Freck BEAUTY

Hi, my name’s Francine and I’m addicted to Animal Crossing!!! 🐶🐷🐱🐰🦊💗 If you guys have been following along you’ve probably seen my other ACNH inspired lewks. Someone suggested I did Merengue next, and honestly she was already on my list! Merengue is a normal rhino villager and her name comes from “meringue”, a type of dessert made with egg whites and sugar. My husband has her on his island and she’s the cutest!! 🍰 I also got inspo from @neoini on IG! They did this look a while ago, and I’m just beyond obsessed. Here’s what I used for this look: 🍓 e.l.f. - Poreless Putty Primer 🍰DIOR - Forever Skin Correct Concealer 🍓essence - All About Matt! Fixing Compact Powder 🍰essence - Satin Touch Blush 🍓COLOURPOP - Strawberry shake shadow palette 🍰CALEY COSMETICS - Beach Babe Natural Lips 🍓Glossier. - Glossier. Lip Gloss 🍰Freck BEAUTY - THE ORIGINAL FRECKLE 🍓OFRA - Limited Edition Rodeo Drive Highlighter Ornament 🍰 ANASTASIA Beverly Hills - Dipbrow Gel How did I do it: • First I started by prepping my skin, so I used my favorite primer atm. The elf poreless putty primer gives me a smooth, flawless base every time. • Next I spot concealed with the Dior forever skin correct concealer, I wear shade 1W. • I like to keep my brows soft when I’m doing villager inspired makeup lol, so I only went in with the dipbrow gel, which I don’t love but I can’t find my elf wow brow 😔 • Now for the eyes I used one of my favorite palettes from CP and did a soft, shimmery pink eye bc the lil strawberry nose is the focal point here! • The nose was so hard guys, I used a white concealer and a green eyeliner from a now discontinued beauty brand and just carefully tried to draw a strawberry. Any white creamy shadow or concealer will work and any green shadow or liner is ok! I used the shade Daiquiri from the Strawberry Shake palette for the rest. Ta-da! • To set my makeup I used the essence - All About Matt! Fixing Compact Powder I purchased this powder when I did my Flora makeup and needed a white fixing powder. I went with Essence because honestly I rarely ever use mattifying powders for my regular makeup routine, and Essence is inexpensive and they’re powders are just top tier. This powder is supposed to be “invisible” so I just build up until I can no more and it works great! Its surprisingly lightweight even when I apply like 10 layers to get maximum opacity. Also the price is hard to beat! $3.99 for 8 grams 🙌 • I used the Satin Touch Blush in Coral love. • For the freckles I used the Freck BEAUTY - THE ORIGINAL FRECKLE the liquid-y formula and small brush makes it easy to draw fake freckles, but it’s a little warm for my taste and way too small. Def not a need.

This is the most fun I’ve had with makeup in a long time. I thought I’d try my hand at a “vintage” makeup look, inspired by mid/late 90’s pop icons, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera. While I’d imagine most people in the 90’s didn’t go for this look on a regular basis, it seems like the celebrities DID! If I was a young adult in the 90’s, I wouldn’t have been rocking this every day, but instead thin eyeliner, dark lipsticks, and no blush. But this was SUPER fun to create and now I’m wondering if I would have at least tried it. My skin type: combination, acne prone, sensitive, rosacea. My skin color: I have light skin, but not as light as fair. Below I’ll take you through my steps for creating this look (base, then eyes, then cheeks, and finally lips). Base boscia - Skin Perfecting BB Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 30 not my favorite, mainly because it has an orange tint to it. But it was PERFECT for this look - I feel like most celebs in the 90’s were terribly orange-tanned. I applied this with a sponge to get a natural base. e.l.f. - Hydrating Camo Concealer love this one for under my eyes + high points of my face; most of the photos of Britney I remember have pretty high contrast between her concealer and her colorful makeup! I blended this out with a brush ever so gently to retain some of that brightness! Eye makeup Freck BEAUTY - UFOMFG one of my favorite palettes of all time - it’s totally 90’s! I used the light blue shade on my entire lid, and then the dark blue shade on the crease. I applied them both with a stiff brush to pack in color! Too Faced - Just Peachy Mattes Eyeshadow Palette I used the pinkish purple color at the bottom under my eyes mostly, but brought it up to create a bit of cat eye and line the top of my eyes. A very thin brush helps a lot! ciaté - Wonderwand Intensely Volumising Mascara I layered it four times to get this spider-leg, long, curled eyelash look. Both top and bottom lashes got this treatment. I alternated eyes so the formula could dry down a bit. Cheeks Glossier. - Cloud Paint Seamless Cheek Color I used this in shade storm to get that rich pink blush that was so dreamy for the 90’s. I extended it much higher up my cheekbones than most of us do today - and didn’t blend much either. I mostly used my fingers and then a stipple brush to blend out the edges. Lips SEPHORA COLLECTION - Rouge Gel Lip Liner Meh, this liner is usually not my go-to on a normal day, but it works so well for this look! I outlined my lips a bit so that I could have a strong base to gloss up. FENTY BEAUTY - Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer one of the best glosses on the market, this is IMPERATIVE to a 90’s look. Glossy lips were a staple - you needed to be kissable! This formula is not sticky, not drying, kinda hydrating actually! #CheriePartner

Freck has a cactus based skincare line and I’m down for cactus anything. This mask has goodies in it like: Kaolin clay: pulls toxins and impurities gently Prickly pear seed extract: calms inflammation and redness Kelp extract: antioxidants to calm and fight inflammation The mask comes in a cute, paint looking tube. It’s an ivory color and you don’t need to add water or mix anything to it, just spread it evenly on your face and avoid your eyes. It’s thick, feels like a paste, and has a slight smell to it but not fragrant or perfumey. I’ll leave mine on for about 15 minutes, rinse it off, and then proceed with my morning or night skincare routine. I like doing this mask around the time I get my period because that’s when I’m more prone to breakouts. Freck has been great about being open to what they can do for the black community. They have donated to BLM funds and have donated to the Los Angeles Peoples City Council freedom fund to support bail funds. They recognize that they can use their platform to spread awareness and I will continue to support them! The mask is 3.6 oz and $22 9/10 tell a friend 😛 Cruelty free 🐰 Vegan 🌱 Gluten free 🌾 No alcohol 🍷 No parabens No phthalates

here are some new products i’m super excited to try out!!! PETER THOMAS ROTH - Cucumber Gel Masque i love this mask!!! it’s super hydrating and calming. it cools my skin down and it’s perfect after a day out in the sun or when you’re needing a little extra hydration. a little goes a long way. SUMMER FRIDAYS - Overtime Mask this mask is most likely not for those with super sensitive skin... the smell is a very pleasant cinnamon pumpkin. it’s both an enzymatic and a physical exfoliator. there are apricot shells in the formula, and they’re pretty large. the directions state that you gently rub in small circles for a minute once applied to the skin, and then leave on for 10 minutes. because i don’t like physical exfoliation, i usually just rub it in super gently for 30 seconds and then leave it on for 10 minutes before gently removing it with a warm washcloth. HERBIVORE - Moon Fruit Superfruit Night Treatment the smell of this one is a little much... a little medical lavender-like. it’s a thick lotion with a beautiful dark purple hue. when i use this, i use it as the last step of my routine and rub it thoroughly into my skin. the morning after my skin is super soft and hydrated and it helps any blemishes and acne on my skin. i’ve read a lot of really good reviews and a few really bad reviews about it molding, but so far it’s been fine for me. GLOW RECIPE - Avocado Melt Retinol Eye Sleeping Mask my fine lines are GONE by morning with the help of this. it blurs and tightens my under eyes, while also hydrating them and not drying them out as some retinols do. COSRX - Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence love this essence. it has a beautifully thick texture. it’s sticky and stretchy and one pump sinks into the skin. it hydrates and softens my skin, while also helping any irritation. i’m super excited to use the other products i haven’t had a chance to try yet! let me know if you want to hear about any product or products in specific :)
