The 100 AED Makeup Challenge Tag

Hello Lovelies, today's post is all about budgeting!!! I was inspired by the 20$ Makeup Challenge Tag as seen on Youtube... Rules are simple you have to create a full face makeup look and all your products must equal 100 AED (approximately 20 EUR). So here are the beauty products I bought:

Flormar Supershine Lipstick in #503 (25.00 AED)

This is not the first time I'm buying Flormar lipstick, I love their formula, really moisturizing, it doesn't last long, need to reapply it during the day, but they have really nice colors, and I'm loving this pretty pink, plus it is very affordable.

Essence Kajal Pencil in Black #01 (9.00 AED)

This eye pencil is really high pigmented and long lasting, it makes me want to try their new colorful spring range.

Essence Get Big! Lashes Volume Boost Mascara (17.00 AED)

I'm not super excited about this mascara, I like long dramatic eyelashes (the YSL Volume Effete Faux Cils gives) and this one is too "natural" looking.

Essence Circus Circus Long Lasting Eyeshadow in Raise The Curtain For... #02 (17.00 AED -50%)

This Eyeshadow is gorgeous!!! The color is just so rich, I love the creamy and smooth formula. It had no creasing at all (and that was with no eye primer) and stays all day long. I love it, and how hot is the packaging?!!

Essence Silky Touch Blush in Babydoll #20 (20.00 AED)

My favorite product from this haul. I'm so impressed by the quality of this blush!!! The color pigmentation is amazing, it blends well and it stays all day long. The packaging is cute. There is 4 colors available, I'm so going to buy the 3 others!!!

Essence Soft & Natural Make-up Long-Lasting in Light Caramel #04 (24.00 AED)

Not the best foundation ever, but for the price it's quite good. It didn't cover my redness but gives a fresh looking complexion.

I had so much fun doing this challenge and I hope you enjoyed reading this, please let me know if you already used one of these products and how did you like them?

And now I'm tagging you ladies :)
