Outra dica rapida para quem quer um rosto com a pele bonita e limpa. O limpador exfoliante da Kiehl's Rare Earth Deep Pore Daily Cleanser ($30,00) tem em sua formula argila da Amazonia que remove a oleosidade, sujeira e toxinas que obstruem os poros. Esse foi um dos unicos produtos para o rosto em que eu realmente vi efeito imediato.

Another quick tip for those who want a clear and beautiful skin.

Blush Nars - Douceur

Nars Blush - Douceur


Aqui vai uma dica rapida. Se voce esta a procura de um blush que nao seja rosa, nem pessego, so pra ressaltar as macas do rosto, recomendo muito o blush Douceur, da Nars, o acabamento eh mate, sem brilho. Eh como se fosse o nude dos blushes (saca os tons nude de batons? tipo isso). No site da Nars, eles descrevem essa cor como um leve rosa amarronzado. Ele eh super leve mesmo, por isso talvez nao apareca muito nas meninas mais morenas. 


Here's a quick tip. If you're looking for a blush that isn't a pink or peach, just to give a healthy glow to your cheeks, I recommend a Nars blush called Douceur, it has a matte finish, no shimmer, no sparkles. You know those nude lipsticks? Douceur is like that, but in a blush shape! In their website they describe it as a soft pink brown and indeed is very soft, maybe too soft if you have a darker skin tone.
