Creating a Super Dewy Fresh face with a hint of sun with products from STILA

I've been liking the fresh faced look lately, which is natural dewy skin with a hint of colour. I went searching for a tinted moisturizer with illuminating qualities. I found Stila Illuminating tinted moisturizer. I'm in shade #02.


This is a wonderful tinted moisturizer, it gives the face an overall understated glow. To demonstrate, here is a picture of me bare faced, with only some sunblock on my face:

1. Take a dime sized Illuminating tinted moisturizer:

2. Here's a pic of my face after the moisturizer under the same lighting, you will see how this tinted moisturizer gives you a overall brightening effect and some coverage on the face:

3. Dust some translucent powder in the T zone

4. Apply some Bourjois Bronzing powder all over the face. Which is my current favorite bronzing powder. It is matte, light, honey coloured and smells like chocolate.

5. Apply Stila One Step Prime colour in Bronze Babeon the cheeks and lips.

6. lightly powder in brows with a your fav brow powder, I used Anastasia duo brow powder in Brunette.

7. Apply a shadow on the eyes that is one shade lighter than your skin colour, I used MAC blanc type.

8. Apply eyeliner. I used a eyeliner pen by Kat Von D called Tattoo Liner in the shade Trooper(black). This is a great eyeliner that is pigmented, easy to use and long lasting.

8. Apply your favorite mascara.

There's the finished face under the same lighting.

This is a super easy and quick look to do. Took me less than 10 mins, yet it is fresh and brightening.

I definitely think this tinted moisturizer is an great one.

Thanks for reading

LUSH - the lushlicious fresh handmade cosmetics

You can't miss Lush when you are walking pass it because of the gorgeous smell of their products. I've never tried anything from Lush before, lately I've taken a interest and watched a bunch of Youtube videos reviewing the products, i.e best of lush, top 5 from lush, must haves from lush. etc.

So, I've come up with a shopping list and went to get some goodies. I like Jasmine and Vanilla scents, so most of what I purchased are of those scents.

Lookie at what I got, yum lush stuff:




Bath Bombs - things that you can threw in your bath, it fizzs, changes the colour of your bath, adds a wonderful scent and some will moisturize your skin.

Space girl - the purple planet looking one
The comforter - the square pink and white one
Butter ball - the milky coloured egg shaped one
Sunny side - the golden glittery one

Soaps:
I got their best selling soap: Honey I washed the kids

Scrubs:
Ocean salt - one of most popular face and body scrubs.

Shower Gel:
Flying fox - strong Jasmine scent, a little bit lathers up to bubble heaven. Can be used as bath foam as well.

Buffy - coco and shea butter with aduki beans and scrubs your body as it moisturizes

Shower Jelly - jelly form of shower gel that you can store in the fridge for a cooling shower:

Sweetie pie- cherry and coconut infusions, great fun in the shower.

Puff powder

Vanilla: great to have after a workout in the gym to refresh and soak up the sweat. Also use in sneakers, shoes as foot powder or in hair as dry shampoo.

I also got some samples.



Big Shampoo - volumizing and clarifying shampoo for squeaky clean hair. Not to use everyday, everyday use can be drying.

MY FAVORITES FROM THIS PURCHASE THAT I'D BUY AGAIN:

Flying fox shower gel - it smells like I stepped into a beautiful Jasmine garden.
Buffy and king of skin body butter - I NEVER have to cream my body again after showering hahaha, leaves my skin smooth and soft.
Honey I washed the kids soap - smells wonderful and not drying on the skin.
Big shampoo - although not for everyday use, but it is great to deep clean your hair of built up hair products.
Ocean scrub: great to use once-twice a week for smooth skin all over.

That's it for now...
