I love SKIN1004’s Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum SPF50+ PA++++. I live in Miami, so of course I wear sunscreen every single day. This one really impressed me for many reasons. There is absolutely no white cast. It almost goes on more like skincare than sunblock. It gave my skin a matte look, which is wonderful because I have somewhat oily skin. It sits nicely under makeup, with no pilling. The cream is hydrating as appose to many sunscreens that make skin dry. It is lightweight and breathable. I I love the use of Centella Asiatica, which is there to moisturize and combat redness.

I love PÜR Beauty’s Multitasking Essentials Best Sellers Kit. Each piece is great and includes the basics for a quick touch up, post beach, post gym, post work, whatever/whenever moment. It comes with a primer that I found to be lightweight and effective. There is a mascara that definitely gave length and definition to my lashes. There is a brush included for their star product- the 4 in 1 Pressed Mineral Makeup foundation that has Broad Spectrum Spf 15 coverage. I love the look this mineral powder gives. My skin looked flawless and Matte but not flat. There is a slight luminousity without any shine. I went a shade darker than my skin and it gave me a gorgeous, natural sun kissed look.

and a result with Charlotte Tilbury’s Airbrush Flawless Foundation. This is full coverage! Your skin will look flawless, poreless, and matte with this foundation. It is designed to also reduce the appearnace of wrinkles and feel cool on the skin. It includes the CT Defence that is designed to limit exposure of the skin to everyday pollutants. It is sweat proof, humidity proof, water proof and transfer resistant. Flawless also boosts skin’s moisture level. So when you want the most coverage, with the most cutting edge innovations in foundation get with Charlotte Tilbuy. Let them think you woke up like this ;)….

and so is my foundation. I am using Loreal Paris’s Infallible 24 Hour Fresh Wear Lightweight Foundation. Gone are the days of spending big bucks to get a foundation that looks and feels luxurious. Drug store brands have stepped up in a major way. This one lasts with a Matte finish all day and night. It is breathable, waterproof, transfer resistant, and has spf protection. The coverage says medium to full. I find it so be a healthy looking full coverage. It has oil absorbers to resist sweat and water. It comes in 30 shades, so go get your Infallible coverage, and let it last all night….

is my new signature red and highly recommend you give it a try. It is from Loreal Paris’s Rouge signature Lightweight Matte Colored Ink High Pigment collection. I was incredibly impressed with this product. I am very picky when it comes to both a red, and a matte lip. This one won my love for many reasons. It’s lightweight and not too drying for a matte. It lasts literally all night. Best of all the applicator is amazing. It is a doe foot type with a very pointy end so you can be extremely precise with it. I also recommend the shade “I Don’t”. They have since introduced 8 new reds, and I need to try them all. So go bold this winter with an powerful red, you’re worth it…

It uses a concentration of oils that have no greasy effects. Powerful pigments allow full coverage and a velvet matte finish. It comes in 31 shades designed to not crackle or dull. So get it all with Armani, and then ask for more…

hydrate, protect, and prime with Lancome’s new UV Expert Sunscreen Aquagel Defense spf 50 Priming Moisturizer. I love this product. It has become my go-to daytime moisturizer. It is an oil free, lightweight, deeply hydrating moisturizer. No need to layer extra sunblock, because this has you covered with spf 50. Your skin is left with a matte base that acts as a perfect primer. I got mine in an influenster box, and I’m so glad I did. This is definitely something I will purchase again. It is made with Vitamin E, Moringa and Edelweiss. The aquagel texture turns into a water like, blendable gel that absorbs quickly. So get with this Lancome do it all, and do a little less this summer….

time to switch up my makeup. When the temperature, and humidity start to rise I always switch from a liquid to powder foundation. I have oily skin to begin with, so a powder is a must when seasons change. I have just discovered Gabriel Cosmetics Dual Powder Foundation. It is designed to minimize shine and absorb oil without clogging pores. It has a lightweight, velvety texture, and a smooth matte finish. The product is plant based, and definitely lets your skin breath. So this summer put on some dual powder before you take off some clothes…

and I’m so into it. I have a new lip obsession. It’s Lime Crime’s Red Velvet from their Matte Velvetines Collection. I spent months searching out the perfect red, and I believe I found it. It’s a liquid lipstick that dries Matte. It lasts longer than any lipstick I’ve ever used. I put it through the test with kissing, drinking, and eating. Next I need to get my hands on their Wet Cherry Gloss. So let your lips scream kiss me in a perfect red, and commit to a crime…

right after I apply my favorite foundation. Lately I’ve been going back and forth between two liquid foundations that I love. The reason they have become my favorites is because they are lightweight, long-lasting, matte, full coverage, and easily blended. The brands are Fenty’s Pro Filt’r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation and Huda Beauty’s FauxFilter Foundation. The Fenty comes in 40 shades and is made with climate adaptive technology to resist sweat and humidity. It does not clog pores and is oil free. Huda Beauty’s velvety coverage comes in 30 shades. It dries to a matte powder while leaving you with a luminous finish. It is enriched with Argan Oil and Centella Asiatica to hydrate. So get with one of these luxury foundations, and give the instagram filters a break…
