I AM Blades and Beauty

Trying out something new today… ILIA Beauty 🌿

My Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 30 and two shades of the Multi‑Stick arrived today and I genuinely couldn’t resist putting them straight on, didn't even prep my skin, so really putting it to the test.

First impressions after about 3 hours wear:
✨ The skin tint feels like a second skin
✨ Very lightweight and breathable
✨ A dewy finish – which normally isn’t my go-to… but since being consistent with my skincare, I’m actually embracing the glow
✨ My pores look visibly blurred (which is a win because they’re usually quite noticeable)
I applied no primer and no powder — just the skin tint and the multi-sticks — and these photos are after 3 hours of wear, no filter just natural light and the products.

I’m slowly moving toward more low-tox products in my kit, and I’m excited to test these properly to see if they become staples.

Of course, I’ll always offer a variety of brands for clients, because everyone’s skin, preferences and comfort levels are different.
But for me personally… this is a lovely start 🌿

🌙 'Listen to me now...' Your Skin Changes Because You Do
Your skin isn’t inconsistent.
She’s cyclical.
Just like your energy.
Just like your mood.
Just like you.
Instead of fighting hormonal changes, what if we supported them?

This is something I am going to explore and test over the next few months trial, track and record.

I've been so consistent with tracking my body, cycles and changes over the last few years but now I want to see what changes (subtle and significant) take place with my skin and adapt to what she needs. She being me.

We are all different and it's important we get to know ourselves, instead of being a passive consumer buying onto the latest fad or treatment.

✨May your skin be nourished, your hormones balanced,
and your confidence glow from the inside out 💫
