10 Skincare & Beauty Products We Can’t Live Without!
As we enter our mid 20s and move towards our 30s, skincare gets essential but we also become more mindful of beauty products and see what we get the best of from them!
Here are our top 10 picks!
1. Farmacy – Green Clean Makeup Removing Cleansing Balm
This is honestly magic! Coming back from a late night, all we want to do is quickly take off our makeup and moisturize! This cleansing balm does exactly that in less than 5 seconds. The refreshing balm instantly belts onto your skin and starts removing your makeup and mascara effortlessly!
2. Farmacy – Honey Potion Renewing Antioxidant Hydration Mask
This is another fantastic product by Farmacy! As you apply it on your face it has a soothing warm sensation which doesn’t irritate even the most sensitive skin. We leave it on for about 15-20 minutes and then wash it off with cold water. It comes off easily and it leaves the skin feeling absolutely refreshed, hydrated and leaves a glow that lasts about two-three days. This mask is a win-win!
3. Huda Beauty Nude Palette
This palette is gorgeous! It has beautiful shades of pinks, purples and nudes as well as some great sparkly shades! All of them are high pigmented which easily blend on your eyelids and all the Colours suit our skin tone. We end up using this palette for almost every event out.
4. Conatural’s Rose Face Gel
This face gel has been a God send this summer! In this heat, it was a struggle to find a moisturizer that wouldn’t leave the face looking greasy and then we discovered this lovely product! Every morning, we apply the rose face gel for hydration. It instantly cools down the face which is a big plus point in this weather and the best part is it does not leave your face looking greasy or oily. Apart from being cooling and hydrating it also smells of fresh roses!
5. Huda Beauty Melted Eyeshadows
If you’re a beginner in applying makeup and are nervous to get that perfect look for your eyes then Huda Beauty’s melted eyeshadows are for you! They are dual ended liquid eye shadows that come with a paintbrush like applicator. Having combinations of a luxurious velvety matte and a metallic counterpart means your eyes will be looking glam under 5 seconds. The applicator makes it very easy to apply leaving your eyes looking gorgeous!
6. Becca Champagne Pop Highlighter
Becca’s champagne pop highlighter is a beautiful shimmery gold that suits the Pakistani skin-tone colour. It beautifully reflects light off your skin without making it look as if your face has been stepped on by a mountain of glitter! Great to use on bare skin or with a face full of makeup. We definitely would recommend this product to anyone that is looking for a new highlighter.
7. Anastasia Beverly Hills Lip Palette
Where do we even begin!? This palette is everything. We feel like we don’t even use lipsticks or any other lip-glosses anymore. This is a professional lip palette that comes with various matte shades that range from neutrals to primaries to bold bright colours! You can wear them alone or create your own custom shade as it comes with a mixing palette. They stay on for hours and they never leave your lips feeling dry or chapped!
8. Original Skin Retexturizing Mask with Rose Clay
This ten-minute mask is a great mid-week pick me up! This luxurious mask has gentle exfoliating and polishing properties enabling the clay mask to not only absorb your skin impurities such as dirt, oil and makeup residue but also gradually reducing your pores and dead skin cells thanks to the microbeads. What’s great about this mask is that it doesn’t overly dry out your skin! After you wash it off, your skin feels hydrated, soft and youthful.
9. Drink Up Intensive Overnight Hydrating Mask With Avocado & Swiss Glacier Water
For us, this is a key moisturizer! Every time we get off a flight or if we’ve had a few nights out, there is a need to give our skin the treatment it deserves! This low maintenance moisturizer is our answer, always! It smells of avocados (yum) and it’s thick and creamy in a good way! It applies on easily without leaving the skin feel heavy or greasy and we leave It on all night, waking up to skin that feels well-nourished and looked after!
10. Better Than Sex Mascara by Too Faced
This mascara is number 1 for a very good reason! It’s one of the most talked about mascaras ever and when we tried it, we don’t think we could go back! The hourglass shaped wand is great to wiggle around your eyelashes to create that volume and length for you, especially to lift up those inner corner eyelashes! The formulation is very pigmented and quick drying! We usually don’t need more than 1-2 coats for our eyelashes to look dramatic and there isn’t a need to retouch them during the day either!
