My skin has been really dry and every foundation I praised for has been too heavy, too visible on my skin etc. Most of the times I just apply my toner/eye cream/serum/moisturiser and I am good to go. But when I am feeling fierce or want to look somewhat presentable I have reached out for these.

Bioderma Photoderm AR SPF 50+ tinted cream that has UVA and UVB protection. It is incredibly versatile multi purpose product. Smoothing skin's texture, covering redness while curing it, evening out the skin tone, protecting from aging and moisturising while giving skin dewy healthy glow. The texture is creamy and the shade might seem light for some skin colours, but I assure it will blend in with many complexions. Applying the cream is like a dream. Instantly calming and hydrating while melting into skin like a butter. Basically it is taking care of itself, you just have to wear it. Coverage wise it is light, it is tinted cream after all, but definitely buildable with a second layer. Although cream is like a dream when applied with hands, I get more coverage when blending it with a brush.

bdellium Studio 957 Precision Kabuki has been my favourite face brush for a while. Years of serving me hasn't worn it off or changed it at all. High quality synthetic bristles blend any product with ease and precision. Quite large brush head allows the product to go on face within few swipes and cuts down the time you spend on perfecting your face. 

For under eyes and overall brightening I grab for Bourjois Radiance Reveal Concealer. It also has a very creamy texture that melts into skin like warm butter (can you see the pattern here?) and gives exactly what it promises. As it is highly concentrated and pigmented tiny amount will cover a lot. The only downside I can think of is the scent... it is quite perfumed and can get galling when used for a while. Fortunately it doesn't linger on skin after application.

Time to put your comfort-zone nude and neutral shades away and reach for the reds! Here are some looks from the runways of recent fashion weeks. Everything from carefully picked lip shade to reddish tones on eyes will warm you up, give you unforgettable look and make your makeup routine much more fun. When it comes to eyeshadow, my all time favourite is Maybelline Color Tattoo cream shadow in 'Pomegranate' - red wine shade which is easy to apply and very forgiving. 

Foundation has to be hydrating, glowing and as good as possible when it comes to ingredients. I have chosen Living Nature Soft Lights Illuminating Foundation to play apart in my routine. My shade is 'Day Glow' that is medium tone with slight illuminating touch to it. It hydrates amazingly and contains only natural oils, minerals and Manuka Honey to take care of the skin while giving it healthy glow. Concealer comes from the same family as foundation, it is Living Nature Concealer in 'Light'. Provides great coverage while not masking or suffocating the skin, contains minerals, antibacterial Manuka Honey and is suitable for gentle under-eye area. I also use Gressa Minimalist Illuminating Serum as my highlighter. This product is my absolute favourite as it lights up even the most tired face while taking care of it and looking naturally luminous.

To add little bit of colour to face I grab for The Body Shop Honey Bronze Bronzing Powder in the lightest shade available. It has been my favourite for years now and you can't blame me, this one gives natural and warm complexion with minimal effort. Blush wise I have been using Bourjois Cream Blush in '01 Nude Velvet'. Its cream to powder formula doesn't necessarily require a brush to get polished and even application. As the matter of fact, I find it easier to use with clean fingers and put the warmth of your body to work when it comes to blending. Creamy in the pot, but once blended and set on skin it will be matte... this ensures great staying power without gliding off throughout the day. 

Everyday eyeshadow has to be simple for me. I rarely like to take time and blend different shadows together, not to mention to take eyeshadow brush into my hands. So cream shadow is the only right way to go. These three natural nude eyeshadows are Maybelline Colour Tattoo Cream Eyeshadows. Two of these, 'Creamy Beige' and 'Créme de Rose' are from Creamy Mattes collection,  and one, 'On and On Bronze' is from regular collection. All of these are perfectly easy to apply on their own or tied together. End result will be natural, put together and light on eyes as you don't need a primer or ton of product on your lids. Mascara I randomly bought when I was out of it, but started to adore is Maybelline Lash Sensational. The rubbery brush is curved and has many differently placed bristles that make lashes effortlessly phenomenal. I won't be overstating when I say it is easily one of the best mascaras I have used for a while. Great formula, length, volume, non clumping and easy to use! Lumene Blueberry Eyebrow Pencil in '02 Grey Brown' is the product I mainly bought because of its shade. This light greyish brown without red undertones suits perfectly to me. And I have to say when the shade is right, your brows won't need much work at all. There will be no extra blending or polishing required! Few strokes to fill in and just a quick brush through is all I need when using this (by the way, the brush in the end of it is useless).

As you can see I prefer lip glosses in my daily makeup. L'oreal Infallible Mega Gloss in '102 Scream and Shout' is peachy nude shade just the way I like it. Lip gloss itself deliver medium opaque colour with the lip balm like texture, no stickiness at all. While it doesn't stay as long as lip stains it wears off evenly and its softness makes it perfect product to apply over and over again like you would do with regular lip balm. Applicator that is shaped after lips makes it amazingly comfortable and easy to do. When I am feeling fierce or more adventurous I opt for darker wine/berry red on my lips. For more opaque look I line and fill in my lips with Senna Cosmetics Smooth Lips Lip Liner in 'Crimson' that is matte but soft on lips at the same time. It may end in here, but for juicier finish I might add Max Factor Colour Elixir Lip Gloss in '65 Lustrous Plum', dark red berry shade, which on its own gives sheer 'drank just red wine' balmy sheen to the lips and on top of lip liner will keep lips soft and glossy without the heavy burden. 

Although it looks quite vibrant in the tube, it goes on very natural and sophisticated. The consistency is similar to a liquid foundation and the smallest dot makes the difference for the whole face when blended. So, you will be hooked up with a great amount of blusher for the longest time when you decide to get it. Airless pump bottle ensures it stays fresh and remains its quality.

Considering it is made by L'oreal, I was surprised, because I usually don't like their lip products. They often look something that aren't appealing from the outside and inside is usually too ordinary to get for the money they cost.

By only looking at the packaging, they upped their came this time! It looks high quality, sleek and expensive. When I wouldn't know it is L'oreal, I would probably think it is some high-end lip product. The golden tube is accompanied with the little see through window that reveals the actual shade of the product. The applicator comes out like a normal lip gloss wand would do. Wand itself is so comfortable to use as it comes in a wider shape and feels so soft on lips. This allow to get the smoothest and easiest application of the lip colour.

Most of the shades came with little sheen into them, but colours in general were extremely pure and opaque. As I said, the selection was wide and decision to choose only one was hard. So I chose 'Rose Melody' which is dusty rose tone with a little bit of coral undertone to it. The sheen isn't bulky so you won't feel it on your lips at all. I believe this shade would suit to most of the people and flatter any complexion.

This won't be a review post as I don't feel myself entitled enough to make such a big statements yet. Even though few of these aren't things I got very recently, they all are new when it comes to me using them. So that basically will make them 'new', wouldn't it?

The selling lady was super helpful, gave me punch of samples with my purchase and I went home with my new summer dress and a bronzer also perfect for the summer!
