I have been watching the Oscars, and all of the ladies look gorgeous! It is important to choose great skincare, makeup, nail care and fragrances to pull of glam – and everyday – looks.
This week I am loving a fab skincare and foundation set, skincare for my nails and a fresh fragrance:
Glossier Phase 1 Set ($80 USD) — Glossier is resetting the beauty game, starting with the most important thing: a perfectly primed canvas. This is skincare as makeup—a mist, moisturizer, balm, and tint, designed to work together to perfect (not conceal!) skin while requiring minimal effort on your end. All you need are your fingertips.
Products included from left to right in photo (and my opinion of them) are:
Perfecting Skin Tint: This light foundation evens out discoloration and leaves your face looking toned, smooth, and dewy. The breathable, ultra thin formula auto-fits to skin, making application as simple as throwing on moisturizer. It is very sheer, like a liquid, but you can build it to a medium coverage. I like it, but it is a bit sheer for me (I need my coverage). I think it is perfect for those who want to showcase their good skin. Comes in three shades.
Balm Dotcom: A hydrating, long-lasting, do-everything skin salve that’s packed with antioxidants and natural emollients to nourish and repair dry, irritated skin. The dense, waxy texture stays in place to seal in moisture wherever it goes. I like to use this on my cuticles and as a lip and face balm when it is very cold out.
Soothing Face Mist: This spritz is made with roses and aloe to hydrate, soothe, and leave you feeling fresh and awake, prepping your skin for the Priming Moisturizer. Also excellent as a makeup refresher and midday pick-me-up. I love the sweet, floral scent and how refreshing it is. I loving using this facial spray before my moisturizer as it hydrates my skin.
Priming Moisturizer: This moisturizes, creates an even texture and helps with redness. This comforting cream allows you to layer and build up to the perfect amount of moisture depending on climate, season, or how your skin’s feeling on any given day. I like how moisturizing this is. It is more of a moisturizer than a primer, but it does help even out skin, getting it ready for foundation.

I have a sample of this in the Jasmine and Sparkling Mimosa scent. It is fresh and sweet, like juicy fruit — a perfect spring scent. And, it is light so you can spritz it on the body, or in your hair. Very nice and so affordable!
