My Favorite Gifts This Year: Giving with Intention and Living with Purpose – Fashion Blog SXM

by Lina Clémence June 15, 2025

written by Lina Clémence

The holidays are here, and as I reflect on the season of giving, I’m reminded of the power of intentionality. This year, my focus is on gifts that hold meaning—ones that inspire joy, celebrate connections, and create lasting memories. Whether it’s the elegance of a timeless piece of jewelry or the experience of self-care and family togetherness, I’m choosing to give gifts that align with my values. Let me share some of my favorites this year and inspire you to give with intention too!

Panache St. Maarten is at the top of my list when finding that perfect gift. This boutique is home to exclusive brands like Qudo, Coeur de Lion, and Sif Jacobs, offering jewelry that speaks volumes. Panache’s collection is perfect for celebrating the women in your life, whether it’s a sparkling bracelet, a bold statement necklace, or an elegant pair of earrings. And if you’re unsure what to pick, you can book a styling session to make the experience even more personalized. Better yet, consider gifting a Styling Gift Card, allowing your loved ones to choose something that resonates with their style.

Another gift idea close to my heart is the gift of self-care. In the hustle and bustle of daily life, we often forget to prioritize ourselves. This year, I’m gifting spa days, travel vouchers, and even solo getaways to those I love (and maybe to myself, too!). These moments of peace and rejuvenation are invaluable—they remind us to pause, reflect, and recharge. Whether it’s a massage, a weekend retreat, or an afternoon of pampering, self-care is a gift that keeps on giving.

Of course, the holidays are about more than just material gifts—they’re about creating quality time with family. This year, I’m planning to gift experiences that bring us together, from cooking classes to family outings. These shared moments foster deeper connections and leave a lasting impact, reminding us why we cherish each other so much. Consider gifting something that facilitates these experiences, like tickets to an event or even a beautifully curated dinner at home.

As I plan my gifts this season, I’ve also realized the importance of timeless pieces—items that will be cherished for years to come. A piece from Panache’s collection fits perfectly here. With its attention to detail, craftsmanship, and exclusivity, it’s more than just jewelry; it’s a memory, a celebration, a story. Don’t miss the chance to shop for these meaningful gifts and make someone’s holiday truly magical.

To inspire intentional giving, Kerai Kreative Style is here to help you celebrate purpose and thoughtfulness. Visit our website to explore how we can help make your holiday gift special. Whether it’s a styling session, a Styling Gift Card, or a timeless piece from Panache, we’re ready to bring your vision to life.

This year, let’s make our gifts count. Let’s give with meaning, choose with care, and live with purpose. Let’s create joy, inspire gratitude, and share experiences that matter. Because at the end of the day, the best gifts aren’t just things—they’re the love, thought, and intention behind them. Start your journey to intentional giving today by visiting Panache St. Maarten or booking a session with Kerai Kreative Style.
Let’s make this season unforgettable. ��✨

Embrace the Vibrancy: Pantone Color of the Year 2025 and Why You Should Wear It – Fashion Blog SXM

Embracing Mocha Mouse: The Plus-Size Guide to Pantone’s Color of the Year 2025

Every year, we look forward to Pantone unveiling their Color of the Year, and for 2025, they’ve given us a timeless, versatile beauty: Mocha Mousse. A warm and inviting shade with hints of neutral brown and gray undertones, this color exudes sophistication, calm, and subtle strength. For plus-size fashionistas, this color speaks volumes, offering endless styling opportunities while staying grounded in comfort and elegance. Let’s dive into the magic of Mocha Mousse and discover how it can become your ultimate go-to hue this year.

Kenty Lichtenberg Fasion Blogger SXM Wearing a Brown Dress — Mocha & oversize…the trends of 2025. Do not feel intimidated by any of them, plus size women can also dress in oversize. In this look, we belted so that we could define and enhance our waistline. It also helps that this is a PLUS size belt and, therefore, it will hug your curves completely differently! (Dress available at T’s Closet)

What Does Mocha Mousse Represent?

Mocha Mousse is more than just a shade—it’s a mood. It embodies connection, warmth, and balance, making it the perfect color for 2025 as we continue to seek calm and authenticity in an ever-changing world. For the plus-size community, this shade holds a special resonance: it’s universally flattering, understated yet powerful, and versatile enough to suit every occasion. Mocha Mouse invites you to
embrace your curves and express your style with quiet confidence.

Styling Mocha Mousse: Chic and Casual

For everyday looks, Mocha Mousse works beautifully in soft, breathable fabrics like linen, cotton, or jersey. Pair a relaxed Mocha Mousse blouse with classic high-waisted jeans or tailored trousers for an effortless yet polished vibe. Add some contrast with a pop of color—think mustard-yellow accessories or teal sneakers to create depth. For those who love layering, a cozy oversized cardigan in Mocha Mousse paired with leggings and ankle boots is perfect for running errands or lounging in style.

The Pantone color: Let’s take a look, up close & personal.

Elevating Mocha Mousse for Special Occasions

Mocha Mousse shines just as brightly in formal wear, making it an excellent choice for weddings, galas, or evening events. A plus-size A-line dress in this shade with subtle metallic detailing will make you feel like a goddess. Pair it with gold or rose gold jewelry to highlight the warmth of the tone. For a bold statement, opt for monochromatic styling by layering textures—think a satin Mocha Mousse maxi dress with a faux-fur shawl or a structured blazer for added drama.

Accessorizing with Mocha Mousse

If you’re not ready to dive headfirst into wearing Mocha Mousse, start with accessories. A leather crossbody bag or a pair of pointed-toe flats in this shade will seamlessly blend into your wardrobe. Wide belts in Mocha Mousse can cinch your favorite dresses or jumpsuits, highlighting your curves in all the right ways. Scarves, hats, and even nail polish in this tone can subtly tie your look together, giving you a
cohesive and trendy vibe.

Explore and experiment with the various shades of Mocha, and give it your interpretation and flare, this way, you will never feel as if it is being forced! (belts available at T’s Closet)

Make Mocha Mousse Your Favorite Color Yet

Mocha Mousse is more than a trend; it’s a color that invites us to embrace our individuality and celebrate our natural beauty. For plus-size individuals, it offers a world of styling possibilities that are as comfortable as they are chic. Whether you’re dressing for a casual day out or an elegant evening affair,

Mocha Mousse serves as a reminder that style knows no size constraints. Therefore, don’t hesitate to explore this adaptable hue—embrace it, play with it, and allow it to become a key part of your 2025 wardrobe. Here’s to a year of honoring curves and hues that uplift us to feel our very best!

Finding the Perfect Brush – Fresh Salon Blog

by Lina Clémence June 10, 2025

written by Lina Clémence

Round. Square. Vented. How do you pick the perfect brush? And should you have more than one? Turns out a hair brush is like a make-up brush. You need more than one. You wouldn’t use the same brush for eye make-up and blush, and you can’t count on one hair brush to create volume or straighten your hair. Here are some basic usages for brushes we love from ARROJO, all available at Fresh Salon:

Round Paddle Brush: A mixture of nylon and boar bristles make this a great brush to straighten and smooth hair. If you’re looking to kill the frizz, try the ARROJO Round Paddle.

Medium Round Brush: Perfect to add volume, this brush is great for for mid-length hair. Wrap hair around the brush and you’ll create soft curls without using a heated styling tool.

Detangling Brush: No one wants to pull and damage wet, tangled hair. This brush has nylon bristles and and will help you smooth your hair easily. Go from the shower to the mirror and brush with ease using the Wet detangling brush.

It isn’t, contrary to its name, an actual poll, like with little clicky buttons. It’s just a list of more or less random questions I’ve been posting on this blog every Monday morning for the past quadrillion years <strong>(since 2007)</strong>.</p> </blockquote> <h3>1. Loose or fitted t-shirts?</h3> <p>Generally, I like my tees slightly loose-y goose-y if I’m wearing them with jeans or shorts. If I’m layering with a sweater or a sweatshirt on top, then fitted. </p> <h3>2. What’s the oldest thing in your makeup bag right now?</h3> <p>Hmm, the brushes? Oh, and I’m almost embarrassed to say this out loud, but I have an ancient Nordstrom Naturals MAC palette that I bust out every so often. </p> <h3>3. How’s your June going so far? </h3> <p>It’s been very, very busy with end-of-the-year activities, dance things and whatnot. Things will kinda slow down after June 30, which I’m looking forward to. </p> <h3>4. How do you feel about walking around in sandals or flip flops without your toenails painted?</h3> <p>I like my toe nails to be painted a fun color, but I don’t stress if I don’t get around to a weekly pedicure. </p> <h3>5. What are you happy about right now?</h3> <p>Well, today’s my birthday, and I’m overjoyed to say that I’m healthy and I’m alive! Having health scares will do that to ya, I guess. I’m also happy to be surrounded by the people I love the most. Oh, and the opportunity to do something creative that’s just for me (like the Monday poll) is the icing on the cake. I’ve been on the verge of happy tears all day. It’s been a great! </p> <p>Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,</p> <p>Karen</p> <p>P.S.

What a break it has been. I am making a comeback, rejuvenated refreshed and ready to create content after becoming a licensed esthetician! It has been a long journey and an evolution, to be a bit dramatic, but I’m proud to have made it back here here. This post took me an entire week from start to finish as I’m rusty beyond belief.</p> <p>It feels a bit unfamiliar since this is my first foray into blogging in over a year, and I’m learning everything all over again with a new camera among other aspects, so I decided to start with what is essentially a list of the products I’ve loved this year and am continuing to use into the Fall season. </p> <p>Grab that cup of coffee or tea and let’s get started! </p> <p><span/><span></span></p> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></p> <div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1554" height="604" src="https://glow-vogue.site/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/gotosnacksizeminisreview.jpg" width="458"/></div> </div> <p><b>Go-To Skin Care Snack Pack</b> <span style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(35, 35, 35); color: #232323; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px;">— </span>This Australian brand is gosh darn phenomenal. I had to start with the Snack Size Minis because Go-To is totally underrated in the American market, and that makes me sad because their simple approach to skin care is spot on! Go-To’s philosophy is simple and fuss-free way. Their marketing is upbeat, clever, and hilarious yet totally informative and their branding is peach, my favorite color. Most importantly, Go-To is a gem in the current skin care market because they don’t spread misinformation to sell you products that you do not need. </p> <p>The travel sized goodies in the <b><span style="color: #ea9999;">Snack Size Set</span></b> are the perfect introduction to the brand, but it’s a limited edition set so order yours asap! Plus I’m a complete and utter sucker for those acrylic zippy bags lol I’ll be purchasing a few more sets to give as Christmas gifts. I almost exclusively oil cleanse, and the <span style="color: #ea9999;"><b>Fancy Face Oil Cleanser</b></span> is one of my Top 3 picks of all time which is why I was ecstatic to see it in mini form with a dropper. It feels comforting and luxe because the texture is so plush, and it lifts all traces of unwanted sunscreen makeup and secreted sebum at the end of the day. </p> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" border="0" data-original-height="1422" data-original-width="2048" height="434" src="https://glow-vogue.site/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/raeviewgotosnackpack.jpg" width="625"/></div> <p>Apply Fancy Face to a dry face with dry clean hands. Massage for 30 seconds then wipe clean with the provided muslin cloth (dampened with warm water and wrung out). Their gentle foaming <b><span style="color: #ea9999;">Properly Clean Cleanser</span></b> is also brilliant if you don’t oil cleanse. I finished up my first bottle and purchased a second to use in the mornings when I’m in a rush. </p> <p>Another thing that I love about Go-To is that their signature <b><span style="color: #ea9999;">Face Hero Face Oil</span></b> functions as an anti-inflammatory serum so to speak because you use it BEFORE their Very Useful moisturizer. I like to use 3 drops over face, neck and chest in the morning and 5 drops at night. It’s calming and versatile. If you’re feeling extra dry, mix a drop into your foundation for extra glow and glide. </p> <p>Please note: this process does not apply to all oils and all moisturizers. But Go-To designed their oil to be a lightweight powerhouse that absorbs quickly, and their simple three step routine is more than enough to keep your face balanced especially when your skin is overly sensitized, compromised or stressed. </p> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" border="0" data-original-height="1563" data-original-width="2048" height="473" src="https://glow-vogue.site/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/raeviewgotoskincarereview.jpg" width="620"/></div> <p>Last but not least, Go-To’s full-sized <b><span style="color: #ea9999;">Very Useful Face Cream</span></b> moisturizer comes in my preferred 50mL tube. It is my product of choice for mornings post-Tretinoin (rx Retin-A) as my skin is usually dry and dehydrated from the new treatment. My skin is at the end of the first month of adjustment so Very Useful has been essential as it restores my skin’s hydration levels and makes my skin feel supple without being excessively occlusive or leaving a greasy film. </p> <p style="text-align: left;">In the Snack Pack, it comes in a tiny 15mL jar but this way I can refill it easily and sanitize it easily as well. The 100ml Very Useful moisturizer comes in a large jar, though I recommend buying squeeze tube or pump packaging when available.</p> <p style="text-align: left;">You can purchase <b><span style="color: #444444;">Go-To through their website</span></b> which gives you the option of choosing a promotional gift like the peach and gold <i>NICE! </i>keychain above. How cool is that?</p> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1365" height="690" src="https://glow-vogue.site/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/skinceuticalsphloretincfgelreview.jpg" width="458"/></div> <p style="text-align: left;"><b>SkinCeuticals Phloretin C F Gel</b> <span style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(35, 35, 35); color: #232323; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px;">— </span>SkinCeuticals is the gold standard for Vitamin C serums. Why? Their patented formulas ensure stability, penetration, correct pH and efficacy. Pure Vitamin C or L-ascorbic acid is highly unstable and most Vitamin C serums on the market do not penetrate the skin barrier. They simply sit on the surface of the skin. Clinical research doesn’t mean everything and it certainly doesn’t guarantee results, but when it comes to Vitamin C, I have only repurchased SkinCeuticals. My skin was not cooperating with their famed <span style="color: #ea9999;"><b>C E Ferulic serum</b></span> when I first tried it on recommendation from my dermatologist, but I think I’ll go back to it and try again now that my skin is back to dry. </p> <p style="text-align: left;">SkinCeuticals recommended that I try the Phloretin C F Gel since it is better tolerated by those with oily acne prone skin. It absolutely helped with my hyperpigmentation, and I will continue to keep it in rotation but next time I plan to try the standard <b><span style="color: #444444;">Phloretin C F serum</span></b> not the gel version. I’d like to give those who are interested some comparative feedback! </p> <p style="text-align: left;">The 2% phloretin, 10% pure vitamin C, and 0.5% ferulic acid in the Gel formula neutralizes free radicals while absorbing immediately upon application, making it the ideal daytime serum. The lower Vitamin C level makes it easier for the skin to adjust, especially if you’ve never used a Vitamin C before. More does not mean better! The gel is an orange color and the smell of it bothered me at first because it has a vinegary, medicinal note but I’m glad they didn’t try to cover up its natural smell with fragrances. If you have discoloration and textural issues like I do, give <span style="color: #ea9999;"><b>Phloretin C F Gel</b></span> a try!</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" border="0" data-original-height="1366" data-original-width="2048" height="414" src="https://glow-vogue.site/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/raeviewfall2020skincare.jpg" width="621"/></p> <p style="text-align: left;"><b>Kerastase Genesis Strengthening Blow Dry Primer</b> <span style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(35, 35, 35); color: #232323; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px;">— </span>This leave in spray treatment for fine hair is ultra lightweight and it works. It detangles, hydrates, and adds shine. Yes, I’m sure there are more affordable options out there but I love the spray nozzle because it doesn’t clog. It also does not cause “backne” which is awesome since my back is easily broken out or irritated by leave in products. User experience is important to me and the bottle is easy to grip, and 4-5 sprays into my palms can coat all the ends of my hair. I find that this formula is hydrating enough without leaving an undesirable residue behind like other heavier more intensive treatments I have tried. </p> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1365" height="694" src="https://glow-vogue.site/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/raeviewkerastaseblowdryprimer.jpg" width="462"/></div> <p style="text-align: left;">If you use an oil for medium to thick locks, this <b><span style="color: #ea9999;">Genesis Strengthening Blow Dry Primer</span></b> is not the product for you as it’s specifically formulated for fine hair. I highly recommend this leave in because my hair is far less frizzy with visibly noticeable fewer split ends even when air dried. When I blow dry, I spray roots to tips with this stuff and it’s so light that it doesn’t take away from the volume that I work so hard, sweating and straining, to achieve with my round brush. </p> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1285" height="726" src="https://glow-vogue.site/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/oribeserenescalpsprayreview.jpg" width="456"/></div> <p style="text-align: left;"><b>Oribe Serene Scalp Thickening Treatment Spray</b> <span style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(35, 35, 35); color: #232323; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px;">— </span>My scalp has had on and off issues with dandruff and significant thinning in the last year, and I figured it was time to get product to help it. Oribe says this treatment will “fortify the scalp to promote fuller, thicker, healthier looking hair” and I can attest to that. I had tried the Oribe Volumista Mist in the past when I had red hair, but it did nothing for volume and felt rather like an old lady’s hair spray overall. </p> <p style="text-align: left;">It has since been reformulated and is in the sleeker more elegant packaging style but I’ll stay the course with this <b><span style="color: #ea9999;">Serene Scalp Mist</span></b> in pink packaging because it is so refreshing on my scalp and there is no more dandruff. Also I treat this as a styling product, not a solution to my hair’s thinness. I try my best not to have unrealistic expectations of products. It pairs very well with the Kerastase Primer, and together, I think they give my recent (regretful) kpop haircut a bit more oomph! </p> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" height="412" src="https://glow-vogue.site/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/ouaibyredodryshampooreview.jpg" width="618"/></div> <p style="text-align: left;"><b>OUAI Byredo Dry Shampoo</b> <span style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(35, 35, 35); color: #232323; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px;">—</span> The fragrance is a bit intense than I expected but the formula is more than satisfactory. In fact, I’m pretty impressed with Jen Atkin’s line and I use her shampoos along with some other styling products even though I find other celebrity stylists’ ranges totally overrated. I primarily purchased this for the packaging because I adore Byredo, can’t lie, but it is the ideal product for controlling the oil that builds up on my bangs. It’s limited edition and exclusive to Sephora so I’ve since ordered two back ups from Sephora, and I don’t even like dry shampoo lol. I normally use Miriam Quevedo dry shampoo which is super expensive, but I’m happy to add this to the rotation for second hair days. </p> <p style="text-align: left;">Dry shampoos cause scalp flaking and irritation (due to the film it creates), and that definitely applies to my sensitive scalp if I use dry shampoo multiple days in a row so I keep it to one application between washings. To clarify, I only use this <b><span style="color: #ea9999;">OUAI Byredo Dry Shampoo</span></b> on my bangs, and a little goes a long way. Also, the internet is full of women who go a whole week without washing due to thin hair or hair color, and they’re apparently able to use dry shampoo daily but please note that this is unhealthy for your scalp’s health. </p> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1365" height="677" src="https://glow-vogue.site/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/raeviewitcosmeticscccream.jpg" width="452"/></div> <p><b>IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC+ Cream</b> <span style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(35, 35, 35); color: #232323; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px;">— </span>I ordered this formula in the silver packaging and enjoyed it so much that I ordered the Oil-Free Matte SPF 40 formula in the green packaging. I prefer the matte at the moment due to my bangs but come winter, I will wear the original most days. The original SPF 50+ version provides the most lovely glow! Setting with powder is unnecessary since the formula is long wearing. I saw it on my beautiful coworker and she has extremely sensitive acneic skin so please give this a try if you have yet to find a foundation that works for you.</p> <p>I wear both in Fair, which is does mean that the shades run dark quite dark since I am technically in the Light-Medium category in most foundations. When comparing the shades, Fair in the <b><span style="color: #ea9999;">original CC+ Cream SPF 50+</span></b> is a smidge lighter (right swatch) than its oil-free counterpart with cooler more pink undertones, while Fair in the <b><span style="color: #ea9999;">matte CC+ Cream SPF 40</span></b> (left swatch) is a half a shade darker than the og formula with noticeably warmer yellow undertones <span style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(35, 35, 35); color: #232323; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px;">— </span>which makes it the perfect match for my current skin tone. I hope they expand the shade range for fair skinned women since most of my girl friends would need an Ivory shade or even lighter, to be frank. This is great news for those with tan and dark skin, however, as you’re likely to find a shade match!</p> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1365" height="676" src="https://glow-vogue.site/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/itcosmeticscccreamswatchesfair.jpg" width="450"/></div> <p>The coverage is impressive, but one issue I have is that the pump is far too generous. I only need to use an extra small pearl sized amount for my entire face and neck plus I have extra to apply on healing hyperpigmentation. You’d have to use an insane cake face amount to get the advertised sunscreen protection level so please apply a broad spectrum SPF as the last step of your skin care routine and let it set before applying the CC+ Cream. The original formula feels luxuriously creamy, while the matte formula feels supremely velvety. Both are worth every penny. Unfortunately, I purchased both in Light originally which is a bummer but I’ll be gifting them to my coworker! </p> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" height="409" src="https://glow-vogue.site/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/cosmedixopticrystalreview.jpg" width="614"/></div> <p><b>Cosmedix Opti Crystal Eye Serum</b> <span style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(35, 35, 35); color: #232323; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px;">— </span>I’m not a huge fan of eye products because most don’t make a visible enough difference to justify the costs. I’ve never had a holy grail eye product until now, but this feels unlike anything else on the market. The pearlescent color is beautiful but hardly noticeable once it’s on my face. The texture is shockingly viscous and tacky. I actually love that but <b><span style="color: #ea9999;">Opti Crystal</span></b> might not appeal to everyone due to the learning curve which is why I assume it has some negative reviews. </p> <p>Squeeze out a pin-sized drop and gently rub it between ring fingers to warm it up (about 10 seconds) before applying. I pat it on from inner corner to outer corner, tapping firmly to create circulation which helps to temporarily diminish dark circles. I then take the residue on my finger pads and apply it to the brow bone, always using patting motions. Don’t get too close to the tear ducts or lash lines since that can cause swelling and we don’t want to wake up with swollen eyes. Once you get the hang of the application, you’ll start seeing results. The same massaging principle as oil cleansing applies here; take your time and enjoy the process. It takes all of 30 seconds..you can do it! #selflove #selfcare </p> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" height="408" src="https://glow-vogue.site/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/raeviewcosmedixeye.jpg" width="613"/></div> <p>I still use and recommend <span style="background-color: #f4cccc; color: #444444;"><b>PCA Skin Revitalizing Eye Gel</b></span> if you’re looking for something that also performs well but has a gel texture that absorbs quickly and will not cause milia. This is more hydrating on my eyes, and I find it better for day time. It is only product that is approved to use on your eyelids that I can personally vouch for. Same price, similar results, very user friendly. </p> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" border="0" data-original-height="1366" data-original-width="2048" height="402" src="https://glow-vogue.site/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/raeviewlivinglibationsseabuckthorn.jpg" width="604"/></div> <p><b><span style="background-color: white;">Living Libations Best Skin Ever Seabuckthorn</span></b> <span style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(35, 35, 35); color: #232323; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px;">—</span> I gave this oil multi-tasker a try because of another esthetician who recommended it. Because I oil cleanse religiously, I wanted to see if this was as good as she made it sound. The <b><span style="color: #ea9999;">BSE line up by Living Libations</span></b> is meant to be used as cleanser or moisturizer, and it contains seabuckthorn oil, golden jojoba oil, virgin coconut oil, lavender, vetiver, grapefruit, and palmarosa essential oils. You can find Living Libations at other retailers but I prefer to order directly through their site since the batch will be guaranteed fresh, even though the standard Canadian post does take a few weeks. I’d rather wait for the good stuff!</p> <p>My skin abhors coconut oil, and <span style="color: #ea9999;"><b>Best Skin Ever Seabuckthorn</b></span> has a lot of it BUT it totally works wonders now that I figured out the ideal way to use it on my finicky skin. I first followed the directions on the Living Libations website and used 2 pumps on their damp, wrung-out warm hemp washcloth, and it broke out my cheeks and chin with whiteheads. I waited until the reaction cleared up, and a few months later I’m in love with it! </p> <p>The key is to use it like a cleansing oil at first with dry face and clean dry hands. Warm it up between the hands and massage your face slowly for ten to twenty seconds. Using warm water, dampen two cotton rounds and press out the water, using those to cleanse and remove the oil. Take your time and give it about a minute, maybe two, gently gliding the cotton pads around every nook and cranny of your face. I do the same with <b><span style="color: #ea9999;">BSE Sandalwood</span></b>, although I only use that particular oil blend at nighttime. </p> <p>It’s a fantastic manual method of cleansing, same concept as Go-To’s Fancy Face, except I use cotton rounds with BSE instead of a muslin cloth. I’m a fan either way! </p> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1365" height="673" src="https://glow-vogue.site/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/bestskineverseabuckthornreview.jpg" width="447"/></div> <p>Just make sure to remove the traces of any BSE oil by using a toner with a cotton round before applying any serums and moisturizers if you have reactions to coconut oil as I do. And if you hate coconut oil or are allergic to it, I am head over heels for the <b style="background-color: #f4cccc;"><span style="color: #444444;">Sandalwood Best Skin Ever</span></b> which does not contain any! I alternate between the two depending on my mood and what products I’ll be following the BSE with. I also ordered Neroli to try at night time as well, but that won’t be delivered until next week. </p> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" height="400" src="https://glow-vogue.site/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/DrSturmAntiPollutionReview.jpg" width="600"/></b></div> <p><b><br />Dr. Sturm Anti-Pollution Drops</b> <span style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(35, 35, 35); color: #232323; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px;">— </span>This is one of my favorite day time serums. I think my four (nearly) empty bottles are plenty to attest to that. I’m excited to open up my fifth! This thin gel of a serum is the perfect step after toner since it contains hyaluronic acid and sinks in so beautifully while softening my fine lines. It also helps speed up healing my acne, although that is not one of the advertised qualities of the serum. </p> <p>I don’t believe the Anti-Pollution marketing, but it’s a fabulous water-based serum and I use it before LED masking a couple times a week or before spending extended time outdoors. Also, Dr. Sturm’s pipette packaging is phenomenal. The frosted glass feels ultra luxe and does not leak even when traveling. The price is on the high end for a fairly simple ingredient list but this <b><span style="color: #ea9999;">Anti-Pollution Drops serum</span></b> plays well with my dry sensitive skin. I can hardly believe I have kept this in rotation for over a year now. Coming from a skincare junkie who bounces around constantly, that’s a huge vote of confidence! </p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1366" height="670" src="https://glow-vogue.site/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/raeviewdrsturmserum.jpg" width="446"/></p> <p><b>Dermalogica Oil Free Matte Sunscreen</b> <span style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(35, 35, 35); color: #232323; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px;">— </span>I bought it since it’s formulated for acne prone skin. I finished my first tube last week and will be breaking into a brand new one, yipee! It absorbs in about 15 minutes so I try to wait at least ten minutes before applying CC cream or powder foundation. I love that it feels like a rich moisturizer, but it doesn’t clog my pores or feel greasy whatsoever. No maskne here! When it’s hot or humid outside, I’ll actually use <b><span style="color: #ea9999;">Oil Free Matte SPF 30</span></b> in place of a moisturizer, meaning serum then straight to this sunscreen. It is perfect for the summer months as the squeeze tube packaging is travel friendly and I can pop it into my bag for reapplication on the go. </p> <p>Keep in mind that you need to use 1 teaspoon for your whole face and neck. Although I’ll probably switch back to <b style="background-color: #f4cccc;"><span style="color: #444444;">Elta MD UV Clear SPF46</span></b> (which is significantly cheaper especially with the Dermstore subscription discount) come winter, this Dermalogica formula has earned its firm position in my best sunscreen picks! </p> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" border="0" data-original-height="1366" data-original-width="2048" height="399" src="https://glow-vogue.site/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/dermalogicasunscreenraeview.jpg" width="600"/></div> <p><b>Coolibar UPF 50+ Quick Dry Devi Long Sleeves</b> <span style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(35, 35, 35); color: #232323; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px;">— </span>This isn’t a beauty product so it will be a bonus favorite in 11th place, but I discovered Coolibar, a brand developed to protect skin cancer patients, this year and I’m a huge fan of their sun protection hats and clothing. I wore the <span style="color: #ea9999;">Kids’ Stevie Hat in L/XL</span> when I went camping with my boyfriend’s family in Utah and it was a lifesaver. Allen’s mom loved it so much I ordered her one in white to wear while gardening. Any sign of a tan is considered a skin injury, and since I give myself PCA chemical peels regularly, I have become extra aggressive about sun protection! I have thrown all semblance of shame out the window. Even if I look funny or people think I’m strange, I am going to be wearing hats and shields and face coverings of all kinds while outdoors (while still reapplying SPF every hour). </p> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img decoding="async" border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://glow-vogue.site/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/coolibarsteviehat.jpeg"/></div> <p>And if there’s one good thing that came out of the pandemic, it is that wearing a face mask has been normalized! I own the Coolibar face mask as well but my favorite and most frequently worn product they make is the <b><span style="color: #ea9999;">Devi Fitness Long Sleeves</span></b> which I own in black and charcoal heather. It’s so comfortable and fits well, dries fast when it gets sweaty, has thumb holes to cover the backs of my hands, and is long enough to cover my bum or not ride up! Size up as UPF 50+ clothing is meant to be worn a little loose. You don’t want to stretch the garments because that reduces the sun protection. </p> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img decoding="async" border="0" data-original-height="1795" data-original-width="1440" height="320" src="https://glow-vogue.site/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/raeviewcoolibar.jpeg"/></div> <p>It is approximated that 50-80% of total UV damage occurs before the age of 21, and that is mostly the damage that I’m currently trying to undo. I have to admit before I was 21, I hated the feeling of sunscreen and refused to wear it daily even though I knew I should. My grandmother would harass us, so I would use Shiseido liquid chemical or Clinique tinted mineral sunscreens sometimes. Not consistently, of course. Running cross country, playing tennis, and sweating outdoors in general made me averse to sunscreen but now I wear sunscreen religiously. Please be advised that even if you’re at home all day, if you open up the blinds you need to wear sunscreen and reapply between 11am to 1pm because UVA the aging rays still penetrate through windows which cause wrinkles and can worsen hyperpigmentation! </p> <p style="text-align: center;">~</p> <p style="text-align: center;">Okay, here’s the life update for those who are interested: </p> <p style="text-align: center;">Life has been wild. </p> <p>In a nutshell 2019 was arguably the most difficult year of my life. I was too emotionally, mentally, and physically drained to think about blogging and taking photos, much less shooting tutorials or review videos. It was so tumultus, from growing pains to moving twice to going back to school, to juggling two esthetician jobs while rediscovering San Diego plus weekend wedding makeup gigs, and strangest of all <span style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(35, 35, 35); color: #232323; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px;">— </span>finally getting settled with working.. <i>NOT </i>from home and <i>NOT</i> being the boss. </p> <p>As strange as that might sound to some, I worked for myself and by myself throughout my entire 20s. I was the boss! My own boss. The transition was challenging at times, but I have found happiness in far fewer responsibilities and a lighter workload. I feel significantly less pressure to be thin and styled and trendy, and that, I think, lifted most of the unbearable anxiety that I suffered from in my young adult years. </p> <p>Of course there are new problems, like carpal tunnel from repetitive facial motions and early onset arthritis which I believe to be genetic. Now that I am nearing 32, my body is changing in ways I never expected it to! I have pain in my lower back and for most of 2020, I was bloated from either drinking alcohol during the beginning of the lock down and then later on from the heavy weight gain due to the excess sweets (although it is totally my own fault as I was too lazy and not disciplined enough to exercise at home). Props to all of you who did not succumb to the Pandemic 15!!</p> <p>Now that I am focused more than ever on skin care and health from the inside out, specifically gut health, I have begun a second foray into vegan food. I won’t be committing to it full time, as I don’t see it being sustainable for the rest of my life, but I have largely cut out all protein other than fish and shellfish. Now I eat a ton more vegetables and have banned candy and almost all processed sugar from the pantry. My motivation is due to my lifelong IBS and the 25 pounds I have put on since Summer 2019. </p> <p>It is a bit worrisome that I was 105 pounds, my usual weight, when I first moved back down to San Diego and gained what is essentially a healthy pregnancy weight for my 5’0 height. It makes me laugh just thinking about it. The happy weight from my loving relationship with my boyfriend Allen and the “stay-at-home and do nothing but play with food” pandemic weight packed on so quickly! Simply put, I was eating nearly as much as Allen who is 6’0 and just generally, enjoying my time off a bit too much. </p> <p>I no longer believe that the number on the scale defines me. I am, however, uncomfortable. Twenty-five pounds is no joke on my frame. I am choosing to lose weight for my health, better breathing, straighter posture, glowing skin, and deeper sleep. Even my voice sounds different which is weird!! I am not doing it simply because I have to be thin for a photoshoot. Although I do have to be small enough to fit into my clothes.. cuz buying new clothes is an expensive and difficult endeavor!</p> <p>Anyway, I am so grateful to my wonderful partner Allen because he has brought so much happiness and goodness to my life. He is the absolute best fur dad to Beau, and we even did the crazy thing of getting a puppy together! Belle is a red tri Australian Shepherd. Beau is a red merle. They are the most adorable pair, and they bring me so much joy every darn day!! Belle is finally crate trained after 4.5 weeks, and we just have 4 more weeks until she can use the bathroom outdoors. We set up an <b style="background-color: #f4cccc;"><span style="color: #444444;">Instagram called The Ganibears</span></b> <span style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(35, 35, 35); color: #232323;

<p><br /> </p> <div itemprop="text"> <p>Somehow I have still failed to photograph an outfit in a clergy shirt, despite this blog being entitled Clergy Closet. I think it’s because I wear a collar on “serious” work days: for long Sundays or on-call weeks or pastoral meetings. On those days, I’m tired when I get home and ready for PJs.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"></figure> <p>In contrast, today I worked from home in the morning finishing up a lot of office work and communications stuff. In the afternoon, I taught our Music Director some hymns he didn’t know, had a brief meeting with the Head of School, and then headed back to my home office to finish a sermon draft. Still a long day, but without having to be “on” all the time.</p> <p>I finally bought these tabi flats from Lisa Says Gah and couldn’t be happier. They are super comfortable – way more comfortable than they looked online – and don’t feel too “loud” to wear on a regular workday. </p> <p>The first day I wore them, a kid from the pre-school stopped on the way back from the playground and refused to go back to her classroom until she could tell me she liked them. She was wearing gold glitter maryjanes with cat ears on them, so we were both wearing awesome shoes that day.</p> <p>I thrifted this shirt, but linked a similar one below.</p> <h4

As an eczema sufferer, I found that the cream did little for my flaky patches but did wonders on my face. Plus, the fact that the cream is made from natural ingredients and unscented is a huge plus for those with sensitive skin like me. </p> </div> <p><br /> <br /><a

In addition, oil-absorbing powders create a second-skin finish!</p> <p>(Vous parlez français? Cliquez ici!)</p> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div> <p>Despite the fact that my skin is quite oily, I usually avoid matte foundations at this time of the year because my skin becomes very dehydrated and sensitive when the temperature drops. I like this foundation though, because it doesn’t accentuate dry patches and doesn’t feel like it sucks the life out of my skin!</p> <p>I’m not sure if it would be matte enough for those of you who prefer a true matte finish and have very oily skin, as it doesn’t stay matte for a long period of time in comparison to other matte foundations I tried. But overall, I really liked this foundation for my skin type (oily, acne-prone and dehydrated)! </p> <p>When I set it with a bit of loose powder, the Soft Matte foundation lasts more than 12 hours on me and has a semi-matte finish for about 3 hours.</p> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img decoding="async" alt="NARS Soft Matte Complete Foundation Review Before After" border="0" data-original-height="396" data-original-width="567" src="https://glow-vogue.site/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/NARS-Soft-Matte-Complete-Foundation-Before-After.jpg"/></div> <p>One thing I would suggest though, is to start with less product than you think you need. I find that this foundation looks best if I apply a thin layer with a damp Beautyblender, which gives me medium coverage.</p> <p>The coverage can be build up from medium to full, but it was a bit too cakey for my liking when I tried it this way. It doesn’t feel heavy or sticky though!</p> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img decoding="async" alt="NARS Soft Matte Complete Foundation Review Photos Packaging" border="0" data-original-height="404" data-original-width="567" src="https://glow-vogue.site/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/NARS-Soft-Matte-Complete-Foundation-Packaging.jpg"/></div> <p>The Soft Matte Foundation doesn’t oxidize on me, but it dries much darker once on the skin. So I would highly recommend to try it in store first, and let the product dry for about 20 minutes to see the true color. </p> <p>Also, please note that the shades in the Soft Matte Complete Foundation are not equivalent to the ones in the <u><b>Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation</b></u>. </p> <div style="text-align: center;"><img decoding="async" alt="NARS Soft Matte Complete Foundation Swatches Montblanc Yukon Vienna Vallauris Stromboli Vanuatu MAC NW20 NW25 NC25 NC40 NW35" border="0" data-original-height="319" data-original-width="567" src="https://glow-vogue.site/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/NARS-Soft-Matte-Complete-Foundation-Swatches.jpg"/><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />Swatches on light skin (NC15)</span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span></span> </div> <p><b>Montblanc</b> is darker than <b>NW20</b> (but lighter than <b>NW25</b>) and has pink beige undertones.</p> <p><b>Yukon</b> is slightly lighter than <b>NW25</b> and has pink undertones.<br /><b><br />Vienna</b> is a bit darker than <b>NC25</b> and has neutral undertones.<br /><b><br />Vallauris</b> is slightly darker than <b>NW35</b> and has pink undertones.<br /><b><br />Stromboli</b> is a bit lighter than <b>NC40</b> and has golden peach undertones.<br /><b><br />Vanuatu</b> is darker than <b>NW35</b> (but lighter than <b>NW40</b>) and has neutral, slightly pink undertones.</p> <div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img decoding="async" alt="NARS Soft Matte Complete Foundation Review Photos" border="0" data-original-height="404" data-original-width="567" src="https://glow-vogue.site/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/NARS-Soft-Matte-Complete-Foundation.jpg"/></div> <p> The NARS Soft Matte Complete Foundation retails for $53 CAD for 45ml and is available at <u><b>Sephora</b></u>.</p> <p><span style="font-size: x-small;">(I received these products in order to evaluate them and give my opinion, but rest assured that my comments are always honest and impartial.
