November Favourites

This month I’ve tried a lot of new awesome things, but as it often happens as soon as I started thinking about the products I loved the most a few reliable favourites came to mind. Here they are!

Diorskin Star Lancome Grandiose Anastasia Brow Wiz Nars Yachiyo Clinique Clearing Gel

Clinique Anti-Blemish Solutions Clinical Clearing Gel
I talked about it recently in my Morning Skincare Routine, and it’s simply a hero. I’ve had a pretty stressful month and since with many worries often comes not eating well, the two things alone or combined tend to show on the skin. Well, me and the Clinique gel fought imperfections together and they didn’t see the light of day! Every time I felt a little blemish was trying to appear on my chin a light layer of this made it completely disappear. This stuff is simply magical!

Dior Diorskin Star Foundation
This foundation is simply too beautiful. Glowy but not greasy, long lasting but not drying… I truly can’t say a bad thing about it. A pump applied with fingers is the perfect amount and the shade 020 is really spot on for me. I’ve received a lot of random compliments on my skin recently, a lot more than normal, and it can only mean two things: my skincare routine is really working and this foundation is really so amazing!

Lancôme Grandiôse Mascara
I feel an expensive addiction coming here: since I first started using it back in September (here is my review!) this has barely left my lashes. I’ve tried to use another mascara and while it might have been its fault (more about it in a upcoming post), I just missed the always perfect effect this gives to my lashes. Volume, length and definition with a really black formula and the most important thing for me: not a single day of bad lashes. A perfect result every single day! And it’s still going strong three months later.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz
This cult favourite really has all the right reasons to be so well loved: I’ve never liked a single eyebrow pencil I tried until this one. They were all too waxy, too hard or too soft. The only ones I used were the powdery ones like MAC Veluxe Brow Liner or the Dior Powder Eyebrow Pencil, but I was never satisfied. Then I fell for the hype… And I’m so glad I did! It gives a perfect but not too heavy result, and fills in the gap in my left eyebrow in a nearly undetectable way. I just ordered another one because I really don’t want to be without it!

NARS Yachiyo Kabuki Brush
I wrote a post on it recently (here it is!) and I couldn’t write this post without mentioning it. It applies cheek products in the most perfect way, giving a gorgeous result with brozer, contour, sheer and pigmented blushes and highlight. I’m starting to use it for that sheer layer of powder I put on my nose if I’m facing a long day, and it’s perfect for that too. I’ve seen someone complaining about it being a little scratchy, but I find it really soft! An expensive investment, but so worth it!

What have you been loving this month?


Questo mese ho provato un sacco di cose nuove e meravigliose, ma come spesso accade appena ho cominciato a pensare ai prodotti che ho amato di più mi sono venuti in mente dei prodotti tanto amati e fidati. Eccoli qui!

Clinique Anti-Blemish Solution Clinical Clearing Gel
Ne ho parlato nella mia routine mattutina, ed è semplicemente un eroe. Ho avuto un mese piuttosto stressante e visto che con molte preoccupazioni spesso arriva anche una dieta equilibrata, le due cose da sole o combinate tendono a farsi vedere sulla pelle. Beh, io e il gel Clinique abbiamo combattuto insieme le imperfezioni e non hanno visto la luce del giorno! Ogni volta che sentivo un piccolo brufolo spuntare sul mento un leggero strato di questo gel l’ha fatto sparire. È semplicemente magico!

Dior Diorskin Nude Foundation
Questo fondotinta è semplicemente troppo bello. Luminoso ma non lucido, a lunga durata ma non asciutto… Non riesco davvero a trovargli un difetto. Un’erogazione applicata con le dita è la quantità perfetta e la tonalità 020 è davvero adatta a me. Ho ricevuto un sacco di complimenti per la mia pelle ultimamente, molto di più del normale, e può voler dire solo due cose: la mia routine skincare sta funzionando alla grande e questo fondotinta è davvero meraviglioso!

Lancôme Grandiôse Mascara
Intravedo all’orizzonte un’abitudine pericolosa: da quando a settembre ho incominciato a usarlo (ecco la mia recensione!) non ha praticamente lasciato le mie ciglia. Ho provato a usare un altro mascara e per quanto è possibile che il difetto fosse suo (di più in un futuro post), mi è proprio mancato l’effetto sempre perfetto che questo mascara dona alle mie ciglia. Volume, lunghezza, definizione con una formula davvero nera e la cosa per me più importante: neanche un giorno di ciglia non impeccabili. Un risultato perfetto ogni singolo giorno! Èd è ancora perfetto dopo tre mesi.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz
Questo prodotto cult ha davvero tutte le ragioni per essere così amato: non ho mai amato nessuna matita per sopracciglia prima di questa. Erano tutte troppo cerose, troppo dure, troppo morbide. Le uniche che usavo erano quelle effetto polvere come la MAC Veluxe Brow Liner o la Dior Sourcils Poudre, ma non ero mai soddisfatta. Poi ho deciso di seguire la corrente… E sono così contenta di averlo fatto! Da un risultato perfetto ma non troppo evidente, e riempie lo spazio nella mia sopracciglia sinistra in maniera quasi invisibile. Ne ho appena ordinata un’altra perché non voglio trovarmi senza!

NARS Yachiyo Kabuki Brush
Ho scritto un intero post a proposito di questo pennello (eccolo qui!) e non potevo parlare dei miei preferiti del mese senza citarlo. Permette l’applicazione delle polveri viso in maniera perfetta, tanto un risultato stupendo con bronzer, contouring, blush più sheer o più pigmentati e illuminanti. Sto iniziando a usarlo anche per il leggero strato di cipria che applico sul naso se mi aspetta una giornata lunga ed è perfetto anche per quello. Ho letto qualcuno lamentarsi del fatto che non sia molto morbido, ma io lo trovo morbidissimo! Un investimento importante, ma ne è valsa la pena!

Quali sono i prodotti che avete amato di più questo mese?

  10. I've really been wanting to try the Dior Star foundation, but there's no where near me where I can swatch it! I have neutral undertones and really pale skin... would you know which shade is right for me?

  12. I LOVE the sound of the Clinique Clearing gel, anything that gets rid of spots is a must have for me. I use what might be a "dupe" for this from the body shop - the tea tree clearing lotion - which works but also dries out my skin so I'm looking for an alternative xx

  21. Unfortunately the Dior Star Foundation didn't work for me. It just clings onto my dry patches and makes my dry skin appear even more dry. Such a shame! I really wanted to like it. :( xx

  33. I haven't had any problems with this, mainly because I use it straight after my toner and since it dries so quickly I can put moisturizer on top! ;) xx

    ReplyDelete
  34. Thank you so much Nina! Glad you enjoyed! :) xx

  40. I find them a bit hard to wear on a everyday basis but I'm loving them too! ;) xx

    ReplyDelete
  41. Thank you so much lovely! It's truly an amazing brush ;) I've been loving darker lips too, even if in "softer versions" like sheer lipsticks mainly! ;) xx

    ReplyDelete
  42. It's so strange, because it's one of the few that don't bug my sometimes dry nose! Such a shame because the effect is really beautiful, but with all the great things around there's no time to be sad ;) xx

    ReplyDelete
  43. Yay! I hope you like it! The sponge is nice but I like using my fingers more ;) xx

    ReplyDelete
  44. I can't assure you it's going to be right for you, but from what you're saying I'd go for #010, as it should be the lightest neutral one as far as their numbering goes. Next time I'm heading to the store I'm going to swatch it again, let me know if you end up trying it! Hope I've been helpful! :) xx

    ReplyDelete
  45. I've been wanting to try the Anastasia Brow Wiz for ages.. but I just can't decide which shade is right for me! And I think I need to try the Lancome mascara and the Dior foundation. You've made me very curious to be honest ;) Love flutter lashes and a flawless base ofcourse!
