FIVE MOST USED: LIPSTICKS

Today, I have another ''Five Most Used'' post to share with you and this one is going to be centered around some of my all time favorite lipsticks. Most of these are from the drugstore, but there is also a high-end lipstick thrown into the mix. It's one of my favorites, so I just had to include it! :-)

If you missed my five most used base products post, you can check it out it HERE! :-) 

 ♥ L'Oreal Paris Lipstick in Fairest Nude, Revlon Colorburst Lipstick in Mauve, Revlon Lip Butter in Berry Smoothie, Rimmel London Lasting Finish by Kate Lipstick in 08 & YSL Rouge Volupte Lipstick in Spicy Pink. 

♥ L'Oreal Paris Lipstick in Fairest Nude, Revlon Colorburst Lipstick in Mauve, Revlon Lip Butter in Berry Smoothie, Rimmel London Lasting Finish by Kate Lipstick in 08 & YSL Rouge Volupte Lipstick in Spicy Pink. 

 ♥ L'Oreal Paris Lipstick in Fairest Nude, HERE. 

Fairest Nude by L'Oreal Paris is one of my all time favorite lipsticks. I remember falling head over heels in love with it after seeing the lovely Sccastaneda on YouTube rave about it in one of her videos. Thanks to her, I'm addicted to it and I have already gone through a couple tubes of it. It's not too light nor too dark. If you love nude lipsticks, Fairest Nude is definitely a must have! :-)

 ♥ Revlon Colorburst Lipstick in Mauve, HERE.

Revlon Colorburst Lipstick in Mauve has been a huge favorite of mine for a couple of years now. It's such a pretty pinky mauve. It's nice and creamy, has great pigmentation and it doesn't feel drying on my lips at all. I have been keeping it in my handbag for a while now, it's such a nice everyday kind of shade! :-)

 ♥ Revlon Lip Butter in Berry Smoothie, HERE.

The lip butters from Revlon are some of my favorite lip products from the drugstore. I have managed to collect 8 shades from this range and I'm in love with all of them. One of my favorite is called Berry Smoothie and it's a beautiful berry pink with golden shimmer.

I have been raving about this shade in a couple of my Monthly Favorite posts. I love it and I think it's such a nice color for everyday! :-)

 ♥ Rimmel London Lasting Finish by Kate Lipstick in 08, HERE.

The Rimmel London Lasting Finish by Kate Lipstick in 08 is a beautiful pinky, brown mauve. The formula is infused with black diamonds, which reflects light beautifully. It applies smoothly, has great color payoff and a pleasent scent as well. It doesn't feel drying on the lips, which is perfect if you have dry lips like myself! :-)

♥ YSL Rouge Volupte Lipstick in Spicy Pink, HERE.

YSL Rouge Volupte Lipstick in Spicy Pink (20) is my favorite lipstick my high-end lipstick drawer. It's a beautiful dusty rose with a slight mauve undertone. It's nice and creamy, it looks very glossy on the lips and it has great pigmentation as well. Everything about this lipstick from YSL is beautiful. If you are going to splurge on a lipstick, these are definitely a great choice! :-)

There is no denying that I have a thing for drugstore lipsticks. My entire lipstick collection consist of mostly drugstore lipsticks. There are so many affordable, great quality lipsticks on the beauty market today, so there is really no need for me to be a crazy lipstick lady in the high-end department. But every once in a while I like to treat myself to a high-end lipstick. What lipstick brand do you like to splurge on? :-)

Do you prefer drugstore or high-end lipsticks? Have you tried out any of the lipsticks above?What's your favorite drugstore/high-end lipstick? :-) Love, Christine♥

FIVE MOST USED: BASE PRODUCTS

I have decided to start a new little series on my blog called Five Most Used. In these blog posts, I will be sharing my five most used beauty products in various categories. I was inspired by the lovely Jess from Just Jess to do this series on my blog. I'm so excited and I can't wait to start sharing some of my favorite and most used beauty products with you all! :-)

I thought I would start off this post with my five most used base products, since they are the first step in my makeup routine. I hope you enjoy this new series on my blog, be sure to let me know which category you would like to see next! :-)

 ♥ Benefit Cosmetics The POREfessional, HERE.

The POREfessional from Benefit Cosmetics has been my go-to primer for a while now. It's very smooth and it feels very soft on the skin. It minimizes the appearance of pores and blurs out any imperfections on the skin. It also makes the foundation go on easier and look more smooth and even! :-)

 ♥ Maybelline Fit Me Foundation in 110 & 115, HERE. 

I have expressed my love for the Maybelline Fit Me Foundation in quite a few blog posts, the Top 10 tag being the most recent one. It has been a big favorite of mine for a while now. I love how natural it looks on the skin, it doesn't feel heavy or make my skin look cakey. It's so easy to apply and it has a very nice and fresh finish on the skin.

Like I mentioned in my Top 10 tag post, I use both 110 and 115. 110 has a yellow undertone, but it's a bit light on it's own. 115 has more of a pink undertone, but it's slightly dark for my skin tone. So I like to mix and match these two shades together to create a more wearable color for myself. Definitely worth checking out if you are in the market for a new foundation! :-)

 

 ♥ Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream in Light, HERE. 

On days that I'm not in the mood to wear any foundation but still want to look somewhat decent and put together, the Dream Fresh BB Cream from Maybelline is my go-to product. It feels very lightweight on the skin, it looks very natural while giving the skin a nice and fresh look.

I have already gone though a couple tubes of this BB cream and I really like it. Are you a fan of BB creams? Which one is your favorite? :-)

 ♥ Maybelline Fit Me Concealer in 15, HERE.

I can't seem to get enough of the Maybelline Fit Me Concealer. I have been sticking to this concealer for a couple of years now and it's always the one that I end up going back to. I just like how easy it is to apply and blend. It has a nice coverage and it doesn't crease too much under my eyes.

I always start by applying just a little bit of the concealer under my eyes, then I go back and apply more if I feel like I need it. By starting with applying just a little concealer, I'm preventing it from creasing and looking cakey under the eyes! :-) 

♥ Rimmel London Stay Matte Long Lasting Powder in Translusent, HERE. 

The Rimmel London Stay Matte Long Lasting Pressed Powder has been a big favorite of mine ever since the wonderful Krystal from Beauty by Krystal sent it to me in a makeup swap that we did together a while ago.

I like using this powder to set my under eye concealer and to prevent it from moving around throughout the day. I sometimes like to use it to set my foundation in place, but I mostly just use it under my eyes. It's a very nice powder and it's quite affordable as well, which is always a big plus in my book! :-) 

Have you tried out any of the products above? What do you think about them? What category in this new blog series would you like me to do next? :-) Love, Christine♥
