Travel essentials (makeup and skin care )

Hello beauties welcome back to the blog . I hope all of you are doing great ! As most of you might know I am going on vacation to France for a month and 2 days . As it is the summer time many of you might be traveling as well , hence I decided to share with you my personal essentials which I will be carrying with me while I am away !

Ps I will be making a travel diary so I will be blessing you guys with daily blog entries of my adventures and stops and all the fun stuff !

Anyway enough rambling and lets get straight into it .

lets start by skin care because prepping the face is a definite step as a well prepped skin results in a flawless base.

FACE WASH :

After  a long flight my skin tends to break out , and I have a face wash that helps me get rid of them and prevent them from showing which is the Neutrogena visibly clear spot control . it is has a pump and when you pump it out it comes out as a foam it smells incredibly good and really gets the job done ! plus my brother uses it when he breaks out .

MICELLAR,TONER,MAKEUP REMOVER;

I have found a kit from Samoa cosmetics that has a micellar and toning water a milk makeup remover and a biphasic makeup remover . it also comes with a set of cotton pads which is great and it can save me a lot of space since its designed for travel you guys can find it on the website https://feel22.com/ where you can benefit from a 10% off using my code glamxqueenfeel22

TREATMENT :

I will definitely be carrying my kiko Milano shine refine spot which helps in eliminating any spot when applies 3 times a day it is rich in hyloraunic acid which is known to help treat spots .

MOISTURIZER:

Okay so I  am very picky when it comes to moisturizer , I  have been loving the Dior capture sculpt 10 it is so incredible it keeps my skin tight and moisturized .

NOW , onto the fun stuff MAKEUP .

so I  decided to pack in a smart way especially that I will  be still working on my blog and instagram

which means I will still be uploading makeup tutorials and get ready with me in my stories and video as well as products of the day and all that fun stuff .

so I have changed the list of products that I am carrying to my trip because they were a lot and no one needs that many products while traveling! I know my list is still kind of a lot for most of you , but having a blog and creating looks and content requires all these products .

 so enough rambling and lets jump straight into it !

hello everyone in today's episode we will be chit chatting about my current favorite eye products to extenuate , shape and contour my eyes .

First off , to have a good makeup look means having a good base underneath. In order to have a clean canvas i like to prep my eyes using the kiko  pearly  eye base it leaves a really nice glow and helps the shadow blend seamlessly and makes the colors pop more !

Eye shadow pallets are my personal favorite makeup items when  i shop . My top picks are the max and more eye shadow pallet in nude it has 8 eye shadow colors 7 of them are shimmers and they are extremely pigmented and rich and one light skin tone mat color that is a gorgeous brown bone highlight or it can be used to set the entire lid after the primer .

The elf mini black book (the warm edition) has to be mentioned here  . This discovery was thanks to my beautiful friend Farah matar , which was extremely kind to gift it to me on my birthday it also came with the 2 white brushes that are displayed in the above picture . The quality of these eye shadows is phenomenal they are so buttery and smooth and they blend beautifully on the eyes and they are so pigmented . What i love the most about this pallet is that it comes with  a great selection of warm shadows , but in the same time it has some fun pops of color .

I can't forget to mention my favorite eye shadow quad of all time the flormar eye quad in a taste of chocolates . The formula on these is so unique they are so buttery and creamy . They blend like a dream . The pigment that these eye shadows have is incredible considering that they cost 3.5$ only !
Now onto the product i am most excited about which is the kiko cream crush shadow in the shade 05 oh my god i have not been able to put this down you guys .The way this cream shadow feels is so satisfying and its very different than my maybelline color tattoos . They are so blinding and pigmented they are so rich and glittery you do not need much when u apply them . If you were to buy any of these products then make sure its this one .

As for liners that will be a totally separate post ,but this specific white liner from modelite i tend to pair it up in all the looks that i do using these products so i thought it would be only fair to mention it.
My all time favorite mascara has to be the kiko milano extra sculpt volume mascara the water proof one . This mascara is incredible it gives me both length and volume . It is not clumpy and it curls my lashes when literally no mascara can curl them and hold their curl as much as this one does. It is so black for all the people that care about that factor!

Lastly as i have thick brows naturally , i do not tend to fill them in or else they will look bad so i just like brush some eye brow gel in them to make them look put together and the one i use is the NYX cosmetics tinted brow mascara in the shade espresso which is there darkest shade as i am a brunette !

oh by the way all the shown brushes are by yves morell (black handles ) and by elf (white handles)

 I really enjoyed writing this blog post , i really hope you enjoyed it as much as i did . Tell me in the comments about your favorite eye products , maybe we can have a chat about them? Leave me suggestions about posts you'd like to read about here ! Until next time ~XOXOA

I am a firm believer that a good skin care routine can improve your make up game from 0 to 100 really quick ! so today i will share with you my secret to clear and healthy skin❤️.

so today we will be talking about some tips to improve the skin and my personal skin care routine  . 

  In regards to my skin care routine i like to keep it simple and effective ! 

1. I like to start my wiping my skin with some makeup wipes my personal favorite ones  are the WYCON makeup remover wipes as they have bumps so it feels like you are massaging your skin and it does burn . 
2. I then wash my face two time using the garnier micellar gel wash which leaves my skin very radiant , clean ,and smooth . it also makes sure that all the toxins are out of my skin . 
3. I then moisturize my face using any good moisturizer that is free of parabens since they are toxic to the skin . i usually use my avon moisturizer or my dior skin moisturizer i honestly think both of them are amazing , and in the end it all comes down to personal preference . 
4. then i like to use my facial oils and serums ! and as the queen nikkie tutorials always says :"never put moisturizer on top of serum or oils" so always make sure you apply your moisturizer then move on to your serum of choice . my personal favorite is the neutraeffects serum by avon . 
5. lastly i like to apply some lipbalm to keep my lips smooth and soft .  

Now onto some delicious skin secrets : 

• when i face any skin break outs i like to use the shine refine spot from kiko milano it has salicitic acid and i like to apply it 2 -3 times a day on the spot as it dries it and extracts the baceteria out of it and then makes it disappear and it takes 2 or 3 days maximum to eliminate the spot . 
• i also like to use face masks frequently , i try to apply a mask  to my face around 2 timed a week! my personal favorite is the black mud mask from l'oreal the charcoal one i love it detoxifies my skin and makes it glow, look radiant , and feel so smooth . 
• i also love to use vaseline as a makeup melter , i put some on my face and rub it and it dissolves all my makeup then i use a makeup wipe to remove it all and it would be all gone !

Hello everyone🙋🏽 , i hope all of you are doing great ! i have missed writing these blog posts ! My finals are finally over , and now i have more time to upload regularly❤️ in today’s epsoid we will be talkng about my favorites for the month of march ❤️ 

Let’s start by talking about my new discovery! The flormar stick concelear in the shade 05 i love the coverage that it gives me , it is not FULL coverage i’d say its medium to full coverage but it is perfect for the everyday look. It’s super easy to blend and does not crease! 

The kiko powder has definately been a hit for me this month i loved how it was setting the concelear without giving me a powdery and cakey effect , plus its long wearing!  

The kiko pearly eye bas has been a game changer when it comes to doing my eyeshadow . It is infused with real pearls !! Moreover, it makes the eyeshadow above it pop and look more pigmented and it makes your eyeshadow last a lot longer! It can be even worn on its own for a pearly and glossy effect on the eyelids🌚 

The maxfactor bronzer in the shade02 has been my favorite for so long i haven’t been able to put it down ever since i bought it ! it is not matt but it is not overly shimmery it has some shimmer to it to give a healthy and radiant effect !😻 

The cream crush shadows by kiko have been literally the only eyeshadow i have been using for the past 2 months i can’t seem to put them down . They are lovely , very pigmented and easy to blend and they look stunning on the lids! 

The flormar eyeshadow quad has been the only powder shadow i have been using! they are very buttery and smooth to the touch , easy to blend , and bery long wearing . Many looks can be created using this quad ( will be posting tutorials soon) 

The kiko extra sculpt volume mascara has been known to be a dupe for the too faced better than sex mascara . It doesn’t clump my eyelashes , gives me volume and length , and this is the water proof version . You guys removing this is a struggle because its so water proof it has passed the sweating and swimming test !! 

My h&m lipbalm has been keeping my lips soft all winter long and it smells and tastes amazing! ( apple and vanilla flavor) 

My favorites for lips must definately be the h&m glosses in noon and zoe they are so moisturizing and glossy and brightning and they are non sticky and they last a considerable amount of time! Can’t wait to try more shades soon! 

Lastely the tools that i have been in love with are the real techniques miracle complexion sponge 

To blend in my cream products 

The yves morell flat top cabouky brush to blend in my cream products and my mac brush (the name has rubbed off sorry but ill try to find it!) to set my makeup and bronze my face!❤️ and can’t forget my floral brush from max and more to apply my powders! 

These were my favorites what were yours? Share them with me in the comments and lets have a chat about makeup💋XOXO-A

Hey loves!
I hope all of you are doing great today we will be talking about a bb cream but not any bb cream .
The flormar BB cream the anti blemish one is a gem. i had my eyes on it all summer long and last week they had a 50% off sale on some items and luckily it was one of them so i got it for around 6.25$(10000L.L) .

One of the main reasons why i loved it is that it has spf and does not oxidize , usually facial products with spf tend to oxidize throughout the day leaving you with an orange face. However,this BB cream does not do that ,it is very long wearing . i did a wear test on it 2 times and i was fairly impressed.
it wore beautifully for 12+ hours and it looked so fresh and not cakeky or crumbly it stayed true to color . i did not need to powder or touch up during the day.

So as most of you know a bb cream is basically a tinted moisturizer .a facial cream with a tint .  BB creams usually have little coverage enough to unify the tone of the face . However , this one i noticed that it had a little more coverage than traditional bb creams which is a really nice option to have .

When it comes to facial makeup it is literally what worries me the most because i have sensitive skin and i am always afraid that i will break out because of them. I have experienced some itiching in the past because of some facial products but as this one is an anti-blemish bb cream it has ingredients that can help to heal your breakouts and not damage them .Morever , what is best is that it literally looks like skin it does not look like you have anything on your skin while still providing you with that beautiful natural coverage while being glowy on all the high points of the face .

 My only critique about this product is that their is not enough shades to suit everyone . its true that i found my perfect match but i do not think that many people can find their match or they would have to mix different shades to get there shade . I really hope they end up comming with more shades.

I really hope you enjoyed this review , if you did tell me your opinion in the comments down below and if you tried this bb cream did you like it ? and what is your holy grail foundation , cc cream, bb cream.

Hey loves ,i hope all of you are doing great 💕✨! In today's epsoid of all times favs i will be sharing with you my holy grail bronzer which is by max factor . I use the shade 02 . It is a matt bronzer , but it has a hint or slight shean of shimmer just to give a very healthy bronzed look . It is pigmented but not overly pigmented where blending it becomes hard . It blends out beautifuly on the skin . I personally like to use it as a bronzer and contour . I like to apply it as if i'm applying contour then blend it out then apply it as a bronzer . Speaking about it makes it look intense but it doesn't at all . It comes with a lot of product too!!  Best used with big fluffy brushes at least that's how i love to apply it . I even use it to set me cream contour sometimes . Overall amazing product definately top favorite✨  I really hope you enjoyed this epsoid and found it helpful please show it some love and support by hitting the heart button❤️and if you'd like to see more from me you can follow me @xglamqueenx until next time 😍❤️💕  XOXO~A💁🏽
