Affordable make-up HAUL ;)

I've run out of foundation so I decided to buy it at UPIM. I've been using the Essence Stay All Day foundation for a long time and I thought of trying a new foundation this time. I was thinking of buying the Rimmel Match Perfection. I was lucky that all of the Rimmel foundations were on a special price and I ended up on buying another one. I needed also a new eyebrow pencil and I ended up on buying also a eyebrow powder. Then I saw a lip cream on the Essence stand and it reminded me of NYX lip creams (we don't have NYX here in Italy) I also bought one just to give it a try.

I really wanted to buy the Match Perfection foundation but I wasn't able to find the right shade for me since I tend to pick up a foundation one shade lighter than my skintone. I made some few swatches and I ended up on buying another foundation wich is the Lasting Finish by Rimmel. Afterwards I realised I've made the right decision on buying this foundation! ;)

(Original Price: 14.50euro

Special Price: 9.90euro)

The fact that it is a long-lasting foundation is a big plus for me. And I can't wait to try this out :)

I love the packaging and the logo on the cap as well

the other products that I purchased:

The eyebrow set comes only these shade. The set contains:

- 2 eyebrow shades

- 1 eyebrow brush

- a little pamphlet with the instructions

- 3 eyebrow stencils (which I will never use. hahahaha xD)

My trusty eyebrow pencil in the shade 02 brown

Essence Stay Matt lip cream in the shade 04 Silky Red

I'm starting to love this product <3 and I'll definitely buy the other shades.

My everyday makeup

I want to share to you how I do my everyday makeup which I mainly wear when I go to the Uni.

The products that I use:

- RoC Complete Lift daily moisturizer

- Essence "Stay all day" foundation in 10 Soft Beige

- Garnier BBcream in Light/Clair

- L'Oréal Cover Expert concealer quad.

- Avon Colortrend pressed powder in Translucent Tan

- Essence brow pencil in Dark Brown

- BH Cosmetics 28 Color palette neutral eyeshadow

- Kiko "definition eyeliner" in Black

- Catrice "All around" mascara in Ultra Black

- Sephora eye pencil in White

- Avon face pearls

I prepare my face by moisturizing it then I mix the foundation and the bbcream and apply it on my face using a wet triangular sponge. I conceal my dark circles, acne scars and blemishes with the concealer and I seal all by applying a translucent powder with a face brush.

I fill in my brows with small strokes by using the dark brown brow pencil following their natural shape. Then I procede to the eye makeup.

With a fluffy eyeshadow brush, I apply a wash of brown color (number 1) on my crease area. This will act as the transition color. Then I place a lighter brown (number 2) over the dark brown just on the border for a gradient effect. I apply a beige color (number 3) on the eyelid area and on the brow bone blending it to the other colors that I applied before. And lastly, I apply a black eyeshadow (number 4) with a pencil brush concentrating it on the crease just to give my eyes some depth. I also apply the dark brown eyeshadow on my lower lashline.

I line just the upper part of my eye with a liquid eyeliner trying to stay as closest to my lashline then I curl my lashes and apply a black mascara. I line my waterline with a white pencil just to open my eyes.

I use the dark brown eyeshadow to contour my face and the face pearls to give some glow to my skin.

I use lipbalms instead of lipstick. I'm not a fan of lipsticks xD but if I have to, I use baby pink color lipsticks.

affordable makeup HAUL

I went to Upim last saturday to buy a bronzing powder and a finishing powder. I've been using the bronzer of my Sephora makeup palette and I really don't like its satin finish so I decided to buy a matte one. I asked my boyfriend to come with me and help me to buy it.

We went to the Essence stand and I started to pick everything I like and my boyfriend told me to get only what I really need the most (kung hindi nya ako pinagsabihan, malamang ubos agad pera ko). At the end I got only two products from Essence: the "Sun Club" matt bronzing powder and the "All about matt!" fixing loose powder.

4.39 euro

Actually this bronzer is for blondes/lighter skin and the darker one wasn't available so I bought this. The shade is in "01 Natural" and it is a matt bronzing powder for a naturally sunkissed tan perfect for lighter skin types. It contains 0.52oz/15g of product and Its VERY big! Like the palm of my hand or even more. The packaging is made of plastic and it's transparent so you can see the product inside. The ingredients is written at the back. When you open it you can see a silhouette of two girls. It has a pleasant coconut fragrance.

4.29 euro

This is a WOW product and I really love it! It's a translucent powder good for a matt finish. It says what it does! It contains 0.38oz/11g of product. It's a fixing loose powder for a matt and natural finish all day long. It also helps to blend blush and foundation colors together, fixes makeup when applied as finishing powder and suitable for all skin tones. It's super mild and blendable and you don't need a lot of product.

I was about to pay when I saw the Maybelline "Baby Lips". I heard positive comments and reviews about this product and I really wanted to try them so I picked one lip balm but the saleslady told me that if I get two I would have a free gift: a bracelet.

2.99 euro each 

I've got only two: Peach kiss and Cherry me. I'm planning to get the other colors :) I haven't tried them yet because I still have my Labello lip balm.
