As I went through my summer blog posts this year, I realized that I haven't shared with you my beauty essentials to achieve a wonderful summer glow. I am excited to write a beauty post again as I bought some new goodies recently and I am GLAD that they are suitable for my skin! I even added one of them already into my skincare routine..
I have been waiting for a year before finally buy this beauty. I mean, I only have my one and only foundation, that is Double Wear edition from Estée Lauder and I LOVE it! But since I've seen MUAs on Instagram using this tinted moisturizer for their models especially in the summer because of its light coverage and dewy finish, I thought I'd love to try it out, too! I am so glad I bought it eventually because it feels indeed light and clean on my skin, and thank God the golden radiance matches my skin shade as well. Haha! I purchased it online because they were all completely sold out already in late spring. And I was afraid it'd be a bit darker than mine since I couldn't test it out anywhere here at stores. If I apply this, I only put my blush on after and I get compliments on how dewy and radiant my skin is. It's even more than enough to use a very small pea-sized amount and apply with my hands. It is dewy and bright looking, but not glittery or even oily. I just love how nice and healthy my skin looks with this, without having to grab any extra highlighters!
If you've been reading this blog for a while, you know I've always wanted to have a great mask. I've tried a bunch of masks out there and nothing seemed to work on my skin, until now! It's amazing that I came across this one and checked the ingredients immediately.. and they are awesome! It contains Kaolin, Aloe Vera, Lactic Acid, Vit. A & C, which help purifies pores and detoxes skin. It's animal cruelty free, vegan-friendly, fragrance-free and safe for all skin types, which is also amazing! I felt instantly in love with the gorgeous pink packaging and the smell.. heaven! If you are willing to spend a little bit more money for a mask, you should try it out for yourself because it's worth it after all. It makes my skin so soft and smooth and I am already obsessed! This becomes a weekly thing for sure and already added into my skincare routine!
After I removed it off with warm wet towel, I can say I was surprised at the effects of the mask. It left my skin feeling hydrated, firm, and glowing. It soothes my skin instantly without having a dry skin! I was surprised because personally, I've never seen instant results from a mask before. I am obsessed with it!
Since I had to order my tinted moisturizer online, it took a little longer for it to finally arrive from UK. Crazy me, I bought this liquid highlighter one day before I received it. Nothing is wrong with that! I mean, I couldn't even know when the package is there anyway. The real reason why I have been wanting to try this product because.. it's liquid! Haha! It sounds awkward but it's quite interesting! I kinda bought into the Becca hype, so when I saw this at a drugstore here I knew I'd buy this one! I thought it'd be amazing to mix with my foundation on any other day when I still want a natural glow. I LOVE it because it gives me a fresh look and I don't even have another highlighter to put on! It's a great liquid highlighter if you want to try one because it's also available in travel size and.. it's best for all-over luminosity!
I know these products are kind of pricey but that's because they are worth recommending! I am really thankful to be able to review these for you guys as well because if you know me, I wouldn't even try to write a post about them if they don't work on me first! If you have tried some of them and excited about them, please tell me in the comment below! I wish you all a wonderful day!
P.S.: I need to share this picture below because this is the real life of blogger I guess! Haha! Just kidding. It is the set of my photoshoot in general and of course: in the kitchen! As some of you already knew, I do many photoshoots in the kitchen because of its amazing sunlight. It's just so fun and I am always amazed how beautiful the results are. But I guess it's one of those BTS (Behind The Scene) I'd love to include in this post because my man was in the background being creative with this egg whisk while I play with my camera! Haha! It's those little moments where I still can share what I do with my beloved one that make me enjoy life even more, who is himself. And.. this picture is still gorgeous to post though. I love it!
Until then.
