My Favourite Drugstore Brand

I’ve been buying makeup for years now. My favourite drugstore brand has always been Rimmel, since I like most of their products and always find myself coming to their section. However, recently a new brand appeared here in my town. Catrice Cosmetics. I basically fell in love with it. Out of all their products I bought so far, 100% of them is amazing quality and long lasting, which is a big plus, if you spend half of your day stuck in school.

I’d also like to point out I’m from Slovakia (middle Europe) and I’m pretty sure we are the last place that gets all the merchandise when it comes to clothes and cosmetics. Let’s get to the products!

Ultra-fine ink eyeliner

If you are a beginner with eyeliners, I would recommend you either the pen ones or ones with brush applicators, like this one. It dries quickly, so you don’t have to wait ages, which is perfect for running late or a lazy day. This one is in colour ‘Black on Track’.

KOHL KAJAL eye pencil

There are days where I want to give my eyes a definition, but feel like a black pencil is too much. Brown one is a great resolution. It makes your eyes pop, but still keeps it very saddle. Mine is in number 140 ‘Chocwaves’.

Blush tint

I don’t remember myself searching for this product particularly. However it caught my eye. I like trying new things and if you have never tried blush in liquid formula, you have to give it a go! It was scary to me at first, but I literally haven’t stopped using it since I first got it. It’s less pigmented than a regular powder blush, so it gives you more control and very natural finish. You can also use it on lips if you want to give them a natural look. This one is in 010 Rose Flush.

All matt plus foundation

 

If you are looking for a foundation that gives you more coverage, but still looks natural, this is the one you’re looking for. My skin type is confusing, since it’s very dry especially when it comes to winter, but oily around the T zone. Powder is a lifesaver, we all know that, but reapplying it every amount of time can be challenging. Therefore I find matt foundations the most comfortable to wear. This one is in shade 010 Light Beige.

Camouflage cream concealer

 

No makeup is completed without a concealer… unless you are very lucky with your skin. This was my first ever product I bought from Catrice Cosmetics. My friend recommended this one to me and said she’s been using it for months and it’s still not gone. I gave it a try and let me tell you she was telling the truth. A little goes a long way. It’s long lasting with heavy coverage, but doesn’t look cakey at all. Mine is in shade 020 Light Beige.

Liquid metal eye shadow

 

No, this is not a liquid eye shadow, but it is a metal shade. The rose gold colour caught my eye and I had to have it, since I’m in love with anything that’s rose gold… I expected this to be pigmented, when actually it’s not. It’s really glittery, which made me sad, because I wanted to wear in on everyday bases. I must admit it’d be a risk. I wouldn’t recommend this for every day, but it looks really good once you apply it, so anytime I go out at night, this is my go to glitter shade!  This one is 020 Gold n’ Roses.

Absolute Eye Colour

 

Another eye shadow, this one is more autumnal colour. It’s VERY pigmented, you only need a little. It’s bright orange, so it looks brave, but when you mix it with few brown shades, you are good to go! It’s in shade 580 Carrots Of The Caribbean.

Shimmering Bronzing Powder

When you're looking for a bronzer, it’s important to check if it doesn’t look orange on you. Makeup is an illusion, not a mask. Therefore you should look for natural finish, especially when it comes to skin products. This is a mixture of bright and darker colours, so it’s not so harsh and easy to apply, again, great for beginners! This one is medium skin.

So far this is everything I've bought from this brand. If want any of these products, but don't have a local shop anywhere near you, here's the website: www.catrice.eu
