I was tagged at the beginning of September to do the Starting over TAG by the lovely Brianna, the girl behind the amazing Cruelty Free Me Blog. As the name of this blog suggests, Brianna is a girl passionate about beauty made with natural, organic ingredients, eco friendly and cruelty free. Cruelty Free Me is one of the blogs on this platform I enjoy reading, because when I need a good dose of “healthy” everything, she can fix me at any time.
For as much as I love the idea of this tag I completely forgot about it! It all starts with the hypothesis that all your makeup and skincare suddenly disappears – God forbid! Knock on wood! Jinx! etc. …
After the recovery from your initial heart attack, panic attack and being a human again and not a vengeance hairy beast, what would be the 16 products you would purchase?
Why 16?! I have no idea!…
So here are mine:
1) FACE MISTS… LOAD OF face mists, starting with my beloved Omorovicza Queen of Hungary Face Mist
2) my FOREO LUNA MINI ( review coming soon ) or in the normal size. This amazing device helps you deep cleanse your skin witout irritating it. I got amazing results from it in just a matter of days, things that I can’t say about the Clarisonic which was total fail and made my skin worse.
3) moisturizer for day and night. Depending on the season the “calamity” happens, let’s say it’s autumn/winter time I will go for Oskia Nutri-active Day Cream and for nighttime I will buy the Omorovicza Rejuvenating Night Cream.
4) what I discovered to work extremely well with the Foreo Luna is the Oskia Renaissance Cleansing Gel, the best cleanser I have ever used
5) foundation I would buy first: Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation, but that’s no surprise since you had enough of me raving about it. Definitely my holy grail foundation!
6) I like to apply this foundation with my beauty blender so I will have one of those too.
7) for eyeshadows I will go and get myself Trench, Almond and Pale Barley Sheer Eye Shadows from Burberry for a simple, everyday eye look.
8) I find that these creamy, buttery soft eye shadows are applied best with the Hakuhodo blending brushes from the J Series ( review here ) so I will definitely get me some of those.
9) my mascara will be Chanel’s Le Volume the best mascara I have ever had.
10) and the Shu Uemura S Lash Curler. I have this thing I can’t go out without curling my lashes. I’m not the biggest wearer of eyeshadow that’s why I think that curling your eye lashes adds a bit of something else to the eyes. Besides that, curling your lashes makes your eyes look more opened and awake.
11) the Guerlain Terracotta 4 Seasons Bronzer to bring some life to my usually pale skin and to go along with it my beloved.
12) Tom Ford Bronzer Brush already reviewed here.
13) my next logical purchase would be blush. And here is where I will have a real problem! I love all my blushes and I use them quite a lot! Maybe the first ones I will be will be those in the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush Palette. I think it will be a good deal! I would have multiple options! But my second purchase will definitely be my Burberry #06 Tangerine, then my Tom Ford #02 Frantic Pink.
14) on my lips I will definitely wear Dior’s Lip Maximizer as I love how plumped and delicious makes my lips look, then I will purchase a bold colour because I can’t live without wearing a bold lip.
15) I can’t go out or to work without having clean, well cured nails so I will also buy a cuticle oil and a nail polish which will probably be in a nude colour, like Dior’s #108 Muguet.
16) and raw honey, coconut oil and tea tree oil will be my last purchases. I use them for almost anything… Face masks, hair masks ( maybe I should have thrown in some hair products too, like shampoo and conditioner…), body scrubs, to clean and disinfect my brushes… Love them all!
So! Here you have my picks! What would be yours?
I will also tag some of my lovely girls/friends here on WordPress, but everyone is welcomed to join the fun and do this Tag! So Divya, Jackie, Serene, Andreea, V, and the lovely Talker Blogger.
Thank you for your constant support, beautiful !
See you in November!

I love the idea of this. As I was reading it, I was thinking I could never live without mascara, but because of all the free ones they give away for your birthday or points programs or with the purchase of palettes, I haven’t actually purchased a mascara in over a year. No idea which one I would buy anymore!

Haha! I know what you mean! I have quite a few deluxe samples, gift-with-purchase etc. unopened … Yet! My friends love me… 😀 A lot! :))
But I always go back to Le Volume! It the only mascara I purchased more than once! That much I love it! 😉 xx

With those two blushes is a matter of taste as with everything makeup. Many say Frantic Pink is not worth the price tag because it isn’t pigmented enough. For me is one of the easiest blushes to wear for day and night. And if you’re after thar ever-so-slightly breath of pink, Frantic Pinkis the one for you. I think it will show on your skin very pale, buildable but not too much.
Tangerine, on the other hand, is really pigmented. So you need to be careful when you apply it ( tap any excess on the brush, swirl it on the back of your hand or whatever ). I really recommend to apply this one in thin layers until you reach the intensity you wish.
One last tip. The brush is everything! So get yourself a good one! 😉
I hope this was somewhat helpful! 🙂

I’m actually interested in trying out Foreo Luna! My Clarisonic’s battery is failing me and that’s quite annoying to be honest. My only concern on Foreo Luna (aside from the battery) is keeping the product clean. Is it easy to clean the nooks and crannies?
LikeLiked by 1 person
No need to worry about charging often the Foreo. Once fully charged you can use it up to 350 times. Keep in mind that you have to use it for one minute in the morning and in the evening! It stops automatically when that minute passes! So no energy is wasted!
As for keeping it clean! It’s also the easiest thing! It is waterproof so you can cleanse it under the running water with any soap you like! Just like you clean your makeup brushes!
It is not recommended to be used with oil based cleansers or face scrubs anyway, so it will be easier to keep it clean!
I hated the Clarisonic! It ruined my skin condition accentuating the issues, even if I used the head meant for sensitive skin!
I hope this was somewhat helpful lovely! 🙂 😉 xx

Some of my top picks would be the Beauty Blender, vegan brush set from Morphe Brushes, Rockateur blush and Hoola bronzer from Benefit, Loreal Voluminous mascara, Loreal lipstick in Fairest Nude, and Urban Decay’s original Naked palette. I’m really curious to try the Foreo Luna. My skin is more sensitive now and I can’t use a sonic brush anymore. Great list of products! 🙂

I also have highly sensitive skin and even though Luna is a sonic device it has no brush with bristles like the Clarisonic! Those tiny bristles are made of the softest and smoothest silicone. One more thing I loved is that the bristles are steady and it is you who controles the motion of the device! I’m very pleased with it and I find it more gentle than any other brushes for sensitive skins I have ever used!
Great picks! Rockateur is simply amazing! 😉 xx
