Sephora Must Haves

Leave a comment

I’ve loved makeup ever since I was a kid—it was always the one thing I couldn’t wait to play with and, honestly, nothing has changed. To this day, makeup is still my favorite thing to buy. Over the years, it’s become much clearer which products work best together and how much more there is to makeup than just a good lipstick.

This blog is for the girls and women who feel a little lost when it comes to beauty. If you’re not sure where to start, or what you actually need, consider this your guide to stocking up on the right essentials.

Concealer:

✨ Huda Beauty Corrector in Peach

This lightweight, buttery corrector instantly neutralizes dark circles with its rich peach tone. It blends seamlessly under concealer—but it’s also perfect on its own for those no-makeup days when you just want a quick, brightened under-eye without layering products.

✨ NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer

A cult classic for a reason. With hydrating medium coverage and a natural radiant finish, this concealer covers effortlessly while keeping the under-eyes fresh—not cakey. Use it in your exact shade for the most skin-like effect.

✨ Hourglass Vanish™ Airbrush Concealer

For extra brightness in the inner corners or high-points of the face, this concealer’s high coverage and soft-focus finish are unmatched. It gives a lifted, airbrushed look with just a tiny amount.

Primer:

✨Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Hydrating Makeup Primer

This primer is perfect for anyone who wants a smooth, glowing base without the heaviness. The Luminous Silk Hydrating Primer adds a healthy radiance while keeping the skin moisturized, helping foundation glide on effortlessly. It softens texture, grips makeup gently, and gives that signature Armani “lit-from-within” look. A beautiful choice for both natural makeup days and full glam.

Foundation:

✨ Armani Luminous Silk Foundation (lighter coverage)

For days when you want your skin to breathe but still look polished, the Armani Luminous Silk Foundation is perfect. It evens out the complexion with a soft, natural finish and feels weightless on the skin. Ideal for everyday wear or when you’re aiming for that effortless, glowy look.

✨ Estée Lauder Double Wear (more coverage)

When you need extra coverage and serious longevity, Estée Lauder Double Wear never fails. It gives a flawless, full-coverage finish that stays put all day without melting, fading, or creasing. Perfect for events, long days, or whenever you want a perfected, long-lasting base.

Setting powder

✨ Fenty Beauty Pro Filt’r Instant Retouch Setting Powder – Butter

This one is perfect for brightening and smoothing without looking heavy. The shade Butter adds a soft warmth that sets makeup beautifully while keeping the skin looking natural and fresh.

✨ Huda Beauty Easy Bake Loose Setting Powder – Cherry Blossom

If you love a bright under-eye, this powder is a game changer. Cherry Blossom adds that subtle pink brightening effect that instantly lifts the face. It blurs, smooths, and locks everything in place—perfect for baking or a light set.

✨ Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder

A classic for a reason. This powder gives a soft-focus, matte finish that keeps oils at bay without ever looking cakey. It works on every skin type and sets makeup flawlessly, making it a must-have staple in any makeup routine. If you’re new to makeup, Laura Mercier is the safest, most beginner-friendly option—you simply can’t go wrong with it.

Eye shadows:

Huda’s palettes have always been some of my favorites—super pigmented, easy to blend, and beginner-friendly without sacrificing quality.

✨ Grunge Palette – Browns & Blacks

This one is my go-to for an easy smoky eye. The rich browns and deep blacks blend effortlessly with no fallout and amazing pigment. It gives that bold, smoky look with almost no work, and it always turns out bomb.

Lip gloss:

✨ Charlotte Tilbury Big Lip Plumpgasm Plumping Lip Gloss – Pink Nude (Fair/Medium)

This is my go-to when I want a soft, pink nude with a subtle plumping effect. It’s glossy, lightweight, and perfect for everyday wear.

✨ Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer – Fussy & Fenty Glow

Fenty’s Gloss Bomb is a must-have for that universally flattering shine. The shades Fussy and Fenty Glow give lips a luscious, glossy finish without stickiness, making them perfect for layering over lipstick or wearing alone.

✨ Huda Beauty Faux Filler Shiny Non-Sticky Lip Gloss – Sugar Baby & Bombshell

These glosses are shiny, comfortable, and totally non-sticky. Sugar Baby and Bombshell are my favorites—they give that full, juicy lip look while feeling light and wearable all day.

Cheeks:

✨ Charlotte Tilbury Beauty Highlighter Wand – Pinkgasm & Gold

These are my go-to for adding instant glow. I apply them to the high points of my cheeks, and whenever the light hits, it reflects beautifully and looks amazing—effortless radiance every time.

✨ Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Liquid Blush – Happy & Spirited

Though technically a blush, I love using Happy and Spirited for a dewy, fresh highlight effect too. It gives my skin a natural, soft glow while adding a hint of color—perfect for a lively, youthful look.

Lip oil and balm

✨ Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Tinted Lip Oil Stain – Joy, Happy & Wonder

These tinted lip oils are perfect for a sheer wash of color with a glossy finish. They feel super lightweight, keep my lips hydrated, and add a fresh, natural tint that’s perfect for everyday wear.

✨ Dior Addict Lip Glow Balm – 001 Pink & 063 Pink Lilac

Dior’s Lip Glow Balms are my ultimate go-to for soft, nourished lips. The shades 001 Pink and 063 Pink Lilac give a subtle pop of color while keeping lips moisturized all day. They’re perfect for when I want a natural, effortless look.

Hair Treatment:

✨K18 Biomimetic Hairscience – Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask

Repairs hair at a molecular level, restoring strength, elasticity, and softness. I apply it after washing, leave it in a few minutes, and my hair feels instantly healthier. Definitely worth the price—one bottle can last up to six months if used correctly.

Conclusion:

Being a woman isn’t always easy. Life can be challenging, and sometimes we try to distract ourselves by indulging in things that make us happy. For me, buying and shopping is therapy—it makes my inner child happy, and I know it does the same for many women.

I also want to take a moment to express my gratitude for my amazing father. He gave me the world and the opportunity to grow, teaching me lessons that have shaped who I am today. There was still so much to learn, but he did more for me than any father in my family ever did for their daughters. He protected me, prioritized me, and never cared about society’s judgment or brainless opinions. He put me above everything and everyone else, and I will love him for that forever. I truly wish there were more fathers who see their daughters as human beings with emotions, capable of being nurtured, valued, and empowered.

Hey guys!

We’ve reached the end of the 5th month of this year and the time is just slipping by so fast. Anyways, I have been using some products this year which have been my go to every single time. I’d recommend these to anyone reading this blog post;

Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun : Rice + Probiotics (SPF50+ PA++++)

This is a light yet very creamy and hydrating sunscreen and i’ve been using it for 3 months now. This is contains 30% rice extract which is highly nourishing for the skin. I use it twice throughout the day once after my morning skin routine and the other layer 4-5 hours later throughout the day. I generally use sunblock a lot, even if i’m home i’ll use it.

Beauty of Joseon Ginseng Essence Water

I have been using this amazing toner and it’s my go to everytime I wash my face. Ginseng has been a cherished herb in Korean history, renowned for its benefits to our overall health and particularly our skin. This Ginseng Essence Water, is made with 80% ginseng water, harnesses the natural power of ginseng, nourishing and hydrating the skin deeply. This essence not only supplies your skin with ample moisture and nutrients but also ensures long-lasting hydration.

Bioderma Sensibio Gel Moussant

My skin has gotten really sensitive and I cannot use harsh chemicals or cleansers on my face. This has been my favourite facial wash since over a month now. They didn’t have the 200ML size available in my country to I had to order it from abroad. They had the 45ML sizes which hardly lasted me 10 days or maybe 12. This has no fragrance and is amazing when you want to wash off your stubborn mascara or even normally washing your face in the morning.

*remember you need to clean the excess makeup off before washing it with a face wash for a double cleanse and make sure everything comes off before you start your skincare*

Bioderma attoderm moisturiser

This is my favourite moisturiser. This is insanely hydrating. They stopped selling this particular moisturiser in my country *yet again* had to order it from boots and they had an amazing deal of buy 2 get the third one for free. Boots.uk has amazing deals so do check them out when ordering. Bioderma has been my favourite brand since last year.

Cosrx Pimple Patch

We all have that day when we have a pimple show up in the most obvious place on our face , and guess what I got? Cosrx pimple patch. You can literally do all your skincare and put up a patch over your annoying pimple and wait for it to go away.

Armani Luminous Silk Foundation

This foundation is everything. I am so upset that I never listened to people suggesting me this hydrating , sheer coverage and silk foundation before. It feels like your own skin and it gives you such a natural glow. I have used it 3-4 times already and I absolutely love it. This is coming from someone who has used Nars, Huda Beauty, Fenty and Chanel foundations; Armani takes the cake. Also your makeup will only look good if you take care of your skin and your diet. You can get all the expensive stuff but if your skin isn’t doing good you won’t look good.

Nars Creamy Concealer

I’ve been using this concealer since I first got it 2022. Got 2 more this year. The best part? It’s not at all heavy can be used on its own or over your foundation for a more glammed up look.The shelf life of this product is 2 years making it a major plus point to anyone who, like me, throws away makeup after the shelf life has ended.

Kiko Colored LipBalms

I absolutely love these lip balms. They are so hydrating and not too pigmented. It has the perfect balance of both. Even if it comes off it leaves a hint of the pigment on your lips. It has this immense scent of shea butter with a creamy formula. If you’re someone who loves lip balms do try it out.

Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Liquid Blush & Lip Oil

Previously i’d used their lip oil when it came out and I usually just wear it under my lipgloss for that pop of color. It’s really long lasting and hydrating and a perfect substitute for lipsticks. The cheek tint however is absolutely lovely. A little goes a long way, one dot is enough for your cheeks and i’ll definitely be repurchasing these items. I got the dewy liquid blush in the shade happy.

L’Occitane Shea Butter Hand Cream

I’m a complete germaphobe and I tend to wash my hands a lot. I prefer using mild soap since they are less drying and then boom I got this hand cream and I always use it whenever I wash my hands. It doesn’t have an extremely strong scent and it is very thick consistency and immensely hydrating. This can be used as a hand mask too for immense hydration.

Summer Fridays Lip Balm

Another absolute favourite lip balm has to Summer Fridays lip balm in the flavor; pink sugar. The scent of vanilla is very overpowering in this lip balm and it gives a hint of sugar too making it really cute. This is the best product you can carry in your bag and if you’re someone who doesn’t like using lipsticks. For all my lip balm and lip gloss girlies I’d suggest this lip balm. I’m definitely getting 3-4 different flavors in this now.

YSL LIBRE INTENSE EDP

I am a huge fan of Vanilla and Tonka generally and whatever perfume has these two as base notes tend to grab my attention super quick. I got this a couple of weeks ago and I reach for this perfume every single time. I absolutely love how it dries down on skin, it’s a perfect balance of everything. If you’re a girl who loves buying perfumes and still hasn’t gotten their hands on this one i’d suggest go for it.

Will be adding more to this list! đź©·

My Favourite Foundations

Leave a comment

Hey guys! I hope you all had an amazing summer, today i’ll be listing my top favourite foundation I’ve previously used and currently i’m using.

P.s I always go for the same line(brand) for the primer and concealer. Just to make sure everything goes on well smoothly.

I have been in love with makeup since I was 5. I used to take my cousins metallic purple lipstick and put it on myself and do my nails metallic green. I was a baby. And metallic purple is a very ugly shade. I don’t know why I was obsessed with purple when I was a kid. Fast forward to now I still do love makeup (occasionally) but nothing as dramatic as a metallic purple lip shade, I’m more into subtle pinks and nude shades.

Moving on to my favourite foundations;

Huda Beauty Faux Filter Foundation: $42

This foundation was a game changer! This is a complete full coverage foundation yet it felt so much like my normal skin. The shade I got was Amaretti (it was quite yellow for my skin but the concealer evened out the look). I got their primer as well(which was heavily perfumed). I personally don’t like to put heavily and artificially scented cosmetics on my face because I have a sensitive skin, and artificial scent doesn’t go on well with my skin. This foundation is quite heavy and I would not recommend this to anyone with an acne prone skin. This will probably clog your pores and cause more breakouts. But it’s perfectly fine for normal skin. I remember I used this foundation at a family gathering and it didn’t even move a bit, got asked a lot on what foundation i’d used. There are immense number of shades and undertones to choose from. I would always recommend buying your foundation before your skin gets tanned while on a vacation and the people at Sephora end up giving you a shade different than your normal skin tone. I won’t be investing on this foundation anytime soon, it’s just not my cup of tea anymore.

Fenty Beauty Pro Filt’r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation: $39

So I got this foundation when it first launched (on my first trip to The States) and I absolutely loved it. It was the big thing back then because it was Rihana’s first makeup launch and everyone was gaga over this brand. I remember when I wanted to buy it they didn’t have my shade and the lady at Sephora gave a shade darker than my skin tone. I don’t understand this obsession with a tanned look but well I got it and I liked it. I used it mostly on my trip and I got it along with their primer. It’s good for someone with a sensitive skin, it won’t clog your pores. I however will not be buying it again. I have probably had better stuff so I would rather stick to that. I love fenty setting powder, Lip gloss (universal and fussy) and their diamond bomb highlighters.

Mac Studio Fix Fluid SPF 15: $39

This is an amazing foundation the coverage isn’t that good, but it’s perfect for anyone with a sensitive skin. I usually mix it with my Estee Lauder foundation to give that full coverage. I use their pink strobe cream as a primer underneath my foundation and later use their concealer to give that fully amazing glammed up look. My tip with this foundation is mix this it with any other foundation(which has more coverage) if you want something with fuller coverage. My Mac shade is nc25.

Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation: $48

Okay I ordered this foundation online and the shade was a bit lighter than my skin tone, I cannot solely use it by itself. I mix this foundation with my Mac foundation to even it out. I do 2 parts of mac and 1 part of Estee when doing my makeup. The results are amazing. Mixing this particular foundation with my Mac is something I still do and I restocked on these foundations as well. Both these foundations are perfect for sensitive skin. They don’t clog your pores and the formula is amazing yet easy to apply.

Nars radiant long wear foundation: $49

I have been waiting to get my hands on this foundation for a very long time and I ended up buying it on my last trip to Los Angeles (july’22). I got the corrector, foundation and the concealer all matching my foundation shade. I use my Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Niancinamide dew drops as my primer, this is my holy grail (previously reviewed in my updated skin care post). They had those cameras at Sephora which would help you choose your matching foundation shade according to the undertones and color. My shade was Santa fe. This is such a light weight yet medium to full coverage foundation. It literally feels like skin. This particular foundation has a shelf life of 24 months which was amazing. This is perfect for someone like me who has to throw away half filled bottles just because their shelf life has expired within 6 or 12 months. Usually foundations have a shelf life of a year and you need to throw them away after that. It’s not perfumed, it’s oil free, easy to apply and transfer proof (Well I use a setting spray). I don’t know about you but my Urban decay all nighter setting spray didn’t go well with my Nars foundation, so I got the Charlotte Tilbury setting spray instead. I’ve been using Urban decay (original) setting spray since 2 years now but I guess the formula didn’t really work. Specially in corona times when you need a face mask, my urban decay literally locked in my makeup and there was absolutely no transfer.

In the end i’d like to add is that your makeup will only look good if you take care of your skin. No matter how full coverage or expensive your foundation may be, it won’t help in doing much. If you have a beautiful skin, which is well taken care of, your makeup too will look amazing. Don’t ever forget to use an SPF in the morning (at the very end of your skin care routine) and don’t ever sleep with your makeup on. Remember to drink plenty of water and keep yourself hydrated specially in this humid and hot weather. Please refrain from buying foundation which does not match your skin tone, getting foundation lighter than your skin tone will make you look like casper (grey ghost). No offence.

Stay tuned for more!🤍

Hey guys,

I hope you all are having an amazing day, so today I’ll be telling you guys about some of the most amazing products Fenty Beauty came up with. There are some products I actually restocked, and they are worth every dollar.

So some of my favorites are:

  • PRO FILT’R Instant Retouch Primer

primer

I have reviewed this product in my previous blog post, and this is amazing, it actually helps the makeup go on smoothly on your skin. I have an extremely sensitive skin, but this primer went on so well, it’s a must have. I’ve been using it ever since i first bought it and now restocked it.

To check out my list of favorite high-end primers: http://sehr.reviews/high-end-primers-tried-and-tested

  • PRO FILT’R Soft Matte Longwear Foundation

fenty

Fenty Beauty came up with 40 different shades from light, medium, tan and deep. Everyone can get a perfect match thanks to RIRI. The best part about this foundation is that it has a buildable coverage, meaning you can go from medium to a full coverage thanks to this amazing product. This however oxidizes so I would recommend going a shade or two lighter from your actual shade.

More Detailed review of this product: http://sehr.reviews/fenty-makeup-review

  • DIAMOND BOMB All-Over Diamond Veil;

diamond.png

This is one of my most favorite highlighters, it looks amazing. You can use it on the high points of your cheek bones, inner corner of your eyes and even eye lids.

If you love good highlighters, then this is a must have. It’s really different from any usual highlighter and it feels amazing. Here is an example of how AMAZINGGG đź’Ž this product is:

  • GLOSS BOMB Universal Lip Luminizer

gloss bomb.png

This gloss bomb is everything. I can’t stop using it, and it lasts super long. I’m not a huge fan of lipsticks, but this tinted gloss bomb is everything. I bought the universal color but they have this pink-tinted gloss bomb available too. The best part it does not dry your lips, even if it comes off after sometime it wont look bad, unlike lipstick.

Stay tuned for more!♥

And guys, Fenty is coming up with, “The Cure”, it’s a concealer which will help hide those dark circles, pigment and acne scars. Say no more RIRI is going to help you achieve the most flawless makeup look.

CLINIQUE Foundation Review

Leave a comment

Hey Guys,

I hope you all are having an amazing day. So today I’ll be reviewing one of my favorite day-to-day wear foundation. It’s Clinique Super balanced foundation, and the best part is it comes with a SPF. In other words it perfects and protects.

Clinique

The name super balanced means that this foundation helps control oil yet hydrates where it’s needed. And I used this foundation for an entire day and it was just perfect,  I didn’t need any touch ups. It is for all skin types(dry, combination & oily). So as i said in my previous blogs, i have a sensitive skin and very few things go well with my skin, this foundation worked really well for me. The best part of Cinique is that their foundations are fragrance free and allergy tested. In other words this foundation does not cause breakouts, at least not in my case. My shade in this was Silk Sahara.

I would definitely recommend this foundation to anyone who wants something safe for their daily wear. The only drawback of Clinique is that it does not have many options in shades, so you might find it a bit difficult to find your true shade.

Lastly, always do makeup after your skin care routine(read the previous blog).

My next blog will be on primers I have used and swear by. Stay Tuned!
