The first one is Garnier's BB cream. For those of you are unaware of this new phenomenon, it is the break-through product of the year. It is basically a tinted moisturizer on drugs! :-) It has all kinds of added benefits as well as it moisturizes really well.
I have had some really bad acne issues in the past and now I have some acne scars. I used to have to cover them with concealers and heavy foundations. But with BB cream, I don't feel like I have to use to many different products to cover blemishes and scars. It has become a staple in my everyday make-up routine. Love it!!!
The second product is not really a product. It is more of a colour! I feel in love with all things CORAL this summer. You may have noticed this colour everywhere, in shoes, purses, jewellery and make-up as well. I chose to go the make-up route to experiment a little and also to add some colour punch to make make -up drawer. I ended up at the MAC counter, as that is usually my go-to place when I want to add some colour to my face.
I ended up getting "Peachkeen" in blush and "Ravishing" in Creamsheen lipstick. Love them both!! I love how they are both fairly sheer and I can add some more colour to give it a more heavy look.
They say coral is a universally flattering colour so I would definitely recommend it.
On a side note, I also recommend "Gouda Gouda Two Shoes" from OPI, if you are wanting to try out the coral colour.

| Not my nails in case you were wondering |
Speaking of OPI, summer is always such a great time to shoes off those toes in your sandals and peep-toes shoes. Over the years I have collected so many OPI nail polishes that I absolutely adore. My most favourite has to be "Malaga Wine" which is a deep red and a good classic to fall back on when in doubt. Again, it is a great way for me to experiment with different colours.
The last product I want to recommend is actually a cheat! I have recommended this before but I want to just emphasize again how great it is. I ran out during my trip and it was the one thing I missed the most when doing my daily moisturizing. It is No.7 Beauty Serum. No.7 is a brand out of the UK and available there at Boots.
Beauty serums are like a booster for whatever you put on afterwards. So if you put the serum first and then some moisturizer, the serum will make the moisturizer even more effective and you thereby use less product and get more bang for your buck, while looking fantastic...:-)
You may have to go hunting for it. In Canada, it is available at most Shoppers Drug Mart,
My last recommendation is a complete indulgence. I got mine as a gift from a friend and I would recommend you doing the same for a friend who is desperate need for a treat.
It is Victoria Secrets creams and lotions!! They are rich and so fragrant and such a treat every now and again. Normally, I am not too keen on anything that is so fragrant and strong. But on days that have been long and end with a nice warm bath, it is nice to indulge in something thick and creamy and relaxing.
That's it for now folks!! I would love to hear about your new discoveries over the summer. Or some even that we should be staying away from??
Until next time!!
