NYX Bare With Me Tinted Skin Veil And Hydrating Cheek Tint

Bare With Me is a new collection from NYX for the summer. The collection focuses on sheer textures in neutral tones with a lightweight feel that is perfect for the humid summer months. I tried out the Tinted Skin Veil ($19; ulta.com) and the Hydrating Cheek Tint ($10; ulta.com) from the collection and they’re both quite lovely if you want a quick no makeup makeup look. Cinnamon Mahogany from the Tinted Skin Veil is a perfect match for my skin tone and the formula is a sheer-medium coverage buildable one that can be just blended using fingers. I found the finish to be very natural that covers lightly and looks like my skin but better. If you do have a good amount of blemishes, you would need a concealer to cover those. The Hydrating Cheek Tint is a cream blush that has a dewy finish. The texture is gel like and goes on effortlessly to blend. A little goes a really long way with this one and the formula is perfect for anyone with dry skin since it doesn’t enlarge pores or dry patches. I tried the color Do Me Right , which is a great pop of plum that looks gorgeous on medium-dark skin tones.

Alterna Caviar Anti-Aging Rapid Blowout Balm and Luxe Cream Gel

The Rapid Blowout Balm and Luxe Cream Gel ($30 each; ulta.com) are two new hair styling products from Alterna’s Caviar Anti-Aging range that I’m currently loving. They’re both Perfect for thin hair that gets frizzy easily and also time saving products. The Rapid Blowout Balm is a silky blowout balm that protects, smoothens and also speeds up blow drying time adding a lot of shine. Its a quick absorbing balm that helps maintain the frizz-free look and also adds a lot of bounce to hair without weighing it down. The Luxe Creme Gel is a strong hold gel cream that sculpts for curls and provides a strong and flexible hold without making hair too crunchy. Its a lightweight gel and a little goes a really long way and isn’t too sticky as well. Overall, great products for anyone wanting heat protection from hair styling tools and the Rapid Blowout Balm in particular is awesome for all hair types pre-styling.
