//My top ten winter beauty products//
1. Garnier B.B miracle skin perfector c/o L’Oreal
This is a pretty good base foundation. It does not cover up much, however it smells ridiculously good (peaches) and it applies really easily.
2. L’Occitane mum & baby balm c/o L’Occitane
If you have dry skin, this is by far the most efficient and natural remedy. I discovered l’Occitane about two year ago and if I had my doubt then, I am now convinced. I go there for a few of my basic product as it is quite pricey.
3. Maybeline dream satin fluide
This is the foundation I have been using for the last few years. I think I might change sometime soon. So if you have any good ideas or great foundation ( or not so great) that you have tested, do share.
4. L’Oreal Glam bronze
I was skeptical of this little combo but I have been pleasantly surprised over the years. I like the fact that it has a lighter shade that I just use as a concealer and the darker side to add a bit of colour.
5. Maybeline great lash
I swear by this mascara (and use the waterproof version during summer). I have to find one that does a better job, the brush is great, colour perfect and it stays on the lashes, where it is suppose to be and not on the cheeks.
6. Mavala nail polish
I discovered this make when I was in paris, I like that the bottles are so small. I have yet to finish a nail polish (except for the ‘normal’ colours that I use over and over again). They are fairly cheap – that has a lot to do with how small they are – and tehy propose a great diversity and choice in term sof colours available.
7. L’Occitane hand cream
Love this hand cream. Texture wise it is not too greasy or too runny and it smells great and fresh. Oh and it doesn’t make your hands stick to everything you touch afterwards. ALways a bonus I guess
8. L’Occitane lip balm
What more can I say except that it a great lip balm, a bit expensive for what it is but I would say worth it.
9. Essence by Narciso Rodriguez
My boyfriend was tired of my Coco by Chanel perfume, so we opted for this one. Which is very light and fresh!
10. Topshop lip marker
Last but not least, this ha sto be the best invention ever. I simply can’t wait till they bring out other colours, and for other makes to jumps on the ‘lip marker’ wagen. It’s so easy to put on as it is like colouring something in, it doesn’t smudge everywhere and best of all it stays on for ages. I went to bed once and woke up the next day with bright red lips.

So funny you say ‘we’ opted for this one on the perfume, I hardly get my boyfriend interested when there’s a sample in a magazine… :p
(I’m starting to sound like a commercial..)
My foundation suggestion: Nivea! I don’t know much about beauty products but I know I use this one and for me it’s doing well. On the other hand I would buy anyhting with the word Nivea on it, my grandma uses it, my mom, and now I’m hooked
greets!

I fully agree with the hand cream of L´Occitane hand cream! One suggestion for foundation… Yves Rocher confort cream foundation. I don´t like Yves´products but after hearing so many good reviews of this product, i tried it once and it has become one of my essentials!
It is my first comment in your blog, even that i have been following you since some months. love your style!

Great! I will check out your foundation suggestion I will keep my eye out next time I pass by an YR also not a place i generally go but I am always up to discover new things
oh and thank you for your first comment, I appreciate it. Even though I appreciate all my ‘silent readers’ just as much
Hi Toni,
First comment for me too
If you look for a drugstore foundation, you can check Boujois Healthy mix serum. I love how it makes the skin fresh and glowy.
I will add that to my list of foundations to try and check out
Thank you
I use the same foundation, but here in Brazil the wrapping is diffenrent, my tone is Porcelain Ivory 1, and still is too dark for my pale skin, so I need mix with moisturizer. Really bad.
Clinique does really light foundations no?
But I know what you mean I use to mix my foundation in with my moisturiser too
Here most of the brands don’t sell all their tones (usually just 4), probably thinking everybody is naturally tanned here, they’re wrong, but haven’t realized it yet.
How annoying and I can just imagine what brands think when they decide what to ship where :/
I’m using the same foundation as you! I can’t live without anymore!
