In honor of the Nordstrom Beauty event, I wanted to share my picks for the Spring Beauty Edit 2018. I will be honest with you I can't keep up with all the latest trends, but for spring and summer, I think a fresh, dewy base and a bright glossy lips are a match made in heaven. I must warn you I got way too excited and I ended up picking out a lot of products. I think it's good to have options, and since I'm focusing on skin and lips I'm including foundations, blush, bronzers, and a lot of pretty lipsticks. 
So, let's begin! 

Spring Beauty Edit 2018
Spring Beauty Edit


First up are the base products I always start with prepping my skin with a hydrating serum and a moisturizer with an SPF 30 followed by a primer. The one I'm loving right now is the Makeup forever HD Serum Booster, its lightweight, hydrating, and it smooths out the appearance of fine lines.
Here are my top three foundation picks:
  • Hourglass Vanish Seamless Finish Foundation Stick $46 - lately, this has been my go-to foundation. It's very creamy, long-wearing, blendable and it has a full coverage finish. I love that I can use this as a concealer, I've also worn this foundation all throughout the year, and I didn't experience any caking or creasing. It covers redness, blemishes like a dream, and a little goes a long way with this foundation. This is one of my tried and tested foundation and I always get compliments when I wear this foundation.
  • Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation $64 this is a new discovery, but it quickly became one of my favorite due to the lightweight, buildable coverage finish. Luminous Silk foundation has an oil-free formula with a silky texture, and a satin finish. It doesn't cling to any dry patches or emphasize the texture on my skin. You can sheer out the coverage by adding a drop of facial oil or moisturizer of your choice, and to build up the coverage use a beauty blender for an opaque finish. The shade range is a bit of an issue, there are not enough shades with a yellow undertone. I picked up the shade #8 which is the closest match for me. 
  • Mac Cosmetics Face and Body Foundation $30- this foundation doesn't need a formal introduction its loved by many, and it is one of my favorite foundation of all time. This is a lightweight, long-wearing, light to medium coverage foundation with a natural skin-like finish. I have developed broken capillaries over the past few years (due to the lack of sun protection I bet that will teach me) this foundation does a decent job at covering up all my imperfections. If you have severe acne spots or hyperpigmentation you'll definitely need to spot conceal. Face and Body has a runny texture, so I like to use my fingers to apply this foundation. This foundation doesn't settle into any fine lines, clog my pores or cling to dry patches, it provides a smooth, even finish. I've been using this foundation since I was 18, and I will continue to use it as long as it works for me. This is also a staple in many makeup artists kits cause of the natural finish and it photographs really well.

Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder review
Spring Beauty Edit

Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder $38 has been a staple in my makeup routine for many years. I like to set my concealer with this powder, and I also like to lightly dust this on my t-zone. In order to obtain a luminous glow, I have to be very light hand with the application so, I use as little powder as possible. If you have very oily t-zone, I would recommend the Lancome Dual Finish Multi-Tasking Powder $40 it has a wide shade range to choose from, and it's a medium to full coverage finish powder that does a great job at keeping the oil at bay.

As I have mentioned earlier, I clearly got a bit carried away. Honestly, I can't contain myself when it comes to highlighters and lipsticks. I mean you should take a peek in makeup bag who needs to carry 7+ lipsticks? I do! 

I picked out a few of my favorites cheek products in both powder and cream formula. I recently started using cream products I don't know why I waited so long to try them. It really goes hand in hand with the radiant glowy look. 

First up are the powder bronzer, highlighters, and blush. 

  • Hourglass Cosmetics Ambient Lighting Bronzer* $50- this bronzer gives me the ultimate sun-kissed glow! It has a soft texture that blends effortlessly, and it doesn't leave my skin looking orange.  
  • Tom Ford Skin Illuminating Powder Duo $82- a highlighting duo that can be applied individually or layered together for a multidimensional glow. I love Tom Ford highlighters cause they're very subtle and wearable. I use this duo mostly for my daytime looks cause it gives a natural glow without the chunky glitters. 
  • Nars Dual-Intensity Blush $ 45- Nars Dual-Intensity blush palette (review here) is one of my most used blush palettes. If you didn't get the chance to purchase the palette fear not cause it also comes in duos, and there are a few shades to choose from. These blushes can be used wet or dry depending on the intensity you're going for. I personally prefer using them dry since it's highly pigmented I don't feel the need to use them wet. Dual-Intensity blushes are very long wearing, and it has a satin finish. 
  • Laura Mercier Face Illuminator $44- Indiscretion, is a perfect everyday highlighter it has buttery a texture, and it's a beautiful rose gold shade. This highlighter can be used wet or dry and I prefer it dry to avoid the intense metallic highlighter look. However, I do like to use this wet when I use it as a brow bone highlighter.  This is quite subtle but it adds just the right amount of glow. 
  • Mac Extra Dimension Skinfinish $34 Whisper of Gilt is probably one of Mac's bestselling highlighter, and it has now joined the permanent line. This highlighter is quite the opposite of subtle it's an intense, highly pigmented, champagne gold highlighter. I like to use this mostly during night time looks it has a cool liquid-powder texture, and I think this is a great option for anyone who loves an opaque finish highlighter. 
  • Cle De Peau Beaute Luminizing Face Enhancer $95 a beautiful highlighter that's subtle with a hint of shimmer. Don't be afraid of the shimmer cause its an overspray. Once you get rid of that layer of shimmer you're left with a luxuriously soft, silky, and lustrous finish highlighter. 

  • Wander Beauty On-the-Glow Bronzer & Illuminator* $45- a cream-to-powder formula that delivers a natural, pure matte, sun-kissed hue to the cheeks and face, while the illuminator imparts a subtle healthy glow and adds dimension to the face and body. Infused with a proprietary blend of HD pigments, vitamins, and hydrating ingredients, the buildable formula glides beautifully onto the skin, flattering all complexions. This is one of the creamiest bronzers I've used thus far. I also love that it comes with a highlighter so it's very travel-friendly. I have a detailed review with swatches here
  • By Terry Glow-Expert* $48- a two-in-one product which you can use to highlight and contour and it also has a brush on the other end. It has a creamy formula with a pearl finish, and it glides on the skin like butter. I have the shade Amber Light, I like to mix both shades to warm up my skin. The formula is incredible and I love how this stick duo looks on the skin it provides the prettiest glossy finish. 
  • YSL Touche Eclat Glow Shot Liquid Highlighter* $42 a liquid highlighter that brightens your complexion that gives your skin a radiant, dewy glow. I have the shade 2 Sunrise it's a beautiful pink opalescent shadeThis is a bit sheer so you can mix this with your foundation for a luminescent glow. 
  • Hourglass Vanish Flash Highlighting Stick $42 a highly pigmented, long-wearing, an innovative formula that adjusts to your body temperature to blend effortlessly into the skin. It’s also formulated with hollow microspheres for a weightless feel on the skin. It blends into the skin without any streaks with a high shine and metallic finish. 
  • Wander Beauty On-the-Glow Blush & Illuminator* $42- this is just as good as the bronzer duo the formula is very creamy, easy to blend, and the pigmentation is incredible. I also have a detailed review and swatches of this duo here

I love peachy, coral lipsticks as you can tell I feel like its the perfect shade for spring and summer. I don't wear a lot of bold, colorful lipsticks, but when I do it's usually a bright orange or a coral shade. 

  • Tom Ford Sheer Lip Color $54- a lustrous sheen of color that complements sun-kissed, summer skin.  I have four Lip Color Sheers, and I really like the texture of these lipsticks it has a comfortable wear that provides a layer of hydration to the lips.
  • Chantecaille Lip Chic* $38- Hyacinth is a pinkish coral shade with a satin finish. I absolutely love the lip chic formula it has a sheer coverage with a very pretty glossy finish. I recently reviewed the Chantecaille spring collection here which includes this lipstick.
  • Nars Velvet Lip Glide $26- Bound is a lovely rosy pink shade. These lip glides are highly pigmented, it goes on like a gloss, but sets like a lipstick. I also have a full review of the Nars Velvet Lip Glides here
  • Giorgio Armani Lip Magnet Liquid Lipsticks* $38- I have two shades 400 and 505 both are very pretty and fun bright colors. The creamy consistency glides on the lips smoothly, it has a non-drying formula, and it lasts for 3-4 hours before it starts to fade. I love the shade 400 it is a bright warm red, and I think it will suit most skin tones. 
  • YSL Volupté Liquid Balm $32- I'm a huge fan of YSL lip products so I had to try their newest launch, Volupte liquid Balm. A medium-coverage, high-shine liquid lip color that deeply moisturizes and protects lips like a balm. I picked up the shade in N12 Chase Me Nude it's a peachy nude. The formula is superb, and although, it's a lip balm it's still nicely saturated. 
  • Lancome L'Absolu Rouge Hydrating Shaping Lip Color $32- 172 Impatiente, a stunning orange-red. The formula is infused with moisture-boosting Pro-Bylane, it gives your lips a high color payoff without drying out your lips. I love using this lipstick during spring/summer it really brightens up my complexion, and the formula is quite hydrating which is always a plus. 
  • Hourglass Confession Ultra Slim High-Intensity Refillable Lipstick $34- by now you can see a pattern of glossy, satin finish lipsticks. Well, this one fits right in with the rest of the lipsticks. This is a long-wearing, highly saturated lipstick with a satin finish. I accumulated a few shades of the Confession Ultra Slim lipsticks, but my favorite is I've Never_ which is a nude rose. I really like this shade of nude it's perfect for medium to tan skin tone, and it won't give you that washed out look. 
  • Chanel Rouge Coco Shine $37- this is probably my most used Chanel lipstick. I always keep this in my makeup bag for a quick touch up. Etourdie is a shimmering rosy pink shade with a sheer coverage that provides long-lasting hydration with a water-light texture. It glides on the lips easily, and it has a very pretty glossy finish. 
  • Urban Decay Hi-Fi Shine Ultra Cushion Lipgloss* $20- this was launched recently, and I've reviewed all the shades here. Urban Decay did a great job with the shade range my favorites are Backtalk and Snitch. It's formulated with vitamin E and peppermint oil, a hydrating formula that leaves lips feeling nourished with an immediate plumping effect and it has a yummy vanilla-mint flavor. 
  • Clarins Instant Light Lip Comfort Oil* $26- I wouldn't put this in the lipstick category since it's more of a clear oil/gloss that keeps your lips hydrated throughout the day. I like to use this lip oil as a lipstick topper especially with a matte lipstick cause it provides a glossy, plumping effect to the lips.

Gucci Dionysus GG Supreme Mini Bag Review

Today I will be sharing what's in my Gucci Dionysus GG Supreme Mini Bag and how I pack the essentials. I remember the very first bag that my dad bought me when I was 12 years old, it was a mini backpack, and even back then I knew I love mini bags. Many years later, not much has changed whenever I spot a new bag I always go for the size-mini and the crossbody option is an added bonus. I do have a few large totes, which I mostly reach for when I travel but on a daily basis, I prefer the minis. I love having my hands free specially after I had my daughter. I purchased the Gucci Dionysus bag about 1.5 years ago and I haven't stopped using it ever since! 

Gucci Dionysus GG Supreme Mini Bag is a structured bag, it has a Beige/ebony GG supreme canvas with taupe suede trim and a textured tiger head spur closure. There is a pocket under the flap it's not that spacious but I can keep some cards or cash. The antique silver-toned chain strap can be worn in multiple ways, it can be worn on the shoulder with 15.5'' drop or it can be worn as a top handle with 9'' drop. It's 7.5'' in width x 6'' in height and 2'' depth. This bag has hand stitched details and hand-painted edges. 

Gucci Dionysus GG Supreme Mini Bag Review

At first, I wasn't sure about the monogram canvas but once I've seen the bag in person I quickly fell in love with it. The canvas is only on the exterior and the interior is fully lined with the suede fabric which you can see peeking through the flap and on each side of the bag. I love the suede trimming and the neutral earthy tones make this bag very easy to style. The snap closure is another thing I like about this bag it's nicely secured and it's very easy to open and close. The chain straps can be a little heavy but since the bag is very small and you can only pack a few things it never gets uncomfortable. The grainy texture of the canvas makes this bag very durable. It's scratch resistant and you don't have to worry about color transfer, I've worn this bag during rainy, snowy days and it still looks brand new! 

I'm 5' 3 and when I use it as a crossbody it stops right below my stomach which is the perfect length for me. Although it's a trendy bag and it might go out of style in the future but I can still see myself continue to use and love this bag. Gucci Dionysus GG Supreme comes in a few other colors and sizes. 

Keep scrolling for close up shots of the bag, how I styled the bag and what fits inside the bag.

Gucci Dionysus GG Supreme Mini Bag Review

As you can see, it's very compact so I just have to be strategic about how I pack the bag so that way I can close it without any issue. The only thing is when the bag is open and if you place it down the weight from the snap closure can lean forward and tip the bag over. 

I never carried a full sized wallet I just never felt the need to lug around a huge wallet. I prefer card cases I'm currently using the Chanel card case which is one of my favorite card cases. This card case has been in my collection for years now it's still in the pristine condition, it has 4 pockets if you count the front slot. I like to pack the makeup items in a Louis Vuitton Mini Pochette. My iPhone 7 fits easily in the bag but not when I have the card case and the mini pochette in the bag. I usually keep my phone in my hand or coat pocket so it's never been an issue. 

I always carry Lancome Dual Finish Powder compact and blotting sheets so I can touch up throughout the day, which is a must for me since I have very oily t-zone. I'm currently carrying the Fenty Beauty Blotting Paper and it's the cutest little thing ever! I've been loving these two new lip balms I've already reviewed the Kjaer Weis Lip Balm (here). Few other lippies in my bag are NYX Cosmetics Natural lip liner and Tom Ford First Time Lipstick- it's a peachy pink shade with a satin finish. Also in the bag, I have mini YSL Lip Tint Oil no. 5 and Cle De Peau Beaute Radiant Liquid Rouge in the shade 11. I always like to have a hand cream available cause I constantly wash my hands, the one I'm using now is a mini L'occitane Cherry Blossom hand cream. I've recently discovered a new brand Phlur and I'm loving this scent called Hanami it has notes of white florals, fig, hazelnut, and sandalwood. 

What's in my makeup bag

That's a wrap for my very first What's In My Bag, I always get questions on how I pack my mini bags so I hope you enjoyed a peek into my Dionysus Mini. 

What's in your bag? & Which do you prefer- a mini or a large handbag?

CLE DE PEAU BEAUTÉ THE FOUNDATION BROAD SPECTRUM SPF 21 SUNSCREEN
Cle De Peau Beaute 
The Foundation
Broad Spectrum SPF 21 Sunscreen
27 ml for $250

Product Info
An ultra-luxurious, buildable sheer-to-medium coverage foundation that blurs imperfections leaving skin perfectly even-toned, luminous and cashmere to the touch. Developed from unprecedented skincare science, this lightweight foundation contains radiance-boosting exclusive Illuminating Complex EX which moisturizes, rejuvenates, retexturizes and visibly repairs environmental skin damage for smoothing radiant coverage.

CLE DE PEAU BEAUTÉ THE FOUNDATION BROAD SPECTRUM SPF 21 SUNSCREEN
Cle De Peau Beaute The Foundation

I'm finally back with the review of Cle De Peau Beaute The Foundation sounds fancy right? Well, it's definitely one of the most luxurious foundations in the market with a price tag of $250. The Foundation is housed in a sturdy lucite glass jar it also comes with a beautiful coaster that holds a little gold spatula. I think we can all agree the packaging is jaw-dropping but it is not the best travel-friendly packaging. I would have to scoop some out in a sample jar if I want to bring this along with me when I travel. There are 12 shades and I was matched with the shade O50 Deep Ochre, which is the second to last darkest shade and it's a pretty good match for me. I have swatches of all the shades here. The texture of the foundation is bouncy, feels like a gel/moisturizer, it blends into the skin seamlessly and it doesn't cling to any dry patches. The coverage is buildable but you can sheer it out by mixing the foundation with your moisturizer/primer or you can apply two layers for a full coverage finish. I was told it's best to apply this foundation with your fingers but I'm not a big fan of that so I just use my favorite Sigma Flat Top Kabuki brush to apply the product. The Foundation feels very light-weight, hydrating, comfortable on the skin and it has a semi-matte finish. I have combination oily skin so I like to prime my skin prior to applying any foundation. I wanted to maintain the same routine while testing out this product and I loved the healthy glow I achieved with The Foundation. I have pigmentation around my mouth, sun spots, large pores, and textured skin. The foundation covered my imperfections without settling into any fine lines. I did have to use a concealer under my eyes cause those bags and dark circles need extra coverage. My t-zone is extremely oily so I can never get away without setting my foundation. Once I set the foundation, I only have to touch up no more than once or twice throughout the day. I've been wearing this foundation nonstop it doesn't get cakey or oxidize and it lasts all day long!

CLE DE PEAU BEAUTÉ THE FOUNDATION BROAD SPECTRUM SPF 21 SUNSCREEN

I have primed my skin with a serum, moisturizer, sunscreen, Estee Lauder Priming Moisture Balm and Benefit Porefessional primer (only on my t-zone). 

CLE DE PEAU BEAUTÉ THE FOUNDATION BROAD SPECTRUM SPF 21 SUNSCREEN

I applied one layer of the foundation like I usually do and here's the finished result. As you can see It did a great job at covering up my pigmentation, sunspots and it evened out my skin tone. I used Wander Beauty Dual concealer (review here) and to set the concealer I used Laura Mercier Translucent powder. I set the foundation with Lancome Dual-Finish Powder (only on my t-zone), warmed up the skin with Givenchy Healthy Glow Bronzer (review here), on my cheeks I have on Kjaer Weis Sun Touched cream blush and for the highlighter, I used Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector in Opal.

I wanted to compare a few other foundation shades so you can get an idea. Although CDP O50 isn't very warm it's a great match for me during winter. I will probably have to switch to O60 during summer. My Mac shade reference is NC42 so if you're darker than NC42-44, unfortunately, you won't be able to find a match. The limited shade range is the only con I can think of other than the costly price tag. Hopefully, Cle De Peau will extend the shade range in the future that way everyone can enjoy this beautiful foundation.

Cle De Peau Beaute The Foundation

Final Verdict:
The brand claims this foundation has anti-aging properties which help "diminish the appearance of damage caused by dryness and bring visible improvement to skin". I can't vouch for that but I do love the youthful, radiant glow it provides, I always wanted to obtain the perfect dewy base but having oily skin it was very hard to do so. With this foundation, I was able to attain that subtle glowy base like I've always wanted. So far, I've only tested this foundation during the cooler months and it has performed very well, however, I'm curious to see how it will hold up during summer. I think this will be great for all skin tones, it didn't clog my pores or cause any breakouts. I like so many things about this product I don't have to touch up much, it doesn't settle into my dreadful smile lines, the coverage and the finished result is impeccable.

Now it's time for the big question- Do I recommend this foundation? Absolutely! With that being said, I know this is way too expensive but if you're in the mood to treat yourself with one of the most luxurious beauty product ever, I say go for it! This little jar of the foundation will literally last you forever since a little goes a long with this product and I think this is one foundation I won't be hitting pan on anytime soon. So you're definitely getting your money's worth.

  • Hakuhodo J 4004 Brush- The only highlighter brush I've used all throughout last year and I will continue using it this year as well.
