put in on your lips, it just looks you've got the prettiest shade of red on them but you can't really see any product texture-wise. It's invisible, it's stays forever, it doesn't dry out your lips. It's literally perfect. I don't really use to school, but sometimes I like to put it on after classes or during the weekends. It actually came to me in a GlossyBox and I couldn't find it in any shops in Poland. It's called Jelly Pong Pong Lip Blush. So when I run out of it, I'll be crying so much. So much. Or I'll order it online.
 So that's all. Let me know in the comments below what are your favourites, cause you know I' m dying to know it (not really dying, but as a beuty freak, I' d love to know it!)
