Lip gloss: MAC Cremesheen lip glass
-And I don't even like lips glosses :D I love the color but the inci is not that nice :P I prefer natural ingredients.
-price: 22€ in Finland
-I just got lip glosses from Suds n Sass and I really like these too, maybe Suds n Sass in my own color (see my previous posts ;) is even nicer that MAC!

"A lip finish that fuses the creamy, sheen-filled nature of Cremesheen Lipstick with the shine of M∙A∙C Lipglass. Soft, comfortable, non-sticky. Applies with a doe-foot applicator."

Corrector: Make up Store Cover all mix (Cover all blue)
-well, covers all :D Great for my dark under eyes. Formula is very dry & pigmented, I sometimes mix this with Aromaleigh Just the balm ma'am-lip balm.
-29 € (Cover all blue separately 18 €)

"Cover All Mix is a high pigmented concealer that neutralizes and covers. The yellow concealer covers red areas such as spots and blood vessels.

"Eye Shadow primer from Detrivore Cosmetics is soft and creamy. Just a tiny amount can help keep your shadow on all day. It is designed to help adhere loose eye shadow, glitters, and pigments. It is also somewhat water resistant, although not water proof.

The Eye Shadow Primer from Detrivore Cosmetics is safe and natural.This is a handmade formula that took months of effort, experiments, and research. I believe that my shadow primer is one of the best natural primers for sale. There will be imperfections because it is hand blended and poured. "

Perfume: Estee Lauder Sensuous
-I love this warm, feminine scent!

"features notes of ghost lily accord, magnolia, jasmine petals, molten woods, amber, sandalwood, black pepper, juicy mandarin pulp and honey. It starts out rich and syrupy and sweet — it is vaguely reminiscent of the spiced stewed fruits opening that characterizes so many Serge Lutens fragrances, albeit done here in a lighter, less exotic cast " From NST.

Mascara: LashStiletto waterproof
