You just can't get enough of these

For beauty junkies who quiver in excitement at the sight of new products, here are a few more for you. There’s nothing wrong with being a beauty junkie; it just means that you know how to take care of yourself. Nothing is wrong with wanting to look your best either. So I say, keep it up.

I have already tried and tested the products shown here. I won’t recommend these products to you if I have not tried them. But all of us have different skin conditions, so you also have to see if they are suited for your type of skin. This is why there is a never-ending search for that perfect product to meet your beauty needs.

Makeup

Liquid Foundation

• Lancome. All you need is a drop of this silky liquid which gives you enough coverage and makes you look like you’re hardly wearing anything! This product will give your skin an instant glow. It also smoothes out lines and imperfections. It’s perfect for long night-outs. Best of all, it’s retouch free. This is one of my personal favorites.

Non-liquid Foundation

• Laura Mercier foundation stick. This brand has been proven both here and abroad. It is also a favorite of professionals. It’s best for keeping skin tone even and provides enough coverage. It feels light on the skin.

Loose Powder

• Mac. With a wide range of colors to choose from, its fine granules will set foundations well, giving a "real skin" look.

Dual finish Powder

• Mac Studio Fix dual finish powders can be worn dry or wet. It gives enough coverage for day wear and also has all the colors to go with all skin tones.

Crème Foundation

• Inuovi Studiocake. This crème wonder foundation has fine pigments that feel light when applied and give enough coverage. It is a favorite among models and professional makeup artists. It’s also one of my personal faves.

• Clarins eyebrow pencil. This is a very handy eyebrow pencil to have. Just twist, apply, blend with the brush on the other end of the pencil and you have natural-looking eyebrows!

• 3 custom color pencil eyeliner. This pencil glides on smoothly without hurting your delicate eyes. It simply creates magic. It’s another personal fave.

• Lancome juicy tubes. Gloss that comes in all colors! This has a yummy fruity scent and gives great shine. It comes in a tube so it’s very handy. Perfect for daywear. It’s the gloss I can’t live without.

• Lancome juicy rouge. This product will give you enough color and lasting juicy shine at the same time – the best of both worlds!

• Lancome color focus palette. A complete eye palette that has four monochromatic colors to brighten up your look from day to evening. It comes in matte and shimmer colors, too.

• Tarte cheek stain. A favorite among makeup pros both here and abroad. This sheer stick is not only easy to apply, it works on most skin colors. You can even dab it on your lips, too, and you’re all set!

• Lancome Definicils. This mascara promises to lengthen lashes without clumping and it really does the job! The secret weapon? A patented brush that evenly coats the lashes.

Anti-wrinkle treatment

• ROC Retinol Actif. This contains AHAs and retinol, two anti-aging ingredients clinically proven to minimize fine lines in a gentle formula. This product is suitable for all skin types, which is why dermatologists like it.

Anti-wrinkle treatment

• Prescriptives Super. A line preventor. During the day, it protects the skin against stress and environmental assaults. At night, it minimizes the appearance of lines and wrinkles and prevents long-term damage. What I love about this product is that you can use it as base to products you already use.

Skin Care

Eye cream

•Kiehl’s creamy eye treatment. This has avocado oil, so it’s high in Vitamins A and E. It gently moisturizes the delicate eye area.

Mask

• Aveda Intensive Hydrating Masque. For that extra moisture your skin needs, this mask will help. All you need is 15 minutes once or twice a week and you’ll see and feel the results!

Makeup remover

• Mac eye make-up remover. A non-oily formula that gently removes the makeup. It’s suitable for all skin types.

Oily Skin

Cleanser

• Lancome Pure Focus. This new product is a deep cleanser formulated for oily skin. It has powerful micro-captors specially developed to target the deepest pores and immediately absorb excess sebum. The result – pores are tightened and skin is velvety.

Moisturizer

• Origins Oil Manager. It contains nature’s oil-refiners which quickly take away shine and reduce flare-ups to make oily skin look and feel smoother, clearer, pore-free. It firms, comforts, softens and fights free radicals. I also use this product as makeup base to help makeup stay on longer.

•La Prairie cellular moisturizer both hydrates the skin and has SPF 15. It is called the "smart cream." It can also be used as a makeup base.

Toner

• Dermalogica multi-active toner. This ultra-light, hydrating spritz increases your skin’s moisture level as it smooths the surface. Lavender, balm mint, and arnica combined with moisturizing proteins and soothing aloe vera instantly condition the skin for more effective moisture absorption.

Mask

• Aveda Intensive Hydating Masque. For that extra moisture your skin needs, this mask will help. All you need is 15 minutes once or twice a week and you’ll see and feel the results!
