Hi guys! Its been a while. I would love to introduce you to some products that I’ve been loving throughout this month.

I never bother to use face primers before foundation because honestly, I don’t see a big difference. However, I’ve been using the “No Poreblem Primer” from Touch In Sol and it makes a major difference on my face and I LOVE IT!!! I love how it evens out my skin texture, minimize the appearance of my pores and it’s very comfortable on the skin. I would totally recommend trying it out. You can find it in the Sephora web site and it retails for $18,00.

Another product I’ve been enjoying is the “Tarteist Shimmering Lip Paint” from Tarte in the shade strike gold. Its basically a sheer lip gloss packed with tiny particles of gold glitter and iridescent shimmer. It last for at least 4 hours (I think that’s pretty good for a lip gloss) and it’s very comfortable, you don’t even realize you’re wearing any lipgloss. There are two other shades, insta- famous and flaming hot. It retails for $20,00 in the Tarte web site.

Finally, the last product that I’ve been loving recently is the “Perfector Face Palette” from CoverFX. It’s a tiny palette so it’s perfect for a trip or to carry on your purse. The brightener is a life changer for people that want a subtle highlighter for day time. There’s also 2 blinding highlighters for people that really like that type of look. The blush and the contour are good products and I like using them. The only problem I see with the palette is the finishing powder, just because it has little specks of glitter and I don’t really like to have a shimmery face. Besides this point, I think this product is a great one!! It retails for $45,00 in the CoverFX web site.

Those are my favorite products of this month. Let me know that you think of them or if you’ve tried them!

Sending lots of love.
