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?

New in from Dior | Diorskin Star Foundation & Concealer, Rouge Dior Baume #660 Coquette

Last week I shared with you my experience with the new foundation launches in this post, and I sneakily mentioned my last purchase, the Diorskin Star Foundation, alongside the concealer from the same line and the specially designed sponge. I also picked up one of the new Rouge Dior Baumes, in the shade 660 Coquette. Let’s have a closer look!

Diorskin Star Backstage Rouge Dior Baume Coquette

Diorskin Star Foundation
As I already mentioned, this foundation is perfect.
I like to apply it with fingers as usual, as with a small pump it covers the skin quickly and evenly, but works well with the designed sponge and my Sephora #56 Brush too.
It covers like medium-full foundation whilst managing to look natural, and controls oil keeping a gorgeous glow.
What is outstanding is the lasting power: it literally lasts all day, from early morning to late at night and it looks amazing from application to removal. I’ve only met a few other products like this, but none of them had that gorgeous natural glow to it. My Benefit Big Easy has been outstanding this summer, but that luminosity surely wasn’t there.
The shade range is not the most estensive but it has some good options, and the shade 020 is perfect for my light but golden skintone and is a really flattering shade.
I have been choosing this one over all the others I own almost on a daily basis, it’s love!

Diorskin Star Concealer
I picked this up because I heard some good things about it, but without too many expectations as I’d been hooked on my Make Up Forever Full Coverage one. Well, I should have had more faith in Dior!
It covers beautifully but is so smooth and moisturizing that is really perfect for the under eye area. It works well on other areas of the face too though, making it a good all rounder.
The biggest problem I have with under eye concealer is the creasing, and I’m happy to repost this does last well! Another winner.

Dior Backstage Blender
This beautiful black sponge looked so intriguing that I couldn’t leave it there, and for less than €15 it wasn’t too expensive either.
Applies this foundation beautifully, but for me is not a must have: I find I have to use two pumps instead of one and it’s a little bit more time consuming, but this foundation is so gorgeous that even a little bit more product looks beautiful!
It’s good for perfecting the coverage in some areas and I love it to blend in the concealer a little bit better on the redness on my cheek, so it’s good to have when I need a more perfected look.
If you love to apply foundation with sponges like this I would really recommend it!

Diorskin Star Foundation Concealer Dior Rouge Baume Coquette Swatches

Rouge Dior Baume in 660, Coquette
This is exactly the kind of lip product that I love. Sheer, hydrating, soft… But with a good color pay off.
It’s a gorgeous deep reddish rose, with no shimmer in sight and it’s really comforting like a balm. I’ve been wearing it almost daily, and I love reapplying it when I start to feel the moisturizing feel a bit less.
It’s a perfect lip product with amazing texture, a gorgeous color and the beautiful Dior packaging. The gorgeous logo on the top wear off after a couple of wears unfortunately, but it’s always the case!
I couldn’t be happier with my purchase, as I love it more than my Rouge Dior Addicts and other sheer lipsticks in my collection!

Dior hasn’t failed to impress me with its latest launches, they always make some amazing products!

Have you tried any of these? Let me know your thoughts!
