I picked up some basics again and these products have a permanent part in my collection now.
Makeup Forever HD Foundation in #127 Dark Sand (review here) is my go - to foundation for both the pictures that'll go on my blog and in real life. It doesn't cover everything, but covers enough. It also stays looking beautiful all day.
Mally Evercolor Poreless Face Defender (revew here) was recently on sale at Ulta and I took the opportunity to snatch one up. I've bought this 3 times already and it sets my makeup so nice without making it look cakey or unnatural.
NYX Stay Matte But Not Flat Powder Foundation in #2 Nude (review here) helps me set my foundation but doesn't make my face look powdery. I also like using it by itself when I'm in a rush. It doesn't keep my face matte, but keeps a natural sheen. It's not dewey and it's not matte, but somewhere in between.
L'oreal Shocking Extensions Waterproof Mascara in Blackest Black has plastic bristles that define and lengthen my lashes so much. The wand is flattened and the bristles are mostly on edges. It doesn't give me that much volume though.
Maybelline Volum' Express the Rocket Waterproof Mascara in Very Black (review here) is what I use when I want more volume. The bristles are short and so they never poke my eyes or go onto my lids.
What are some of your recent repurchases?

I've tried that telescopic mascara and nyx powder before! I really enjoyed the powder but towards the end of using it I experienced a really cakey look where oil was visibly being absorbed on my skin so I didn't repurchase. I used to use that mascara a lot though in my early mascara days but unfortunately singapore doesn't carry it anymore! I always repurchase my favorite pressed powder by a brand called ZA, my favorite mascara by Kiss me heroine and the maybelline color tattoo in bad to the bronze!
ReplyDeleteI have skin more on the dry side, but I do know what you're talking about because summer made me more oily than normal! I would see some weirdness on the sides of my face, but on the not as hot days, I love it so much.
ReplyDeleteIt's such a shame that the Telescopic mascara isn't being sold everywhere anymore :( It definitely is one of my all time favorites. I've heard of Kiss Me Heroine before but I haven't had a chance to try them out yet. I think their Long and Curl mascara? is always being talked about in some makeup forums I go to.
