While this is the perfect time to branch out and finally try products that have been on your wish list, I like to use these rare bonus events to stock up my beauty must-haves. Scroll below to browse what’s sitting in my cart.
Fenty Beauty Pro Filt'r Hydrating Longwear Foundation
To create an everyday fresh face makeup look, this hydrating foundation ensures buildable coverage to create a believable and natural finish. Best of all, I love it because it’s super comfortable for all-day wear. Like Fenty’s infamous Pro Filt’r Soft Matte Foundation, this new foundation is available in 50 inclusive shades. I wear the shade 300.

Tatcha The Silk Canvas Protective Primer
I always underestimated the claims of primer until I got my hands on this bad boy. A cult-favourite, this velvety primer comes in a smooth balm form and gently glides on to the skin to make makeup last all day, without clogging my pores. I even like to wear it on my no-makeup days to blur and smoothen out fine lines and small imperfections.

Caudalie Beauty Elixir
While face mists are often considered as an added luxury, this one by Caudalie is one that I can’t simply live without. Used by celebrity makeup artists worldwide, this Elixir helps prime and set makeup due to its impeccable toning and skin refining properties. Infused with soothing properties of rosemary, mint and rosewater, it not only enhances your glow, but it smells like a spa in a jar.

MILK MAKEUP KUSH High Volume Mascara
Bare and naked, my lashes look almost lifeless: limp, straight, short (thanks a lot, Asian genes). So to transform the look of my lashes, without the commitment to extensions and tints and the struggle of false lashes, this nourishing, cannabis seed-infused mascara does the trick. Formulated with thickening heart-shaped fibres, and pure pigments, just two to three coats of mascara gives my lashes a dramatic effect. And because it’s so good, a little really does go a long way with this one.

Benefit Cosmetics BROWVO! Conditioning Primer Nutrient Rich Eyebrow Primer
If you know me, you know I’m very particular with how I groom and fill in my brows. For that boy bow, full, feathered look, I like to prime my brows with this conditioning clear brow gel. Just like glue, this formula holds my brow hair into place to easily manipulate the look of brows that I don’t naturally have.

SEPHORA COLLECTION Mask Stick
Not only am I sucker for cute packaging, but I also love anything that calls for convenience, hence why this mask stick is sitting in my cart. Yes to anything mess-free! To be honest, I haven’t tried any of these masks yet, but for only $11...why the heck not. These masks come in four different ranges: Watermelon Mask: Nurtures, Bamboo Mask: Mattifies, Charcoal Mask: Smoothing, Spirulina Mask: Purifying. And because my skin is still recovering the summer-long dehydration, the watermelon mask sounds like the perfect match.

Caudalie Vinopure Natural Salicylic Acid Pore Minimizing Serum
I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: this serum is worth every penny. This pore-diminishing gel serum is powered by 100 per cent natural salicylic acid to address blackheads, pores, breakouts, and excess oil, great for oily and acne-prone skin. I swear, it mattifies your skin instantly and you’ll see results after just one use.

Kat Von D + Light Face Contour Refillable Palette
I have a round face and a very flat nose so I love me a good contour. I love this contouring palette because it includes three shades for contouring and highlighting to give my face a natural-looking finish and the dimension it needs. Not only do I use it on my nose, forehead and cheekbones, but I like to brush a bit of the deepest shade on my lids. It’s an all-in-one palette, perfect for travel.

Ouai Hair Oil
We all want what we can’t have, and for me that’s naturally straight hair. After every wash, I blow dry my hair and finish it off with a straightening iron. And this summer to control and prevent fly aways and frizzy roots from peeking through, this lightweight hair oil has been my saving grace. If it didn’t leave my hair with amazing high-shine, I would forget its even in my hair because it’s that weightless.
