Summer Beauty Essentials

Since a lot of you guys have been asking me about the makeup products I use I thought I’d make a quick post about my most important beauty essentials. I’ve tried a lot of cosmetics, both drugstore and high end and these products happen to be the ones that I swear by and that work best for me. Also, I didn’t include stuff like eyeliners, shadows and blushes simply because I have no particular preferences here and can use any random product (even an H&M blush, if I’m in the mood).

From top to bottom:

1. Sephora Mineral Foundation Compact – No paraben, no fragrance, no oil and talc, hypoallergic – perfect for my weird skin
2. MAC 182 kabuki brush – have been using this one for like a year (although you can probably tell :D)!
3. MAC ‘Studio Fix’ Fluid Foundation – it gives an amazing coverage, stays long and mattifies my oily skin in a way that I almost never need to touch up.
4. Sephora Classic Mineral Powder Brush #45 – I use it for foundation an its literally the best thing that’s ever happened to me (makeup brush-wise :D)!
5. YSL Faux Cils Noir Radical (for night) and a little less dark Volume Effet Faux Cils for the daytime. Addicted to these babies, have been buying them for a couple years.
6. Diorskin Nude Concealer – Have been using it only for about a month and I already like it more than everything I used before – great coverage (I have some serious dark circles going on!) and hydration.
7. Bioderma Sebium Ge l (couldn’t find this one online, but this gel works absolutely the same way) and Avene Cleanance Lotion – as I mentioned, my skin is oily (mostly in the T-zone) and prone to occasional breakouts, using these two products I managed to cut breakouts by around 90%.

Do you use any of these products? What are your beauty essentials?
