The Foundation Duo I Can’t Live Without

 

So this little foundation duo is my go to since moving from Arizona. I moved back to California in may and since then my skin has been a hot mess. Nothing works the way it should anddddddd my favorite foundation for discontinued 😭. 

This foundation creates a clean canvas. It’s semi matte so it stays in place but is still extremely dewy. The two foundation I have been using are the YSL touch eclat 

And the neutragena foundation. The Neutragena foundation is extremely similar to the ysl which is why I paired them. The neutragana foundation gives this a little more dew since the ysl even though it’s a radiant foundation.... is extremely matte on its own. The liquid silk canvas by tatcha is also a dream with this little duo.  Outfits linked in the previous blog post.

This Weeks Looks Fendi, Savage X Fenty, Urban Outfitters, Tilleys, Natasha Denona Sunrise Palette

 Living for a fall look right now. It has been so FREAKING HOT in socal I was beginning to wonder if we would ever get cool weather. It's been somewhat cool this week so here are a few looks, some a little summer, some a little fall. It's been hot. Sorry not Sorry :). 

Onto some fun tings. I think Fenty might be my new Victoria Secret. Victoria Secret has not been an inclusive brand and Rihanna has worked extremely hard to create a line that represents all types of women. Watched the Savage Fashion Show on HBO and It was insane. If you haven't watched it you should. Outfits Linked Below.

If you keep up on the gram you know I have been getting Dermologica Facials for years now and using their products on the reg. That being said they loved me enough to send me out their new hydrating mask and a box of goodies that I am obsessed with. Below are the benefits of the mask and some photos. I love it. I will definitely be ordering this again. I’ve been using it for weeks now and it’s the perfect pick me up when I don’t have time to see an esthetician/can't because of COVID. 

This item was sent to me for review and all reviews are my own. Find the prodcut here at Sephora for more info.

No Heat HairStyles For Summer (Because It's Too Damn Hot For That).

            Find me on instagram @carleybe and my instagram peeps asked for a spotify playlist so I thought i'd add it for ya.  

 Since moving back to California my hair and skin have been on a really interesting journey. Arizona is the dryest place on the planet I freaking swear. After three years there, my body now thinks San Diego is the most humid place on earth, and my hair constantly just feels greesy. I had been considering some different products and EVA NYC sent me their texturizing Shampoo and Conditioner...

First. The ingrediants are amazing:

Hemp (Cannabis Sativa) Oil – hydrates & protects hair with fatty acids

       Sea Lavender Extract – powerful antioxidant that moisturizes and softens

The Brand states: 

"lazy jane air dry shampoo is a unique, texture-enhancing formula that helps add grip to roots for more lift & volume.

it brings out hair’s natural movement & texture, for easy-going, air-dried perfection. no heat-styling necessary!

hair is left texturized, full of body and thickened.

free of sulfates, parabens, phthalates, artificial coloring, mineral oil and gluten.  

cruelty free and vegan certified & non GMO."  - EVANYC

And let me just tell you it does all of the above. I have been sent many a hair product and these have been my favorite. Will be repurchasing. Right now they are buy one get one 50% off so I would suggest taking a look  :). Photos below of product. 

Summer Skin. The SKII Facial Treatment Essence Dupe

            Find me on instagram @carleybe and my instagram peeps asked for a spotify playlist so I thought i'd add it for ya.  

I have been using this essence from Primera and let me tell you about this bitch. She is making me glow like the goddess I was meant to be and I am living for her. Lets start with some product details, and then we can talk about why I love her. 

Product Details:

Skincare Concerns: Pores, Dryness, and Dullness and Uneven Texture

Formulation: Liquid

Highlighted Ingredients:
- Lotus Seeds: Helps increase hydration and help defend against environmental factors. 

What Else You Need to Know: This essence helps properly prep skin for better absorption of serums and creams and improves the appearance of texture, tone, and radiance.

I use this before a hylaronic acid or vitamin c product at night, and i feel like my skin is just clean and glowing. It's helped with my blackheads and I actually have another post coming shortly about some products I have been using to combat those too. This summer in San Diego has been amazing for my skin. The humidity here is insane compared to the wasteland desert that is Arizona. If you're from there sorry, but seriosuly the summer is hell. 

So last but not least. I have also tried another high end version of this fron SKII and if you're thinking this is a dupe.... you would be v correct. I have tried that one as well and they are extremely similar in results and the price for SKII is a bad B at $99 and Primera is $58.

This was a press sample. Per the usual all reviews are my own.
