I recently reached out to Saie Beauty as I was curious about the hype I have been seeing over their products in the last couple of years. I was delighted to receive an impressive line-up of their products to sample and discover, I can officially Saie (pronounced s-a-y), I am a fan.
The first product I wanted to share is the Glow Sculpt Multi-Use Cream Highlighting Blush, this exquisite cream blush comes in a generous and elegant compact, the pigmentation is incredible, the shimmer glides on the skin and layers on the skin in the most flattering way.
I have been loving the Glow Sculpt Multi-Use Cream Highlighting Blush as a blush, a blush topper, certain shades are expressly designed for highlighting use, such as Pinkglow and Quartzglow.
The vegan formula, free of any Silicones, features Kukuli Oil know to nurture, soothe and moisturize the skin, the Glow Sculpt Multi-Use Cream Highlighting Blush from Saie Beauty also has Hyaluronic Acid to lock in moisture and boost the hydration in your skin; lastly the finely milled particles of Mica create the most lustrous radiance without any glitter.

Feathery Light Lips by Shiseido
Shiseido creates beautiful skincare and makeup products, I remember discovering the brand in the nineties and loving their innovative technologies for the skin.
I recently tried the VisionAiry Gel Lipstick from Shiseido and I was stunned by the high level of pigmentation it layered on my lips and how light, airy and non-existent the texture felt on my lips.
Housed in an sleek and airtight, bullet component, the VisionAiry Gel Lipstick from Shiseido provides long-lasting, full-coverage, weightless lip color for high-impact lips with a satin finish.
The VisionAiry Gel Lipstick by Shiseido uses a revolutionary triple gel technology that allows for high levels of pigment to converge with water for a cushiony lipstick experience unlike any other. The technology it holds makes it a perfect lipstick for our cooler climate, as we head further into fall, with long-lasting lip color that is feathery soft.
Luminosity Is Key To Beauty
A huge trend this fall is luminous, dewy and brilliant skin, skin that reflects the light and appears wet or illuminated. The Luminizing Face Enhancer by Clé de Peau Beauté is an exquisite highlighting powder that features light-diffusing technology to capture radiance and illuminate the complexion.
The Luminizing Face Enhancer from Clé de Peau Beauté has a lovely iridescence inspired by the beauty of opals, the shimmer is finely milled and applies beautifully on the skin.

Peace Out’s Pore Perfecting Stick
September is actually Acne Awareness Month and being a long-time acne sufferer, I know first-hand how real the struggle is; and I recently had a huge blemish appear which forced me to pull out products, I use less frequently.
I first began trying the products from Peace Out over a year ago and I love their approach to clearing up the skin, I write about their Salicylic Acid Acne Healing Dots, here. I also loved the Retinol Face Stick, I write about it here, here and here.
This fall Peace Out has launched another hit product for me, the Peace Out Pore Perfecting Stick, a glide on exfoliating mask, that instantly tightens pores and clears the skin.
The Pore Perfecting Stick from Peace Out is a mask that you can spread in its stick form over your problem areas, leave it on and rinse off, watch it snatch your pores, making them tighter and leaving the skin feeling slick and smooth.
A smart, playful way to fight breakouts and keep the pores clear and clean, the Peace Out Pore Perfecting Stick is a stand out, skincare warrior for your skin.
The combination of Kaolin Clay, Mushroom Extract and 5 Acid Blend create a hyper effective blemish fighter that greatly improves the appearance of pores on the skin, the Peace Out Pore Perfecting Stick is an ideal spot fighter for the fall and winter weather.
Gloss is Back Baby!
Fashion is a cyclical wonder, where everything old is recycled, recreated and new again and we have come to the time where the nineties are back. From grungy eye looks, to the dark lip liner trend happening now, we cannot deny that so many elements of the 1990s are officially back.
Luckily, one of the best trends of the nineties was the wet, juicy lip and Milk Makeup has just recreated the lip gloss and you have to try their Odyssey Lip Oil Gloss, an amazing lip gloss-oil hybrid that comes in a introductory selection of shades.
Milk Makeup has had a stellar year, I have been finding myself using their products more and more, with a few of their recent launches becoming staples in my makeup routines.
Their incredible Sculpt Cream Contour Stick is an expert tool to create structure and dimension on the face, read my thoughts about it, here. The unbelievable Pore Eclipse Mattifying + Blurring Setting Spray does wonders to set the makeup in place and blur the appearance of texture on the skin, read more in dept about it, here.
The Odyssey Lip Oil Gloss feels so smooth on the lips, it spreads easily, is non-sticky and gives beautiful shine and reflection; and did I mention they smell incredibly delicious. The Odyssey Lip Oil Gloss by Milk Makeup has a Vanilla based scent that lasts even once applied to the lips, I found myself enjoy various drafts of it as I wore the Odyssey Lip Oil Gloss for the day.
Milk Makeup has once again released a winning product, the Odyssey Lip Oil Gloss is a must-have lip product, its unparalleled reflection, combined with its high levels of hydration, make this one of the best glosses, I have ever tried, get yours now!
Perfect Time to Treat Your Skin
As we move into the fall and winter months, as our summer color fades from our skin, many will notice newly formed fine lines and discolorations creating permanent marks on their complexions.
Which make the fall and winter periods ideal times for treating the skin’s discolorations and improving its texture, radiance, glow and luminosity.
Last year, my good friends at Access Medica were kind enough to offer me the ProFractional Laser.
I originally wrote about my experience with the ProFractioanl Laser, and I encourage those who are curious, to read about my improvements, here.
Now, a full year later, post-treatment, I see the incredible improvements that this laser therapy did to my skin. My pores appear much smaller, my skin is smoother overall and my discolorations are greatly diminished. The most impressive result from my ProFractional treatments is that the deep acne scars I had, the scars that made me the most self-conscious about my skin, are almost completely gone.
I also visit Access Medica for my Genesis Laser treatments that build new collagen in my skin, and even though I am aging, my skin has never looked more radiant and lustrous as it does now.
It is wild to me that as I approach 50 years of age, my skin has never looked better and these 2 treatments are but the tip of the iceberg in terms of what science can do for you; and how it can improve your appearance and augment your sense of self-worth and well-being.
I also get my Neuromodulators and Dermal Fillers done at Access Medica and the skill of their staff and their genuine kindness will impress you and make you want to try the technologies they offer.
If you have questioned yourself about improvements for your face, waste no more time and consult with the team at Access Medica, allow yourself to age gracefully on your own terms, to help you look the way you feel inside.
Currently Access Medica has many discounts and offers available until October 13th 2023, depending on which type of treatments you are most interested in, this is a great time to stock up and prepare a series of treatments to look and feel your very best, starting today!
More To Come……
This year I was exposed to so many brands and products, I feel truly blessed and I do want to thank all of the various agencies I am in communication with, as well as the brands we feature in our beauty stories; your help and support make this all possible.
To all of my readers who enjoy my beauty tea, I am so happy you stick around and hopefully, enjoy my suggestions.
This is a big year for beauty and I am excited because I have several reports launching before year’s end, you can expect a new Foundation story, a Blush story and I am already working on the Best of Beauty for 2023.
So until next time, enjoy the last days of summer, embrace the fall season as it commences and as always, stay beautiful!
