DANA'S VANITY

It's my birth month which means I have a valid excuse reason to justify all the purchases I've made 🙈. Not that it matters but this is a collective haul which means I didn't get them all in one purchase but separately throughout the month and some were gifted by my family. Also, I've already tried a few of the products but some of them I haven't used yet so I won't be reviewing each one but just give you my overall thoughts and first impressions. Moving on, here are the products that I recently got:

This is my very first product from Glossier and honestly the reason why it took me a while is because I was a bit skeptical about the brand at first. They seemed to me like one of those very overpriced and overhyped brands that are popular because of social media and good branding. Also, most of their products are marketed as very natural looking makeup meaning they tend to be more on the sheer side in terms of pigmentation so I felt like I wouldn't be getting the most out of my money. Despite all this, I really wanted to try their new cloud paints specifically in the shade Dusk which has a gorgeous nude, pink-y brown color and because I've been really drawn to these type of colors lately, I immediately fell in love. So is the hype real about this product? Find out below!

Summer time has officially arrived and if you are living in a tropical country like here in the Philippines, you're pretty much accustomed to the scorching heat especially during this time of the year. I think it's especially hard for us oily-skinned girls to maintain our makeup during this time and it's probably best not to wear any at all but I'm here to give you a couple of tips in achieving an oil-free face this summer regardless if you prefer to go bare-faced or not.
