Missha: M Perfect Cover BB Cream RX in shade 23

At this moment believe me or not, I don’t own a single liquid foundation. I gave up on them for a while and rely entirely on my powder foundations and still strongly popular BB creams.

M Perfect Cover BB Cream RX is the first product I ever bought from famous Korean brand Missha, so I am not familiar with the original formula – M Perfect Cover BB and cannot compare them. This is supposed to be some kind of upgraded version, with additional anti-age benefits and higher coverage. I got mine in shade 23 and in travel size because I needed to try it first before committing to the whole size, which can be, as we all know quite expensive, especially if you buy the wrong shade.

This BB cream comes in 7 shades and number 23 is right in the middle, but still very bright. I can use it only now when I’m in my pale phase. The next shade is number 25 which looks very dark at first glance, but maybe it would work for me.

I use this mostly on my T-zone, to cover up my sunspots and under my eyes along with my concealer. They cooperate just nicely. I always apply it with my fingers, because it blends so easily. It works great with my oily skin. Although it is supposed to be moisturizing, it is not making me greasy and I use it over my daily moisturizer. Sometimes I top it with my sheer powder, so it is flawless for the whole day.

It provides light, but buildable coverage and looks very natural and flattering. It is a real skin perfector with that healthy glow. I also love the packaging which is so inviting and practical for application.

So if you are in search of a BB cream, I would highly recommend it.

Relaxation before sleep – watching beauty YouTube channels

(taken from: Tati Westbrook Instagram) Glam Life Guru - Tati Westbrook Tati from L.A. is my favorite ˝YouTuber˝. Her channel was first which I subscribed to and watched regularly. I found it by coincidence, when I was searching for… you know something. She posts videos every work day, so she is very involved in this YouTube thing, I would say it’s her primary occupation. She recently launched her makeup line, she collaborates with Amazon and some magazines. I believe her reviews are honest, although things are often sent or given to her. Her descriptions, tests, comparisons and swatches of products are very good. Her videos look very professional. They are also very versatile, from testing the most ridiculously expensive products to the cheapest ones. She mostly filmes in her (new) beauty room, once a week she’s testing how new makeup items perform during running errands. And those kinds of videos I like to watch the most. Recently her fiancé is also pretty involved i

Artdeco: Crystal and Amazing effect mascaras

Artdeco become my favorite ˝drugstore˝ brand. They have high quality products with good ingredients and their production in based in Germany. I think I got rid of all ˝Made in China˝ makeup and decided to avoid some brands in big circle. Quality over quantity – that is my motto for this year. I want to reduce the number of my makeup products and be a selective and not impulsive buyer. Anyway let me show you two of my recent purchases (there were quite a few) from Artdeco. Crystal mascara&liner ˝Onyx Glamour˝ First I saw Crystal lash mascara top coat from Estee Lauder and got excited as kid, but that one is expensive and always sold out. Then I saw that Artdeco has something similar and could be a great and cheaper (half that price) dupe for Estee, but sadly I was wrong. This is transparent mascara/liner with black and silver shimmer. You could use it alone or as top coat over your favorite mascara to add some sparkle. The product looks great on lashes; it

Artdeco: Mission Ruby Rose eye palette review

The holiday season is a great time for companies to release their limited edition palettes that are very suitable for gifting or just treating yourself to something new… and sparkly. This little gem comes from Artdeco and has a very appealing name – Mission Ruby Rose. It contains eight eye shadows: two mattes, two satin, and four metallics. The pigmentation varies from shade to shade, which is very usual for the brand. Their products can be either a hit or a miss. Metallics are highly pigmented and just stunning, but full of shimmer, so be prepared for that. Luckily that glitter did not fall all over my face, but it made me nervous during the day… Those shades would be perfect for glamorous looks. The same thing is with mattes, although they are not so ˝loud˝, but can be easily build up. They are very buttery and easy to blend. The satin ones were a disappointment. They provide just a hint of color and are too bright for my taste. Overall it is a solid drugstore palette to add some sp
