Hidden gems: Products I use every day but rarely show you
Some products are trusty staples for me, you see them in the product lists for my makeup looks all the time but I have never really talked about them. I thought I should gather them all in one post and let you take a closer look.
Some of them are quite battered but that’s what happens with loved cosmetics (I’m looking at you, dog massacred pencil)!
By Terry Terrybly Densiliss Concealer – 1 Fresh Fair
Thin liquid concealer with medium coverage. Has a WONDERFUL texture that looks just like skin, doesn’t crease under my eyes with a dab of powder on top. Steep price but totally worth it. 1 Fresh Fair is a peachy pink which neutralizes undereyes gorgeously without making them appear whitened. No reverse panda eyes for me thanks. Correcting the purple/blue/green tones without brightening looks really soft and “no-makeup-y”!
Too Faced Absolutely Flawless Concealer – Vanilla
A super thick full coverage concealer, perfect for spot concealing. This one I use allll the time but even forget to mention in my product lists. Have used it for eh.. seven years?
Idun Minerals Inliner – Sand
A pale beige eye pencil for the inner rim of the eye. I have very red waterlines so I basically use it daily as a waterline concealer.

Illamasqua Masquara – Raven
The mascara that gives me everything I wish for, it works for every look. Length, volume, fluffiness, drama! It’s water resistant so it doesn’t smudge easily but it isn’t waterproof which means it’s easy to remove. Love the wand too.
Illamsqua Brow & Lash Gel
A clear (I promise, it was clear a while ago..) brow gel that combs the hairs in place. Not crunchy, not overly shiny, stays all day. The wand is slim so it doesn’t get gunk all over your face when you comb your brows with it.
INGLOT Eyeshadow – 376
A creamy and super pigmented matte eyeshadow bordering grey/black/brown/purple. Perfect for dark eyebrows or as a soft eyeliner.

Rouge Bunny Rouge Impalpable Finishing Powder – Diaphanous
The best powder ever created? Super finely milled and invisible on the skin. It’s like a classic HD powder (think MUFE HD, By Terry Hyaluronic etc.) but it doesn’t feel tight and weird on my skin like those do on me. Diaphanous feels smoothing, plumping and perfecting! Doesn’t get flat matte either so not the best if you need heavy duty oil control, but it sets makeup beautifully.

Manasi Makeup Lyster Cream Bronzer
A reddish brown cream bronzer with a strong, smooth shimmer. Any time my skin looks nice and glowy (or I look awake at all) this is why. Looks really scary in the tub but it goes on looking just like sunkissed plump skin! No fake sparkliness or orange splotches, it looks so natural that it works wonders even on bare skin. I have a tub in my MUA kit aswell (less battered than this one) and I would never do a tanned look without it, it works on everyone.
