Alright guys - #skincaresunday week 2 is all about the @MilkMakeup Watermelon Brightening Serum.โ €โ € โ €โ € ๐“Ÿ๐“ป๐“ฒ๐“ฌ๐“ฎโ € $36 is a great price for an introductory serum that will probably last six months or a year, even with daily use.โ €โ € โ € ๐“Ÿ๐“ช๐“ฌ๐“ด๐“ช๐“ฐ๐“ฒ๐“ท๐“ฐโ € Milk Makeup is known for their non-traditional packaging. All of their skincare is in TSA-friendly solid stick form which is not only tidy, but also super easy to use in a flash.โ € โ € ๐“˜๐“ท๐“ฐ๐“ป๐“ฎ๐“ญ๐“ฒ๐“ฎ๐“ท๐“ฝ๐“ผโ € This product uses Watermelon Fruit Extract to hydrate, Swiss Garden Cress Sprout Extract to brighten, and Matrixyl to support elasticity. Itโ€™s vegan and fragrance-freeโ €โ € โ €โ € Although this isnโ€™t a green beauty product because of a good amount of synthetic ingredients, the vast majority of ingredients do rank a 1 or 2 on EWG. Ingredients you may want to do your research on are rentinyl palmitate (ranks 9 on EWG but โ€œBestโ€ on Paulaโ€™s Choice) and Phenoxyethanol.โ €โ € โ € ๐“ฃ๐“ฎ๐”๐“ฝ๐“พ๐“ป๐“ฎโ € I was afraid this would be sticky and tacky but itโ€™s not at all. I do a few stripes on my cheeks, forehead, and around my nose and I pat in with my fingertips. It takes a moment, but it does sink it pretty quickly. My favorite thing about application however is the fact that itโ€™s super cooling. Not in a startling way, but in a relaxing way.โ €โ € โ € ๐“Ÿ๐“ฎ๐“ป๐“ฏ๐“ธ๐“ป๐“ถ๐“ช๐“ท๐“ฌ๐“ฎโ € I feel like I havenโ€™t had this long enough to really speak to itโ€™s ability to brighten my dark spots, but this truly adds hydration and plumping. I find that if I use both a hydrating toner and this product that I can skip moisturizer and head straight into sunscreen. Its not sticky at all, my face feels so smooth and hydrated with it on, and my complexion looks and feels overall energized when I use this in the morning.โ € โ €โ € ๐“•๐“ฒ๐“ท๐“ช๐“ต ๐“ฃ๐“ฑ๐“ธ๐“พ๐“ฐ๐“ฑ๐“ฝ๐“ผโ € If youโ€™re in the market for a serum, and you want to try something truly different, or if you travel a lot, then I definitely recommend this serum. โ €โ € โ €โ € Also pictured here is a sample of the @indie_lee Rosehip Cleanser (amazing), the @glossier Balm Dot Calm (amazing) and the @anastasiabeverlyhills tweezers (also amazing).โ €โ €

My new holy grail bronzer is the @ereperezcosmetics Rice Powder Bronzer in Tulum. I find that a lot of green beauty bronzers pull extremely red on me, but thatโ€™s not what Iโ€™m looking for. Sure, I want warmth, but a combination of browns, orange, and a subtle yet impactful sheen make this bronzer perfect for my caramel complexion. Below is my full review:โ €โ € โ €โ € ๐“Ÿ๐“ป๐“ฒ๐“ฌ๐“ฎโ €โ € $34 is certainly on the pricier side, but trust me, when you factor in the longevity, texture, ingredients, itโ€™s worth it.โ €โ € โ €โ € ๐“Ÿ๐“ช๐“ฌ๐“ด๐“ช๐“ฐ๐“ฒ๐“ท๐“ฐโ € Housed in a sleek white compact with a mirror, the packaging does a great job of mixing function with minimalist form.โ €โ € โ € ๐“ข๐“ฑ๐“ช๐“ญ๐“ฎ ๐“ข๐“ฎ๐“ต๐“ฎ๐“ฌ๐“ฝ๐“ฒ๐“ธ๐“ทโ € I have the shade Tulum which is a sheeny natural bronze shade. Thereโ€™s also Roma, which appears to be slightly deeper, more red, and matte. Both shades are split into two - a lighter and darker. I like to apply the darker on my contour areas and then the lighter all over the cheeks (including a light dusting over my cheekbones and nose).โ €โ € โ €โ € ๐“˜๐“ท๐“ฐ๐“ป๐“ฎ๐“ญ๐“ฒ๐“ฎ๐“ท๐“ฝ๐“ผโ €โ € Instead of potentially toxic absorbants like talc, this bronzer uses a base of rice and corn starches to deliver pigment made from mica and other natural minerals. All ingredients rank a 1 or a 2 on EWG and Ere Perez is known for their natural, safe ingredient lists. Also something to note - I didnโ€™t see any ingredients that are traditionally animal derived, but I also canโ€™t find information about whether this product is truly vegan. โ €โ € โ €โ € ๐“Ÿ๐“ฎ๐“ป๐“ฏ๐“ธ๐“ป๐“ถ๐“ช๐“ท๐“ฌ๐“ฎโ € Although it doesnโ€™t necessarily feel or look smooth in the pan, this bronzer is pigmented, blends literally perfectly, and looks and feels luxurious on the skin. The subtle sheen is unbeatable and the two tones allow you to tailer the dimension and glow to your face shape and taste. It also wears all day on me without becoming patchy.โ € โ € ๐“•๐“ฒ๐“ท๐“ช๐“ต ๐“ฃ๐“ฑ๐“ธ๐“พ๐“ฐ๐“ฑ๐“ฝ๐“ผโ € If I hadnโ€™t seen this bronzer in person at a store in Mexico City I would have never ordered it, or, I would have ordered the darker shade Roma. If you have medium to dark skin, even skin thatโ€™s a tad darker, this will be the perfect shade.โ € โ € โ €

Iโ€™m starting a new series on Instagram called Sunday Skincare. Although I have more fun taking pictures of and reviewing makeup, skincare is the foundation of any makeup look and I believe itโ€™s much more important to invest both your time and your money in skincare rather than makeup.โ € โ € To kick things off, Iโ€™m featuring the @YouthToThePeople Superberry Hydrate + Glow Oil, which is an antioxidant-packed quick-absorbing oil thatโ€™s supposed to help with dryness, dullness, never texture, and uneven skin tone.โ € โ € Below is my full review:โ € โ € ๐“Ÿ๐“ป๐“ฒ๐“ฌ๐“ฎโ € If you typically shop conventional drugstore skincare, $44 for one ounce of oil could seem steep. But when compared to other high-end oils and Sephora and natural beauty stores, this is quite affordable.โ € โ € ๐“Ÿ๐“ช๐“ฌ๐“ด๐“ช๐“ฐ๐“ฒ๐“ท๐“ฐโ € This oil comes in a frosted clear glass bottle with a traditional dropper. The ingredients are relatively stable and thereโ€™s no Retinoids so the clear glass isnโ€™t a big problem, although I admittedly have to do more research on the effects of light on Vitamin C. When in doubt, store in a closed drawer.โ € โ € ๐“˜๐“ท๐“ฐ๐“ป๐“ฎ๐“ญ๐“ฒ๐“ฎ๐“ท๐“ฝ๐“ผโ € This vegan product uses a sunflower oil base to deliver antioxidant-rich plant extracts such as acai and goji berry and other potent fatty acid-rich oils, as well as Vitamin E. Thereโ€™s some fragrance, but itโ€™s natural and most ingredients are certified organic.โ € โ € ๐“ฃ๐“ฎ๐”๐“ฝ๐“พ๐“ป๐“ฎโ € This oil is incredibly light but smooth and hydrating. Itโ€™s lightweight feel makes it appropriate for daytime use but you can use more to add a thicker coat for the nighttime. 2-3 drops sinks right in, but 4-5 drops does linger for a bit.โ € โ € ๐“Ÿ๐“ฎ๐“ป๐“ฏ๐“ธ๐“ป๐“ถ๐“ช๐“ท๐“ฌ๐“ฎโ € Iโ€™ve only had this for a few weeks, but have really enjoyed this as a replacement for my moisturizer at night (which is also from YTTP). I use the cream during the day because I like the way it sits under makeup. Then I douse myself with the oil at night. I find my complexion has become slightly brighter, but only time will tell with texture improvement. This isnโ€™t supposed to be a miracle worker, but a great moisturizing tool, which It certainly is. Itโ€™s a great introductory oil that many skin types will enjoy.
A close look at the @fentybeauty Island Bling liquid eyeshadow duo in the shades Summer Fling and Reignbow. Summer Fling is a deep metallic bronzer with subtle yet impactful glitter particles which I applied all over the lid. I then went on the center of the lid and the inner corners with Reignbow which is an iridescent gold. โ € I paired it with some of my favorite green beauty products:โ € @vapourbeauty Soft Focus Foundation in 140โ € @rmsbeauty Tinted Unpowder in 3-4โ € @fitglowbeauty Mineral Cheek in Sculptโ € @alimapure Highlighter in Dolceโ € โ € On the lips Iโ€™m wearing:โ € @mentedcosmetics Lip Shade in Pretty in Pinkโ € @fentybeauty Gloss Bombโ € โ € Lashes are @eylureofficial 117.โ € โ € โ € #Fenty #fentybeauty #beachplease #sephora #eyeshadowlook #eyeshadowtutorial #glitter #vapourbeauty #fitglowbeauty #alimapure #mentedcosmetics #rmsbeauty #greenbeauty #greenbeautyblogger #crueltyfreebeauty #crueltyfreemakeup #crueltyfreeblogger #skincareblogger #browngirlfriendly #browngirlbloggers #melaninmakeup #cocoaswatches #cleanbeauty #cleanbeautyblogger
Pictured here are the new @fentybeauty Island Bling Eyeshadow Duos. These pair two complementary shades - one a solid metallic, and the other more of a glitter topcoat. My full review is below:โ € โ € ๐“Ÿ๐“ป๐“ฒ๐“ฌ๐“ฎโ €โ € $26 for these duos is a great price, especially when you compare them to the Glossier Lidstars. You get two shades and double the volume for less than double the price of the Lidstars.โ € โ €โ € ๐“Ÿ๐“ช๐“ฌ๐“ด๐“ช๐“ฐ๐“ฒ๐“ท๐“ฐโ € The outside packaging is clearly gorgeous, and the doe foot applicator works well for the base metallic shade. I do however wish the glitter shade came with a smaller applicator for more precise application.โ € โ € ๐“ข๐“ฑ๐“ช๐“ญ๐“ฎ ๐“ข๐“ฎ๐“ต๐“ฎ๐“ฌ๐“ฝ๐“ฒ๐“ธ๐“ทโ € Each one of these shades makes a statement without being loud and I think any skin tone can get use out of both of the duos. The bronze has that adult glitter look that I love. You can dress it up with the gold glitter for a more dramatic look too. The peach shade is great for everyday, and itโ€™s rainbow glitter has a very ethereal festival lean.โ € โ €โ € ๐“˜๐“ท๐“ฐ๐“ป๐“ฎ๐“ญ๐“ฒ๐“ฎ๐“ท๐“ฝ๐“ผโ €โ € Although most ingredients are a 1 or 2 on EWG or a Good or better on Paulaโ€™s choice, this is definitely not a green beauty product. If you wear conventional makeup, you already wear most of the more questionable ingredients - which include PEGs, alcohol, BHT, Phenoxyethanol, Butylene Glycol.โ €โ € โ €โ € ๐“Ÿ๐“ฎ๐“ป๐“ฏ๐“ธ๐“ป๐“ถ๐“ช๐“ท๐“ฌ๐“ฎโ € Again, comparing them to the Glossier Lidstars, they are much more pigmented and much more impactful. But they require a little more finesse during application. I personally like to swipe them on heavily and then use a brush to blend out only the edges - they just donโ€™t layer effortlessly. But once you do get them on, they are incredible. They shine and sparkle in the light and last all day. Ultimately they are everything I wish the Glossier Lidstars were - pigmented, unique shades that work with EVERY skin tone.โ € โ € ๐“•๐“ฒ๐“ท๐“ช๐“ต ๐“ฃ๐“ฑ๐“ธ๐“พ๐“ฐ๐“ฑ๐“ฝ๐“ผโ € Itโ€™s really a shame that these are limited edition. I believe they are sold out online, but still available in stores. I hope that they release an entire line of these liquid eyeshadows - Iโ€™d probably buy them all ๐Ÿ™ˆ.โ € โ €
