Five Favorite Beauty Buys: July 2017

Illuminator: Marc Jacobs Dew drops coconut gel highlighter

When it comes to beauty, I am the pickiest once it comes to illuminators. I absolutely love this one from Marc Jacobs. For such a lightweight product, the pigment is beautiful and blends so easily. Smells lovely, and includes ingredients like coconut and Vitamin B5 so it really gives this healthy glow.

Available at Sephora

Palette: Nars Bord de Plage Palette

The palette of the Summer- which makes the perfect travel palette as well. Two bronzing shades (Laguna is one of them) which also makes for a contour powder as well as four illuminating shades – which you can intensify with water, but are also quite pigmented so I like layering on after a liquid.

Moisturizer: Glamglow Glowstarter 

I’m a sucker for anything that illuminates, so I really do love this range from Glamglow. Filled with ingredients like botanicals, hyaluronic acid, and vitamins – the moisturizer helps with hydrating the skin – as well as giving a little bit of a tint and radiance. Extra points for that bubblegum scent!

Mask: Dior Hydra life Glow better jelly mask 

Ever since discovering light peels, I’ve given up on face masks completely but I adore this one from Dior’s Hydra Life range. Incredibly light on the skin (it’s a water gel texture with apricot kernel extracts) – the product feels like an at-home peel – as well as gives a similar finish with an instant glow as soon as you remove. I wouldn’t leave it on for too long as the ingredients are quite active.

Lipliner: Kat Von D Everlasting lip liner

I rarely wear any lipsticks, and prefer to go for a hydrating matte lipliner instead. I was so excited to hear Kat Von D was launching her own range of lipliners – especially as her liquid lipsticks were the first ones I’ve ever tried. I love the fact that they’re hydrating, pigmented – yet come on evenly (this tends to be a problem with other pigmented lipliners). My favorite shades are Lovesick, Lolita, and Bow n Arrow.
