Blush fans unite!

I love collecting different blushes and have a wide collection ranging from high end to drugstore. However, this blush formula has got to be my favorite of all time! It's a lovely brick rose with a hint of sparkle. A little bit certainly goes a long way, but the formula is so incredibly creamy that it can easily be blended out for a more natural flush.

I also have to give it major points for the shade availability, as they offer a wide range of blushes that can suit anyone's complexion. This has certainly become a holy grail for me, and I look forward to collecting all of the different shades Inglot has to offer!

Boy Beat Perfection!

I don't know about you, but I can't help but to sigh and dream of the perfect boy beat look whenever I'm on Instagram! The look perfected by one of the masters (Sir John aka Beyonce's makeup artist) focuses on supple and smooth skin, that doesn't look perfect, but instead, aims to be light and perfectly blended.

Welcome in this new holy grail foundation! This foundation offers sheer to medium coverage, I think it does a great job at concealing most imperfections and aims to even out your skin tone without looking too heavy. I wouldn't say it completely blurs pores, so if your skin does tend to be a bit more porous dot a little of your favorite pore filling primer (my favorite is Benefit's PoreFessional) to give you a boost of extra coverage.

Overall I think this wears very lovely and if you want to have an effortless yet pretty look pick this beat boy approved goodie!

GLOW IT UP!

I have a love-hate relationship with highlighter, but I couldn't help but swoon at how cute the design of the palette is. I mostly stay away from highlighter because of my dry skin. Most highlighters cling to my dryness and look rather patchy.

However, when I picked this trio up I was shockingly amazed. This product is the perfect amount of glow that I want, as it gives my skin a glow from within. It doesn't give the typical blinding effect that most highlighter fans might expect but, it is a lovely kiss of light. I also have to say that this is great for those who are begging to experiment with highlighter, as it goes on light and can be built up to something more blinding.

This looks lovely on most skin tones and can see this becoming a cult classic! Charlotte has rumored this to be a limited edition item so pick it up whenever you can and don't miss out on this gorgeous palette!

Bye Bye Puffiness

As a gal with dry/dehydrated skin, I love a good undereye patch to plump and hydrate my undereye area and this is no exception! I love the texture and feel of these eyepatches because you can instantly feel a cooling sensation and makes me feel like I'm at a fancy spa than just my living room. As someone with hereditary dark circles, I don't believe this would help diminish the darkness, but it does help soothe and refresh my under eye area. I really enjoy using these to prep my skin on the days where I am feeling extra dry, and have noticed that my concealer goes on smoothly and helps the longevity of it since my skin is moisturized and prepped correctly.

I also have got to say that out of a lot of the undereye patches, these are by far the best deal out there. You receive 60 Patches which means you get 30 pairs, and for the price, it made the purchase for me a no brainer.

Clean and Clear

I love the double cleansing method that we've recently all jumped on board and have finally found the perfect 1st step. The Sulwhasoo oil is super luxurious and has the most delightful aroma. I know a lot of people struggle with Sulwhasoo's natural ginseng scent but I personally find it to be very holistic and relaxing.

I take about one pump (two if I have waterproof mascara) and just slowly rub this onto dry skin. I personally massage this into my skin for about 60 seconds to really break down any foundation and eye makeup. I then rinse off with warm water and pat dry, and this rinses clean and leaves the skin feeling moisturized but clean, no residue or film left behind! This step has definitely revamped my skincare routine, and if your skin leans on the dry end don't hesitate to take advantage of this oil!

Happy scalp, happy ends!

It might be a bit of an exaggeration, but I have the biggest crush on Oribe hair products! The smell, the feel, the formulas, and to be honest, I've never had much success with luxury hair products until I found Oribe!

Being a curly headed girl (3A curl pattern) I tend to be extra picky with what I use and when I wash my hair, so I was super excited to hear that Oribe was coming out with a line that targets your scalp. During the winter season, my scalp got pretty itchy and was constantly flaking, so it was a no brainer when I found this shampoo and decided to give this line a chance!

Now, a little more background on my hair, I have bleached hair and my curls tend to get quite dry. So, I'll honest and say that my biggest fear with this product was that it would dry out my hair (specifically my ends) but I have been currently using this shampoo at least once a week for the past 2 months and have seen really positive results and get this, IT HAS NOT DRIED OUT MY ENDS!

Now, that being said, I do follow this shampoo with a deeply hydrating conditioner to ensure that I am sealing all of the goodness of this shampoo, and follow up with a leave-in conditioner. Yet again, Oribe has come to my rescue and since adding this shampoo into my routine I have been able to maintain my scalp healthy, and have kissed goodbye to flaking and itching.

So if you are suffering from a case of the blues and your scalp needs some extra TLC, don't look further than this new addition to the Oribe family!

Simply the best..

I have recently been going through a major hair journey and have recently been embracing my natural hair, and the voluminous curls that come with it!

For reference, my curl pattern falls along the lines of what is considered 3A and I've been truly struggling to find a good leave in creme that defines while actually maintaining my curls hydrated (and frizz-free of course) throughout my day! To my surprise, I found this magical hair creme and decided to give it a whirl since it would help with frizz and also help ensure my hair is super soft.

To my surprise, I found that this worked on my hair both dry and wet. If you are using this when your hair is wet I recomend drying your hair with a t-shirt and then once your hair has dried just a bit apply a nice amount of this creme from roots to ends, you can definitely use this all over since this is super lightweight and won't weigh your hair down or make your hair feel crunchy.

Now if you're using this on dry hair, use this mostly on your ends and you'll see your curls be revived before your eyes, I only use on dry hair when my hair is having a frizzy moment or to revive my hair after spending some time in a humid place (like the bus). I also noticed that over time my hair did become softer and help recover and rehab my hair since I do have a bit of bleach damage from the last time I dyed my hair.

Overall, if you're looking for an item to smoothen and strengthen your hair, don't look any further than this miracle worker!!

Treat your self!

As a gal with dry/dehydrated skin, I always feel the need to be spraying my face down with a mist to ensure that my skin is hydrated and to ensure my makeup doesn't settle into fine lines and gives an all over glowy look. However, more often than not I have been really enjoying going makeup free and I have found THE MIST for us with dry skin.

This mist is a blend of oil and essence water to provide an extra source of hydration. It has Sulwhasoo's signature earthy scent and of course, JAUM Balancing Complex™ which is supposed to assist with anti-aging and firming. I also have to give major props to the mist on this spray which is so light is what I would consider the finest mist I've used.

It leaves the face soft and nourished, and since using this I have noticed that my face looks softer and feels softer. Although it is a higher price point for a facial mist, I personally would consider this item to be a blend of a toner and liquid serum in one product. So, if you're looking for the perfect treat to treat yourself look no more!

My new skin savior

This moisturizer is one of my new favorite skin products of all time. I love how nourishing and hydrating this moisturizer is. I have always been a huge fan of It cosmetics and their innovative mind when it comes to blending makeup and skin care all into one item. However, their skincare line is definitely one of the most underrated skin care collections of all time. I personally have dry/dehydrated skin and was in need of a cure-all moisturizer to last me during this cold winter.

This moisturizer is jam-packed with collagen and hyaluronic acid to help plump and hydrate the skin at a deeper level to ensure my skin feels nice and hydrated. It also contains peptides to prevent early signs of aging, and although I'm only in my early twenties, I appreciate knowing that this will assist in combatting any age signs and taking steps in preventing my skin from getting dried out.

I've enjoyed it so much, that I've purchased it for my mom and best friends since! Definitely a staple in anyone who wants an added boost of hydration!

My new everyday palette

I used to feel that pale pink tones would wash me out, being an olive/tan complexion gal with brown eyes I never swayed away from my safe brown neutrals, however, Charlotte Tilbury has changed my mind on that completely. I really enjoy this palette and have easily turned this into the item that I reach to the most when I get ready in the morning.

I really enjoy the color pay off and the application probably the most based on the fact that this eyeshadow blends like a dream and both the glitters and the mattes are incredibly smooth and creamy. I also really enjoy that this palette is a one-stop shop and love that the steps are clearly outlined, and is a product that both makeup pro's and newbies can enjoy due to the easy application process.

I can't stop raving about this delightfully dreamy palette and can't stop raving about this to my friends!
