Three must have beauty products this summer!


Garnier BB Cream & EOS Lip Balm #frontcamera #nofilter 
It’s no surprise that I love makeup, so I’m always out looking for new products to experiment with. Two of these three products were introduced to me by my girlfriend and the third one is just something that’s been trending a couple years now.

I came across the first product while at my girlfriends’ house, as y’all may know I’ve been doing the hair extensions thing a few months now. I love my extensions light weight & ‘flowy’ so I avoided putting oil based products in it, until I discovered KERATIN, Brazillian Tech by one ‘n only. I got it at pennywise & it was only $36.95. A coin size amount in the palm of your hands, rub it together & evenly distribute it through the hair and I instantly fell in love. It’s a treatment with pequi oil for straightened, permed or colour-treated hair so of course it can be used on your natural hair too. This literally gives my extensions life. I use it once every couple of days to avoid over use which will weigh down the hair.

This second product was introduced to me again by my girlfriend. When she told me about it, I was sold, I had to try it. Garnier BB Cream, Skin Renew, Miracle Skin Perfector. It’s basically a sunscreen that helps even out your skin tone when applied. I can speak for myself when I honestly say I don’t really use sunscreen although I live in the tropics, which is not so great. But this BB Cream changes that, I use it below my foundation during the day especially and I use it as a light weight foundation when I’m pressed for time or I don’t really feel like wearing too much make-up. When I say as a foundation I just mean I apply it to my bare face & then wear face powder over it. It instantly brightens, corrects blemishes, moisturizes and protects from UV.  It has great coverage and blends like a dream and feels light on the skin yet my skin looks flawless! My face looks like it's glowing yet still natural. I got this HOLY GRAIL at pennywise for about $118.00 if I remember correctly it’s a bit steep but it’s worth it.

The last product has been in my make-up bag from inception but it’s in the frontline these days. EYELINER – liquid or gel. Winged liner & bold lips is the look of the summer so having a good, water proof, long lasting liquid or gel liner is a must. A good one to own would definitely be the L’oreal Lineur Intense in black noir, I picked this baby up at pennywise too & I think it was somewhere between $50.00 to $60.00 but also worth it. It’s all day wear up to 8 hours, water-resistant, smudge-proof, fragrance free, ophthalmologist tested, suitable for sensitive eyes & contact lens wearers and has the sleekest brush that gives you the perfect winged or cat eye.

Mini make-up haul

Small make-up haul  Hey everyone! I've just started gathering products for my make-up kit and I went out on Saturday and picked up these little beauties *love struck smiley*. I got a chance to use everything so far so I just want to share with y'all my views. The L'oreal true match foundation in W6... umm not my favourite, it's a bit light for me which is weird since the W6 powder matches harmoniously to my skin. I'm hoping it's the tan I got from the beach last week and being out all day Saturday, will definitely give it another chance. Other than it not matching my skin tone it's perfect, it goes on smooth (with the correct brush of course, I used the MAC 188 foundation brush), it's lightweight, gives medium to full coverage and gives a nice 'glowy' finish. I love this foundation, I usually use MAC studio fix fluid but this is a nice cheaper alternative for everyday use. Milani Illuminating face powder in Hermosa Rose.. I cannot get en...

Simple Glam (Night out with the girls)

 Hey everyone, club season is back and in full swing in Trinidad and as opposed to carnival the fashion for ‘clubbing season’ as it’s fondly called is two very different things. Let me explain, carnival has a more casual fashion outlook mainly because most of the events are outdoor, the capacity of patrons at one event also the nature of a fete (live performances etc). Club fashion has more of a glamorous outlook because of its indoor nature consisting of ‘little black dresses’, skirts, blazers etc. My first after carnival outfit was this black and white, close-fitting, above mid-knee length, armhole, cotton dress. I immediately fell in love with it because I can dress it up or down. I like unique pieces but I absolutely love clothes that I can dress up or down. I paired it with black pumps (sorry I didn’t get a shot of them). I wore a pair of mid-size silver hoops, a silver ring, white & silver MK watch and a black clutch with silver lining. When going for a glam loo...
