Pink



Cushion foundation has been popular in Korea for quite some time and is now gaining mainstream popularity Stateside. If you want to venture into trying a cushion foundation but don't want to invest a lot of money into something that migh tnot work with you 100%, try out this cheaper drugstore option. The compromise is that it's not as long lasting as the more expensive like Pacific Amor but it's totally portable for touch-ups later in the day.

Quite pleased with the L'oreal Lumi Cushion (Pictured in W2 Light Ivory) so far, now my go-to for the low-maintenance everyday look. Its buildable light-medium coverage is great for toning out my flush red cheeks just enough and letting some of the beloved freckles and peek through. The luminous finish leaves my face feeling fresh and satiny rather than sticky, thus no need for a setting powder.


The Guerlain Kisskiss Lip Gloss in Coral Pearl is a favorite gloss for not being overly goopey and goes well the days I run out of the usual Dior Addict Lip Glow or want something that I won't eat away in a couple minutes. Glosses last freakin forever on your lips. Fresh is the look I usually go for and love the subtle wink of color they both give. Unfortunately the Kisskiss gloss is no longer available, being replaced by the Gloss D'Enfer which I find a bit too intense in its wet-look shininess for me and see the Kisskiss Rose Lip to be a more comparable product.

Not a big wearer of perfume but I've had this Philosophy Amazing Grace for a couple years now and spritz it on when I need to feel a little extra feminine. Musk makes me think of Chanel No. 9 and old rich women. This is balanced out by citrusy bergamot and softened with Muguet blossoms. No need to run for the hills. It's clean and makes you feel all pink and femme without the sugar.
