Glossier's Milky Oil

When I saw that Glossier launched a micellar water/oil makeup remover I knew I had to try it.  Their Milky Oil is a waterproof makeup remover with a light formula which promises to remove makeup easily without a lot of tugging and fuss. It is hypoallergenic, safe for sensitive eyes, safe for lips, vegan, cruelty and gluten free. Also of course Glossier did not fail to deliver the cutest bottle ever for makeup removal!

I have been using this makeup remover for about 2 weeks now and have been enjoying it for double cleansing. I have tried using it with cotton pads, but definitely prefer pouring the product directly into hands and rubbing my face clean. I think it does do its job of removing makeup while still being gentle and non irritating. 

Similar to Bioderma's micellar water, I do follow up with a second cleanser (like milky jelly) for a proper skin cleanse since it does leave my skin feeling a little residue-y. 

Overall, I am so far happy with Milky Oil since it does preform well. I will definitely continue using it for removing my makeup since it is easy to use and requires little effort on my part! ♡

Ere Perez Oat Milk Foundation

I have recently been more conscious on what I have been putting on my face and Ere Perez Cosmetics is a natural makeup company which is free from a lot of harmful ingredients found in makeup. It is an Australian brand founded by Ere Perez and their products are all natural and range from makeup, skincare, nail polish, and even tools! 

Their Oat Milk Foundation comes in 6 shades (I have the shade latte) and contains different ingredients like oat milk, peach and vitamin e oil which are all beneficial to the skin. This foundation is targeted to all skin types including sensitive skin which my sensitive cheeks are thankful for! I am really enjoying the finish of this foundation because it is not sticky but does not leave the skin dry. It does really illuminate my skin and makes it appear glowy and healthy. The foundation does not feel heavy and I have been blending it just using my fingers. Even though it is not heavy it covers up my redness and small blemishes.  

Overall I have found this foundation to last throughout the day due to its natural and non sticky finish. It has played nicely with my skin and makeup and has not broken me out. This will now be my go to foundation whenever I want a little more extra coverage. I am happy to have discovered Ere Perez Cosmetics and their beautiful natural makeup and chic packaging!

RMS Lip2Cheek

RMS Beauty has been talked about a lot on my blog since it is one of my favorite makeup brands. It is a brand that combines both high quality makeup along with clean beauty. Their lip2cheek is a cream product which is both a blush and a lipstick in one cute pot.  This product comes in a variety of colors and is certified organic. Their lip2cheek is one of my favorite makeup products since it easy to apply and has a long staying time.

I purchased the shades "diabolique" and "modest." Diabolique is a deep berry shade which can be applied sheer and can be built up. I adore this color because it gives my lips a bitten and stained look which makes my makeup look more lived in. I think this color is beautiful on the lips and on the cheeks as well. This color works for a lot of makeup looks and it is really versatile. 

The other shade I purchased is modest. Modest is a pretty pink with brown color and can be used for a more natural look. I really love putting this color on my cheeks because it really gives them a pretty perky look.  

RMS's products are not cheap, but I think they are definitely worth the money because you do receive a lot of product and the quality is amazing. I find this product really convenient to use since you do not need any brushes or tools and can use just your fingers. This is the perfect blush/lipstick in one product and I recommend it to anyone looking for a quick lipstick and blush application!

Rouje Beauty Lip Palette Les 4 Rouje

When I heard the news that Jeanne Damas was launching a beauty line for Rouje I could not be more excited. I adore Jeanne Damas' makeup looks and her signature lip colors ranging from bright reds to dark plums. I was so excited to finally get my hands on the lipsticks that Jeanne wears and incorporate them into my everyday beauty routine.

Rouje launched Les 4 Rouje, as well as four other single lipsticks. The lipsticks range from reds, a pinky nude, a dark red and a plum color. The palette contains the same four shades of the lipsticks which I really enjoy because you get to try all of them.

I am really adoring the palette so far. The shades are pigmented and can be built up for beautiful bold lips, but they can also be blended in to make your lips seem more lived in and natural looking. I love the idea of this palette because it can be used on the lips, cheeks, and even eyelids. I have been tapping my fingers into the palette and blotting the color into my lips to give that bitten look. With the  left over color, I blend into my cheeks and eyelids like Jeanne Damas did in her Vogue Beauty Secrets video. The color stays on for a long time since I really blend it into my lips.

I believe these shades give the lips a nice tinted look which does not require a lot of touchups! 



                            (the shades blended)                                                  (bold swatches)

Overall, this is a lovely palette if you want to have that beautiful lived in lip look that Jeanne Damas does so well. I am looking forward to see if Rouje will add anything else to their beauty collection down the line. 

 Thank you! Merci! ♡

RMS Beauty Shimmer + Twilight Palette

I am a big fan of RMS Beauty and recently purchased this palette at Anthropologie. RMS Beauty's Shimmer + Twilight Palette includes their magic luminizer, their eye polish in Myth and finally their lip2cheek in Demure. This palette is small and ideal to use for everyday. I really love their magic luminizer because it is incredibly dewy and makes the skin come alive. The eye polish is really easy to apply and gives the eyelid a well lived look and keeps it glowy. Finally, their lip2cheek is a beautiful pale pink that looks lovely on the apples of the cheeks as well as the bridge of the nose. I really love this cute small palette and will be using it for everyday makeup!
