What I’m Keeping Close

What I’m Keeping Close - Soft Focus

Most of you know my skin situation from those years of steroids, nsaids, anti-depressants, and antihistamines for misdiagnosed autoimmune diseases.

So, for many years, I’ve been avoiding matte makeup.

My skin is already very dry, rashy, and flaky and matte makeup just makes it look even drier.

I’ve tried a few foundations and cushions, but they only end up cracked after a few hours.

And then my Beauty Ambassador EJ suggested the Dior Forever Nude Matte Filter.

I tried it and yes, I’m committed.

Not a crush.

Full-on long-term commitment with this one.

It does make my skin look matte but for some reason, it doesn’t look dry.

And the most important thing for me is my foundation doesn’t crack anymore!

That is already enough reason to be in a commitment with this product.

But it also smells nice and looks pretty!

And I only need a small amount, so this compact will last a long time.

I use a big brush to apply the product on my face a few minutes after the foundation has settled.

Just a simple step and my makeup stays put the whole day!

This is definitely a keeper!

After buying a lot of stuff on the first floor, we headed upstairs to eat a light lunch. Mom was getting hungry. My son and I just ate, but we said that we will accompany her and will just order something light.

All About Eyes

Lately I’m finding myself obsessed with skin care products, prevention in particular. I'm not getting younger and nobody likes lines and wrinkles, right? I should have done this in my early twenties but those were hard times and we didn’t have enough to support our daily lives, let alone vanity splurges. So now, I’m on hyper mode. I did not place any expectations on this product. I’ve had it with products claiming they can do this and that. I just tried the product thinking that if it works then great, if not then I’ll just find a new one. I wasn’t expecting a dramatic change but 2 weeks into using this product, I noticed that my under eye area has become lighter. The lines are also not as deep as they were before I used this product. I stopped using the Garnier eye products because I’m allergic to them so that means I’m not using any whitening products for that area. I am truly impressed with this product. I didn’t take a before and after photo as I wasn’t expecting this at ...

When You Need a Tiny Reset (Glow Cards Are Here)

The shade is actually a dusty mauve or muted orchid. It looks blue on the image, but it's not blue. There are days when I don’t need a full day off — I just need a moment. A tiny reset. A quiet pause in the swirl of noise. That’s how Glow Cards were born.
