One of my favorite natural beauty brands is having a crazy sale today, so I wanted to do a quick post sharing my favorite products from them. I have mentioned these products several times here before, so I’ll keep this list short. I’ll add links to the posts though, so you can check them out!

The -40% sale is valid in Finland.

My favorite products from Madara

*Madara City CC-Cream
This CC-cream is bomb. If you read my Makeup Monday posts, you’ll notice that I used that product on every single person. That just goes to show how versatile the product is. It evens out the skin tone and gives a natural glow on itself, or it can be mixed with foundations to sheer them out or make them less matte. It’s also my go-to product as a sunscreen in Fall, Winter and Spring, besides the one below.

*Madara Face SPF 30
This is my favorite sunscreen for my face. I love how natural and glowy it looks – and since it’s a physical sunscreen, it lasts very well on my skin. It’s not white as most physical sunscreens, which makes it awesome. It has some color to it, which blends out perfectly on my skin. I also like to mix this with a matte foundation to make it more glowy and creamy.

I also like Madara’s other *sun products. If you’re going on a beach vacation, now is a good time to stock up on some SPF!

*Madara’s Face Masks

Madara is one of my favorite brands also when it comes to face masks. My top three masks from them are Detox, Peel & Smart masks. The masks are quick to use (only 5 mins is enough!) and they are effective. There’s also a moisturizing SOS-mask, if you’re not into purifying masks (AKA your skin is dry).

*Madara SOS Hydra Repair Serum
I love this serum. It’s very ligthweight and hydrating and it comes in a beautiful packaging. Perfect for those moments when your skin screams SOS.

*Madara Nokkonen Daily Defence Hydrating Mist
This is one of my favorite hydrating mists. When your skin is dry, it needs water and lightweight products. This mist is aloe vera based and contains soothing nettle leaf extract. The best cure to dryness is to stack up products. So: first hydrating mist (like this one), then serum (for example the SOS serum) and finally the cream. I also mix oil with my cream in the evenings to get extra moisture to my skin.

Are you buying something from the Madara -40% sale?

Can you believe this is already my sixth Makeup Monday post? Hopefully you’ve enjoyed this project as much as I have. I will keep posting makeup transformations every now and then here, but for now, this is the last one. In today’s post models gorgeous Jasmin.

Makeup Monday: Jasmin

I was super excited to both meet Jasmin in person and getting her featured on my blog. She is one of the few Finnish people I know, that blogs in English. She is also a social media genius in my books, and her Twitter is very entertaining. Besides blogging Jasmin studies in university, goes to work and is a mom to a toddler. So, another super woman, wouldn’t you say?

For Jasmin’s makeup I knew I wanted to use cool brown shades on the eyes. I visioned a soft smokey eye, which turned out great (if I say so myself). I think Jasmin has an amazing eye shape, which really benefits from a smokey look. I used mainly *NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in the shade Iced Mocha, which is like made for her. And not only, because the name refers to coffee.

I paired the eyes with a glossy nude lip, because that’s just a perfect combo.

Make sure to give Jasmin a follow on her Twitter and check out her blog: overdosed on caffeine.
