Sleek Solstice Palette, Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua, NUXE Huile and Benefit High Brow

As the title of this post suggests, today will be all about my favourite glowy (makeup) products to give you that amazing luminous summer look. Also, this will be the start of my new series called 'My Favourite Five'. In this series I will be featuring my five favourite products of basically everything I can think of (let's see how far I get with this shall we?). The products seen in above photo are all products I use on a daily basis and that I've found help me in giving my skin that glow from within that I'm always trying to accomplish. Let's dive into them

Sleek Solstice Palette, Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua and Benefit High Brow


Highlighter

First up is highlighter. Now, lately it's been all about the Sleek Solstice Highlighting Palette for me, but any highlighter will do honestly. I find that without a highlighter my skin will be looking quite one dimensional and dull. It also looks way more dry, which I find really ages me. The perfect thing about this highlighter, is that it comes with multiple shades in one palette, so you can mix them up or use them on different parts of your face. I like to apply it on the top of my cheekbones, my brow bone, on my cupid's bow and the teeniest bit on my nose. Next to the Solstice palette, some other of my favourite highlighters are the Mary Lou Manizer from The Balm and Champagne Pop. 

Chanel Vitalumiére Aqua foundation

This might be my favourite luminous foundation of all time. Yes I did just say of all time. I love it because it's a lightweight foundation that blends in perfectly with your skin, leaving you with a glowy finish for all year round. Before I always used to go for foundations with a matte finish, but I've found that glowy finishes suit me way better and give you a more natural, fresh and less cakey look. I find that the shade Beige Rose 12 is a perfect match for my skin tone. I also adore that it sinks into your skin quickly, as there is nothing that I hate more than being left with a sticky feel to my entire face. A review on this high end stunner will definitely follow.

Benefit High Brow

This baby changed my daily brow ritual. It doesn't exactly give off a crazy glow, but it sure highlights your brow bone, giving your brows an instant lift. Even so much so that it completely opens up your eyes. Combined with the other glow products mentioned I find that it gives my face an amazing freshness.

NUXE Huile and Makeup Revolution Vivid Baked Bronzer in Ready To Go


NUXE Huile Prodigeuse Or

This is a newer product to my beauty arsenal. I've had it for a couple weeks now and have been using it daily ever since. I honestly couldn't imagine my routine without it now. This non sticky oil leaves you with a glowy and hydrated skin, it also gives off subtle little specks of sparkle. I find that specifically great for summer. Next to using this on my body (I use it specifically for my arms and legs), it can als be used on the ends of your hair, it being a multi purpose oil. I haven't tried this out yet, but I for sure will in the forseeable future. For anyone who likes to use this oil in winter also, there's a non sparkly version of this oil as well.

Makeup Revolution Vivid Baked Bronzer

The last product I swear by is a good bronzer. To be honest so far I only owned one bronzer that I truly loved to use: Hoola by Benefit. It's an amazing one at that. However, it was matte. For summer I wanted a more luminous look so I recently picked up this budget one from Makeup Revolution. So far I am completely blown away. More on this bronzer in an upcoming review.
