Let's Talk: Luxury Beauty


Ooh la la! Luxury beauty products have always been a passion of mine (or addiction, depends who you ask), so I've decided to round up some of my faves and share them with you. All of these products are 1) ones I've used up and repurchased 2) products that I truly believe are worth your hard earned money. Most of them are base products, because those are the products I think you should invest in the most but I promise that I will put up some posts luxury eyes and lippie products too! 

Laura Mercier Flawless Fusion Ultra-Longwear Foundation
Ultra matte, ultra long wearing, ultra amazing! This is my go to foundation in the summer. It is full coverage, blends well and lasts all day. It's so matte that sometimes I skip the setting powder just wear foundation. 

$63 at Sephora.

Lancome Effacernes Waterproof Concealer 
I don't have words to describe how much I love this concealer. I've purchased it countless times, and never had any complaints about the product. It covers dark circles, doesn't crease and can be set with a light dusting of powder. I will say that after a while you need to shake the product before using as it can separate a little bit if not used in a while.

Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder for Under Eyes
I've always struggled with dark circles and so used a heavy concealer underneath my eyes, but also unfortunately always struggled to find a setting powder that did not make my undereyes look dry, or cake to the concealer. Until I started using this powder, that is! The brightening effects is subtle, but the powder is finely milled, doesn't cake and keeps my under eye concealer is place all day.

Laura Mercier Candleglow Sheer Perfecting Powder
I love to dust this powder over my matte foundations! It brings my skin back to life, and gives you a gorgeous glow with any glitter or blinding shimmer. Very pricy, but lasts a long time! I would compare it to the Hourglass Ambient Light Powders, but it's a much more subtle version. 

$50 at Sephora.

Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder
A holy grail for a reason! While I don't love this powder for baking, I do love it for setting my face. It stands up to the 80% humidity and keeps my face matte. Another perk? You get a ton of product! 

$51 at Sephora.

Tom Ford Lip Colour in Scarlet Rouge
The most luxurious and expensive lipstick that I own, and my favourite red. Is it a ridiculous price? Yes! But do you get what you pay for? Also, yes! This lipstick lasts all day, doesn't fade, and is very very pigmented. If your lips are a bit dry, it won't settle into the fine lines, or make you lips look flakey. It goes on smooth, and lasts that way all day.  If I could only bring one lipstick to a desert island, this would be the one.

Summer Lace OOTD and Natural Makeup Tutorial

Hello everyone! Today's OOTD is my favourite summer look. Lace, loose waves, and a natural makeup look. It was nice and warm today so I brought out one of my favourite dresses. It is from American Eagle, and was given to me by one of my friends a few years ago. I like that it is strapless as when I am outside enjoying the sunshine I don't have to worry about awkward tan lines! I went with a natural and glowing makeup look today, and I even filmed it for you! You can watch the video below. It is inspired by the gorgeous Gigi Hadid. xx Jess Instagram: jessicakinnari
