40 Beauty Questions Tag

There hasn't been a lot of posts out this week. Reason: I had quite a rough week and it hasn't been pleasant. Today I am back and I have a tag for you all.
I found the video '40 Beauty Questions Tag' from Sinead Cady aka The Make Up Chair on YouTube (you can watch her video here) and I liked it a lot. And since I don't have a YouTube channel (yet) I thought I would turn this into a blogpost.

So let's jump right into it

Top 3 Foundations

I am really picky when it comes to foundation. My standards are fairly high and if I don't like the foundation from the start, 95% of the times I will never like it.
I was looking in my stash when putting some stuff away and I was thinking it would be nice to give you my top three of foundations.

My standards are high as said. I want a medium/full coverage, I want a match that is BANG ON (I have a super light skin so I use some self tan to match me to the lightest foundation shades), I want a foundation that lasts me the whole day and lastly I prefer not to look like I have run marathon at the end of the day = meaning I don't want to get shiny.

So without further ado, I'm gonna get started.

Kiko Make Up

I had lack of inspiration these days. I wanted to write but couldn't decide on what.
Realising I still haven't finished my Berlin hauls, the pick was quickly made.

So being in Berlin I wanted to go to a Kiko store. And they are quit present there. I have seen a lot a Kiko stores.
Even tough there are a lot of stores, I don't think I've ever seen a Belgian blogger writing about Kiko. Or any others to be honest.

Because of that I had no idea on what to pick or what I would like. What would I be using the most? And I eventually decided to actually only pick from the discount container.
Three products where my total. So let's jump right into it.

Prime & Fine Waterproof

Waterproof. If that word is on a packaging I most likely have to have it. Rainy Europe most of the times causes people to look like panda's and that is the one thing I try to avoid.

With a new change of assortment Catrice came up with a powder that supposed to be waterproof.
Powders from Catrice are really good. Super silky and does keep your foundations matt and in place. Having quit a search for the powder I eventually good a non-touched one and I put it directly to the test.

Waterproof? Keep reading.

Super?Nailpolish

Nailpolish is something that lately I really gotten into.
Doing nail art, accent nail .. I love it. I used to never like it when there where limited editions focussed on nails and nail art.

The last limited edition here in Belgium where I really was impressed, even when it was about nails, was the Superheroes collection by Essence.

And one nailpolish caught my eye.
I never use any other brand then Maybellines nailpolish so this was a huge step for me.
Do you want to know if this step was worth it, then keep reading.

Primers

Every girl has to start of with a clean/primed face before applying foundation. It's just to make sure that everything is kept in place through the day and to hold it to it's maximum.

I remember using my very first primer. Well, I never really liked it. It just didn't work for me. I first thought it was just me that had a problem with it but a friend of mine has it too and she as well doesn't like it that much.

With some new changes in Belgian drugstores, some new primers came along. Of course I had to try them. To find other and better then my old primer. So I went shopping and I got myself all the new primers that where brought out.

Do you want to know if these primers do their job? Then you have to keep reading.
