Products I can't live wothout





 Have you ever been heartbroken, because a makeup company discontinued your favorite holy grail product? I sure have been...

 I'm not gonna lie, I am kind of a hoarder...  I try to buy the things I love using, before I run out. Usually I'll just wait for a good sale and buy two of the same shampoo, or deodorant, because I know I'll eventually need it. But these are some of the makeup products that I've enjoyed so much, I even bought backups of, even if I'm nowhere near running out of them.


Catrice Camouflage Cream



 This is probably my favorite concealer - concealing wise. It is very pigmented and thick, but melts with the touch of the warm fingers easily, unlike some other concealer type products in the same price range. This was one of the first concealers I've tried, and it is still pretty much the best. It is very affordable, only around 3$, it lasts me a long time. For someone who uses concealer daily, but only for problem areas like red spots and under-eyes, it would probably last a whole year. But if you'd try to use it on half of the face, aka The Beauty Guru way, the result would be disappointing and the product would not only perform poorly but also run out fast.


 
 
 It comes in three shades, this being the lightest and could be found in European drugstores and online.
 
   The only con of this product is that it's thiccc and oily, for someone like me, with a dry/comination skin it works well, but it won't stay on long on nose, chin and forehead, especially in the summer, therefore I wouldn't recommend to use it all over the face.
 



H&M Setting Powder


 Another item I stumbled upon on accident. It was a big sale on H&M  beauty section in my local store and I grabbed the lightest setting powder I can. Original price was 10$ and in my opinion it's not worth that much. But I've tried it, liked it and purchased one more while the sale was still on.


  I really like the sleek packaging of H&M makeup


 This is by far the lightest shade of powder I've ever owned, which comes in handy when my liquid foundation is too dark.


 It is a bit sheer in my opinion. More that adding coverage it is just mattifying. If you want to get this, I have bad news, I'm not sure that it is still on sale. But I might be wrong, I haven't visited H&M in a good while.




Catrice Primer Stick

  For me, with primers, sometimes it's hard to say if they even work. One other Catrice primer that I've tried seems to have no effect, but I've heard good things about primer sticks, so when Catrice Travelight Story Limited Edition collection came out, I grabbed it. And I loved it so much, I had to re-purchace it before it went out of stock.


  It was fairly inexpensive somewhere around 4$, but it sure makes a difference. It feels very lightweight and moisturizing, dries down fast and gives matte blurred effect. It minimizes and hides my pores really well and makes the liquid foundation go on way smoother.



 I'm pretty sure it is not for sale anymore, unless you can find it online somewhere in the depths of ebay. Also some drugstores have old limited edition collections on sale all the time, you'd be surprised  how long some of the products linger in the sale bin. I've found some really great and inexpensive stuff there. If this exact primer stick is unavailable anywhere, don't worry. It's not a unique concept, I'm sure other primer sticks are just as good.
