Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Cheek Tint Blush

Armani Beauty's Luminous Silk Cheek Tint ($39; sephora.com) is a fabulously blendable liquid blush that has been my go to recently for a quick and easy minimal makeup look. Its a super lightweight formula with a gel-like liquid texture that is easy to apply and blend with fingers or a brush. The colors look very pigmented, but sheer out to a really nice, natural glow that looks like a satin finish on the skin. Bold Pink is a cool toned pastel pink with slight blue tone, Rosy Peach is a, fresh light peach with a hint of orange, Vivid Coral is a peachy coral that is bold, but very wearable for most skin tones and Delicate Mauve is a mauve-plum that sheers out to a not so bold berry. The formula is thin, the wand is perfect for a few dabs of product and the packaging is easy to travel with as well. 

I love the natural flush that comes from these blushes and the ease of application even for a blush noob. My skin is on the drier side and this is a perfect formual for someone like me that doesn't emphasize my texture. Overall, if you like lightweight, quick and easy to use blushes in a smooth formula, I would highly recommend these! Scroll down for swatches and a quick video of these fabulous blushes!

Bubble Skincare | Quick Reviews

Bubble Skincare is new to me and I tried a few of their affordable, yet well formulated skincare recently. I loved the packaging and how easy it is to differentiate products and how effective some of the formulas are for the price.

The Slam Dunk Hydrating Moisturizer ($16; ulta.com) is a lightweight, yet rich moisturizer that works for most skin types. I love the packaging and how easy it is to dispense and also keeps it hygienic without having to dip my fingers into a jar. I like how it feels and how quickly absorbs and also layers really well under makeup.

The Deep Dive Exfoliating Mask ($18; ulta.com) is probably my most favorite Bubble product so far. Its a quick exfoliating mask that helps exfoliate, brighten and even skin out without drying it too much. It is a tad strong and I like to use it once a week. I leave it on for 5-10 minutes and wash off with a warm washcloth. I prefer doing this in the night time and also follow up with a good moisturizer afterwards.

The Day Dream Vitamin C + Niacinamide Tone & Texture Serum ($17; ulta.com) is a super lightweight serum that brightens and evens out skin tone. The texture is quick absorbing and works better by itself, so I like to layer it along my nightly skincare routine.

The Morning Rays Brightening Eye Cream ($14; ulta.com) is a lightly hydrating eye cream for daytime that can be layered under makeup as well. The texture is fast absorbing and doesn't feel too heavy or greasy.

The Plus One Tinted Daily Mineral Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 40 ($19; ulta.com) is a tinted mineral sunscreen with SPF 40. Initial application does feel a tad rich for a sunscreen, but it absorbs in quickly and the white cast also settles in well even on my medium skin tone. I prefer mineral SPFs during the summer and this one is one I'd recommend if you are looking for an affordable sunscreen with a gentle formula.

Lawless Forget The Filler Line Smoothing Lip Gloss | Strawberry Sugar Gloss Collection

Lawless' Forget The Filler Line Smoothing Lip Gloss ($26; sephora.com) is a smooth, shiny, plumping gloss with skincare benefits that plumps without irritation and adds moisture. I tired three of their summer colors that are part of the Strawberry Sugar Gloss Collection, mostly sheer pinks which can be layered or worn by itself and absolutely loved the formula. The wand is thick, but not overly so and the shape helps add color without overdoing it. Strawberry Milkshake is a Milky, Soft Cool pink, Strawberry Popsicle is a Sheer Medium Pink and Strawberry Shortcake is a sheer, shimmery nude pink. The glosses smell fantastic, a very sweet scent that isn't cloying or too strong. I love how moisturizing these feel on the lips and how nicely they go on while smoothing lip lines while plumping in a natural, comfortable way. Overall, definitely recommend these if you are looking for a clean gloss formula that works to smoothen lips while adding a good amount of moisture.
