I always love these kinds of posts on other blogs, so here are my current favourite makeup-products.

Disclaimer: there are more high-end products in this post than in the last one, but I still use tons of drugstore products as well.

The Naked Palette by Urban Decay

Okay, so this palette? Has been hyped to all heavens since it came out. To the point of getting annoying, really. Especially when you don’t have it. The thing is, though: it is absolutely amazing! Everything about it is amazing, the colours, the application, the texture, the finish, absolutely everything. Even the usually useless brush that comes with it is pretty amazing. I use this palette so often, you can do so much with it. As you can see in the second photo, I also have the Naked 2 Palette, which is good too, but the Naked is just perfect, its successor is pretty much unnecessary. Except of course for Urban Decay to make more money. I say, why not?

Precious Mineral BB Cream by Etude House

This is a pretty heavy-duty BB Cream. The coverage and the finish are wonderful, and it’s mattifying pretty much all day long. I don’t use this everyday, but when I feel like I’d be more comfortable with more coverage, this is what I grab.

Marble Mania Mascara by Essence

Essence is a “cheap” brand sold mainly in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland (I think?). The products are sometimes a little hit or miss, but they have surprisingly good things for such a wallet-friendly brand. This mascara is from a Limited Edition called Marble Mania. When applied, you can’t see any marbley-effect, it just comes out black. But for my lashes, it’s perfect, because it’s not sticky, it separates, makes them look thicker, and maybe a little longer. I really like it. The only downside (to me) is that the brush is quite large and thick.

Eyebrow Gel by Alverde

I’ve only had these for a couple of days, and I have only used the “Blonde” one so far, but I am so happy with it! I have seriously stupid eyebrows. They have no shape and no colour and I just really dislike them. So when I have to fill them in with powder or a pencil, it looks unnatural. With this gel, I get a better shape and of course some colour, but it doesn’t look painted. I suspect that the brown one will be too dark for me, but we’ll see.

Water Flash Lipgloss by Manhattan

I am not a big fan of lipgloss. They are usually sticky and gross and feel weird on my lips. And I don’t know how people don’t get their hair stuck to their lips all the friggin time. But I really like this one. It came in my Pink Box this week, and: it’s not sticky! The colour probably wouldn’t be my first choice if I bought it, but it’s really nice. I might actually buy this in another colour, too.

Lipliner “Whirl” by MAC

I love this liner because it’s almost exactly my natural lip colour, maybe one or two shades darker. So when I don’t feel like wearing lipstick, I just use this to fill in my whole lips and then put some balm or some gloss over it, and voilà. Looks really natural.

Fenberry Blush by Sleek

I am a huge fan of Sleek blushes. Of Sleek in general, actually. Their eyeshadow palettes are amazing, too. This is one of my favourite colours, it’s so beautiful!

Beauty Blender

I find that the Beauty Blender works makeup (or BB Cream) into your skin much better than a brush. It kind of makes it melt into your skin, in a way. It also greatly reduces the chance of makeup-lines, which I appreciate. Of course the thing is much too expensive, so I’m hoping that some cheapo-brand will make a dupe for it soon.

Cruel Gardenia by Guerlain

Oh my god. This is the most expensive beauty-product I have ever bought, and it’s also my baby. I know it looks used, because, eh, I have used it, but isn’t it absolutely beautiful? The shimmer, the changing colours, argh, it’s just perfect.

Do you like these kinds of posts? I don’t know if they are helpful to anyone, and I also don’t want to seem to be bragging and be all “look what I have”, but this is my hobby, and one of the only things I actually spend (lots of) money on, so I do like to show off a little bit.

Also, I have deleted all my millions of other blogs, German and English and all, and will use this one exclusively from now on.

Thanks for reading, and I love comments!
