“I founded Palm Heights I opened in Grand Cayman in 2019 and am currently the creative director. I do a little bit of everything, from curating the guest experience to planning the event program. When I’m in Cayman, my night out is almost always Palm Heights. Sometimes they have friends in town, but they usually host events for guests. Earlier this month, I hosted a beautiful dinner on the beach with a group of 20 amazing women to celebrate International Women’s Day. We also throw the “Iconic Ball” at the beginning of each season. Last year, I produced an entire event on the rooftop. We had Mya perform and it was very iconic. I danced all night wearing my Christopher John Rogers. And every Saturday, Paradise Pizza, a small pizzeria, hosts an event called Mambo Italiano, which is a large karaoke party. It’s hot, but everyone is dressed up and making a fuss.
I moved to New York from London a year and a half ago, so I’m still discovering the city. A night out here means going out to a really nice dinner with friends.i love to go The Grill.What I worked on was HabibiSo I spent many nights there. Francette That’s good too. They have the best natural wines. New York is cool because it’s spontaneous. Someone will say, “Let’s go over there.” It is very fun.
skin care
My look tends to be the same whether I’m going to a work event or a nice dinner or party with friends. I want lips that are natural but glossy, bronze-colored, and plump.If I have time, I would like to start from the next one. 111 skin rose gold mask And that sephora collection roller.sometimes only use me 111 Skin Eyepatch. Both face masks and eye patches give your skin a nice lift.
Lesse regeneration mist It’s very refreshing. I like to spray it on my face and body.but i use Epi.Logic Even Balance Toner Especially so after a long night.i’m hooked Biologique Recherche Serum Extraits Tissulaires, too. You can really tell the difference if you don’t use it. My skin feels dry and just rough.I recently started using it Inside the Velouté complex in Fiore. This is a really lightweight eye and lip serum. Makeup goes on really well after use, but it’s also recommended before going to bed. Next, if you need a light moisturizer, Dermalogica active moist. But if you need something a little heavier, Lesse essential moisturizer.
Soft service buff bar That’s excellent. Use it when you want to feel really fresh.I love it when I get out of the shower. Necessea body lotion. It’s easy and really moisturizing. I usually use unscented ones, but I also like eucalyptus ones.I also use Necessea deodorant.I go back and forth between it. Salt & Stone Black Rose and Oud Deodorant. I was really shy about using natural deodorants for a long time. I didn’t want to take any chances because I had a feeling it wouldn’t work, but now I use it on my Cayman as well. And all I have to say is: Soft Service Thera Plush Hand Cream It’s so good that I use it every night.
compensate
I’ve used it before bobbi brown full coverage concealer in natural tan For many years. As the name suggests, it provides great coverage but is not sticky. The area under my eyes is amazing.If I need a proper foundation I use this youngblood liquid mineral foundation in Golden tan (neutral). Someone recommended it to me when I lived in London. I’ve always had trouble with breakouts and this helps cover it up.But I don’t want to be too particular about the product, so I’m testing it out. Ciel tint now. Things were going well so far. It also contains SPF so it’s very good.i use 05 Medium.
I only contour when I go out and never during the day.like bobbi brown skin cream foundation stick.i use Cool Golden C076 A little on the forehead, cheeks, nose, and under the chin. I take it very lightly. I love easy makeup and this stick definitely makes it easy.i blend it #78 Brush from Sephora Collection.Then I NARS Laguna Bronzing Powder and Sephora Collection #50 Powder Brush. I have been using Laguna for a very long time. I recently dropped my Laguna on Cayman Island and it broke into a million pieces, which was a huge shock.I set it with charlotte tilbury setting powder-I use 2 medium. It’s a convenient powder to keep in your bag.Then I’ve been trying siere blush in the shade Kirsty, warm nude. It looks very natural because it uses one small dot. It also has SPF.
I also used Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick in bronze Years and years. I love applying it on my nose, and for some reason I don’t know, but I also add a little highlight to my chin. I also use it as an eyeshadow during the day. It blends well with light and gives off a truly beautiful glow.i got it Chanel Transparent Baume Essentiel As a gift, I like to apply it on my cheekbones, especially when I’m in Palm Heights and want that glow that makes me feel like I just spent time at the beach. I honestly didn’t think I’d like it, but it’s very soft. What I brought was Saie Glow Super Gel-I have star glow I recently went with you to Cayman Island and it was really nice. Applying it all over your body, including your collarbones, will make you look very healthy.
Makeup with Mario’s original master matte palette is my new favorite eyeshadow and I have so many palettes of it, so that’s saying a lot. We have all the colors you need. I have them and he has three. I have one in my work bag, one in Palm Heights, and one in my apartment. And even though I’m a person with thick eyebrows, I don’t like overdoing them. Glossiers Boy Brow It really works for me as it is simple and deposits just the right amount of color. I will polish it with a spoolie. Benefits they are real!mascara is my favorite. There is literally nothing left in the tube now. I have thick eyelashes and using voluminous mascaras makes them look very clumpy, but this is not the case. I will buy it again and again.
When it comes to my lips, I’m a straight Charlotte Tilbury girl.I love lip cheat liner in foxy brown And that lip luster gloss in temptation.i have a girlfriend lipstick in very victorian, too. Someone told me it was named after Victoria Beckham.I am this and Kim Koo shade. I’m crazy about that color. I was introduced to a makeup artist. If you really want to, he’ll apply all three: liner, lipstick, and gloss, but sometimes he’ll omit the lipstick and just apply the liner and gloss. It depends on my mood.Oh, I’m getting ready and nothing works like this Vaseline To condition your lips. There’s no way I can win.
Even though it’s hot in Cayman, my makeup doesn’t come off without a setting spray. That’s good because I hate the feel of setting sprays. I’m more concerned about removing excess oil.i carry Clean & Clear Oil Absorption Sheet with me. old school.
hair
My hair is naturally wavy and big, but I like to wear it straight most of the time. What I use is driver straight iron.i have dyson hair dryer, I also have a lot of hair and it takes time to dry it, so I want to grow my straightened hair as long as possible. I think using good products can be effective. I just started using Anablue.they have hair serum and treatment oilbut their scalp cleanser wonderful. I use it once a week instead of shampoo. I am obsessed with washing my hair and love the way it feels. Cleanser is a good addition. It smells very nice.and i love David Mallett Serum #DM027—Hanan Siddiq I got my hair cut at David’s salon in New York. Your hair will become very shiny.Charlotte Mensah is also great. manchetti hair oil. I use it right after I get out of the bath.and loreal elnet satin hairspray It’s OG. That’s the best.
nail
I’m a very simple and boring person when it comes to nails. I sometimes change the color, but I usually choose neutral colors like the ones below. essie ballet shoes. Previously, she chose darker shades like dark brown or deep purple and wore gel manicures, but when her daughter was born (now 6 years old), she didn’t want to pay for the upkeep anymore. If the polish is a neutral color, it won’t be noticeable even if the polish is chipped, so I don’t think it will bother me. That said, if you want to get a gel manicure now for a special occasion, this is where I go. Naomi Yasuda. she’s amazing Otherwise, I’ll stop by anywhere for a regular polish.
scent
The scent of Costa, Brazil It’s my favorite perfume. It’s woody and smoky. The candle also contains my favorite amber. It’s refillable, and I’ve actually used up the bottle I’m currently using, but the container is very unique. I was shocked when there were rumors that the brand was closing down.I go back and forth between it. Bois des Sables by L’Artisan Parfumours. A wonderful rose and pepper scent found in Paris. I love unexpected combinations like this.
Ideally, I’d light some candles to set the mood for the evening, but I don’t usually do that.like Byredo Fleur Fantome There are many, and of course there are ours palm heights candlesthere is also amber. jungle of costa brazil The best candle ever. It’s so luxurious, vegan, and smells like the heart of the Amazon. ”
