Brighter, healthier and glowy skin


Recently with the whole wedding preparation I have started to be obsessed with having glowy skin. As, after few reads I found out is the main thing your skin should be doing while having the big day, I just had to dig more and find the perfect products, makeup items that will help achieve the perfect bridal skin. 

And let me start with, thank God there is makeup and we can help fake some of it. 
As a constant biggest judge of my skin, I sometimes feel it can get closer to my desired finish, but when, oh, when? 

I have inserted few products into my skincare and as well makeup routine that I believe are helping with me going the path I am currently desiring.




1. Skincare

The best is definitely to start with your skincare routine and making sure that either chemical exfoliation or the manual on is part of it. I personally prefer to use exfoliating toners on an everyday basis and then help with masks a little as well. There is Ren Glycolactic radiance renewal mask, Liquid Gold smoothing & Perfecting mask, but my all time favourite is Clinique turnaround instant facial as it gives the results of brighter, smoother skin, but is very gentle (and plus I look like smurf when I wear it;))

Having a moisturiser or a serum that helps brighten skin is always amazing plus, I like to have a night treat that gives me smooth and healthy skin in the morning. I am currently using Clinique Turnaround (from the same line) overnight moisturiser. I would really like to try the Bodyshop vitamin E serum-in-oil which sounds amazing (and when tried on hand in the store, I feel very tempted).


2. Primer

Shall we come to faking the glow now?:) I absolutely adore illuminating primers because they really work. Well, plus some other amazing products, but trust me, people will tell that you are glowing, well, at least the ones around me can always tell when I try to give extra glow or not. Anywas, my all time favourite is L'oreal lump magique which I talked about for ages, but currently I wanted to treat myself for wedding and go for something more luxurious and got Tom Ford Illuminating primer. So far tried it few times and really like, but proper review will be coming your way soon. 


3. Powder

If you are going all glowy and then set all of your base with a matte powder, all of the work was for nothing. Therefore I love to set my foundation with illuminating powder. I currently made a review of Bourjois Java rice powder which I love, but when I finished it and checked that it lasted for 4 months, I wanted to check if there is anything that might be a better value. And I did. Bourjois java rice powder is  £9.99 for 3.5g and Bare minerals Illuminating mineral veil is £20 for 9g. 


4. Highlighter
If you are not a fan of highlighting powder and you like to highlight only certain part of the skin, there are liquids, cream and powders. For example I have here Smashbox artificial light (liquid), Tom Ford Shade and illuminate (cream) and Mac Soft and gentle mineralise skin finish. My favourite is Probably Mac one as it is the easiest to apply on an everyday basis.

Are any of you ladies into glowy skin as well? Any tips or products that work for you? Share, please, I would love to hear your recommendations:)

Have a great day everyone:)
