Yes yes, I didn’t forget to update 😛
Lately I felt like totally changing up my makeup routine. Since I was on holidays I wasn’t in the mood for any heavy look. Since then I feel like this “new” routine has stuck to me, but it’s more like I’m addicted to the overall finished look. It has that matte but glowy summer look with a light sunkiss tan, not too over-done but excentuates my features!
I normally NEVER skip out on the foundation. If anything I wear liquid foundation every time I wear makeup. During my holdiays, I was not in the mood for heavy makeup at all. Before starting I obviously moisturized and put a primer.
I used the dual powder by Raffael Cosmetics in C4 – C5 (I normally use C2-C3). I always contour my face with mineralized skin finish by MAC in medium-dark. For blush my new favorite color is by Raffael Cosmetics in Joy #220 it’s a peachy-pink that has a light gold-ish shine to it (as shown in the picture below). It’s perfect for highlighting the cheeks or even alone as a blush and I mix in a touch of pink blush to give it a boost of color like Raffael Cosmetics in Playful #309 it’s a bit of dark pink so I use just a little.

As for eyes I’ve been keeping it simple with liquid liner and the mascara Pro from Raffael Cosmetics.
Lip liner I use Sienna by Raffael and lipstick I’m using either MAC – Angel or Raffael – Chouchou wichever I grab first (they’re both almost identical).

I recently went shoe shopping mania (obviously!) 😛 so I’m gonna take some pictures and post them up very soon 😉 Don’t forget I love shoes just as much as makeup!!!

Here we are again! Another month full of goodies!
I was once again impressed with this month’s glymm box. There was a variety of things to experiment with and looking forward to trying. I will be making a video or blog about some products I recently received in subscribed beauty boxes that I enjoyed and will consider buying.
So for this months Glymm box here’s what I received:

Since last month Glymm decided to go “green” (eco-friendly). I received all my samples in a cute royal blue satin makeup bag with the Glymm logo. Very interesting. I can re-use it or gift it along with other little beauty related things to complete it 😉

2 Acetone-free nail polish remover pads – La Fresh (already tried it, smells good and doesn’t dry out nails)

A duo lip stick/ Lip balm Harmony – Belvada in a peachy nude color

A smoothing marine cream – Clark’s & Botanicals (reduces fine lines, inflammation and redness)

Skin solution oil – Vitamine & Sea (fully natural, no fragrance, repairs damaged cells)

When you first open it up you think: Hey this is not a lot… But if you look at the price value of the actual full size procucts and the quality you are receiving, it’s well worth it.
I hoped you enjoyed. If you want to subscribe to Glymm box (12$/month) click on the side bar “Subscribe to Glymm box HERE” it’ll take you directly to the site.
