Kikay Kit Currently

The trick for a lightweight kikay kit? Multitasking tools and products! I'm talking about lip and cheek mousse in a tube, a trusty palette with highlighter and bronzer which can double as eyeshadows. A peach lipstick that I use as an undereye corrector. Mix and match them all!

What's in your kikay kit currently?

Mary Kay CC Cream | My Current Daytime Foundation

A very lightweight, 'barely there', CC cream which I use as my everyday foundation.  

This product is just simply impressive.  My shade is light to medium. It provides light coverage so you still have to apply concealer for under eye circles and very dark blemishes. I usually use it on its own with compact powder on top. I think this could also be used as a base for foundation but I haven't tried it yet. It is also non-comedogenic, fragrance-free, and oil-free, perfect for keeping those acne at bay.

Here are the key ingredients of the product:

Niacinamide and ascorbyl glucoside - helps even out the skin tone

Vitamin E and a botanical extract - calming and soothing effect to the skin

Willow bark extract - a skin conditioning ingredient

Emollients - for skin hydration without the greasy feel 

Silymarin extract - an antioxidant against skin-damaging free radicals.

I find this product easy to blend and it sets quickly to a semi-matte and slightly dewy finish. Even if it only has light coverage, I still find it perfect for everyday use - for work, for shopping, running errands, and even when I am just in the mood to lounge around at home with make up. The best part for me is this product already has SPF 15 so 'yay' says my skin. Before I forget, IT HAS A PUMP! It means less mess and less hassle! So A+ for packaging.

Everyday Essentials

Here are the products that I always need by my side every single day to survive. Okay, that was a little too dramatic, but seriously. I try my best to wake up early so that I can at least put on my sunblock, a lightweight foundation, a concealer for my dark under eye circles, a little blush, and some lip color before I rush to work. All the other products I apply little by little as the day progresses. There are some days that I go out with my face completely done but those events are rare nowadays.
