I love make-up, don’t get me wrong. But when it comes to summer, I’m all about less is more. That’s why I prefer to stick to skincare and a couple key products to give myself a light, summer look. When I found out that my local spa, Caryl Baker Visage, carried a line of cosmetics – I was definitely intrigued and thought I should give their summer products a go.

I was happy to try out a couple Caryl Baker Visage exclusives from their Island Heat Collection for summer. When it comes to a summer look, I think it’s best to avoid laying on heavy products and make your routine lighter and brighter. Summer makeup to me means a bright lip, sparkling highlight and bronzed skin! Which is why I decided to try out 2 lipsticks from the collection – Bellini, a sparkly peachy nude and Sunrise, a bright fuschia pink. I can’t attest to just how good the lipsticks smell. They are so sweet and delicious I just had to get them on my lips. The formula is very smooth, with shea butter and avocado oil, to give my lips the moisture AND colour I needed. The two shades I tried were very pigmented and applied easily.

Their highlighters are also amazing – especially at the price point! I tried Pearl and Prosecco. Pearl has a pink undertone whereas Prosecco is definitely more golden toned. The formulas of these highlights were so creamy and buildable – perfect for every day wear! I would highly recommend trying them out. You can even sample the products yourself at any Caryl Baker Visage location, as the offer complimentary make-up application and skin assessments whenever you like.

There are over 33 Caryl Baker Visage locations for you to pick up these products for yourself. I know I’m going to have to visit in store for an oxygen facial and lash lift- stat. Nothing makes make-up look better than glowing skin and wide eyes! Click the link here to learn more about Caryl Baker Visage and all that they offer.
