THE FACE | SETTING POWDERS FOR OILY SKIN

Oily skin girl's best friend is a good powder to control the excessive production of oil! I could not agree more. Finding a great setting powder can make a huge difference in the makeup game. Of course primers and foundation count too but finishing products are the way to go. One of my perceptions when I was starting with makeup is that setting powders are all the same! They do the same job and give the same finish. Well, I was definitely proven wrong! Now that we are moving forward with technology, setting powders are created with different formulas and finishes so finding a great setting powder is definitely a big challenge for oily skin girls.

My skin care routine has definitely changed over the years. I constantly try and discover products that is well suited for my skin type.

THE POWER OF MAKEUP

Seeing photos of perfect girls with prefect body, skin, and hair makes me think low of myself. I feel like I'm never good enough, never beautiful, and always a wallflower. I have been battling with this emotions for as long as I can remember.

BEAUTY GRAB: REN Clearcalm 3 Replenishing Gel Cream

Ren Clean Skincare is one of the skincare brands that I have been eyeing for quite sometime. Some of the UK bloggers I subscribed to raves about this skincare brand like no other. I went to Mecca Cosmetica exactly 3 weeks ago to see what the brand's range has to offer. For reference, I have oily/ acne-prone skin with a bit of sensitivity here and there.
