It’s one of the most exciting times in blogging for me to receive beauty products from my favorite luxury brand, Burberry. Their products are always on point, classy and good quality. It’s super exciting for me because I have received not only one product but three in the Burberry Essential Box.
How I got this box was very fortunate. I didn’t go above and beyond by contacting Burberry myself nor did they contacted me directly. How I got in touch with them is that I am part of an Influenster, a community of over 3 million social savvy shoppers that stay on top of the latest product news & expert tips, so I get a chance to win VOXBOX (a box full of full-sized free products that you get to review and keep) each month.
Good news is you can be a part of this community and will have a chance to receive free products, test and share your opinions with the community as well. If you are interested you can sign up here.
The products I received are Fresh Glow Highlighter (Rose Gold No. 04), BURBERRY Fresh Glow Highlighting Luminous Pen (Nude Radiance No. 01) and BURBERRY Fresh Glow Luminous Fluid Base (Golden Radiance No. 02). Now let me go over each product.
Rose GoldMica, Cetearyl Ethylhexanoate, Hdi/Trimethylol Hexyllactone Crosspolymer, Squalane, Octyldodecyl Stearoyl Stearate, Glycerin, Polysorbate 20, Caprylyl Glycol, Ethylhexylglycerin, 1,2-Hexanediol, Tin Oxide, Chondrus Crispus Extract, Xanthan Gum, Pentaerythrityl Tetra-Di-T-Butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate, Silica, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Dicalcium Phosphate, [+/- (May Contain): Ci 77491, Ci 77499 (Iron Oxides), Ci 77891 (Titanium Dioxide)].
Suggested Usage: -Apply the illuminating powder around the edge of the face, onto the temples, cheekbones, down the center of the nose, and along the Cupid’s bow to lift and brighten the complexion. -It can also be applied to the eyes, décolletage, and arms for a flattering glow.
My first impression of this product is WOW! The classy Burberry packaging is so simple but yet sophisticated. When you open the case you can see a beautiful lace designed highlighter. This product is so pigmented. The color is so beautiful and looks very natural on my skin. My skin looks so glowy and dewy, especially in the light. I personally love using this highlighter for nights out.
Suggested Usage: -Pair with Face Contour for an even more defined and sculpted look, or apply on top of Fresh Glow Luminous Fluid Base to further highlight and illuminate areas of the face. -To use, apply on the center of the forehead, along the bridge of the nose, on the Cupid’s bow, the apple of the cheeks, the chin, and along the collarbone. -Blend lightly with fingertips.
This pen highlighter is for on the go, instant glow must-have item. I like that it comes in a pen form because it is so convenient to carry around with you. As well as the ease of use, it’s so much easier to use than a regular form of highlighter, especially when highlighting the corners of your eyes. I have to say that I’m not a big fan of using this product for the inner corners of my eyes thinking. I tend to tear up easily which always ruin the highlighter. But I definitely LOVE using this product on my Cupid’s bow a lot. The color is beautiful. I also love the creamy texture that makes it so easy to apply and blend only using my fingertips.
Water, Glycerin, Isohexadecane, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Ethylhexyl Stearate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Sodium Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Cassia Angustifolia Seed Polysaccharide, Polysorbate 80, Panthenol, Carbomer, Sorbitan Oleate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Rosa Canina Fruit Extract, Tocopherol. +/- (May Contain): CI 77019 (Mica), CI 77891 (Titanium Dioxide), CI 77491 (Iron Oxides).
Suggested Usage: -To achieve an illuminated effect, apply to nude skin or under foundation. -To create a sheer, glowing wash of color, blend into eye shadow. -To highlight, smooth onto cheekbones, the bridge of the nose, and the Cupid’s bow.
I was afraid to use this base when I first saw the color through the bottle. The color looks a little bit too dark at first glance. But once I tested on my skin I’m in love! The product is very lightweight, comfortable on my skin and very easy to apply. It makes my skin look and feels so glamorous. Literally feels like putting liquid gold on my face. The color is just perfect. I can wear it without any other makeup and I still feel as confident as wearing full makeup. I also love that it doesn’t feel sticky at all and my skin can breathe. It’s a Summer must-have beauty product for sure!
This is my finished look using all three products. My apologies for the bad lighting. I took the picture at night so it is kind of hard to see how the glow looks like from this picture. I will have to say that the color and the glow are so gorgeous in person. You might want to stop by Sephora or Burberry Counter near you and try all these products out before you decide to purchase.
Don’t forget to check out Influenster and sign up so you will have a chance to receive some full-size beauty products to try like me. Thank you for stopping by my blog today.
Enjoy your day, my love.

Next, I want to show you my new favorite item I fell in love with this summer, oversize clear glasses. They are so fun to wear and will go good with any outfit. They will make you look a little bit cooler than you already are. The most important thing is that they are inexpensive.
Bandana choker, neckerchief and choker scarf are more trendy things that a lot of people wear in the summer. It can add a pop of color, make your look more classy or even can make your look more bad ass but it all depends on what design you choose. This small statement item will be fun to wear and it’s a must try item this summer. I’m wearing a BCBG rolled scarf I got from Nordstrom Rack, I’m linking some similar ones below.
Next item is bags. This Charming Charlie Seashell Clutch I’m wearing is screaming SUMMER to me. It’s so adorable and you can wear it as a cross body or hold it as a clutch. It doesn’t fit a lot of stuff but you sure will get a lot of compliments carrying it around. I’ve also picked some more statement bags from Charming Charlie below:
Today’s look, I’m wearing a satin cami top from Missguided, (similar here,here,here andhere). My pants are from River Island, they’re so comfortable and they are my latest favorite summer pants. The cute frill hem is the reason I love this pants a lot.
My denim jacket is from RomWe. I love the medium blue shade of this boyfriend denim jacket. Nice material, soft and comfy. The material is not stretchy and It doesn’t look cheap at all compared to the price. I’m wearing size Medium (size 4 US is my normal size) and it fits me perfect. I love that you can wear denim jackets in all seasons and it’s totally a good investment. I have picked a few more in different shades for you to take a look at below.
My shoes are from Pic & Pay. These leather Peep Toe Wedge Shoes are very light and comfy. I love the classic and simple design. They are perfect for dress up or down. Fit true to size, come in two other colors (Black Leather and Cream/ Brown Snake Printed PU). The color I’m wearing is Maple Sugar. Good quality and price for a perfect pair of shoes that will go good with anything in your closet.
That’s it for today, love! It’s quite a long list to go through but I hope you find something you like from this post. Thank you for stopping by my blog today.
Have a wonderful weekend, my love.
See you again soon! 🙂
“You need a little bit of insanity to do great things.”
I have to admit that the first thing that I do in the morning is looking at my phone without wearing computer glasses. Checking social media notifications, emails, shopping apps, and other messages. The second thing I do is look at my laptop screen. I know I should practice some self-care and get up to workout instead but I can’t help it. Actually, I have to look at my iPad to see my workout of the day to be able to workout. Let’s say whatever I do during the day includes one or all the use of my electronic devices in it.
Nowadays, we’re all relying on our electronic devices in so many ways, finding recipes online, searching for something you’re curious about, stalking your ex(es). Many of us don’t realize that this continuous activity of bad self-care is actually hurting your health. Not saying you will get some disease from looking at the screen for a long period of time but If you have eye strain, macular cellular damage, and sleep cycle disruption problems, you might want to keep on reading.
As you know I am a blogger (plus a stay at home mommy) most of the time besides reading books, taking care of my baby, and working on taking pictures for my blog and social media, my work requires me to use a computer most of the time. I will go on my phone to share my product reviews, post the picture to announce that I have my new post up on my blog as well. Not only that, I love to read and find inspirations on Pinterest and doing some (a lot) of online shopping. Sometimes, my eyes and my head hurt, and guess what? I blame myself that I don’t drink enough water, but I still continue to have pain. I second-guessed using my computer as giving me all the problems. That’s why I started looking into ways of fixing my problems to promote better wellness and self-care for myself.
I was curious about computer glasses and was wondering if they even existed. There had to be someone who invented some kind of glasses for people who work on computer screens for long periods of time. I started to do some research, ONLINE of course and found out that there are companies out there that do offer computer glasses. I contacted Felix Gray and asked them to provide me a pair of glasses so I could try them and share my thoughts with all of you. So, this post is sponsored by Felix Gray but all opinions are 100% my own.
I have to be honest with you that I am still not used to wearing glasses all the time. I caught myself starting to squint my eyes after using my computer and then remembering to put the glasses on. Slowly it became a habit because after using the computer, my head and eye pain slowly started to lessen and completely disappear wearing the Felix Gray glasses.
Before we get into my opinions about the Felix Gray computer glasses, I would like to share some information that I found on the Felix Gray website to be beneficial in the decision making the process.
What exactly is Blue Light?
Blue light is a “high-energy” light that is emitted from all computer screens. Though this makes screens more energy-efficient, it can have negative impacts on our health if looked at for long periods of time. There have been studies that show blue light may be linked to eye strain, macular cellular damage, and sleep cycle disruption. With the blue light filter lenses through Felix Gray, they can protect the highest energy wavelengths of 400-440 nm, suggesting complete protection.
You can choose to get different size magnification (+0.25) or none at all depending on your eyesight. If you’re fixated to your screen, then magnification may be right for you. The slight magnification reduces stress on the cellular muscle, which works extra hard when we stare at objects up-close for long periods of time.
For the reading lenses, you can choose the reading prescription that ranges from (+1.0) to (+2.5). Both non- RX and Reading lenses help Reduce Glare.
Glare creates unnecessary feedback that our eyes need to filter out. This causes stress on our eyes but is easily prevented. Felix Gray’s lenses have premium AR coatings (anti-glare) to prevent up to 99% of glares from entering our eyes. Glares are emitted from many sources of light, including computer screens (desktop monitors, laptop screens, phone screens, and tablets). It is a common and often overlooked culprit of Digital Eye Strain according to many. Symptoms of DES (also known as Computer Vision Syndrome) include eye strain, dry eyes, blurred vision, and headaches.
Anti-glare lenses virtually eliminate glare by allowing more light to pass directly into your eye from a single angle. This optimizes our visual acuity, which basically means we can see better.
At Felix Gray, they currently have five unisex frames that are available in non-prescription and reading lenses. You can choose between a non-RX and a Reading option and both options come with Blue Light Filters. If you’ve been following along with my blog for a while you should know by now that I like oversized glasses. Of course I picked the biggest frames that they have. This style is called “Jamison“.
The frame is light, clear and wide enough that I don’t feel uncomfortable wearing them. I rarely find myself adjusting the glasses upwards to fully maximize the comfort of view.
Although there is a slight greenish/yellowish tint present when looking through the glasses, this helps me to concentrate without getting distracted or rubbing my eyes from the blue light shining out of the computer.
The glasses are very stylish and add a level of aesthetic to any outfit you wear. I love that they are unisex because I sometimes catch my husband wearing them and realize how good they look on both of us (LOL).
The price can seem quite high when you compare to other computer glasses in the low 20s, but with the high-quality material, stylish frames to choose from and added levels of professional protection, the price is no match for the level of value Felix Gray brings.
The best part is that I can work longer on the computer without having to worry about my eyes and head hurting. I notice however that I still have dry eyes, I hope that these will eventually go away after my eyes fully adjust to the computer glasses.
I’ve always dreamed about wearing glasses to look cool but my eyesight is normal so I never had the chance to wear glasses while working. I now know a lot of shops are selling non-prescription glasses to go with your outfit or make you more stylish. Having a pair of glasses from Felix Gray not only brings the fashion out but also is worth your spending because of the purpose behind your accessory.
Let me know what you think and feel free to check them out.
