I was wonderfully surprised by how much I loved Cle Cosmetics Hydro Blot Loose Powder. This loose powder goes on like a powder and immediately gives a slightly cool damp feel to the skin. It dries down to a beautiful semi-matte finish. I think it is a must have if you are using their CCC Cream. I found it works best when used with the sponge applicator that comes with it. It worked fine with my powder brush, but a better all over effect with what is provided. It paired well with the rest of my makeup. (I layered liquid and powder products on top of it) This is my favorite thing I have tried so far from Cle. I probably wouldn’t use this on the most humid days in a Miami summer, but other than that it will be heavy in rotation.

and I’m glad it did. It is how I found my new favorite blush. Glam by Majha blush in Blossom Pink has changed my makeup game. It is the best pink I have found, and I have tried them all. It is a matte powder. There is so much pigment and it really lasts. The company is French, so I spent more on the shipping than the actual product. It’s worth it, and I’ll do it again when I run out. I wear it alone, and sometimes over a liquid blush. It looks good on all skin colors too!

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 ;)….

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…

and now I have it with Giorgio Armani Beauty’s Power Fabric foundation. This foundation gives full coverage, matte, lightweight,  longwear, and spf. It is a best seller, and I can see why. 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…
