Beauty Favorite + Giveaway with Soko Glam

Now that I feel like I'm getting older I've been trying to maintain my youth with skin products that I've tested and approved. I found my holy grail cleansing oil which doesn't contain any mineral oil (my skin is super sensitive) Rohto, and my favorite face wash Ole Henriksen african red tea foaming cleanser. Another cleanser I've been using daily is SU:M37 rose cleansing stick (not pictured because I've used it all up), has natural ingredients and smells heavenly. I've been trying to exfoliate my skin and found a great sugar mask by Skin Food, you evenly apply it on your skin and leave it for 10 minutes and then exfoliate! To keep the pesky pimples at bay I use SK-II facial treatment clear lotion and Origins spot treatment.

My go-to blush this past couple of months has been the Nars x Guy Bourdin cheek palette and Benefit Coralista! I like to sweep my cheeks with either a coral or peach color and found that the $3 ELF brush I bought from Target works like a charm when using a powder blush.

I always carry my YSL sheer candy glossy balm in dewy papaya (no. 2) and my Etude House cherry tint (similar here) in my bag. For a natural lip stain I use the Tony Moly CatChu Wink (similar here), and top if off with the Etude House tint for a gradient look.

I have all three Naked Palettes but personally like the second one out of the three because of the neutral-to-taupe shades. I think Naked 3 is more suitable in the spring and summer and know I'll be reaching for it once the weather warms up!

Now...giveaway time!! I'm excited for this giveaway as there will be 2 winners, each winner will win a $50 voucher to Soko Glam :) As you all know Soko Glam is one of my favorite websites to buy Korean skincare and cosmetics and there's always products curated just for you.

  4. The beauty tip that I will share is that skincare works best when pressed into the skin! If you press your serum, moisturizer, or any other type of skincare you use, it sinks into the skin better rather than rubbing it all over your face. Also, make sure to put on face moisturizer on right away after you get out of the shower because all of the hot water dehydrates your skin!

    ReplyDelete
  5. Taking care of the skin deep is more important than covering up the flaws using make-up. So hydrate, sleep early and have enough of it, and always wear sunscreen to avoid pre-mature lines and wrinkles. :)

  6. I love using coconut oil to remove my makeup after a long day. the oil removes all traces of makeup without clogging pores and conditions your eyelashes in the process! such a inexpensive natural way to add moisture and nourish your skin before cleansing!

    ReplyDelete
  7. One of my favorite beauty tricks is mixing my moisturizer with either a little bit of foundation or concealer. It's almost like BB cream but it's even better because you can customize it completely to your skin tone.

    ReplyDelete
  8. I use a face mask once a week. But my tip is for one specific product.
    When I feel luxurious I use the SK-II treatment mask. Due to its price tag I do a trick with the mask. When you take it out of the sleeve you can squeeze the mask so the essence is caught in the pouch. Then I save the essence in a dark dropper bottle and use the essence as a serum on other days.

  9. My beauty tip is that I add rosehip oil to my moisturizer. Makes my skin more supple and soft esp when applied at night.

  10. (Thanks for doing this giveaway!!)

    Here's a facial mask tip for all you DIY-ers out there: get one aloe vera plant stem, cut it in half and place the wet aloe vera side down on cotton pads lined up in a container, repeat and close the container. Store in your refrigerator overnight, or at least a few hours. Take the cotton pads out and place them all over your face. After 30 minutes, remove and make sure to pat any residual aloe in. This helps me reduce any redness and my skin instantly feels soft and supple. Hope this helps! xoxo

  11. Instead of using makeup remover products, I use Vaseline at the end of the day instead! It nourishes my skin and eyelashes, and I use a gentle cleanser afterwards to remove extra residue.

    ReplyDelete
  12. my favorite beauty tip is moisturizing with fresh's seaberry moisturizing face oil. it leaves my combination skin soft and smooth, but never oily or greasy. since i've been using it, my skin has less breakouts and less dry patches on my cheeks. love, love, love this product!

    ReplyDelete
  13. Ooh! To make my cheek bones look higher, I use bronzer under my cheekbone and a highlighter on my actual cheekbone. Works like magic!(:

    ReplyDelete
  14. My beauty tip is to look for a foundation that has an oil free formula. This is especially important if you have oily skin or are prone to acne.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Hi guys! Well my beauty tip is for those who are new at using eyeliner or just are looking for a easier way to apply it. If you want that perfect wing with your liquid eyeliner(or any other eyeliner) just use tape! If you dont want it to be really sticky on the side of your eye first press it against your clothes. Also a tip for new people ; start off with a pencil and then work your way up!

    ReplyDelete
  16. My beauty tip would be to drink looots of water and moisturize with Vitamin E! It leaves your skin so glowy. (:

    ReplyDelete
  17. For Oily skin, it's best to use any matte face products, it's nice to keep blotting paper wherever you go and when your using bronzer to make it stay longer, apply it before you put on your powder so it can be nice and secure (:

    ReplyDelete
  18. Water! Drink up for healthy looking skin. Also if scotch tape isn't your thing when making nail art try a flat rubber band stretched over your nail.

    ReplyDelete
  19. My beauty tip is that if you think you're running out of mascara, just close it very tightly, and literally cook it in boiling water. This is a great trick to make your mascara last longer, get everything out of the tube, and save money^~^

  20. Wow! Thx for this giveaway! A cool trick i think is important is that when applying bb cream, its best to use your fingers bc the heat from your hand melts the bb cream into your skin making it apply smoother and oxidize faster. Plus tht was how it was meant to be applied:)

  21. Hello:) my tip for all of y'all is to never sleep with makeup on your face! It will clog ur pores and cause breakouts!

  24. I follow you on Bloglovin (glossyblonde) and Soko Glam on Instagram (nikmariec) and my beauty tip is to get rid of flyaways by misting a little hairspray on a clean toothbrush and using it to tame those babies! It really works! Thanks for the amazing giveaway!

  25. My go-to foundation at the moment - hourglass. It is perfect for my oily yet dry skin! Leaves my face feeling super soft and most importantly doesnt feel/look heavy. It requires minimal to no touch-ups for the day! Highly recommend.

  26. Hi Sharon! My beauty tip is to freeze your eyeliner! I have a couple of cheap eyeliners that actually work really well, except they crumble. Just pop it in the freezer about 10 minutes, and you should be crumble free! :)

  27. One of my beauty tips is warming up foundation on the back of your hand then stippling it on with Real Techniques buffing brush. My current go to foundation is the Benefit hello flawless oxygen wow foundation. I love how light it feels yet it has medium coverage and makes your skin look dewy and flawless!

  28. My beauty tip is avocado. I love everything about it! It not only helps to remove dead skin cells from your body, but it's also an excellent product to make your skin softer, protect it against sunburn and makes your hair look shinier if you mix it up with an egg!

    ReplyDelete
  29. I love trying new products and experiment with new colors. However, I always feel good when I wash my face at the end of the day! I've started washing my face with a mixture of coconut oil and baking soda. My face feels so clean and light and my skin is getting clearer and clearer! I couldn't be happier!

  30. Hi!

    My beauty tip would be to always use a moisturizer with SPF in it to protect your skin! Since it can make your skin oily, I would pair it with a foundation that helps fight against acne as well. To make it even less oily, I use bare minerals' veil powder. It really works!

  38. My beauty tip is that when applying mascara, it gives you a fuller look if you wiggle the wand in between your lashes!

    ReplyDelete
  39. Beauty Tip: I find that when filling in your brows, it is easier when you first brush it through with a clear mascara. Wait about 15seconds for your brows to dry a little, then apply your brow powder. Applying the clear mascara helps to keep your brows in place without smudging any of the powder away from your brows.

    ReplyDelete
  40. My beauty tip definitely includes coconut oil... And a lot of it. I know everybody is always preaching about coconut oil, but on the things I love most, this is no joke. Not only does it keep you in good health, but literally leaves your skin, hair, and teeth glowing and strong! Add a tablespoon of coconut oil to your daily cup of tea (or if the texture is too much, though it really is not bad, try adding it to your smoothies or juices or just spend a little extra and buy the pills), wash your make up off (or just your skin in general) with coconut oil (even those with oily/acne prone skin! It's scary, but I swear it works wonders!), shave with coconut oil for less bumps and smoother skin, brush your teeth with coconut oil for those pearly whites! Condition your hair (never the top, but the ends/length) over night! Or if you prefer, put the coconut oil in your hair first thing in the shower and wash it out at the end! Try replacing your cooking spray/oil/butter with coconut oil for a healthier alternative! So quickly, your natural beauty will be enhanced in no time! What's make up?? :)

  41. My beauty tip is to use coconut oil to remove make up :) I also use coconut oil as a moisturizer!

  44. My beauty tip for longer looking eyelashes: Shiseido eyelash curler! It is on the pricer side but so worth it! I've had mine for over ten years! I tell everyone that regardless of mascara, this eyelash curler helps your eyelashes look longer and fuller! :)

    ReplyDelete
  45. My beauty tip is a hair mask. First mix coconut oil and one egg beaten in a bowl. Apply to your hair and leave in for 20 minutes. Shampoo and condition. And you're done! Soft manageable hair!
