Beauty Favorites #2 - March

Happy Sunday Beauties!!!

The weekend ends and so the month! It's time for a Beauty Favorites post!

The past month i had only 1 weekend off, since then i was not that into makeup unless to create some looks for fun.. The makeup i've used was really minimal i almost could create a non- makeup makeup look with it..

Skin is the most important part of a beauty routine, since i need something to control my oilyness i'm using Bioderma Sébium Global and it's surprising me for the best.. I notice that my blemishes are not as big or painful as before and my skin keeps mattified for the entire day..

Unlike the most part of my face, my under eye skin is a bit dry and with all the face washes for oily skin it worsens the area.. To fix that i'm using SuperFacialist By Úna Brennan Neroli Firming Illuminate Eye Cream, such a long name.. This claims to be 'A tightening and hydrating eye crean to target fine lines and puffiness aroud the delicate eye area.' The fact is that it helps my under eye skin to feel smooth and hydrated.

Before even start my skincare routine i tie up my hair.. for that i'm using invisibobble, this one i got in a skinbox.. Its different from all the elastics i'm used to and it's been a huge favorite since it doesn't tightens my wrist and it's cute as a bracelet.

In the tools world my favorite brush at the moment to apply powder is the Essence Bloom me up! Powder Brush.. It's so soft and applies powder really well.. not to talk about the super cute packaging..

As i said i've been wearing the minimal ammount of makeup lately so i always apply some face powder in this case i've been using Catrice All Matt plus the entire month.

Minimal means something so my eyebrows can't go without a bit of shape and for that Catrice Eye brow stylist in 020 Date With Ash-ton is my best friend .. Just simple to use and lasts the entire day!

Mascara is something i can't live without and the past month i've been using Essence Get Big Lashes 3 Black mascara.. It gives length and volume and its easy to apply.. can't ask more for a 3€ mascara..

Lipstick has not always been used but when i had the time i opted for a nude lipstick, in this case Catrice Ultimate Colour in 010 Be Natural!

These are the products i've been using the most for the past month! I love every single one of the mentioned and i recommend you to try them if you have the chance ;)

Wish you a wonderful Sunday...

To Clean Masterpieces Takes Time

Good morning beauties! I wish you a wonderful week :)

To start fresh in this long week i'm here to share with you my makeup removers and opinion on which ones i find better for me..

As you may know we're all different so what suits me may not suit you but in general products are meant to suit a general range of people!

As you can see i have some different makeup removers and this because i like to switch them up.. Sometimes i'm in the mood to use wipes other times i prefer biphasics..

And so on..

Starting with biphasics eye makeup removers:

Douglas xsmall Gentle Eye Makeup Remover ~2,99€

Sephora Waterproof eye makeup remover ~4€

Both of these are travel size because i like to try different products before investing on them.. if you have the option travel size or sample products go for them first! It can save you money if you don't like them..

I find both really similar.. Sephora is almost gone and i have it for the longest time so it lasts a good time.. it removes waterproof makeup gently , there's no need to rub your eyes off with this product.. it's a bit greasy but it's normal for biphasics..

Douglas one is similar so nothing more to add actually..

Cleansing Milks are not my favorite to be honest.. it's not because they're bad.. it's just personal preference.

Sephora Soothing Cleansing Milk ~4€

I find this milk really smooth and great but personally i prefer the other's i'm mentioning, i don't feel like it cleanses all the makeup off..

And i find it's not meant for my oily skin..

But if you like to use cleansing milks this one is a good option.

Face washes are a must... if you don't want to spend a lot of money on dozens of products i suggest you a face wash and it does the job of removing everything..

Bioderma Sébium Gel moussant - Purifying cleaning foaming gel ~ 16€ 200ml

This one is my favorite face wash at the moment, from Bioderma Sebium range adapted to oily skin types... It does wonders, and i mean noticible wonders to my skin. Since i use this product i find my skin much healthier and shinny not in the greasy way but the natural way..

It removes the makeup really well and it's in a gel form which i find really good to wash everything out! Makes my face feel mattyfied and clean.. i use it every morning and evening.. it lasts a really good time so it's an investiment that will conpensate over time.

Definitely my most used product at the moment..

Some of us prefer to use the new trend micellar waters...

Bioderma Sébium H2O Purifying cleansing micelle solution ~15€ 250ml

The most known brand is Bioderma and curious as i am i had to pick some of their products to try out... my skin is sensitive but also very oily so i decided to go for the Sebium range rather than the Sensibo one.. It does absolute wonders! I tend to use it after cleaning my face with the face wash mentioned before also from the brand.. Its refreshing and makes my skin feel matt and balanced, as said it's a water based product so very runny.. but does wonders to my greasy skin and removes any left makeup (if there's any)

Makeup Wipes Hot or Not?

The question that seems to have different answers everytime i put it out..

Skino Makeup Wipes Sensitive - 1,99€

Here's my opinion about them.. Makeup wipes are good if they don't irritate your skin, but good to use on the days you're being lazy or running late... i don't advise you to use them on daily basis, i used to remove my makeup with these all the time but since i started using face washes i felt such difference..

Although this are made for sensitive skin using them like nobodys business can harm your skin, use them with moderation and it will be a great product to have ;)

As you can tell there's a lot of different ways to remove makeup and it's up to you to chose the best for your own needs! I hope this post helped you figuring out the many ways you can cleane your masterpieces!

Don't forget to take your makeup off before going to sleep! It's the most important step to make your skin healthier!
