My essentials for 3 days

· Beauty

Weekend in Auvergne means toilet case for 3 days. I thought it might be interesting to show you the beauty products I will bring during these few days.

The occasion to describe my latest favourite products and make-up routine (which is not very complicated). Your advices are also welcome if you also have fetish products.

 

Moisturize my skin

This winter, no matter how I was trying to moisturize my skin, it couldn’t stop peeling off (I have a combination skin meaning some areas are oily and others dehydrated = the most difficult to take care of). I’ve had the impression that the warmer weather has helped my skin so far and it’s been going pretty much fine with these products:

♦ Micellar cleansing water NUXE (Travel size) : I use it every night to remove the make up on my face (I do not use the tap water anymore) and the morning before applying my moisturizers.

♦ Hydragenist Moisturizing serum LIERAC : I apply it before my day cream for a good moisture without greasing (during winter it was not enough, who knows why it works now). I use it also at night sometimes if needed.

♦ Moisturizing cream Crème fraîche de beauté NUXE : this winter my skin was a bit itchy and heating up with every kind of lotions so I opted for this one (I sometimes also use the one from Avène). The smell is nice and the texture well tolerated by my skin.

 

Make-up my face

Blush brush Marionnaud

 

♦ Accord parfait L’ORÉAL PARIS powder (available here): sometimes I apply a light fluid foundation but this powder can be enough when used as foundation. It matifies and unifies the skin for a few hours. However I really need to moisturize before applying it.

♦ Pressed cheek colours LES MERVEILLEUSES DE LADURÉE (available here): It’s really the packaging that attracted me: I had the feeling that this cheek colours could have been Sailor Moon’s one! Inside, a small cushion to spread the blush: nothing revolutionary but the colour stays the whole day on the cheeks.

 

Highlight the eyes and the lips

Sunnies Carlina Chloé
Watch ASOS
Tweezer (gift from my cousin)

 

♦ “Super Liner Black Lacquer” eyeliner L’ORÉAL PARIS (available here): My absolute favourite but someone told me that they might stop producing it. Therefore I’ve started stocking them up. If you know a good waterproof eyeliner such as this one, I’m very interested by your recommendations to avoid investing in 36 eyeliners Black Lacquer to make sure I will have enough until 2030.

♦ Khôl LANCÔME “gris bleu” pencil (available here): lately I’ve been using this one to underline the lower part of the eyes and redefine my eyebrows (the rendering is more grey-black than blue, thankfully).

I also like the badgal waterproof pencil “Etain” from Benefit but I couldn’t find it in the shop last time: so I bought this one instead! Sometimes I redefine my eyebrows with L’Oréal Paris Brow artist sculpt for a rendering more pronounced (as you can see here). But for just one weekend, I didn’t want to bring too many products.

♦ Lipstick “Dior addict Be Dior 976” DIOR (available here), Rouge Pur Couture The Mats “Rose crazy 202” YSL (available here) & Color Riche “Place Vendôme 364” L’ORÉAL PARIS (available here): I took 3 differents just in case. I use them quite often in look pictures: so you can see how it looks in live (here, here and there).

 

and Bonus…

Sunny Paris

· Fashion

Apparently, we’ve been garanteed a sunny week! Let’s make the most of it, especially as the temperatures are ideal for the dress/lightweight blouse + light jacket. For my part, I’m keeping a bandana around my neck for those chilly mornings, but I gladly got my summer tennis shoes out.

 

Safe bet

I ordered the Superga basics, that I already have in pink and silver : it’s a safe bet and comfort-wise, it’s a nice departure from the Stan Smiths, as they’re not as thick and more feminine. There are so many white tennis shoes options nowadays that it’s nice to alternate amongst all of them!
