Current Favourites | Going Dewy for Spring!

For everyday wear, I like to spice up things and rotate in between products that works great depending on how my skin is behaving. At the moment, I have been into "less is more" look with a bit of glow than my usual matte look. I do have oily skin, but I kind of like to keep a little dew on the right places. 

THE FACE: POWDER FAVOURITES

From my past blog post read here, I did a full face powder foundation routine which transitioned my perspective towards powders! I used to hate putting on too much powder as it can appear mask looking, and heavy to the skin. With our latest innovations and advance technologies, they have created a powder formula that does not only keep your oils at bay, but also make your skin look more glowy and healthy but blurs out all imperfections giving you the most natural flawless look. 

What's In My Travel Makeup Bag?

Two weeks ago, I did an unplanned trip back to Philippines for funeral. It was a good as I haven't been home for the longest time, bad because of the reason why I decided to finally go back to visit. I find packing makeup products challenging! As much as I wanted to bring all my favorite ones on board, I have to also think of products that has double purpose since it was only a ten day trip.

BEAUTY GRAB: HOURGLASS Ambient Lighting Powder Palette

The evolution of powders these days is unstoppable. With the help of technology, powders have become more and more innovative each year. Everything changed when light reflecting powders were invented! Seriously the best invention ever! It helps anyone achieve that photoshop like makeup. With its light reflecting properties, it highlights the high points of the face also blur out any lines or imperfections.

FULL FACE WITH POWDER

There is definitely no rules into applying makeup and certainly no strict rules on which ones to rock only for summer or winter! I personally love glowing skin throughout the year. It brings out a healthy, youthful look in me.

Have oily skin? Try using powder to create a flawless but glowing base! It took me years to master the use of powder. It may seem a little intimidating at first as powders can get a little cake-y. Finding the right powder that works great on your skin is the key to achieve a flawless base. At the moment, I'm going through a phase where powders are my go-to. It is quick, fuss free and great on keeping natural oils at bay for a long period of time. There are different types of powder foundations that are available to market these days.

CURRENT FAVORITES: WATER RESISTANT, HUMIDITY, HEAT PROOF

I can finally say it is officially summer! First time in a year that I used cold water to shower, and turn on the fan at night time. For the makeup, sweat proof and humidity proof products are the most ideal products to have. You don't want to be talking to people with makeup melting off your face because that's not a good look! I have to say one of the things I don't like is when the mascara is smudging all over the under eye area. Makes you look like Joker from Batman! LOL.

The Hype Made Me Do It!

HOURGLASS first came out with their Ambient Lighting Powder, which everyone went gaga for. Of course I can't deny the fact that I fell into the bandwagon. The powder is so finely milled, silky, and melts into the skin like no other powder. It gives a soft focus finish which blurs any pores or imperfections.

 A few months ago, they released another addition to their collection, Ambient Lighting Blush. It has the same properties and formulation as the Ambient Lighting Powders - silky texture, finely milled, blends into the skin seamlessly. First of all, can we please take this time and admire how adorable the packaging and the powder itself is? I first purchased Luminous Flush which is a peachy coral shade. The next day, I went back and purchased another shade Mood Exposure which is a subtle plum (it comes off as mauve color in my skin tone) shade. Both of these blushes have warm undertones. The color pay off of these blushes are one of a kind, it is buildable and easy to blend. It almost gives the most flattering glow and healthy finish. 

Have you tried any of the Ambient Lighting Blush? Which one is your favorite?

Thanks for stopping by!
