LUXE DE SOLEY

May has come and gone like the wind, bringing with it extreme heat and fun beach filled week-ends.
Here are some of the products and other a bit more random items I've been enjoying throughout May.

To ensure my skin stays fresh and healthy under the sun I like to use these two Garnier skin care products on a daily basis, they help keep my skin a lot less oily, and my pores less visible.

If you have oily skin I honestly recommend you use it, I felt the difference after the second use

and the skin is left just looking really healthy. They target pores and excess oil and dirt that stays on your face after a long day, and they come in handy especially when it's hot and you sweat and your pores collect dirt.

My daily makeup routine is fairly simple as I wake up everyday at 5AM so I try not to spend too much time on it, and just go for the very natural "no makeup" makeup look.

Those are some of my makeup essentials that I carry with me everywhere. I reckon I would be slightly lost without them.

The first one would be the "essence" concealer that is just a most in my daily routine. Without it I look like a proper zombie. The essence 'cover cream' comes in handy in cases of red spots that you'd like to hide, and it does a better job at concealing those than the concealer that I use mostly for under the eyes and around the nose if needed.

On days that I use my JADE eyeliner I firstly apply my essence 'I ♥ STAGE' eye-primer, that keeps the eyeliner in place for the longest time, it won't let it smudge no matter how hot it gets.

If you feel like adding to that very simple look, you can add a lipgloss. I choose my coral essence one.

(As you can tell, my hype with essence has not died down yet.)

On Passover my sister got me this Nina Ricci Premier Jour perfume, that has truly been my most used this month out of my small collection.

It's sweet but not too sweet, and smell fantastic throughout the day. I've been receiving a lot of complements on this one, so I think it's a good one for this time of the year.

I have also been slightly going over-bored with my ASOS shopping lately, but two items made it to my favorites this month.

The dress I bought at the beginning of the month. I wore it for the Shavuot dinner this weekend, so no wonder it made it to this month's favorites.

I've had my eye on that particular dress since December I think, but only now actually bought it, and it was worth the wait!

The shows I got in April, and they have been part of many outfits of mine these past two months. They are very comfortable and look incredible on. What I also really like about them is that they fit so many different outfit styles, and are just really practical. You go ASOS!

And last but not least, is this set I got in April also, but used a lot during May whenever we had guests over.

I'm not really sure how to describe this one, but it's a set of four vintage looking country jars that come with cute red and white straws. My family is very big on juices and fruit shakes, so it's really nice drinking from them on a warm day. Very cute when you have people over. I think you can find jars like these almost in every home-wear store, I know it's become really popular to have a bunch of those in every household.

Those were some of the things I liked using this past month, I hope you enjoyed!

All the love, Sol xx.

There is a new drug-store brand in town - essence. It's an incredible cheap brand that will have you coming back for more.

Although all it's marketing design seem to target a younger audiance (looks a lot like a Barbie brand), the makeup suits girls and woman alike.
I have been avoiding the use of conciler at all for the past four months, not because I have perfect skin- because I don't, but because I am using good skin products that make it look a lot better.

The first product I would definatly recommend would be their "anti-spot cover cream" It is a most, and was especially made to fight spots and blackheads and to visibly cover imperfections. And it does the trick. It blends in perfectly with the skin, and hides away everything you don't want anyone to see.

The second prudoct, and in order of application, would be their concealer -"Coverstick". I use the 'Matt Sand' in the color 01. It hides away dark circles perfectly, and lightens up the face immediately. Perfect if you tend to have dark circles under your eyes.

The third product would be their powder,"Mattifying compact powder" which I use in the color light beige. If you don't like producys that have a smell, you might not like this one too much. I can't really identify and tell you what it smells like, but I can say that if you don't mind it's sweet smell, you might really enjoy the powder and the nice smooth finish it leaves the skin. Those three products make the perfect base, wether you are aiming for a more natural look, or a perfect one.

The forth product which I use a little less than the rest is their eye primer -"I LOVE STAGE eyeshadow base" which makes your eyeshadow last longer. I personally haven't been using eyeshadow almost at all lately, but when I have, the eyeshadow base helped it last longer, especially on the few hot days we've been having.

And last but not least, the essence lipglosse. I have been using two kinds - "XXXL longlasting lipgloss" which is a matt gloss that stays for hours and survives food and drinks. It is definatly very moisturized and doesn't leave your lips chipped, but still very soft. One other thing that is very good about this gloss is that it doesn'thave the unpleasent taste most lip-coloring products have.

The other lipgloss type I'd reccomend is the "XXXL SHINE lipgloss" which is a reguler tinted gloss, but it's not as sticky as most glosses are, and it lasts a long time.

I would give all the products I've used so far 10/10, and I can't wait to try out more.
