Makeup Review

Innisfree Long Wear Cushion Foundation

Innisfree is a Korean makeup brand and I love their makeup because they are very high quality and affordable. I recently bought the Long Wear Cushion from this brand and it has been one of my favorites. Cushion foundation is a very popular thing in Korea but not that popular in America. Cushion foundation was introduced to me early this year and I have always been interested in trying it. The idea of the product is that foundation is soaked inside a spongey type of thing and is placed in a compact. A puff is also given to you along with the product to apply it to your face. So about a month ago, I purchased Innisfree's cushion foundation and I am definitely a huge fan of it! I actually prefer this over liquid foundation because it is super easy to apply and it gives your face a matte finish. In addition, it is very natural and not too heavy on the face. This product was only around $15 and I recommend it to everyone who just needs a light foundation!

Pros: 

• Not too heavy on the face
• Covers up redness
• Affordable 
• Very compact and travel friendly
• Matte finish
• Easy to use

Cons:

• Doesn't last very long (maybe around 5 hours)
• Only 3 shades are available
• Does not cover up acne hyper pigmentations

Beauty Essentials

Winter Beauty Essentials

Moisturizer

Moisturizers are extremely important during this Winter season. It will keep your skin hydrated in the dry weather which will avoid dry patches on your face. If you wear makeup be sure to use moisturizer as a base. This is a must for me and it keeps my face hydrated throughout the whole day.

I recommend:

First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream $16.00 at Sephora

Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream Intense Hydration $27 at Barney's New York

Lip Balms

Because the season is so dry, lip balms will keep your lips moisturized. I recommend tinted lip balms because it will add a hint of color to your lips. My favorite tinted lip balm is Maybelline's Baby Lips because it keeps my lips moisturized while giving it a sheer color. 

I recommend:

Smith's Rosebud Salve $6.00 at Sephora




Maybelline Baby Lips Dr. Rescue (Medicated Lip Balm) $2.99 at Target

Facial Mists

Facial mists will give you a quick spritz to quickly moisturize your skin and make it look brighter and hydrated. Some facial sprays are have mineral-rich water which will do good for your skin. My personal favorite is the Evian facial mist.

I recommend:

Caudalie Grape Water Mist $10 at Sephora

Evian Facial Spray $17 at Ulta

Denim Skirts

Styles from the past are making their way back to our current styles, like denim skirts. They can be worn casually or even for a semi-casual event. If it is too cold to wear them during the Fall season, you can easily wear some tights under them. Denim skirts are typically worn this season, with tights and combat boots. I would definitely wear this type of skirt and is perfect for my own style.
