My foundation collection!

I am currently re-planning my makeup buys and I am really into buying new foundations all the time. My favorite by far is the Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra 24h foundation. I have used a lot of different foundation and I seem to not find that perfect foundation that has it all. But I really do recommend the Lancome foundation. Gives you that flawless coverage but also hydrates your skin.

Last summer, I had a really oily skin. So I used the foundations such as MAC Studio Fix Fluid just because it gives you that full coverage look and also locks down the oiliness. I also used the Rimmel Stay Matte  Liquid Mousse Foundation which also gives you that full coverage face. I think that these two foundations helped me a lot last summer. 

But after the hard winter I had a really dry skin. So I had to re-plan my makeup to suit my skin issues. So I bought the Lancome one (which by far I love the most). I also bought the L'oreal True Match foundation just because it's more lightweight and if you have dry skin you have to moisturizes your skin a lot but also use light weight foundations.

As a makeup junkie I can not live with just some few foundations so I bought the Make Up For Ever HD Foundation. I did a small review on this foundation. My thoughts with this foundation is that it applievery well with a damp beauty blender but I tried it with a stippling brush and I really did not like the finish of it. So for my experience, if you want to buy this foundation use a damp beauty blender. I think it applies so much better. I also tried the Garnier BB Cream Miracle Skin Perfector which is okey I guess but I do not reach for this that much. 

I am on a hunt for the perfect foundation and I really do think your advice's will help me a lot. Please comment down below or on my Instagram: @makeupbyarberesha.

My eyebrow routine and product!

A lot of people are asking me how I do my eyebrows and what kind of products I use. For starter I always check my eyebrows to see that they are even and well trimmed. Then after that I fill them with these products.
I start of using the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz in the color Taupe. I use this to fill in the gaps in my eyebrows. I have good amount of eyebrow hair so I do not have to use the Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade all over my eyebrows like some of the beauty gurus do.
To get the most natural eyebrow look I use the Brow Wiz to fill in the gaps but also do small strokes in the beginning of my eyebrow. Just to get that soft touch. To get the sharp end I use the Dipbrow Pomade and I am in the color Taupe. I like the Pomade just to fill in the end of my eyebrow just to get that crisp fine line at the end. With that I use my Make Up Store eyebrow brush in the number 210.
To finish my eyebrows I put my MAC Pro Longwear Waterproof Brow Set in the color Quiet Brunette.

My contour and bronze - products!

So I am constantly trying new things when it comes too contour and bronze up my face. When I began with makeup I used the e.l.f. Contour and blush palette. But gradually I tried different products. I have always been a more powder-contour and bronzer girl just because I think it is much easier too apply and blend it on your face. I have though used a stick formula from the FitMe collection, Maybelline and I must say it was a pretty good finish.

Then I got my hands on these products and so far they are my favorites to contour and to bronze up my face. For contouring my face I use the Anastasia Beverly Hills contour palette in the color Fawn but sometimes when I am in a hurry I contour my face with the Benefit Cosmetics Hoola bronzer which I hit pan right now and have to purchase a new one. Too bronze up my face I use the Bourjois chocolate powder, or the Black Book of Bronzers from Too Faced.

But another thing I also do, which I got inspiration from the beautiful makeup guru Nikkietutorials, is that I contour my face with the ABH-palette in the color Fawn and then too bronze it up using the Hoola-bronzer from Benefit Cosmetics. I just love the finish of it.

What's your favorite contour/bronzer products?

Eyeshadow palettes collection!

I was out of ideas today for blogging about makeup so I started to clean my vanity. Then I thought that I could do a eyeshadow palettes collection. I don't have a lot of eyeshadow palettes but I still want to show you what I have right now. I am planning to buy other palettes from different brand but a one step at a time.

Right now I have 20 eyeshadow palettes and they are from drugstore but also higher brands such as Too Faced, Urban Decay, Tarte cosmetics, Lorac etc.

Beginning with the biggest one I have and it's this Sephora Chroma Color Eye palette. This was a limited edition during the Christmas Holidays and I got from my sister. The good thing about this palette is that you get a lot of different eyeshadows but also eye pencils. The negative about this one is that it is not travel friendly. I also think that some of the colors in this palette are not that pigmented that I wanted it to be. Sephora eyeshadows, single eyeshadows, are really pigmented but in this palette some of them are choky and not that pigmented.

Another palette I have is from Viva la Diva and you can find these in Sweden in the stores such as Åhlens, Lindes etc. This a very cool and colorful palette. Pretty good pigmentation for a cheap palette. The only negative about this one is that they are all shimmery/metallic colors. I am that kind of girl that wants different variety when it comes to the complexion of the shadows. I want matte, shimmer, satin, metallic etc.

Then I have this Chinese Z-palette that  I got from AliExpress. I have different shadows here that I have forgotten from which brand they are.

Some months ago e.l.f. Studio Cosmetics came up with the Beauty Book and the launched different looks. I got the Smoky Look from my friend. I really do like e.l.f. just because it is cheap and you get a good product. Too be honest I haven't tried this one yet but just for swathing these colors I must say I am a little bit disappointed. You will get four matte/satin colors and the two shimmery colors. For the matte ones they are not pigmented at all. They are choky. But when it comes to the shimmery colors they are really pigmented and good quality.

Then I have my Meis professional Make-up Eyeshadow palette from Macedonia. I bought this one in a market from my hometowns in Struga and I must say I really do love it. They are all matte colors so you can do a lot of different looks with it but also combine it with other palettes.

Then I have this old palette from IsaDora. It's the Color Palette that includes 4 eyeshadows, 1 lip color and 1 blush. I really do love this palette just because of the color and the pigmentation of it. Just  because the palette is old does not mean that you can't use your eyeshadow palettes. The thing is that you really have too take care of your makeup. You can't have your makeup in place that is too hot or too cold.

Yet another palette from Macedonia. The complexion of these shadows are a lot like the Make Up Geeks foiled eyeshadows. Really, really, really pigmented but you can have fall outs when you apply the shadows on your lids.

As for much newer IsaDora I bought myself two of the eye shadow palette in the colors 50 matte chocolates and 60 crystal glitz. Pretty good pigmentation for a drugstore palette. I really recommend these.

I have heard a lot of good things about Sleek Make-Up so I bought a i-Divine Mineral Based Eye Shadow Palette in the color Celestial 445. You will get 12 eyeshadows all from matte to satin to shimmery colors. Too be honest I only like four colors from this palette; Galactic, Earth Shine, Lunar and Eclipse.

Then we have the famous and on of my top favorite makeup brands; tarte Cosmetics. I bought the Christmas Holiday collection that came in a huge box. In that box you would get two eyeshadow palettes, two blushes, three lip products, two mascaras, three eye pencils. The quality of these shadows are really good. I also like the natural colors that included in these palettes. Plus they are travel friendly and doesn't take a lot of place.

Then we have the famous Naked-palettes from Urban Decay. I feel like the hype of the Naked-palettes have become a little down and shut. Maybe because of the newer brands come up with different palettes, I really don't know. I have all three of the Naked palettes and I really like them but my all time favorite is the Naked 2 just because I think it completes my blue/green eye color. I have a dupe of the Naked and Naked 2 palette and it's this Nudie palette from Viva la Diva. If you have this brand near you I really recommend this for the beginners. Before you buy expensive makeup you can practice you technique with a brand like this. This Nudie palette is really good and has that good pigmentation.

Lorac Pro palette one of my favorite but I have forgotten to use it because of my Too Faced palettes. But a really good palette. I also want the Lorac 2 Pro palette.

Ah my darlings! The Too Faced Chocolate Bar palette and the Semi Sweet. These are my all time favorites right now. I can use them daily. I really like the palettes by them selves but also combining these two to create a good eye look. Plus it smells so good. I highly recommend these palettes!

Next blog post will be all my bronzers and blushes! 

Have a wonderful Friday, 

With all love.

Make Up For Ever and Nars Cosmetics

My favorite foundation (from Lancome the Teint Idole Ultra 24h) ran out and I wanted to try something new. I was thinking about buying the same brand and formula of foundation but as a makeup addict I want to try all of the brands. So this time I bought the Make Up For Ever HD foundation.

I have been using this foundation for a week now and I must say it is very good and you can build up the coverage. I like the finish touch of foundation and I apply it with a beauty blender. I will try too apply it with a brush and see if it gives the same effect like the beauty blender. The good thing about this product is that you can take great pictures with that light on your face. It is all because this foundation does not have a SPF. If you have a foundation that has SPF be aware that when take pictures with flashlights on you will tend to have a really white flash on your face. SPF is really good too have during summer times. You have to be very careful and take care of your skin. So if you are really sensitive for sun then this foundation is no good for you. But you can use it night time. As I said before it is as really good foundation. Gives you that natural complexion and its oil free. I got the color N115.

Every time when I go to Sephora and I have a special product too buy I tend to buy a lot more products. I have no need to buy a new concealer but this Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer caught my eyes. I have never tried this product before so it was time for me to buy it. I bought the color Light 1 Chantilly. I use this too conceal under my eyes but also to highlight my face. It is up to you how you want to highlight your face but I really love the Kim Kardashian contour and highlighted face. Before I bought this one I used my MAC Pro Longwear Concealer, Maybeline Anti-Age concealer, Maybeline FitMe concealer and so much more. I like product but I feel like its almost the same complexion like the MAC one.

tarte Cosmetics - Amazonian clay 12-hour Blush

I love my blushes. I am all into those colored cheeks during spring, summer, autumn and winter time. Lately I have been using these two blushes from tarte Cosmetics. They are really good and they stay on your cheeks for a long time during the day. The good thing about tarte Cosmetics is that they are a makeup brand that has different products for you. Their pigmentation om their products are really high quality.

The colors I have included in the big box that where in CVS during the Christmas Holidays. I got the colors Pampered and Savored. Pampered is a more pink coral color. Perfect for the summer. Savored is a more taupe pink color which is good for all the seasons.

When I got the blushes I swatches them on my hands and I have to be honest the pigmentation wasn't that good. I thought that this would have been a bad product but I did not give up. So I tried them on my cheeks with a blush brush from Real Techniques and I must say they applied very well.

I sometimes mix them together because I think it gives me that perfect amount of color I want. 

What do you think about these blushes? Do you have some tarte Cosmetics products, please do tell me?
