September Favourites

This month I’ve been trying out loads of new things: skincare, primers, foundations… And for this reason it was quite hard to immediately find my favourites. But, as it always happens, after the first panic moment everything came to mind and I remembered products I truly loved.

September Favourites

Kiehl’s Creamy Eye Treatment With Avocado
I used this eye cream ages ago, loved it but never repurchased it. But when I received a sample at the beginning of the month I instantly remembered why I loved it: rich but not greasy, it hydrates the eye area like nothing else. The consistency is quite strange but brilliant at the same time: it starts thick but turns almost liquid. And here’s the best part: I pat it in with my ring fingers, and when I get to the final step of smoothing it out to ensure I applied it evenly I’m able to do it without disturbing the delicate skin in the eye area. A true winner!

NARS Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base
After a whole summer of wearing pretty much only Benefit They’re Real Push-Up Liner I started wearing eye shadow more and more again, and this primer is a true essential for me. It keeps eyeshadow in place for hours and hours and it so quick and easy to apply, as it’s clear once applied. A true holy grail!

MAKE UP FOR EVER HD Blush in #330, Rosy Plum
It was the month of the cream blush rediscover for me, as I’ve been wearing them more than ever. I’ve been enjoying this MUFE one the most, as it’s a gorgeous pink that gives the most natural lovely glow to the skin. I’ve reviewed it and swatched it alongside the others cream blushes in my collection for a guest post on Expat Make Up-Addict, you can find it here!

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencil in Sabbath
This is a gorgeous navy eye liner that goes on super smoothly and glossy but then dries down to a nearly completely mat finish. I love to wear it as an eye liner, doing the flick picking up the product with an angled brush. It lasts all day and it looks so, so good on. I’ve been wearing it a lot!

L’Oréal Color Riche Nail Polish in #855 Oyster Bay
This nail polish is from my favourite nail polish line, L’Oréal Paris Color Riche. It’s a gorgeous light nude with a slightly gold reflect that’s very chic. You can see it on this Instagram photo, even though it’s a tiny bit darker in real life! And… You know the best part? I’ve been able to wear this for two weeks, paired with The System from Formula X! I removed it because I couldn’t stand nail showing from the base… Amazing!

What have you been loving this month? Have you tried any of these products?

Questo mese sono stata impegnata a provare tantissime nuove cose: skincare, primers, fondotinta… E per questa ragione è stato particolarmente difficile identificare immediatamente i miei prodotti preferiti. Poi, come sempre accade, dopo il primo momento di panico mi è tornato tutto in mente e mi sono ricordata di prodotti che mi sono davvero piaciuti.

Kiehl’s Creamy Eye Treatment With Avocado
Ho usato questo contorno occhi tantissimo tempo fa, mi è piaciuto ma non l’ho mai ricomprato. Quando ho ricevuto un camioncino all’inizio del mese mi sono immediatamente ricordata perché mi piaceva: ricco ma non grasso, idrata l’area del contorno occhi come nient’altro. La consistenza è piuttosto strana ma anche geniale: all’inizio è piuttosto spesso, ma poi diventa praticamente liquido. Ed è qui la parte migliore: lo tampono con i polpastrelli, e quando arrivo allo step finale di stenderlo con le dita per essere sicura di averlo applicato in maniera omogenea sono in grado di farlo senza disturbare l’area delicata del contorno occhi. Fantastico!

NARS Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base
Dopo un’intera estate in cui ho indossato praticamente solo Benefit They’re Real Push-Up Liner ho ricominciato a indossare gli ombretti sempre di più, e questo primer è davvero essenziale. Fa durare gli ombretti per ore ed ore ed è così semplice e veloce da applicare, visto che diventa trasparente una volta applicato. Un prodotto indispensabile!

MAKE UP FOR EVER HD Blush in #330, Rosy Plum
È stato il mese della riscoperta dei blush in crema per me, visto che li ho indossati sempre di più. Questo è stato quello che ho indossato di più, ed è un meraviglioso rosa che dona alla pelle una bellissima luminosità naturale. L’ho recensito e swatchato insieme agli altri blush in crema che possiedo per un post sul blog Expat Make Up-Addict, potete trovarlo qui!

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Pencil in Sabbath
Questa è una meravigliosa matita blu scuro che scorre morbidissima e lucida e poi si asciuga in maniera quasi praticamente opaca. Mi piace indossarlo come eye liner, facendo la codina prendendo il prodotto con un pennello angolato. Dura tutto il giorno ed è davvero meraviglioso. L’ho portato un sacco!

L’Oréal Color Riche Nail Polish in #855 Oyster Bay
Questo smalto è della mia linea di smalti preferita, la Color Riche de L’Oréal Paris. È un meraviglioso nude chiaro con un leggero riflesso dorato veramente chic. Potete vederlo in questa foto su Instagram, anche se è leggermente più scuro dal vivo! E… Volete sapere la parte migliore? Sono stata in grado di indossarlo per due settimane, abbinato a The System Formula X! L’ho tolto perché non potevo sopportare l’unghia scoperta alla base… Fantastico!

Quali sono stati i vostri prodotti preferiti questo mese? Avete provato alcuni di quelli di cui vi ho parlato?

  2. Cream blushes are my favourites too! I've tried a few from the Loreal nail polish line, although I picked up the darker shades, but the quality is quite good! I just wish the bottles were bigger ;) xx

    Velvet Blush

  3. This Nars eyeshadow base sounds really interesting to me. I use EL base right now but what I don't like about it is that it's in a small round jar and I use my fingers to take it out while applying on my eyelids and that's not so hygienic . The Nars one is great to me first of all, because of it's shape and then, I'm pretty sure it must be a great base too, since you love to use it. xx

  6. Stellar choices as always, Gyudy! Eventually I need to pick up some of the full sized MUFE cream blushes. I loved that sample so much! :-) after my trip to the States next month, I think I have to go on a no buy though :/

  9. Ahah, to be honest the fact that they're small is good for me because I never finish nail polishes... With these one I get close enough to feel satisfied! I love them, they're great ;) xx

  14. So glad to hear that, it was quite a cloudy day so I couldn't get it right... You words are just what I needed, thank you! :) I had a look at the velvet ones and they're gorgeous... But see if you can have a look at this one, it's nearly the same formula as the newer ones! ;) xx

  19. That blush is great... The formula is so amazing! And the primer is simply the best. It's so different from the UD one but I like it a lot more! ;) xx

  20. Thank you Divya! I know, the packaging isn't the best but I find that the consistency helps picking up just the right amount without messing with the product too much like sometimes happens! :) xx

  21. Great september favourites! I'm using the Kiehls Eye cream myself and I think it's lovely. Is the Nars Smudgeproof base drying or not so much? Currently using a Smashbox one which seems to do the job ;)
