Giorgio Armani luminous silk foundation

My favourite foundation and new found love

August 01, 2017 in Beauty
chanel highlighter face pen

So I recently posted my go-to foundation which I have been using for ages like possibly more then 7 years lol. It is the Giorgio Armani lumunious silk.  The name luminous silk is exactly how it feels on your skin. It is a really light foundation both in coverage and texture. For me it has always been enough coverage. Both my parents have really beautiful skin which I was blessed enough to inherit. Besides some slight colour pigmentation and the occasional pimple my skin is very clear and scar free so I have never needed a really thick foundation. I do take care of my skin as well and never (anymore eeek) tan my face. I wear this when I do a full face of makeup for an event and it lasts the whole time I am out. I also find a little goes a long way so it lasts me agessss which is great because it's a little more expensive then your cheaper brands. I don't wear liquid foundation every day though.
It is about $90 depending on where you get it from. I use colour 6.5 for winter and 9 for summer. 9 is really dark so if I haven't reached that level of tanned-ness (is that a word haha if not it is now) then I mix the two with a higher ratio of the 6.5.

So my new found makeup love is the Chanel Highlighter Face Pen Èclat Lumière . It is a concealer and the coverage is so great. I have found it lasts a lot longer then my previous one which was Maybelline Age Repair. I do like that one but I prefer the Chanel. The applicator brush is more like a makeup brush where as the Maybelline one is like a round sponge. I also love the colour of the Chanel concealer against my skin. I don't like the look where you can see the concealer and it's really white under the eyes especially in photo's so I apply my concealer underneath my Giorgio Armani foundation. This could be a makeup  crime according to MUA's but I am doing what works for me :) 

Hope you liked this little review of my fave products. If you want to know anything else just hola. 

 

Much love 

TDH

Beef tallow for skincare ? As a former vego, I can't get enough of Reclaim Beauty !
June 9, 2025

I have also made the switch with my skin care to all natural products. I turned 36 last week and it is more important to me then ever to be as sustainable as I can and low tox as possible. There’s a huge trend of tallow skincare happening and it is for good reason. At first I thought it was a bit yuk (for those unfamiliar, tallow is beef fat) however the Ancient greeks and Romans used it for centuries..and it works!.

The Law of Attraction and how it changed my life
October 12, 2021

So if I wanted to summarise what the Law of Attraction is, I would say, The law of attraction is a law of the Universe that basically means we are all connected through vibration and frequency and what we think, say, and feel basically determines our future. Everything is energy and we are able to determine the frequency in which we want to be on.
