BASSETERRE; St. Kitts: WELLNESS Coach Davina Baptiste shares all her favorite products and fashion secrets that helps to maintain her unique style and gorgeous skin tone.

Davina is a former model and lover of fashion, makeup, and skincare. Like millions of people around the globe who have an interest in such areas, she is the go-to person to listen to when it comes to learning everything there is to know about this industry. If you would class yourself to be an outsider in this area, you will be surprised to know how many aspects there are. If you are just getting into make-up and skincare then there is a lot you are going to want to learn, that is why research is definitely your friend in figuring out what type of skin you have and how you can help it. There is a lot of choices out there for people to pick from, whether that is a SAINT 21 Gold Microcurrent Facial Dual Mask or a collagen-infused serum, people need to know what is available.

Not only is it about making sure that you know how to use the products, but you also need to make sure that you are choosing brands that have a positive reputation so you have a better chance of being able to see positive results. Of course, the packaging is important too, especially if you are unsure about which products to look for. As Davina may tell you, there are many brands in this specific industry that like to take advantage of somewhere like Impacked Packaging who sell wholesale packaging to people who may work in this industry because they have been known to produce results.

It is very likely that your favorite product has this type of packaging. It may also be the case for Davina too.

So, without further ado, here is her list of Top Ten Beauty and Fashion Secrets/Must-Haves.

1. Garnier SkinActive Gentle Sulfate-Free Foaming Cleanser – I have very sensitive skin, so this cleanser does the work in cleaning away oil and makeup without the sulfates that strip the skin. It’s also fragrance-free, which I love!

2. The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% – I have very oily, acne-prone skin. I love this serum because it helps to balance the skin and reduce pore congestion. Hot tip: I also use it as a makeup primer. It helps my foundation apply smoothly, creating a great finish.

3. Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion For Face & Body – This is my go-to moisturizer because it deeply hydrates without irritating my sensitive skin. It is also fragrance-free, which is how I like my skincare.

4. Revlon ColorStay Foundation – This has been my go-to foundation for many years. It has buildable coverage and has a formula specifically for oily/combination skin. My makeup looks great even after many hours of wear with minimal touch-ups.

5. Juvia’s Place Saharan Blush Palette Volume II – This was recently placed on my must-have list. I LOVE the color payoff and the versatility. I use the colors on both my cheeks and eyes. As a former makeup artist, I really appreciate this!

6. Chunky Statement Jewelry – I’m a sucker for huge vintage and boho style earrings and chunky necklaces. They can make a plain outfit look amazing. My current fave earrings are the Fenty Cameo Earrings with the crystals and my current fave necklace is a huge tribal style necklace by Maliparmi. They are so over the top extra! I wear them every chance I get. I also love wearing gold bangles, they jazz up any outfit and make it so unique!

7. Unusual Sneakers – In recent years I’ve grown to have a thing for sneakers. I love unusual colors and styles. My current faves are my Fenty Puma Pointy Toe Platform Creepers. I have them in the nude color. They are edgy, comfortable, and go great with jeans or dresses.

8. Linen/Cotton Blend Blazers – My current daytime/work look is usually a cotton/linen blend blazer, usually bright-colored like hot pink or bright green, paired with a complementary undershirt, jeans, and sneakers. Makes me feel stylish while being comfortable. My current faves are from J. Crew Factory.

9. Fit & Flare Dresses – I love this style of dress when made with a flowy material like silk. My current fave is a beautiful pink dress from an Australian designer, Camilla. I also love that this designer does not “re-run” prints, so there is the bonus of having a unique piece!

10. Edgy Sunglasses – I love me a pair of super stylish sunny! I love styles from Miu Miu and Spitfire but my current faves are a vintage style from Pared Eyewear.
