I've been getting a little obsessed with oil-free stuff recently. From moisturizer to foundation, blusher to concealer, everything NEEDS to be oil-free. So much so that I have thrown out a whole dozen of the Clean & Clear oil blotting papers (the blue plastic thingies), still sealed in their package, because I found out a few days ago that they actually contain mineral oil (it's the second ingredient on their ingredient list)! Why on earth would they put oil in oil blotting papers to start with anyhow?Anyways, since my oil-free obsession has started I have made some drastic changes to my skincare/makeup routine. I have stopped using products I previously loved but contain oil (e.g. Estee Lauder's Futurist, Perfumeria Gal blusher, etc.). I have always kept a list of stuff I currently keep inside my Bobbi Brown makeup case and here it's an update of it:
Primer
Guerlain Divinora Pure Radiance
- But for AU$149 a pop, I'm a bit tempted to try Laura Mercier's Oil-Free Foundation Primer... maybe I'll switch back and forth!
Foundation
Shiseido Pureness Oil-Free Compact Foundation (10 Light Ivory)
Concealer for Blemishes
Acnil (Light) - my new favorite. Dirt cheap but I have never had a concealer in my entire life that covers so well YET isn't cakey - well I'll be stocking up on this baby for sure!
Powder
Shiseido Pureness Oil-Free Compact Foundation (10 Light Ivory)
- yes, it doubles as a powder! I use a sponge for foundation and a brush for powder ;)
Brow
Chanel Sculpting Brow Pencil (Blonde Cendre)
Canmake Brow Makeup Sealant
Eyeliners
Bobbi Brown Long-wear Gel Eyeliner - simply the best! Lasts 12+ hours :D
Guerlain Loose Kohl (black)
Eyeshadows
Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion OR Guerlain Eyeshadow Primer
Versace Stunning Luminous Eye Shadow (V2014-O)
Pieds Nus (Shiseido) Cream Eyeshadow (WT901) - the PN line is now replaced by Maquillage! why??? *sob sob*
Pieds Nus (Shiseido) Eye Color Select (SV809, GY914)
Three Custom Color Specialists Wet/Dry Eyeshadow (Cool Black)
Shiseido The Makeup Eyeshadow Duo in (Granite Stone)
Mascaras
Shiseido The Makeup Mascara Base - on my third tube already!
Anna Sui Super Long Lash Mascara - currently on my second tube :)
Blushers
Stila Powder Blush (Tutu)
Lips
- I don't usually wear lipsticks/glosses but when I do, these are what I wear:
Giorgio Armani Lipstick Mania (#17)
Shiseido The Makeup Perfecting Lipstick (P12 Warm Cocoa)
MAC Lipstick (Underground) - discontinud!!! ='(
Guerlain Terracotta Gloss & Shine Moisturizing Balm (50 Caramel Sun)
Lipliners
- These are actually more like an enhancer for your lips than a "liner"
Guerlain Divinora Lip Pencil (Cupidon No.00) - used on the cupid's bow of your upper lip
Body & Soul Lipliner (Riddle)

what a sweet makeup case!
I like it! You have excellent taste, I love the Bobbi Brown stuff. I just have all my make-up stuffed inside pull-out drawers underneath my desk :( I reccommend the Clinique blotting papers, their quite good and they don't dry out your skin like some papers can but they do get rid of grease. Though I hate that their all so thin, their so fiddly and annoying!
hmm - ok i just commented but it didnt show up(I don't think)
anyways... i was saying I think I might try Shiseido makeup... i've never heard much about their makeup range..but it seems to be popular in your makeup case :o)
Oooh, you're so neat and organized! Love the makeup cases!
karina: yea i use a lot of stuff from shiseido The Makeup line. i've tried literally EVERYTHING from that line - i think i know their products better than most of the shiseido girls at the counter! anyways some of their stuff suck but some are really amazing but totally overlooked.
i love your make up case! everything looks so neat and organized! oops. i just read the above comments. looks like one of them is the same. :-)
i use shisheido skin care but have never tried their cosmetics.
