Catrice Prime and Fine Pore Refining Anti-Shine Base

Cheap primer, that gets the job done. It has no smell and it's silicone free. It also increases longevity of my makeup and I noticed that once when I didn't have it with me. Before I thought it was rubbish. But it's not and now I'm already on second tube.

Zoeva brushes
These brushes are amazing. They aren't exactly cheap, but they aren't expensive either. Mine have been through several cleaning, yet they look and perform the same as when I got them.

L'oreal Infallible

200 Golden Sand

The best foundation I've tried from drugstore so far. The shade selection is not the best, but slightly better than Infallible 24h - Matte. This is actually too dark for me, so I'm always mixing it with some lighter foundation to get my perfect match. The longevity of it is great (approximatley 8 hours). I have some changes in my skin during the different times of the year. In the winter it tends to get dry and in the summer I have oily T-zone. It works for me in all seasons. It has good medium, buildable coverage.

Balea Reinigungs Öl
Great oil for removing makeup that's cheap. Balea did a bad move when they decided to discountinue makin this product, since it was so hyped up. Bad move, Balea.

Catrice Liquid Camouflage

005 Light Natural, 020 Light Beige

A budget friendly concealer that has medium, yet buildable coverage. It doesn't cover tattooes as it claims, but it is indeed waterproof. It turns slightly darker on my face as it is in the tube. 

Milani Amore Matte Lip Creme

32 Emotion, 14 Devotion

They deserved their place in my Best of 2016 because of the great longevity. If you eat a greasy meal, it will melt down, otherwise it last a long time (on me for around 10 hours). I have to use something moisturizing underneath to make it work and it starts to feel a bit drying after 5 hours on my lips. 

Jordana Matte Lipstick

61 Classic Nude
Another one that's here because of the longevity. It's cheap and performs great, what else you could wish? Oh right, better packaging. The packaging is really bad quality, so I'm super careful with it when I'm taking the lipstick with me. 

Nyx Slide On, Glide On, Stay On & Definetly a Turn On Waterproof, Extreme Shine Eye Liner

Golden Bronze

And the award for the longest name goes to this product. I hate the long name it has and can't help my judgy self. On the other side I adore its longevity on my waterline and the color is beyond amazing. Perfect eyeliner pencil for bronze lovers.

Essence Make Me Brow

02 Browny Brows

I can't do my makeup without this gel. I'm obssesed how good my eyebrows look with it, it gives them some thickness and they stay in place all day. 

 Dita Von Teese
Erotique
Another product that's discountinued from our drugstores. Now I'm using it sparingly, just for special occasions. At first it smells spicy and then it turns to a lovely rose scent with leathery feel to it.

L'oreal Color Riche Le Vernis a L'Huile

672 Gris Decadent, 556 Grenat Irreverent

Only nail polishes I've found so far that last on my nails whole 4 days. So imagine how happy I was, when I discovered them. Mine apply evenly, without any visible streaks and it's opacity is on point. Definitely my favorite drugstore nail polishes. The bottle itself is stunning, something unique, something different from those standard drugstore nail polish bottles.

Batiste
XXL Volume
My favorite one out of Batiste dry shampoos. It gives me that volume that I miss in scented version and god knows I need it. I have a feeling that it does it's job better with removing greasiness than scented version.


Primark candles
I burn scented candles like crazy. So basically I'm a candle junkie. These are cheap, yet they smell nice. Smell is not intense by any means, but for 1€ price tag they smell just enough. They have nice minimalistic jar packaging (I re-use most of the jars). 

Klaas

I know he doesn't fall into beauty category, but I'm a big animal lover, so I have to mention it. For ages I have only cats, yes crazy cat lady and in September 2016 me and my boyfriend got a pitbull puppy. Named him Klaas, because my bestfriend has a dog named Joko. If you ever watched Circus Halligalli, you know where the names are from. If you think he's dangerous beacause of his breed, you're wrong. He adores people and likes to cuddle a lot.

REAL TECHNIQUES MIRACLE COMPLEXION SPONGE

Since I've got it and tried it out for the first time, I've used only this one every day for applying my foundation. So this says enough how impressed I am about this sponge. I've owned only original Ebelin sponge before this one and honestly, I can say this one is far better. The Real Techniques one is a lot softer and bouncier (if that makes any sense) and it doesn't soak up so much foundation as Ebelin sponge. I like this sponge so much, that I didn't use Real Techniques Expert Face Brush since I got the Miracle Complexion sponge.



ESSENCE MAKE ME BROW 02 BROWNY BROWS
 I already wrote a review about this product, so I'll try to keep it short. It's an amazing product for a little money. It fills my brows with it's little fibers perfectly and yet they look pretty natural. It won't move or budge for hours, well until the end of my day atleast and even then I had some problems removing it.



MILANI AMORE MATTTE LIP CREME 14 DEVOTION
At first I've had some problems with the formula of this lipstick. But I adored this shade so much, so I gave it a good try. I exfoliated the hell out of my lips and before applying the lipstick, I applied a thin layer of balm. And voila, it worked. The lipstick stayed on, it didn't crumble anymore. You can find my review here, if you want to know more and see swatches of this beautiful liquid lipstick. Everytime I wanted a red lipstick, I chose this one and I must say that was often.



MANHATTAN X-TREME LAST LIPLINER 34N
This lipliner I used along with the Milani Amore Matte Lip Creme in shade Devotion. The shade is lighter than Devotion.

ESSENCE I LIKE LONG LASHES!
Some time ago, I saw a picture with pretty long lashes on Instagram. I coudn't believe the mascara was from Essence, so I had to try it for myself. The result were long lashes with minimal volume, so I liked it immediately. In the result it resembles to L'oreals Volume Million Lashes Excess mascara, which is my all time favourite so far. I like that it has a small plastic kind of a brush. The only con is that it smudges after an hour on my lower lashes.


What were your favorites for month August?

 This month I bought three, all of them in the DM store.

I bought Baleas Vanilla & coconut just because there's nothing better than the scent of coconut. Love the smell, but I didn't try this one yet.

Afrodita Orange cream smells amazing! This line of cream shower gels is silicone, paraben & paraffin free. They also have three varieties more, Vanilla cream, Raspberry cream and Pistachio cream. I smelled all of them and they all smell so amazingly good.

Balea Luxury Red Love I bought this one because of that beautiful red color. It smells good, but it's nothing special. It's with coconut & peach scent, however I couldn't smell the coconut at all.

 This month I also decided to try out some Aussie products, because I have read that they have good products. My expectations were set very high with this brand. I can't review these two products, but I can tell you my first impression of them. 

The first time I washed my hair with Repair miracle shampoo, my hair felt hard and dull. And when they were completely dry I was in shock how bad they looked. Despite the first impression of the product I decided to give it a try and use up this bottle.

I don't have anything bad to say, about the Miracle dry shampoo hovewer. When I tried it out, my hair didn't look greassy anymore at all. They were looking silky and smoth and they felt soft on touch, so it does what a dry shampoos is supposed to do.
