LUXURY MAKEUP HAUL
Happy Monday! Every few months I like to do a refresh on my everyday makeup. I'm excited to share some new products I've added in my daily rotation and have been testing out the past several weeks. To see all of my makeup hauls, click HERE.
DIOR BACKSTAGE Face & Body Foundation - For the summer I wanted a lighter, low maintenance foundation so I picked up this one from Dior. It has a light-weight, blendable texture with light to medium coverage. It goes on easily, has a natural finish and comes in 40 different shades. The color "0 Cool Rosy" is a perfect match for my cool undertones/fair complexion.
Hourglass Veil Translucent Setting Powder - I liked the idea of this powder having an airbrushed finish without weighing your skin down. So far I've been using it on easy makeup days to lightly set my entire face. I love the texture, it really is weightless!
Fenty Beauty Sun Stalk'r Instant Warmth Bronzer - I've been using this Marc Jacobs Bronzer for longer than I can remember so it was time to try something new. The packaging on the new Fenty Sun Stalk'r Bronzer immediately drew me in, it's stunning. I'm always impressed with the Fenty designs and aesthetic. I've been using the shade "Inda Sun" which is a great neutral-bronze shade. It's neither orange nor ashy.
Farsali Rose Gold 24K Skin Mist - Beauty products with gold flakes always intrigue me. There's really no way to know whether the 24K gold flakes do anything but I love how refreshing this mist feels on my skin. The spray nozzle is also amazing in that it actually works. No one likes to be spit on by their setting spray (it is a thing) so this one is perfect.
Natasha Denona Mini Nude Eyeshadow Palette - I've been eyeing ND eyeshadows for years but a $239 palette is a little spendy. They've now released these mini palettes for $25 which is amazing. The pigmentation of these is incredible. The first time I went in with a shimmery shade, I had to remove some. A little too much wham bam thank you, ma'am. They're much smaller than the large palettes which I love for travel.
SLIP Pure Silk Pillowcase + Eye Mask - Premature aging and wrinkles is enough to freak anyone out (I know I'm not the only one!) While it's an inevitable part of life, I'm all for anything that will help take care of my skin. I'm a side sleeper and these SLIP Silk Pillowcases are designed to help protect your skin against creasing that occurs while sleeping on your face. They also aim to hydrate the skin and protect hair from damage and split ends. I opted for this sassy leopard print pillowcase and the matching eye mask but they come in several colors (also available in King size here).
MAC Prep + Prime Highlighter - One re-purchase of this haul is the MAC Prep + Prime Highlighter in "Radiant Rose." This is the best under-eye brightener I've ever used. It has a light, rose-pink tone that instantly brightens and lifts under the eye area. I notice a dramatic difference in my dark circles and it gives a fresh-faced, radiant glow.
MAC Technakohl Liner - I picked up this liner in "Risque" to use on the arch of my brow bone. Highlighting this area helps to lift the eye area up and sharpen the brows. I also love the versatility the shade has to also brighten up tear ducts or the waterline.
MAC Prep + Prime Lip - This Prep + Prime Lip base was a nice little freebie MAC included with my order. It's a balm for smoothing, moisturizing and priming the lips before lipstick/liner. MAC has amazing lip products so I'm excited to give this a go.
What products are you currently using? Hope you all have a great week!
