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.

Hourglass Veil Translucent Setting powder and Hourglass Ambient Lighting Bronzer 

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. 

Hourglass Veil Translucent Setting Powder 

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.

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Bronzer 

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!

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!

STAY  FABULOUS!

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.

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.

Have you used any of these products? Let me know in the comments below.
