Today I want to show you two new products that I had recently added to my everyday makeup routine: Hourglass Veil Translucent Setting Powder and Hourglass Ambient Lighting Bronzer. Let me start from the setting powder.
Hourglass Veil Translucent Setting Powder
This Hourglass translucent setting powder is an ultra-refined powder formulated with light-reflecting particles to blur imperfections. As the brand describes, Hourglass Veil Translucent Setting powder blurs the appearance of pores, fine lines, and wrinkles for an airbrushed finish.

It features an innovative gold sifter and custom cap which allow for the perfect amount of product to be dispensed. I've never had any issue with it so far.

You will appreciate the fact that this translucent setting powder doesn't contain talk, so because of that , it leaves an absolutely invisible finish , making it perfect for all skin tones. This powder is also formulated without Parabens.
It's very finely milled so it doesn't leave powdery look on my dry skin. I apply this Hourglass Veil Translucent Setting Powder after my La Mer liquid foundation and it creates an amazing natural finish.
No let's move on to another product from Hourglass: Ambient Lighting Bronzer that I bought in travel size and I'm glad I did, because this bronzer will probably last me forever.
Hourglass Ambient Lighting Bronzer
This Hourglass Ambient Lighting Bronzer fuses the illuminating effects of Ambient Lighting Powder with bronze pigments to add depth and dimension for a sun-kissed glow.

The hand-made powders are formulated using an advanced miscelare technique to create the perfect balance of pigment and powder, and no two look alike. This bronzer can be worn alone for subtle warmth and contouring or paired with a setting powder.
I use the darker part of this bronzer as a bronzer, but the lighter part for highlighting, but you can simply use it as a bronzer.
I like the fact that it's not too shimmery, even though it has some simmer to it, and just like Hourglass setting powder that I was talking about in this post, this bronzer is also free from Parabens.
These were definitely great addition to my makeup collection but will I repurchase them? __ probably not, because even though I really like both products, I also like to give a try to other products.
Thanks for reading!

Happy Monday lovelies,
I hope everyone is healthy and safe. I know it took me much longer than you probably expected but I'm back and today I want to share with you my thoughts on this "ULTA Tinted Mineral Face Lotion SPF30," as I promised couple of weeks ago.
I hope everyone is healthy and safe. I know it took me much longer than you probably expected but I'm back and today I want to share with you my thoughts on this "ULTA Tinted Mineral Face Lotion SPF30," as I promised couple of weeks ago.
"ULTA Tinted Mineral Face Lotion SPF30" is a lightweight moisturizing Tinted Mineral Face Lotion SPF30 that gives skin Broad Spectrum UVA/UVB coverage, and also, environmental protection, while the lightly tinted formula gives skin a smooth finish.
Couple of things to know about this "ULTA Tinted Mineral Face Lotion SPF30:"
- It's lightly tinted
- Contains Shea Butter and EveningPrimrose to hydrate skin
- Contains Green Tea and Cucumber to help smooth and hydrate skin
- It has UVA/UVB protection
- It's water resistant up to 80 minutes
- It's free of mineral oil, parabens, and sulfates.
Now let's talk about the only reason I wouldn't give this product a five star __ it has light tint to it, wich would be perfectly fine but it becomes kind of pink-ish later. You can easily cuver up that pinkish tone with your pressed powder but if you prefer to wear just sunscreen, then it might be the issue for you. Other than that, I think this is a nice tinted moisturizer with SPF30 in it , especially in this price range.
Stay safe and stay fabulous!

I've always been Sephora gal from being Beauty Insider to VIB ROUGE over the years but I recently ended up shopping at Ulta store for the first time, for a particular sunscreen.
Even though I couldn't find that exact product, I purchased this UltaBeauty Mineral Matte Tinted Face Lotion SPF30, and signed up for Ulta Reward Program which is free.
As a welcome gift, I received this cute pink makeup bag, also, BareMinerals Prime Time Original foundation primer, Kate Somerville ExfoliKate Intensive Exfoliating Treatment, Philosophy Renewed Hope in a Jar Peeling mousse (which I yet to use) and these cute Invisi Bobble traceless hair rings.
I am going to do a quick review of this UltaBeauty Mineral Matte Tinted Face Lotion on Wednesday, so far it seems like a good sunscreen option for my skin. Have you used any of these products? Let me know in the commnets below.
Wish you all a wonderful first week of March.

Free, bold and connected young women were the ones that inspired creator of Twilly d'Hermes Eau de Parfum to create this fragrance, those "young women who turn expectation on its head, swim against the tide, impose their own rhythm, invert a brand new tempo."
 |
| Twilly d'Hermes Eau de Parfum |
I got this Twilly d'Hermes Eau de Parfum gift set as one of my birthday presents back in November and quite honestly, I was little disappointed with the strong old-fashion scent. Perhaps, I was expected something like my all-time paforite perfume _ Hermes Les Aux de Marveilles.
This perfume gift set includes:
- Twilly d'Hermes Eau de Parfum (full size)
- Twilly d'Hermes Eau de Parfum (mini size)
- Twilly d'Hermes Moisturizing Body Lotion
 |
| Twilly d'Hermes Eau de Parfum gift set |
Twilly d'Hermes is not a light, sophisticated everyday perfume you would wear in the office, it's a floral fragrance but it's also sweet and spicy with oriental notes. Speaking of notes, let's mention that main notes in this perfume are ginger, tuberose and sandalwood.
I, actually, like light floral scents but here _ floral tones are mixed with spiciness (ginger is one of the top notes in this fragrance, after all,) and sweetness that makes me feel like I can't tolerate this scent for too long.
Don't take me wrong, it's not a bad fragrance, it's just not for me.
Packaging is adorable, as you can see, the bowler hat lid with Hermes tiny scarf. As for staying power, it lasts almost all day.

| Twilly d'Hermes Eau de Parfum full and travel size |
If you like light scents, you should skip this fragrance but if you like sweet, floral, strong, spicy scents, you should check this out , you may find your next signature scent.
Have you worn this fragrance yet? How you liked it? Let me know in the comments below.
Wish you all a wonderful day!

There is no good skincare routine without a right exfoliator and today I'm talking about three face exfoliators I've been using for a while.
Laura Mercier Face Polish __ how to use and what to expect:
Laura Mercier Face Polish __ how to use and what to expect:
According to the label, this exfoliator "effectively cleanses and exfoliates, removes dead skin cells to leave skin smooth and even-toned."
I like how nicely this exfoliator cleans the pores, it's scented but love how it smells. It's suitable for all skin type, but I personally feel like this is little harsher than Caudalie Deep Cleansing Exfoliator, (that I'm going to talk about, little later in this post) because this one contains purifying microbeads.
So, I would not recomend using this more than twice a week for people with dry, sensitive skin.
Just like any other exfoliator, place a small amount of this Face Polish onto your fingertips and gently massage into dampened skin, then rinse with warm water.

So, I would not recomend using this more than twice a week for people with dry, sensitive skin.
Just like any other exfoliator, place a small amount of this Face Polish onto your fingertips and gently massage into dampened skin, then rinse with warm water.
Fresh Face Polish
"This is a two-in-one face scrub and mask that buffs and hydrates with real brown sugar and strawberries, suitable for normal, dry, combination and oily skin types. "
This exfoliator felt very harsh first time I used it, because it's very grain-y because of the brown sugar it contains, but then I realized that you should leave it on the skin for about 5 minutes like a mask (that's why it's "two-in-one" scrub) and the brown sugar starts melting into your skin _ make it gentle enough to be used as an exfoliator.
The best part about this exfoliator is that it's up to you how gentle you want your scrub to be _ if you prefer more grainy scrubs, don't leave this exfoliator on your skin too long, massage it before brown sugar melts into the skin, but if you prefer less grainy scrubs, leave this on your skin longer. After you rinse it with warm water, your skin will feel smooth and hydrated.
Even though this is not recommend for sensitive skin, I still use it once a week or so. It doesn't dry out or irritate my dry, sensitive skin.
Caudalie Deep Cleansing Exfoliator _ how to use and what to expect:
This is the most gentle exfoliator amonge these three. According to Caudalie, this "natural exfoliator instantly reveals a deeply purified, more even, and smoother complexion. Slough away dead skin and polish your complexion without drying it out. Whipped formula is composed of natural, perfectly round corn beads to gently exfoliate dead skin __ without causing irritation."
I can use this Caudalie Deep Cleansing Exfoliator almost every day and it will not irritate my dry, sensitive skin, even though it's recomended to use only twice a week.
It's infused with grape pulp extracts to hydrate the skin and probably that's what helps me not to have dryer skin after each exfoliation.

Apply little bit on your face, avoid eye area and gently massage it. Rinse with warm water.
To sum up, if you need to exfoliate your skin few times a week, Caudalie Deep Cleansing Exfoliator is the best option, because it's not very grainy, it's gentle, I don't detect any fragrance in it, it doesn't irritate dry, sensitive skin and it doesn't contain harm chemicals.
For those who love little more grain in their exfoliating products, may like Laura Mercier Face Polish more, but keep in mind that it's scented (pleasant smell , though), it's very effectivein terms of cleaning the pores.
But for even more efective cleaning, Fresh Face Polish might be the option: it can be most grain-y among these three products, if you don't let it sit on the skin too long, It doesn't contain harsh chemicals and leaves the skin smooth after using it. The only thing I don't like about this scrub is smell.

Today I want to show guys a few skincare products and gift set that I got at Sephora other day:
Let me start from this YSL gift set that came in this cute pouch:
1. YSL Mascara Volume Effect Faux Cils (travel size)
2. YSL lipgloss (travel size)
3. Touch Eclat Blur Primer: _ I don't think I need to say anything about this primer other than almost everyone who has used it, loved it. I had this primer long time ago, but I was so busy using my other primers, particularly Guerlain D'Or primer that I never got to use it and after it expired, I ended up throwing away. This time, I'm going to use it.

This time, I'm going to use it.
I recently discovered brand Murad at Sephora and decided to give it a try. I bought a skincare gift set that includes Murad Hydration AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser, Nutrient-Charged Water Gel and Invisiblur Perfecting Shield Broad Spectrum SPF 30+++. I also bought a face exfoliator Pore Rescue _Skin Smoothing Polish. Since I haven't tried anything from this skincare gift set yet, I will leave it for future post.
but I already applied this exfoliator to my skin couple of times and I have to recognize it isn't for my dry, sensitive skin.
As the label says, this "intensive exfoliating scrub deeply cleans clogged pores and reduces excess oil without stripping skin of natural moisture for a smoother, glowing complexion."
Let's start from the fact that it doesn't have enough grain for my preference, I feel like it doesn't clean deeply. Even though it's not grain-y, it is harsher for my skin than my other exfoliators. Love the packaging and gentle scent of this exfoliator but I will probably return it or will give it to someone else who doesn't have dry sensitive skin.

There are beauty products that are must-haves for most of the people and a good, trusted concealer is one of them, especially if you've got dark circles under your eyes. Today I want to show you some of my favorite concealers I've used for years.
YSL All Hours Concealer:
This is a full coverage concealer that can instantly blur and erase imperfections and discoloration on face. As for formula, this is more liquid side then other concealers I'm talking about today, and it also feels more moisturizing then other ones.
 |
| YSL All Hours Concealer |
Make sure you apply your setting / finishing powder after this concealer so that it will not crease or fade throughout the day.
This YSL ultra-smooth, matt finish concealer comes in 16 different shades so you will definitely be able to find perfect match for your skin tone.
ALL Hours concealer is free from Parabens, Sulfates, and Phthalates.
Guerlain Multi-Perfecting concealer:
With this Guerlain Multi-Perfecting hydrating concealer you can hide dark circles and imperfections and create a natural-looking finish. It's a creamy concealer that comes in a little tube with a fine tip so you have great control over how much you squeeze out, that way, you don't waste too much product and also, it's hygienic.
 |
| Guerlain Multi-Perfecting concealer |
This creamy concealer comes in 6 shades from Light Warm to Very Deep Cool. Among the three concealers I'm talking about today, this has the most coverage and it's the best to cover any imperfections on face, but keep in mind that you will still need to apply a color corrector under your eyes prior to tis concealer, if you've got very dark circles.
 |
| Guerlain Multi-Perfecting concealer |
Guerlain Multi-Perfecting concealer has delicate floral scent of rose, raspberry, jasmine and white musk but as I said, it's very delicate scent , nothing annoying, and even though it's scented, it doesn't irritate my skin or eyes.
Guerlain Multi-Perfecting concealer is free from Parabens, Sulfates, and Phthalates.
This creamy, liquid concealer minimizes the look of flaws, blemishes and dark circles wtih full, natural looking coverage.

Luxury concealers you should check out this fall
Luxury concealers you should check out this fall
There are beauty products that are must-haves for most of the people and a good, trusted concealer is one of them, especially if you've got dark circles under your eyes. Today I want to show you some of my favorite concealers I've used for years.
YSL All Hours Concealer:
This is a full coverage concealer that can instantly blur and erase imperfections and discoloration on face. As for formula, this is more liquid side then other concealers I'm talking about today, and it also feels more moisturizing then other ones.
|
| YSL All Hours Concealer |
Make sure you apply your setting / finishing powder after this concealer so that it will not crease or fade throughout the day.
This YSL ultra-smooth, matt finish concealer comes in 16 different shades so you will definitely be able to find perfect match for your skin tone.
ALL Hours concealer is free from Parabens, Sulfates, and Phthalates.
Guerlain Multi-Perfecting concealer:
With this Guerlain Multi-Perfecting hydrating concealer you can hide dark circles and imperfections and create a natural-looking finish. It's a creamy concealer that comes in a little tube with a fine tip so you have great control over how much you squeeze out, that way, you don't waste too much product and also, it's hygienic.
|
| Guerlain Multi-Perfecting concealer |
This creamy concealer comes in 6 shades from Light Warm to Very Deep Cool. Among the three concealers I'm talking about today, this has the most coverage and it's the best to cover any imperfections on face, but keep in mind that you will still need to apply a color corrector under your eyes prior to tis concealer, if you've got very dark circles.
|
| Guerlain Multi-Perfecting concealer |
Guerlain Multi-Perfecting concealer has delicate floral scent of rose, raspberry, jasmine and white musk but as I said, it's very delicate scent , nothing annoying, and even though it's scented, it doesn't irritate my skin or eyes.
Guerlain Multi-Perfecting concealer is free from Parabens, Sulfates, and Phthalates.

Givenchy Poudre Premiere Mat & Translucent-finish loose powder and Givenchy Prisme Visage Perfecting Face Powder are my favorite makeup products from this brand. I'm not a person who loves loose powders because of their messiness and I was not sure it was a good decision to buy this Givenchy Poudre Premiere Mat & Translucent-finish loose powder but I'm so glad I did.

| Givenchy Poudre Premiere Mat & Translucent-finish loose powder |
What is Givenchy Poudre Premiere Mat & Translucent-finish
loose powder and what it does:
This is a universal, transparent loose finishing powder for the face that imparts radiant complexion throughout the day.
This transparent, featherlike, superfine loose finishing powder applies completely sheer, and gives skin an even, matte, and naturally radiant complexion. It feels absolutely luxurious from the moment you open its gorgeous black enamel case to the minutes you apply it with its microfiber powder puff on your skin.

It feels absolutely luxurious from the moment you open its gorgeous black enamel case to the minutes you apply it with its microfiber powder puff on your skin.
Givenchy Poudre Premiere Mat & Translucent-finish loose powder is really superfine that has a very pleasant smell. I usually apply it over my liquid foundation and it gives my skin natural, airbrushed finish. The only downside is that it's not the best option for traveling.
This takes me to my another favorite Givenchy powder that is great for travelling since it's a pressed powder and as a bonus, you can also color correct and highlight your skin.
This is a mattifying, ultra-fine, and smooth pressed powder that's formulated with silk proteins in a harmony of four complimentary shades to perfect the complexion.
Givenchy Prisme Visage Perfecting Face Powder comes in different shades for different skin tones that is great. Its pigments are blended with mica powder for added luminosity, and a blurring ingredient smooths the skin and reduces the look of blemishes. It also includes a beleved brush for a flawless application. I'm personally not a big fan of this brush, but the powder itself is great.
I bought it shade Satin Ivoire which suppose to create a luminous effect on light skin tones but you can get in a few shades, including Mousseline Pastel for color correction. You can use each shade of four-shade pressed powder separately or together.

Fall is the perfect time to try new, warmer-tone perfumes after light scents that most of the time accompanies Summer days. If you are in the middle of searching your new signature perfume for this Fall I have a few suggestions for you (but this is not a sponsored post, it doesn't contain any affiliate links either.)
It would be hard to choose just one favorite because I love all of them, it just depends on my mood and outfit of the day, which one of these perfumes I wear each day.
Burberry "My Burberry"
Inspired by the trench coat of the Burberry brand, "My Burberry" captures the fragrance of a London garden after the rain. Its contemporary floral scent features a delicate heart of rose woven with an unexpected touch of geranium leaf.
Top notes: __ sweet pea, bergamot
Middle notes: _ geranium, golden quince, freesia
Base notes: __ patchouli, damask, centifolia roses
It's a fresh, soft floral, a bit powdery and someway unisex scent of "My Burberry" that makes this fragrance so special to me. Even though it lasts only up to 6-7 hours, "My Burberry" has become one of my very favorite fragrances.
The flacon is stunning __ it's made of glass with a stopper inspired by the bottom of a Burberry trench coat and how cute this ribbon is, that is made of the same fabric as the Burberry trench.
Burberry "My Burberry Black"
If you liked how the previous perfume sounded but didnt like its lasting power, then this "My Burberry Black" is for you because it lasts longer than original "My Burberry" and it smels as amazing as the previous one. This is a warm, floral and intimate fragrance that can be worn in chilly days and even better _ for your next night out because it is sexy but not overwelming.
As Burberry describes, "My Burberry Black" fuses the scent of sun-drenched Jasmine flower and Peach nectar with a sensual touch of Rose. The iconic Rose note at the heart of My Burberry fragrances is given a sweet and inviting candied twist while rich Amber Patchouli rounds out the scent for a deep and captivating finish.
Notes:
Peach Nectar, Sun-Drenched Jasmine
Candied Rose and Amber Patchouli
I like that My Burberry Black has a spicy scent but soft spicy, nothing annoying in it, with deep Amber Patchouli tones that can for sure make you stand out wherever you go.
Some people might call this fragrance masculin but I would call it bold, it's a bold scent but not overwhelming.
The bottle is almost same as My Burberry, just in a darker tone with the same cute ribon on the cap. Lasting power is amazing, you don't even need to re-apply it during a day or night.
Bottega Veneta "Bottega Veneta"
This perfume has very sensual and intriguing scent __ it's little bit floral, with more spicy and dry, woody notes. You can feel leathery undertones throughout a day as well.
"Bottega Veneta" is not a typical feminine perfume __ it's a unique mix of spicy, leather and floral notes that can change your mood right after you apply it and yes, wearing this parfume, you can definitely make a statement.
Dior "Miss Dior"
Warm, Sweet, Floral __ that's how I would describe this Dior "Miss Dior" Eau de Parfum in three words. If you love sweet scents you may enjoy wearing this perfume.
Key Notes:
Rosewood, Bergamot and Grasse Rose.
In the heart of the fragrance, the fresh, sensual beauty of the Grasse rose combines with the boldness of Damascus rose. They are woven with Calabrian bergamot, vivid rosewood from French Guiana, and pink pepper from Reunion Island. You can smell sweet notes with the pink pepper and orange at beginning but it settles into powdery roses and blossoms.
Lancome "Hypnose"
"Hypnose" is a sweet, elegant and feminine, kind of cozy fragrance with its low note of passion flower and violet, mid notes of vanilla and jasmine and top notes of amber and woods. It's not overwelming but definitely outstanding.
The bottle of this fragrance is so luxurious, evocative of a woman's silhouette. There is something about this fragrance that makes you feel very special.

First thing that will come to your mind when you think about Tiffany&Co. is classic, beautiful, sophisticated jewelry but did you know that Tiffani&Co. also has some amazing fragrances? __ I didn't , honestly.. until I didn't receive this gift set from my husband.
I remember, first few minutes of disappoint because I usually expect perfumes from my all-time favorite brands like Burberry, Dior, Chanel and etc, but after I sprayed it on my wrist I loved the scent.
Top note: Vert de Mandarine
Middle note: Blue Iris
Base note: Patchouli, Musk
Fresh, classic and sophisticated __ that's how I would describe this Tiffany&Co. Eau de Parfum in three words. This is a radiant and modern scent that opens with vibrant top notes of vert de mandarine. At its heart, the signature ingredient _ iris flower _ adds femininity. It dries down on the skin with warm nuances of patchouli and gentle musky notes, but I barely smell these notes on my skin.
This sparkling floral musk fragrance is designed around the noble iris, a flower _ associated with Tiffany as a recurring motif in its jewelry designs.
As for longetivity, it lasts almost all day on me so I'm I have nothing to complain about.
This fragrance can be worn any season of the year, including summer, since its not overwhelming scent. It's slightly floral with slight sweetness and freshness.
This perfume git set includes a full size (2.5 FL Oz) and travel size perfumes and comes in the signature Tiffany&Co. Blue Box. Just like the scent itself, the bottle is also simple and classic. The crystal bottle recalls the iconic Tiffany Yellow Diamond cut and inside the bottle you can see a delicate juice with the slightest tint of blue.

If you are looking for a new moisturizer to add to your daily skincare routine, here are few options you can consider. I have used quite many moistturizers from Estee Lauder over the years and here are the ones that I liked the most:
Let me start from the best of the best _ "Verite Moisture Relief Creme". This alcohol-free and fragrance-free moisturizer is for truly sensitive skin. It contains special anti-irritants that help reduce the appearance of redness _ common to sensitive skin. The formula is free of common allergens and created without harsh emulsifiers.
Estee Lauder "Verite Moisture Relief Creme" is the most soothing, gentle moisturizer I have ever used. It was the only cream that didn't irritate my sensitive skin that was covered with red rash from an allergic reaction to one of my shampoos, back then. Of course, I could name many other moisturizers that could moisture my skin longer than "Verite Moisture Relief Creme" but when my skin was in its worst condition this was the only product that helped my skin to be moisturized without irritating already irritated skin.

The lightweight formula feels luxurious when you apply on your skin and absorbs quickly while leaving the skin smooth and hydrated. So, if you have very sentitve skin or your skin is extremly irritated for whatever reason, you should feel safe to use this moisturizer.
Estee Lauder "Daywear Advanced Multi-Protection Anti-Oxidant Creme"
Estee Lauder "Hydrationist" Maximum Moisture Creme
Another great product from Estee Lauder __ "Hydrationist" Maximum Moisture Creme. This is a lightweight moisturizer that absorbs quickly and leaves the skin feel amazing. It is slightly scented but to the point that never borthered me when I used use this cream. "Hydrationist" is perfect under makeup as well. The only thing is that it doesn't contain SPF so you will need to apply sunscreen after this moisturizer.
Edited: After I published this post I found out that unfortunately, "Hydrationist" Maximum Moisture Creme has discontinued.
Thanks for reading lovelies.

Today I want to show you guys a few products I've recently bought at Sephora and that I desperately needed, especially this Donna Karan Cashmere Mist Deodorant ($29) that I had purchased few times in the past and lip products. I picked up this gorgeous DIOR ADDICT "Lacquer Stick ($37) in #202 "Stargirl" and MAC Grand Illusion Glossy Liquid Lipcolour ($22) in color "Dance All Night."
 |
| Donna Karan "Cashmere Mist", Stilla eyeliner, MAC and Dior lip glosses, Caudalie eye cream |
I also bought Stilla "Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner" ($22) because they didn't have in the store my favorite Sephora eyeliner but I'm happy with this Stilla eyeliner too, it's got a thin tip that helps me create a clean line, it's waterproof and bold black.
I also bought this Caudalie Energizing and smoothing eye cream ($39) that is a fragrance-free anti-wrinkle eye treatment to combat fine lines, puffiness, and dehydration. I like that it comes in a tube that is a great hygienic option and it contains Vitamin C to support collagen around delicate skin.

Long gone those days when I used to wear matt finish makeup on my face and loved it. In recent years, I started to appreciate glowing skin more, whether I get it from skincare or makeup products. When I saw Tatcha Luminous Dewy Mist ($48) in this beautiful bottle, that was claiming that my skin would get that luminous glowing look, I knew, I had to have it.
This mist is a silky, fine mist moisturizer for a boost of soothing hydration and a luminous complexion. It is formulated with more than 20 percent botanical oils to leave skin dewy. It is also infused with anti-aging complex, Japanese anti-aging super-foods __ Green Tea, Rice And Algae that restores the look of youthful radiance.
How to use Tatcha Luminous Dewy Mist:
As the label claims, the Dewy Skin Mist's super-fine spayer only takes two to three spritzes for your whole face but in reality, you will end up spraying way more than that. You can use right before applying makeup for flawless application and dewy, glowing look, or you can mist it over makeup you replenish moisture and prevent caking.
I love the idea of applying this mist over makeup to give the finish that glow, but unfortunately, I can't apply it over my makeup because, for some reason, this mist gets clogged or something, it starts leaking and the spray is never even. The product leaves oily blotches that have to be blend out after application otherwise it's noticeable on the skin. Once I blend it out, the finish is absolutely beautiful.
Overall, it's a great mist for glowing skin, I also like the fact that it doesn't contain harmful ingredients, but the application process makes me realise that I will not be repurchasing it in future.

Have you used this mist yet? Let me know how it worked for you.

Tatcha Luminous Dewy Skin Mist review
Tatcha Luminous Dewy Skin Mist review
Long gone those days when I used to wear matt finish makeup on my face and loved it. In recent years, I started to appreciate glowing skin more, whether I get it from skincare or makeup products. When I saw Tatcha Luminous Dewy Mist ($48) in this beautiful bottle, that was claiming that my skin would get that luminous glowing look, I knew, I had to have it.
This mist is a silky, fine mist moisturizer for a boost of soothing hydration and a luminous complexion. It is formulated with more than 20 percent botanical oils to leave skin dewy. It is also infused with anti-aging complex, Japanese anti-aging super-foods __ Green Tea, Rice And Algae that restores the look of youthful radiance.
How to use Tatcha Luminous Dewy Mist:
As the label claims, the Dewy Skin Mist's super-fine spayer only takes two to three spritzes for your whole face but in reality, you will end up spraying way more than that. You can use right before applying makeup for flawless application and dewy, glowing look, or you can mist it over makeup you replenish moisture and prevent caking.
I love the idea of applying this mist over makeup to give the finish that glow, but unfortunately, I can't apply it over my makeup because, for some reason, this mist gets clogged or something, it starts leaking and the spray is never even. The product leaves oily blotches that have to be blend out after application otherwise it's noticeable on the skin. Once I blend it out, the finish is absolutely beautiful.
Overall, it's a great mist for glowing skin, I also like the fact that it doesn't contain harmful ingredients, but the application process makes me realise that I will not be repurchasing it in future.

As years pass by, my habits about makeup are changing and I decided to share with you what are the things that I have been doing differently this year.
I buy less makeup
Yes, I buy less makeup nowdays. Just the fact that, from being VIB ROUGE at Sephora (with my over $1,000 beauty purchase a year) I have become Rouge and I'm on my way down to Beauty Insider, says it all.
I've been throwing away so many beauty products over the years because I just couldnt use all of them, that I realized, it was time to start buying the things that I would defintely use. Of course, I still make an impulse beauty purchase time to time, but overall, my trips to Sephora has dramatically reduced, LOL.

I apply less makeup on my face
I used to wear full makeup on a daily bases, that's the habit I brought to USA from my home city, 10 years ago, but this year I started to wear less makeup and couldn't be happier. Of course, I still wear a full makeup if I go to any meeting or other important places but on a daily bases I just apply my sunscreen, concealer under my eyes and lipgloss.
I only buy high end beauty products
I remember, every time I would be in any drug store, I would buy tons of makeup products that would either irritate my dry, sensitive skin or they would other way disappoint me, so this year I officially stopped buying drugstore makeup because when you are in your thirties, you can't afford too many experiments on your sensitive skin.
No more full coverage foundation
Even if I have to wear full makeup for any reason, I don't wear full coverage foundation anymore. I think, full coverage liquid foundations don't work for my dry, sensitive skin anymore, they look cakey and heavy on my face so I only apply light (sometimes medium) coverage foundation.
Thanks for reading, and
Stay Fabulous!
