I've been around the world - in fact, I've been to five of the seven continents. I like to flip through all the passports I've had in the past to look at all the different custom stamps. Sadly, opposite to my travel history, my makeup collection is pretty confined to several countries. That said, there are a couple foreign ones in my collection that have really impressed me and pushing me to look outside the box.

Having a friend that was as makeup crazed as I am and was making best of her time to trek around Europe when she was doing a semester in Paris (hi, Litta!), I had a little mashup of products as my birthday present. All I can say is that she knows me too well, probably even better than myself, as all the products she picked for me impressed me to no end. 

Starting with the Agnes b. Le Brillant b. Glossy! lipstick in Cherry Glossy. A beautiful coral lipstick that is stunning in packaging and product. No seriously, look at how sleek and chic the tube is. This quickly became one of my go to colours as the colour payoff was amazing as it glided on upon application. As it is a glossy finish, the wear time is around 3ish hours, however, it does fade evenly and leaves behind a stain. 

The other product she picked out for me that I've been immensely loving is the from the Dutch brand, Hema Satin Blush Powder, I have mine in shade 08 - a beautiful rose flush. Insanely pigmented and soft to the touch, I've been opting for this over the that of Tarte and Rimmel Santa Rose.
