8 All time favorite cosmetic products


I'm really critical when it comes to changing cosmetic products. This year though, I really force myself to try new products. I'm listening to a rather boring class and all I have in my mind is shopping in Zürich. In about 2 hours I will be heading to Zürich city with my classmates. I will primarily be looking for new cosmetic products even though I already know it will be hard to convince me. Besides, you have to know that there are less cosmetic brands in Switzerland than anywhere else I've been. We don't have Makeupforever, Benefit, and so on. This is one of the reasons why I usually buy cosmetic products in Switzerland but rather buy in Korea or Germany or at airports in case I have to transfer. 

Here you see my 8 all time favorite cosmetic product I use on a daily basis.

☺ I wore this BB Cream the whole summer when I was in Korea. Although the air was extremely humid and hot, the BB Cream was always on my side and never turned greasy or caky. It's not too thick but at the same times does a great job when it comes to covering and stays the whole day! AMAZING

☺ After every wash with the Shiseido Cleansing Foam my skin feels newly born and so soft. I can literally feel that it takes away all the grease and makeup from my face. What I like about it is that rubbing creates a lot of foam. The finer the foam the deeper it goes into your pores to clean! 

☺ My eyelashes usually point down if I don't apply any mascara. Even if I curl lashes usually mascara would make it wet so my lashes bow down again. Max Factor Waterproof mascara though adds even more volume and my lashes stay up and long more than 24h. I even went swimming with this mascara. No Problemo!
☹ Since it is waterproof, you're actually not supposed to wear it on a daily basis. The product is really thick and hard to remove. I sometimes notice that some of my lashes break when I remove the mascara after a rough party night. 

4. H&M Eyeshadow Palette
I think H&M doesn't sell this palette anymore but a better and newer one.
☺ The natural colors are the best! The eyeshadow powder stays the whole day not if longer. Very easy to apply and lovely colors. The thing with palettes is that you wouldn't use every color but this palette clearly contains so many colors you can use!
☹ The case is very fragile.

☺ In case you have dark circles or visible veins under your eyes, Make Up Forever concealer is probably the best solution. You have to know that I tried like 100 different concealers. This one turned the least greasy and it really makes you look less tired. When it comes to choosing a color it's always the best to ask the shopgirl, trust me. 

☺ Best before cream and after softener / toner. The serum calms your skin after the cleansing. I don't know if it's really like this but I have the feeling that because of the Serum all the makeup products don't turn greasy. 

☺ First of all, i love the scent. Second of all, among all the softeners I have used, this is the least aggressive yet refreshing one.

☺ I have talked about this one in the last post. The best for daily makeup since it's so easy to apply and lasts the whole day. Also when applying powder eyeshadow on it the Maybelline Tattoo eyeshadow can function as a very strong primer. 

As I said multiple times, these are products that I liked the most so far. Even though I already tried trillion different products, I feel that there are better products. For instance the Shu Uemura Foundation is supposed to be really good but I haven't tried it yet. Almost 75% of the products I am addicted to I got to know by recommendations from friends and family. Let me know if you know a good product!
