This Summer I tried out a lot of foundations. I am going to tell you about my top 3. They vary in price from low to medium to high. You can not go wrong with any of these. I will start with the one I seem to use the most. It is Maybelline’s Super Stay Up to 30HR Wear Lumi-Matte Longwear Foundation. It’s just $16 and performs like a luxury product. It somehow manages to be matte and glowy at the same time. It lasts all day and night. It feels comfortable and hardly there on the skin.

My next recommendation is basically like the above just higher end. It does that matte yet luminous look and hides the look of any pores. It is the LAWLESS Forget The Filler Skin-Plumping Line-Smoothing Foundation. It is weightless while being full coverage, and packed with good for your skin ingredients.

Lastly is Gucci’s 24 Hour Full Coverage Luminous Matte Finish Foundation. It has a velvet like finish and just feels like luxury. It is luminous, matte, full coverage and advertised as waterproof. It’s everything you want a foundation to be.

with Provence Beauty’s Pink Rosé Hydrating Tinted Lip Oil. I highly recommend trying this one out. The feel is ultra luxury. A lot of lip oils on the market seem just like regular glosses to me. This one stands out as a true lip oil. The feel is lux. It is soft and soothing immediately upon application. The color is gorgeous and I think a nice universal shade for all skin tones. It has the perfect amount of glisten without looking like you’ve got junk on your face. There is no stickiness. I love that it is packed with good for you ingredients but I would happily buy it just for the feel and look alone. The only negative thing if I had to search for one is that you do need to reapply. Your lips soak up the moisture and the initial glow fades a bit. This is a great lipstick topper, but for me I will be rocking this daily on its own. 

so I’ve upped my serum game. I am currently using Nani Pua’s 1960 Ethnobotanical Face Serum. This luxury botanical oil blend is lightweight yet insanely moisturizing. It brightens and hydrates with “15 vital rare ingredients” that address a broad range of skin conditions. Ethnobotany is the study of a region’s plants and their practical uses through the traditional knowledge of local culture and people. Head to their website to review each ingredient used and why they chose it. So get with Nani Pua and don’t let winter take the glow out of your skin.

I’m telling you to get into this entire line. If you want soft hair, this is your answer. I recently discovered the line Oi by Davines at my last hair appointment. My stylist used it on me and I had to call her later to get the details. I was touching my hair all day. I couldn’t believe how soft and light it felt. I’ve always loved Davines products and this line hits it out of the park.  “The name OI comes from the ancient Eastern idea of harmony through the balance of opposite forces. In an effort to create balance between the senses, mulitple benefits and effectiveness, OI lets you see immediate positive results from your first use.” The power ingredient is Roucou oil, which gives major shine and softness, as well as protection from environmental damage. The Shampoo and Conditioner are luxurious. My favorites are the Lightweight Oi All in one Milk and the Multi-function Oil. They detangle, control frizz, and protect from heat. So try out Oi from Davines but don’t get freaked out if everyone starts playing with your hair…..

with some new faves. Lets start with skincare. I’m loving Algenist Skincare’s AA Barrier Serum. This antioxidant rich serum is designed to defent the skin barrier against pollutants and environmental aggressors. It uses Alguronic Acid, Niacinamide, Phloretin, and Ergothioneine. It improves skins appearance and uneveness. I love the texture of it. It feels luxurious and absorbs well.

My new makeup finds start with a cult favorite foundation. I now understand why Estee Lauder’s Double Wear Foundation is so popular. This 24 hour wear, full coverage, Matte foundation really delivers. It leaves skin looking fresh and flawless yet somehow remains lightweight on the skin. It is heat resistant, and waterproof. There are over 55 shades to choose from.

Taking things to the ever important brows. For the last few years I’ve stuck with NYX’s micro brow pencil. I think it’s better than its expensive competitors. I’m now following it with their Control Freak Eyebrow Gel. It is a clear gel that tames brows and gives a fuller effect. It’s not sticky and stays comfortable all day. So play with some new finds for 2021, I won’t tell last year’s products you’re cheating 😉 

ya that’s what it’s called. Rose Bush’s Pussy Butter is bringing luxury to vaginal skincare. The “butter” is designed to hydrate, soften, and rejuvenate your most precious parts. It smells and tastes like rose and white chocolate. It is ph balanced and contains natural antibacterial properties. The small jar contains extract from 90 roses and the large jar has 240. It is completly organic and plant based with no synthetics or chemicals. All ingredients are cold pressed, steam distilled or C02 extracted. So take care of yourself with Rose Bush, and have some you time ;)….

my Purederm Exfoliating Foot Masks. These sock type masks are filled with Papaya & Chamomile Extract. They soften and rid feet of calluses and dead skin cells. Your feet are left soft and smooth. Luxury doesn’t have to be expensive. A pair is around $6 on amazon. So no excuse for beaten up feet. You’re more likely to get a foot rub if they’re cute 😉
muse-spray-lotion-riddle-oil
Riddle is a high quality luxury frangrance oil and skincare brand. I love their Original Scented Spray Lotion. This is a moisturizer in spray form. It is “formulated to mix with your personal chemistry and create a signature scent unique to you. The scent profile is subtle and clean making it a very approachable scent that can be worn for every occasion.” I love how lightweight yet effective this lotion is. It is made with organic aloe, coconut & grape seed oil, and vegetable glycerin. So get with Riddle for lightweight luxury, and bring your uniqueness everywhere….

loofah. I’ve upgraded my shower routine with my Bathorium Konjac Bamboo Charcoal Body Sponge. This sponge is so much more luxurious and exfoliating then the loofah’s I’ve been using in the past. It uses hand harvested Asian Konjac root which is naturally micro-antibacterial. So unlike a loofa it naturally fights off bacteria. The Bamboo charcoal helps draw out impurities. Simply add your body wash and luxuriate in major lather. I love that it comes on a string so you can hang it to dry. So upgrade your shower time with Bathorium, and keep it clean …. for now…

Lifestyle

of your skincare. I have been using House of Aenea’s Lifestyle Enhancer. This “couture, luxury, high performance, anti-ageing skincare collection, is devised and inspired from the science of epigenetics.” The line is designed to combat the effects of pollution, stress, and negative lifestyle choices. Lifestyle Enhancer is a serum that fights glycation, increases firmness, and reduces wrinkles. It’s loaded with antioxidants and other amazing ingredients to fight the effects of sun damage and UV rays. So get with Aenea, and let everything in your life get a bit enhanced….
