Look of the Day: Hippy Vibes

This is officially the first time I'm wearing a lipstick on the blog and in my adult life :D I have always been neglecting this product for two reasons: I don't like how if feels on my lips and I don't like to accentuate the asymmetry of my lips! However, when I came to the MAC store to pick up a foundation, I couldn't resist testing this color as I though it would be perfect to spice up my fall looks. So I ended up getting this one along with two other colors, not sure if I'll use the crap out of them, but I think the time has come to move to bigger and better things :) 

What about you? Are you a lipstick person?

I'm wearing:

Blazer - Zara (similar ones here, here and here)

Blouse - VJstyle

Skirt - Chicwish

Bag - vintage

Watch - Michael Kors

Boots - Zara (similar ones here and here)

Lipstick - MAC Sheen Supreme in Sweet Grenadine (the color in the pictures slightly differs due to editing)

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 Gel (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?
