Daily Routine - Make Up

It has been a while since I first began to put make-up on everyday. From learning how to draw a good eye-line to conceal any faults on the skin, I have read a lot and believed to use different products.

But really, less is more and now I have learnt to use as minimal as I can. These are the ones that currently I am using. Some to me are just okay, hoping to finish off, some, on the other hand, are my favourites currently.

Foundation (not always)

Concealer

Mineral Powder (or loose powder) / Foundation compact

Bronzer (ideally matte)

Kohl eyeliner/ Cream eyeliner

Brow pencil/ powder

Pink/ Champagne Eye Shadow

Mascara

Lip Gloss/ Coloured Lip Balm

My current favourite is the Maybelline Dream concealer, which I wish to buy another one, but don't think I have seen it anywhere in shop, does anyone know?

Clarins Lip Gloss and Burt's Bee Lip Balm, both are good which hopefully I will write about them later on.

And that it was so shocking that it was so difficult to find a matte (or at least not very shimmering) bronzer, unless you go for more branded ones like Nars or MAC, the one that I got from Korres in Raffle City was super cheap. S$10 for a 11g compact, that's even more than the Bourjoris Bronzer that I am intending to buy from ASOS!

My Lip Care Collection

As i took out all my lip balm & salve, I finally realised how many lip care product I have... So this post is a post that I stop buying lip balm...i suppose... but then, I think I have jsut order a few recently which will hopefully arrive soon...@.@

L- R:

1. Avon Care Dry Skin SoS Lip Cream - which just arrived today

2. Molton Brown Vitamin Lipsaver - the most expensive in the bunch

3. Uriage Stick Protecteur

4. Johnson's Pearly Lip - the worst

5. Natural Collection Vanilla Lip Salve - the lemon one is better taste

6. Burt's Bees Replemishing Lip Balm

7. Za Vitamin Lip - the only SPF26 lip balm I have

8. Avon Care Lip Balm (Christmas Edition)

9. Balm Balm Tea Tree Lip Balm - I actually use it as face cream more than lip balm

10. The Body Shop Born Lippy - I have 2 of them, though I don't actually really like them.

Moistursing & Protecting:

1,2,3,8 are the best

Price:

2 is the most $$, £10.50 each for 7ml.

8. is the cheapest, only 50p when I got it.

Weight/ Volume:

1 &10 are the heaviest, 10ml each. Others are around 4.5g / 5ml each

Conclusion:

Consider all the factors, I will buy both of the Avon ones again. Although I like the Molton Brown one, its kind of too costly. The worst is the Johnson's one as when your lips are dry, you don't want your lips to coated with a pearly gloss as it exaggerated the dry lines.

Score from highest - lowest: 8>3>1>2>6>5>9>7>10>4

What do you think of them then?
