Without question, a brand which excites me right now is Touch In Sol, regular readers of my blog will without question be well informed as to who the brand are. To recap, Touch In Sol has been designed to embrace the spirit of Korean innovation. Touch In Sol is fun, innovative and uses some of the most advanced technologies out there.
The Pretty Filter range has five products - Mattifying Oil Control Setting Mist, Light Up CC Cream, Makeup Lock Fixer Setting Spray, Pore Blur Primer and Dazzling Finish Powder and I have been using them for some time, you might have seen some of them appear on my Instagram stories too.
Pretty Filter Mattifying Oil Control Setting Mist - Described as being a refreshing, mattifying facial mist but because it comes from Touch In Sol, there is something quite amazing about it because it is so much more than a Mattifying Oil Control Mist. I have combination oily skin and in this sweltering heat, I will do all I can to ensure I avoid that mid-afternoon slide and this beauty is just the product.
Using an innovative formula which turns from a mist-to-powder, it combines water, mineral powder and pigment which come together to absorb excess sebum which not only leaves the skin feeling soft and smooth to the touch, but it is also incredibly refreshing. It doesn't strip the skin, it isn't sticky or tacky, it does feel light when sprayed on to the skin and it does help to extend a refreshed finish to your look.
Pretty Filter Dazzling Finish Powder - Right now a Finish Powder is something I have gone back to using. I tend to swap and change between a powder and a spray depending on what I am doing or where I am going.
Designed to control oil, tone and illuminate your skin, the innovation with this powder comes with the use of a multi-gemstone combination (including Pearl, Amethyst, & Diamond powder) which works to not only reduce black circles but also to restore brightness and creates clarity. Further ingredients include Sea Buckthorn which soothes away skins irritations while adding a bit of natural sun protection.
Pretty Filter Make Up Lock Fixer Setting Spray - If you prefer a spray to a powder, which I sometimes do depending on my mood, then this Make up Lock Fixer Spray is one definitely worth trying.
I am picky when it comes to setting sprays, I don't like any that are sticky or tacky when used or those which make my skin feel taut after using, as though I've covered my face in hairspray. With this product it manages to leave your skin feeling hydrated and moisturised when used, it doesn't feel sticky and there is no strong scent of alcohol.
Pretty Filter Light It Up CC Cream SPF30 PA++ - In this weather, there is no need to cake on the foundation, well for me anyway. What I want is something light, airy and a product which lets my skin breathe.
What I love about this cream is that it doesn't oxidise and turn my skin orange which some CC creams have done. On the skin, it is so light but at the same time, it is incredibly hydrating owing to it using a serum like formula which helps to create that perfect skin look whilst helping to achieve a natural looking glow. I find that I need no more than two pumps of this on my beauty blender to cover my entire face
The final product is one of my favourites from the brand so far and that is the Pretty Filter Pore Blur Primer. No Poreblem happens to be one of the best primers I have ever used (review here) and this little addition to my stash.
This Blur Primer has what is called a whipped cream texture, so not only is it lightweight on the skin, it also means a little goes a very long way. Using ingredients such as Coconut oil, Orbignya Oleifera seed oil, Gardenia Flower Extract and Acai Oil to name just a few, this primer not only works to camouflage those imperfections, which for me is redness on my cheeks, but it also helps to control excess sebum. If like me there are some days when you don't want a full face of makeup, then this primer can be used on its own or even with some tinted moisturiser.
