Top 10 Make Up Products

#8 Bourjois Shimmering Eyshadow 
Bourjois Eyshadow
I read once Bourjois is the mass cosmetic version of Chanel make up product. Well, I have Chanel eyeshadows palettes and I have to admit the single packed Bourjois ones do have nothing to envy as shimmering and texture. I am not a eyeshadow girl honestly, ususally  I barely wear colors on my eyes. And I have some fundamental  make-up style rules, one of these is: wear shimmering only for party nights! Day shimmers are totally offensive! However, when you go for it, I suggestion to wear one, dark, shimmering color. So stylish! 


#9 Rimmel 1000 Kisses
1000 Kisses Rimmel
This is a new entry in Rimmel house! Finally the British brand launched the new long lasting pencil lipstick (I remember to have seen these kind of long-lasting pencil in the States branded Covergirl and Revlon)! I love these pencil, easy to use, do not melt in summer (I had lost so many good lipsticks cause i forgot them in my bag during summer) and they LAST for real! Awwww I want all colors!




#10 Lancome Absolu Rouge n. 151
Lancome Absolu Rouge
Last but definitely not least. This is the red lipstick. This is the king of the lipstick. I ADORE this lipstick. I love the rich texture, the true red color, the flower smell, the smoothens effect. One of the most important fundamental  make-up style rules is that a red lipstick makes a look: completely change your style in a second. Even a boring office suit become a sexy outfit if you wear red luscious lips. Trust me. Men absolutely find red lips irresistible.

L'Oreal True Match Concealer
#4 L'Oreal TRUE MATCH CONCEALER 
I used to love Clinique concealer: I have found a great substitute with this L'Oreal version. Great coverage and light texture. Plus I love the applicator: I hate stick version, they get dry on my skin leaving horrible marks!


Mac Bronzer Powder


#5 Mac Bronzer Powder
This bronzer give me an istant sun-glow look just so natural! And in summer, when Italian heat does not allow you to wear any foundation (I believe is offensive seeing women with a lot of make up generally, but even more offensive is to see them in summer!) I love just to wear this powder!


#6 Dior Black Out Mascara
Dior Black Out
This is the BEST EVER mascara! And trust me, I tried so many! It worths every single penny (and well, save a lot of pennies for it!). Do you want length? Done! Do you need volume? Here, you have it! Do you hate clumps? Not a single one! Do you like natural look? One coat will do the job! Do you have a party-night? A second coat for veeery sexy feline eyes!
Chanel Eye Definer


#7 Chanel Precision Eye Definer
Do you have in mind Angelina Jolie sexy defined eyes? Well I believe this pencil is her secret. Seriously. Last all day. Precise, easy to blend and so glamorous. Yes, it is a must.

Top 10 Make-Up Products

Benefit Dr. Feelgood
Here are my favorite make up products! The ones are always in my beauty bag! For my everyday look as well for my evening look. I love luxury brand products as much as I love spending hours around popular brands expositor in drugstores. 
Let's start from the base!


#1 Benefit Dr. Feelgood 
This is my greatest make-up secret! I use as primer for make up as well as I keep it always in my bag with me to retouch my face during the day! Contains Vitamin E, moisturized and smooth my skin in an istant! A real bless for y complexion!! 


L'Oreal Infallible

#2 L'Oreal INFALLIBLE FOUNDATION 
A is a new discovery for me. I bought in London as I forgot my foundation, and as I was there only for a weekend I had to save space in my make-up bag, so this foundation was perfect with the brush already insert on top of the confection. Does not really last for 24 hours as advertised but pretty much for 8 good stressing office hours: for me is quite a good and honest deal!


Kiko BB Cream
#3 Kiko Milano BB Cream 
A valid alternative to foundation, is the revolutionary BB Cream: a mix between a moisturizing and a cover cream. Kiko is an Italian brand, from Milan (I love my city) and they have just launched this light color cream: revolutionary if you looking for a natural finish. Quite good wester alternative to the legendary eastern sister!

Natural Beauty Tip

Nivea cream, Milan €9.90
I wanna share with you a beauty secret I recently discovered: the new NIVEA face cream from the PURE & NATURAL line. 
Simply a great everyday cream: light and enriched with aloe vera, leaves my skin perfectly moisturized and smooth. It is a perfect base for make up as my skin absorbes it so quickly leaving no any oily excess on my T-zone area. It is really a great product and I am happy to know that is from 95% natural products (I read the aloe is from an organic cultivation). I believe my skin is pretty happy no to be covered with chemical staff and artificial colors. 
I actually have seen some improvements in the texture of my skin: I have been using this cream for over three months now and I have already bought a new one as I am running out of mine. Last but not least, it will please your eyes (and your wallet) to read that in Milan is sold in most supermarket for only 9.90! I love beauty tips which are also affordable!!
