Glossy: Maybelline Vivid Hot lacquer  I got the shades So Hot and Classic. The first one is a bright orangey red and the other one is a darker red. They are both beautiful. I wear them almost every day. I also prefer putting them on and wiping them off gently so that I am left with a nice, natural shade of red that looks like I have nothing on. They last for a long time and they don’t smudge, even if you don’t use a lip pencil. Even after having lunch, they don’t come off completely. I love the applicator and I will keep it after the product runs out.  Matte: Dermacol Matte Mania liquid lip colour, shade 55 This is my go-to for classy matte red lips. I apply it with one stroke and wait a little until it dries. It is very light, I always forget I have it on. It is highly pigmented and the color is long-lasting and intense. It does not dry your lips. I still have it on after lunch, but is does come off a little if you wipe your lips. It is paraben-free and ve...

I don’t usually use foundation so I’ve always tried to find a product that makes me look good and has SPF. Since I started to get sun spots, I realized that I can’t go out in the sun anymore without something that protects my skin. I used sunscreen but I didn’t like the smell or the way it looked on me – sometimes when I sweated it turned white. I love this BB cream – it makes me look fresh and healthy, even when I’m tired or I don’t feel well, it makes my skin look dewy. I don’t use a primer or anything else, just blush on my cheeks. It lasts for a long time, I’ve been out for 6-8 hours and I still looked good when I returned home. The description says it is an 8-in-1 BB Cream, it brightens, smoothes and hydrates, it gives skin a dewy finish, it adjusts to skin tone and blurs imperfections – I agree with all of this. It has SPF 30. I use a small amount and blend it in with a foundation brush or a make-up sponge. List of ingredients: TITANIUM DIOXIDE, WATER, ETHYLHEXYL PALMITATE...

I got the shade Light. On my skin, it does exactly what it says: it instantly erases dark circles and fine lines. I’ve been using it for two years now and I am very satisfied. I don’t use foundation or any type of primer underneath. I am not a fan of using foundation on a daily basis, so I use this instead on my under-eye area, smile lines and chin, especially when I want to look natural. I apply it directly with the applicator and then I blend it with my fingers or a sponge or even a brush. I love the fact that it doesn’t have a smell and that it feels like nothing on the skin. I’m sensitive to perfumes and I also dislike anything cakey. It changes my whole appearance and I can’t imagine going out without it when I am tired. Before I discovered it, I went through a lot of concealers, both drugstore and high-end, and I was never fully satisfied. Below is a list of ingredients from the Maybelline website, which you can check yourself: Aqua/Water/Eau, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimet...
