This breathable face base is wonderful for light coverage. It pairs perfectly with the hyaluronic acid-based priming jelly and applies in an even, non-streaky fashion. I like to apply at using my fingers mostly, and it lasts for eight hours, as promised. The vanilla nude shade runs quite yellow, but that does not bother me – I prefer a more yellow base anyway. I do like to set it with powder since my skin can get pretty oily throughout the day and it to has a tendency to move around if you don’t put some powder on top. Overall really happy and would recommend this for combo to dry skin as It is a great, moisturizing BB cream at the drugstore. -

The Aqualia Thermal Rehydrating Water Gel is awesome for summer since most oily moisturizers run the risk of leaving me with clogged pores when it's hot out. I also believe that it's a smart decision to use the same brand for your serum and moisturizer, to ensure they'll layer and compliment each other nicely. This gel cream leaves my skin plumped and glowing, immediately. I'll use it alone in the morning too, it sits great under makeup. -

Vichy’s Aqualia Thermal Light Cream is definitely a true light-cream, so it’s good for those in-between temperatures. I adore how much hyaluronic acid is inside, because it works so well under makeup – oils are hard to layer under foundation, so I like this style of moisturizer for morning. It leaves an even dewier finish with Mineral 89 applied underneath, and putting this moisturizer on while the serum is still wet. I will likely need a bit “more” for my dry patches in the winter, and layering serum under will be a must. There is a very light fragrance, but it is subtle and comforting – just like most French skincare. -

I love this mascara, I think that it is really good option from the drugstore. It layers well over my L’Oréal lash primer, and it doesn’t flake or smudge on me. Packaging is fun and you can twist the wand to make it either longer (straight bristles) or shorter (twisted bristles). The colour is so dark black and pigmented. Definitely worth a shot! -
Joico Hair Shake Liquid-to-Powder Texturizing Finisher

This hair product proves that a little goes a long way, especially for high quality texturizers like this. I use this after flat iron curling my short bob hair style, and I’ll shake and spray this product through my hair for some really natural, high volume texture that lasts. It’s easy to pack away in your handbag for touch ups and I love that it isn’t a drying aerosol format like most dry shampoo/texturizers. It’s fab! -
Garnier BB Cream 5-in-1 Miracle Skin Perfector (Normal to Dry Skin)

Ok I can’t think of a better Summer face product. I am loving my bb cream and I can’t believe it has been at least 5 years since my last tube. This is a thick and pigmented cream face base that blends in flawlessly with a bit of a summer tan. I usually tan from a tube, not the sun. I think light-medium would be a touch too dark in the winter, but it’s perfect for right now. Unlike with foundation, this product is emollient and never clings to my dry areas. It works wonderfully throughout the day and doesn’t fall of my face. I like to set it with powder for a long lasting finish, the Laura Mercier mineral powder is my go-to right now because it adds a touch of coverage and luminosity. Fabulous -

This seems like a really natural product. The raspberry extract makes this stain so delicious and pleasant to apply. The colour it leaves on your lips is beyond fresh and summery. I have the pink rose shade and it just screams spring/summer! I enjoy the brush applicator and sleek packaging. The shades available are also quite diverse. -

COLAB dry shampoo is outstanding. And I'm not the only one who feels this way: my friend Sara has gorgeous thick dark hair, and is a diehard COLAB fan as well. It's great to know that us gals with thin, lifeless hair can enjoy COLAB just as much as those with thick and voluminous hair. I wash at least every 2nd day, but Sara's hair lasts 3-5 days between washing so she relies on COLAB a lot to keep her scalp feeling fresh.
The COLAB original version dispenses touchable, soft and invisible powder that soaks up oil and breathes new life into second-day hair. For me, original usually isn’t enough to give me long-lasting volume, so I always layer in some Volume Extreme to the upper portions of my scalp (not near the ears or neck). This adds some serious texture and helps my hair from getting too limp. Love the combo of the two formulas.

This body lotion has a very unique finish on the skin. It is super smooth and almost like a silicone face primer! It feels rich in water while your rubbing it in, and it spreads out very fine. I do like how it hydrates my skin and the light fragrance is good. For the fact that it almost leaves a slippery/synthetic feeling (definitely not oily) it isn’t a 5/5 for me. Very nice, but I do prefer a traditional body butter for a more natural finish. -
