Hi lovelies :) I`m always asked about what my beauty routine and my favorite products are, so I thought I`d make a few posts for you. I have a lot of favorite products, so I`ll start with the face products. My face is definitely the thing I spend the most time on in my makeup routine. Without further ado, my fave products:
Pro Longwear Foundation from Mac. This holds for hours and hours, even days if you`re a slob and don`t remove your makeup. It covers perfectly, and I´m addicted. I have color number NW25.
Wonder Powder from MakeupStore. I love this! I have the darkest color; Gobi. I use it as a bronzing powder, and just sweep it around my face after the foundation. I use the mineral power brush from Everyday Minerals, which goes perfectly with the powder.
When I`m going out I wear this foundation primer from Smashbox. It leaves my skin perfect and silky.
My favorite glow/shimmer product; From DuWop in the color Champagne. I got mine years ago, and it`s still not even half empty. I usually just apply this on my nose, but it also works perfectly on the eyebrow bone and on my cheek bones.
My favorite blush. This one is from GloMinerals in the color Begonia, but I also love the color Papaya. I love the fresh color they give, and that they don`t contain any shimmer. I use the blush brush from Everyday Minerals to apply it.
My favorite brush, from Dior. I got this 6 years ago, and it`s still like new. Perfect for bronzing powders!
My favorite concealers. The one from YSL is divine, and the one from GloMinerals is really good too. It`s supposed to be used under the eyes, but on me it just creates lines and looks cake-y. Instead I use it wherever I have impurities in my skin.
Probably my favorite product of all times, which I`ll never stop wearing! The sculpting set from Makeup Forever. Perfect to shape your face. I bought mine in NY, and I can`t find any sites that ship this to Norway, which sucks. But not to worry, you can get the same result with other products too. What you absolutely need is an angled brush. I love mine from MakeUp Forever because there`s an angled brush on one side, and a blending brush on the other side. So you need those two brushes, and a dark powder without shimmer. I love Nars – Casino, but unfortunately it broke right after I bought it when I was out.. I found a pretty good replacement though, a powder from Bobbi Brown in the color Deep. It´s on its way to my mailbox as we speak, can`t wait to get it!! This is how the result looks after you`ve contoured your face with this set:
Looks like I have cheek bones, haha! Love it. So anyway, that`s my fave face products :) What are yours? I`m always on the lookouts for new beauty products!
Btw; Everyone who lives in Bergen should check out Digg Hair Studio at Sundt later, they`re open until 12!! They offer 25% off on every single product in the salon :)

Hej Cath :-)
Bruger du noget under din foundation?
eller er det første step bare at putte foundation på? :)
Cath In The City says
Jeg bruker alltid fuktighetskrem under! Jeg bruker en fra Comfort Zone, Wah Wah :)
Cath In The City says
Takk søte <3
Sigrid says
Flere sånne innlegg, elsket det!
Jeanette says
Fint innlegg, aldri feil med tips og triks:-)
Mine favoritter til ansiktet er: beauty flash balm, tinted moisturizere fra mac & illuminating fra laura mercier (en dæsj av begge to, iallfall når jeg ønsker ekstra glød), concealer fra makeupstore (anbefales!), highlighter touche eclat fra ysl, solpudder fra guerlain (4 matte farger), rouge fra lancome i en perfekt rødmende rosafarge :-) liker også id mineral foundation til en variasjon, med tilhørende kabuki kost. De fleste kostene mine er fra id & the body shop. Anbefaler alle disse! Dårlig farge/nr forklaring. Men det er jo individuelt uansett :-) elsker forresten det naturlige resultatet av fargede dagkremer!

What Mascara do you use???
Anette says
MÅ bare anbefale http://www.allcosmeticswholesale.com. Mye billig og ekte sminke, og man slipper å betale toll. Bestilt flere ganger, og alltid like fornøyd. Siden har også merkene Make Up Forever, Chanel, DuWop, Mac og mange fler :) Ha en fin dag videre!
Cath In The City says
Right now I don`t use mascara because I have lash extensions, but MaxFactor 2000 calorie mascara with the curved brush is my fave :)
Cath In The City says
Så bra :D
Lydia says
Takk for masse bra tips (: Har selv den primeren, og den er jo bare helt magisk å ta på! Haha..

Cath In The City says
Maybe baby :)
Jeanette Hardis says
Ja jeg kunne virkelig også godt tænke mig at se hvordan du dog “modellere” dit ansigt på den måde mht. skygger etc :) For det er VIRKELIG flot! Ligesom dig :)
Rigtig dejlig blog :)
Maija says
Hello, Cathrine! :)
I was wondering, what do you use to highlight your cheekbones?
Or maybe you can recommend me some products which give that perfect glow? :)
Your blog is really inspiring!
anonym says
suuupert innlegg:)lurte bare på en ting, kjenner ei som hadde brukt Mac foundation og var veldig misforøyd, hun byttet over til Max facotr fordi hun hadde fått uren hud . har du opplevd noe lignende? jeg bruker max factor, men synes ikkke at den er så bra..dekker ingenting, derfor har jeg lyst å invistere i en ny og bedre foundation som dekker defekter.
Cath In The City says
Jeg har ikke fått noen urenheter av Mac foundationen! Vil tro man får mer av Max Factor :S Klem <3
Christina says
Jeg elsker i.d bare minerals over alt! Har prøvd utrolig mange andre foundationer, riktig nok ikke den fra MAC, men alt annet gir meg masse urenheter..
Ingvild says
Kjempebra innlegg!
Jeg vet du har beskrevet hvordan du bruker det konturpudderet før med bilder, men tror du at du kunne laget en video? :) Det hadde vært supert, for jeg får det ikke til!
jenlen says
Gillar dina sådana här inlägg! vill så gärna få tag på den ögonskuggan men vet inte vart bara här i sverige :/
Isabel says
Bruker du noe finishing pudder over foundationen?
Cath In The City says
Jeg bruker kun det pudderet fra makeupstore :)
Cath In The City says
Kan prøve å få det til :) Klem
Silje says
Supre tips! Og enig i mange av dem:)
Jeg bruker også lengst tid på å få huden perfekt når jeg sminker meg, og har komt frem til at å blande litt flytende skimmer i foundationen gjør at makeupen når ett new level! Virkelig stor forskjell! Og det som er bra er at du trenger bare littegrann. Huden får en skikkelig fin glød av det :) også å påføre foundation med børste da såklart ;)
Vil ha flere slike innlegg! Hurraa :)
Toini says
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgggnkNeHzI&feature=related Kanskje dette kan funke for NARS pudderet ditt? :-)
Hezho says
Oh Mac foundationen er min favoritt også! Jeg har nylig funnet en ny yndling fra mac, og det er Primer med farge, den gir en utrolig fin glød til huden og ikke minst glatter den ut:D
Lisa says

Marina says

Cath In The City says
Thanks sweetie!
Helen says
Hærlig å lese et innlegg på en blogg som ikke er reklame! Bruker også Mac, men oftest liker jeg mineralfoundation og da er Mineral Hygenics definitivt favoritt! Bruker de samme concealerene som deg, et tips er å bruke Benefit Powderflage over slik at consealeren holder seg uten å stripe ;) Har veldig lyst å prøve primeren der..får se når jeg får brukt opp en av de mange jeg allerede har :P Kjempe fin blogg!:)
Katrine says
Så mye herlig ansiktsprodukter du bruker! :-)
Marte says
Hei Cathrine :D
Ville bare si at strawberry.net shipper til Norge, og de har også Makeup Forever sculpting kit, skal bestille mitt kit nå :D Lurte også på om du kunne lage en sminkevideo hvor du bruker dette sculpting kittet? Vise hvordan du framhever, skyggelegger, lager kinnben osv? Hadde vært supergøy :)
God helg skjønnas :)
Maria says
Hei. Jeg bestilte mitt make up forever sett fra strawberrynet. Maria

Nice post. I discover something more difficult on different blogs everyday. It will always be stimulating to learn to read content from other writers and use something from their website. I’d would prefer to use some while using content in my small blog whether or not you don’t mind. Natually I’ll provide a link in your web blog. Thanks for sharing.

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.
