I was trying to find a good replacement for discontinued L.O.V. Aura Glow Powder which is one of my favorite highlighters from the drugstore. I got Kiko Milano Glow Fusion Powder Highlighter in their lightest shade and I have to say this is very similar to the type of glow it has. Obviously the shade isn't the same, but I was going more for the overall subtle sheen which this one has. 

These are makeup products that I have been wearing the most in 2025. They may not be new, but they were relatively new to me. I also included some of my all time favorites which I always repurchase and use.  

I am three months too late for this post, but since having a baby, I have a lot less time for anything else. So I think this is post is long overdue, but it's still here. Since I won't have time for monthly favorites anymore, I can at least do yearly. Here is all the skin and body care I loved previous year.

Some makeup products like foundations, concealers, mascaras, powders can be very hard to buy for others, because everyone has specific skin tone and taste. But there are some makeup products that I have been loving this year and that I think are foolproof choices for certain makeup lovers. It's a gift guide on what and for who I would buy some of these picks as the holidays are fast approaching and I may help you with some last minute ideas, if you are still searching for what's worth it. Most of these are very affordable too, so great stocking stuffers as well. 

I have tried a few beauty tools and you either love them and use them regularly in your skincare routine or you forget about them. I have to admit most of my beauty tools stay in the drawer and come out a few times a year when I actually remember to use them. Except for LED Face Mask from CurrentBody. I have the Series 1 version and that is the only beauty tool that I actually use every week for at least three times a week, sometimes even more. I use it on my face as well as on my hands. I was glad to get a chance to try the new and improved Series 2 version of the LED mask.

This year I decided to do my yearly makeup favorites in a way that I covered every category. I included new makeup products that I discovered last year and some old classics that I have loved for years and years. It's also my most used and my favorite makeup products from 2024. 

Here is another group post of latest skincare that I used up or am about to. This part is about toner, serums, moisturizers and SPFs.
