♡ Current favorites #1 ♡

I realize I have been gone for a long time but I've busy with school, exams and blah blah blah.. :/

But hopefully I can put up more posts now that everything have settled down.:)

I decided to do a series called "current favorites". Every now and then I will tell you guys some of the products I've been loving. I don't know if I should do it every month or not but we'll see how it goes :)

SOO, without further ado here are the products I've been loving 

1. Gel liner 

This is a general one but I lovee gel liner! <3 I love winged out liner so gel liner gives me the perfect look. This is probably my favorite beauty looks because it's so retro and classy. I feel like this will never go out of style and I absolutely LOVE it! <3 

2. MAC ricepaper eyeshadow

I love this eyeshadow because it's a neutral shadow which you can wear everyday. I wear this all over the eyelid because it gives a really pretty soft golden sheen that brightens up your eyes. My go-to looks has been just the ricepaper eyeshadow and liner and mascara. It's easy, natural and classy. 

3. MAC mineralize blush in Gentle

You might have seen the post that I did about this blush but I love this blush soo much! It's a pretty raspberry shade with golden shimmer. It's instantly gives a healthy glow to your face without being too overpowering. It's an easy everyday blush to use :) 

4. MAC Teddy eye kohl

This is a really pretty bronzy brown eyeliner. I use this on my lower lash line to give my eyes a little bit of definition without being too harsh like putting black on my waterline. It's a really pretty eyeliner that can be worn on every eye color :)

5. White eyeliner

I've been really loving putting white eyeliner on my waterline because it makes your eyes look bigger and awake. This trick has helped me a lot because I've been needing that extra kick to my makeup since I haven't had much sleep. (Studying!)

So that it's for my favorites :) I hope you try out some of the products that I mentioned and if you have favorites that you have been loving, let me know! :)

MAC Mineralize Blush in Gentle

  The MAC mineralized blush ($23.50) the newest product in my collection. I've wanted this for a long time because I've never owned a MAC blush before. This blush is a really pretty raspberry shade with gold shimmer.

            It's a really pretty blush for when you want a more natural looking color on the face and also adds a really pretty glow to your face. The blush is pigmented so you want to be careful not to pick up too much of the product.

            It does have shimmer in it so if you're not a big fan of it, this may not be for you. I'm not the biggest fan of shimmer blushes but I couldn't resist the color so I had to bear with the shimmer. But after I put it on my face it wasn't as shimmery as I thought it would be so I was relived! :)             

            I like to apply it with an angled blush brush but this can be applied with different brushes to get a different look. For instance, a duo fiber brush would give you a more sheer finish for a more natural look but a dense brush would give you a more concentrated look, which would be pretty for evening.

           

   MAC Mineralize Blush（23.50ドル）は、最近購入したばかりのものです。 MACの頬紅は今まで持っていなくて、長い間欲しかったもののひとつでした。この頬紅は、ゴールド・ラメが入っていて、本当にかわいいラズベリー色です。

  少しブラッシュアップしただけで、ナチュラルな雰囲気に仕上がるほか、濃淡が出てキュートな印象になります。ただ、濃くつけてしまうとインパクトが出てしまうので、つけ過ぎには気をつけたほうがいいと思います。それからこの商品にはラメが入っているので、ラメ系があまり好きではない人には向いていないかもしれません。私もラメはあまり好きではないのですが、この色は本当にかわいいので買って良かったなぁと思っています。しかも実際に顔にのっけてみたら、そんなにラメは気にならない程度でした。

　私はアングルドブラシで少々沈着させるのが好みですが、ほかのブラシを使用すると異なる雰囲気のフィニッシュとなります。たとえばデンスブラシ（密度の高いブラシ）だとはっきりとした色つきなどなど…。
