The Inkey List Order of Application

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

If you aren’t living under a rock you likely already heard about the UK’s latest skincare import, The Inkey List.

The Inkey List launched about six months ago in England and is now debuting at Sephora.com (and coming to Sephora stores shortly as well). So far, I’ve been having a good time trying all the different products I purchased from the brand and although small in size seems like the formulas are pretty mighty!

I’m surprised there aren’t a ton of articles out that explain how to use the products, what order to apply them or an order of application for them. I always struggle with this myself. It’s one reason I’m not in love with the Ordinary as I’m always trying to figure out what I can and can’t cocktail and if it’ll work with what I currently use. But trying and playing is half the fun sometimes with skincare.

I created a rather simple how-to guide for the Inkey List’s Order of Application to give you some idea what would work for what skin type and the order you should apply the products.

Here’s the details!

Natasha Denona Duo Glow Review & Swatches

5 stars out of 5

Natasha Denona Duo Glow ($38) in Alba has been on my wish list a while as I do love golden coral shades! Since Summer is going to get here eventually I decided to purchase this during the Sephora Sales Event at 20% off.

I could be delirious here but $38 wasn’t too bad a price to pay at retail as Natasha’s line is marked up pretty heavily and I was like hmm this is twice the size as NARS Orgasm for $8 more. NARS Orgasm is 0.16 oz and $30 where as Natasha Denona Duo Glow is 0.35 oz and $38. So, it’s a pretty large amount for the price!

Anyway, I became obsessed with trying more of Natasha’s blushes and highlighters after my great success with her new Bloom Blush & Glow Palette and Alba fit the bill perfectly to use in conjunction with that palette and of course all its own as well!

NARS Summer Lights Face Palette Review & Swatches

I purchased this item and I receive a small commission if you shop using the links in this post.
5 stars out of 5

NARS Summer Lights Face Palette ($59) is one of new, limited edition Summer 2019 face palettes that contains eyeshadows, bronzer, and a highlighter in warm bronze-y shades. When I saw the Summer Lights Face Palette I new almost instantly I wanted it but the main draw of the palette was the four eyeshadows and not the bronzer nor the highlighter. I’ve been slowing getting into highlighters lately but for the most part I purchase them and just look at them but never use them. Yeah, I’m that weird girl. And bronzer isn’t really my thing. At $59, this is a fairly priced palette by NARS standards but if I was only making use out of the four eyeshadows it seems quite a waste to spend so much. But I’m not the most logical of makeup users and I just really wanted the eyeshadows in this palette so I ended up purchasing.

To my surprise, I ended up using everything in and and loving it.

Up to 65% Off Josie Maran

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

I’ve been wanting to try some of Josie’s Holistic Fragrances but they got such poor reviews that I never wanted to pay full-price! They are on sale today along with a ton of other Josie Maran goodies at hautelook.com with prices slashed up to 65% off or more.

Maybe I’ll indulge.

If anyone tried these give me a shout because I’m debating if I should listen to all those bad reviews or just take the plunge and try the perfumes for myself!
