Summer Beauty Essentials

Just as you would dress accordingly to the weather, it is also important that your beauty and skincare products are suitable for the climate that you live in. Here are some beauty items essential for the summer, which just happens to be all-year round here in our sunny island!  

OIL MIST

WHY

Many women have the misconception that oil mists are definitely going to leave a sweaty, unpleasant shine on the face. Instead, good oil mists do quite the contrary - they moisturize the skin well, preventing excessive secretion of sebum from the pores.

HOW

It is, however, important to apply only a thin layer and balance it with water-based mists in your skincare habits. For best results, use the mist early in the morning and evening by sprinkling the mist on clean palms and then pressing it on your face, making sure they are well incorporated into your skin. This way, your skin will stay moist all they long.

CREAM BLUSHER

WHY

You definitely wouldn’t want your blush to smudge or disappear, but that unfortunately happens often with powder blushers in the unbearable heat of the summer. Try a hand at cream blushers in a rosy pink shade – they give off a natural and healthy glow and cream blushers often stay longer than powder blushers.

HOW

For first-timers, applying the correct amount of cream blusher can be tricky. Thus, always have foundation at hand when applying blush. If you realise that you have applied too much, simply use a cleansing wipe to lightly remove some of it and then touch it up with foundation to achieve the perfect flushed look.

COVER FOUNDATION

WHY

In the sweltering heat, base makeup that require multiple steps such as primer, BB or CC Cream and powder may seem troublesome. To simplify your makeup routine, use a cover foundation – they provide considerable coverage, often leave a matte finish that renders powder unnecessary, and has strong lasting power.  

HOW

Apply a small amount of foundation and subsequently use a makeup sponge to spread it evenly across the face. In trouble areas that require much more coverage, mix the foundation and a concealer in the ratio 2:1 to easily obtain a higher-coverage foundation.

NIGHT CLEANSER

WHY

It is easy to neglect the importance of removing your makeup in the lazy summer and many have the misconception that going to sleep with a full face of makeup and removing it the next morning does no harm. However, just imagine how damaging the bacteria accumulated within the layers of makeup on your face will be for your skin. Remember, proper cleansing is always the starting base for good skin.

HOW

Use it about 2-3 times a week and massage your face with the cleanser to feel the deep cleansing and calming effect.

4 Hot-Hot-Hot Summer Nail Trends

"Under the sun~ Under the sun~
Nails be so pretty
Cute, sweet & trendy
Take it from me!"


Get ready to nail it this summer!

While summer comes along with its own selection of fashion and adorable hairdos - we cannot leave out the nails! After all, the secret to looking effortlessly pretty is paying attention to the tiny details that others often overlook. ;)

This summer, we are going to take you ladies a step further. While those sweet pastel colors are great - we decided to look at trends that will give a little more oomph to make this summer worthwhile.

So here are 4 super gorgeous summer nail trends that you can try out to really shine through this season!

1. Candy Sweet Shades

Instead of just putting one shade per nail, go for a combination of two or more! Pick out happy, candy colors that will scream the joys of a radiant summer.

And add a 'sandy beach' kind of feel by blending the colors with an ombre effect. A very fun-in-the-sun sort of look that will instantly brighten up any look!

2. Various Levels Of French

The French nail is a timeless classic design that gives off a classy feel that also gives the illusion of longer fingers. 

This summer, treat yourself to French with a twist! Play around with the levels of French linings to create a classy and trendy look. Match up two of your favorite shades and show them off in style.

3. Boxed Up Nail

Picture it like a pretty coloring exercise, instead of the French line - the line goes around your entire nail itself.

You're going to need two contrasting shades to make this work! Only then will the design will stand out and make a statement on your fingertips. 

Our personal favorite is to paint the entire nail with some shiny gold or silver glitter, then line it up with a solid black.

4. Line Up 

Sometimes the best designs are the simplest. Here we are using the wonders of 'liners'.

Use the lines to box up your nail or to just create a simple and effortless design. For a fun and playful look, play with angles and paint the lines diagonally. Mimic a little bit of the French nail with horizontal lines towards the tip of your nails.

Otherwise, paint the lines vertically for a whole other look altogether. Really, the possibilities are quite limitless despite this simple inspiration!
