This week I pulled out some old favorites and found a new primer/foundation combo I liked. I'm almost done with my Fresh Black Tea Age-Delay Body Cream. This has such a glossy lush texture. It's medium weight, has a light and delicious scent plus it's firming to the skin. Fresh makes the best body products. Heeley Sel Marin is one of my all time favorite sea scents. I love niche perfumes. I'm actually kind of sad Barney's closed because that was how I discovered this scent and brand. I love it's slightly dirty, earthy and citrus sea scent. Notes are: lemon, Sicilian bergamot, sea salt, seaweed, vetiver, birch, cedar.
I recently have discovered NUDESTIX. I know I'm late to the party but my recent acquisition is Beach Babe. I love the creamy pigmented formula. It's neither too dry nor too emollient. It the perfect cream blush texture that ensures it's not tacky and it lasts a long time. Beach Babe is a nice neutral rose bronze. It's a great addition to my collection. I seem to be reaching for my Zelens Hydro-Shiso Moisturizer a lot this last week. It been kind of a project empties for me. Meaning It's almost empty so I use it a lot to finish it up. Remember if I finish it that's a good thing, means it was good enough to empty. Plus this is tube three for me. I love its glossy medium weight almost gel-cream texture. Review HERE.
Naturallogic launches its LUNA mask every year around now. I'm not a huge wash off mask fan but LUNA has fermented red wine, clay, cacao, honey, shea nut butter, strawberry juice, rosehip extract with cranberry, macadamia & raspberry oils. Throw in a little vanilla and jasmine absolute for a truly decadent experience. It should be launching again soon. Review HERE. SUQQU just launched a new Vibrant Rich Lipstick. It's a weightless comfort matte lipstick in a slim luxury tube. I love the brand and I really love this matte they came out with. It's truly one of their better lipstick formulations plus it's super pigmented and rich. I grabbed new limited shade Tubomikou 107 which is a nude tea pink. It was part of the spring summer collection and sold out already. The formula is fabulous if you can find a color you like.
I recently decided I like Skinbetter Science Sunbetter Tone Smart SPF 68 Compact as a primer in addition to being a good touch up sunscreen during the day. This is a mineral sunscreen compact. It's tinted in a neutral tone which suits me so well. I have been using it as a touch up sunscreen during the day. The compact makes it super portable and easy for this purpose. It also goes over makeup really well. I tried this as a primer and it's really nice for that too. It has a slight pore blurring effect from the silicones but it doesn't have a heavy silicone feel on the skin. The mineral filters (zinc) always give me a more matte and oil absorbing finish during the day so that helps it's primer abilities. I've been wearing the Cle de Peau Radiant Cream to Powder Foundation over this and they make a really nice combo. Pores are blurred, coverage is light to medium and just enough to give a nice semi-matte finish. Review HERE.
