Divine finish foundation
If you follow me on Instagram, you would know I have posted about the package I got from an Italian brand- Samer Khouzami. I have been using their products for the last 2 months and boy I am in love with them. Each and every product I got are pure love. Today I am going to review Samer Khouzami Divine Matt Liquid Foundation*. By the way, you can find Samer Khouzami products in Sephora stores but I am not sure if they are available in India yet.
Price- $52/ ₹3960 approx
The packaging of the Samer Khouzami Divine Matt Liquid Foundation is luxurious and stands out among all my foundation. It comes in a smooth, matte finished glass bottle with a golden lid. There is a pump dispenser that allows control over the foundation. There is no information written over the bottle except for the shade name and the best before date so you will have to visit the website to know more details about the foundation.
There are 20 shades available and I am sure there is something for everyone. This is something that our Indian brands lack. I chose #25 and #35 for my fair, slight yellow undertone skin and I find both gave me almost same result but #35 was better than #25 when observed closely. I am NC18 and both the shades gave me natural yet flawless look. Both the shades will suit people with neutral and slight yellow undertones.
The foundation has slightly thin formulation with no fragrance. It blends into the skin like a dream. It is advised to use a brush to blend the foundation but boy I love using my fingers and the final look I get is natural, flawless, matte yet awesome look. The pigmentation is medium to high and it covers all minor redness, spots, pimples and dark circles. The staying power is pretty good as well. It stays on my combination skin the whole with no oxidation or dullness. My face stays fresh the whole day. Make sure you apply a good moisturizer to make the foundation look flawless with no patches or dryness.
The best thing I like about Samer Khouzami Divine Matt Liquid Foundation is that it does not break out my sensitive skin. It doesn’t look cakey despite giving full coverage. This foundation is being used by makeup artists on their brides as well.
- Packaging screams luxury.
- A little goes a long way.
- Gives medium to full coverage.
- Can be used as a concealer but I love using Samer Khouzami concealer (review coming soon).
- Light weight. Does not make your face look greasy.
- Does not settle into fine lines.
- Gives an even, natural and matte finish.
- Suits normal, combination and oily skin.
- Blends out quickly and does not enhance pores.
- Long wearing. Stays put the whole day.
- Gives a beautiful matte finish.
- My skin looks flawless and bright.
- Can cover redness, dark circles, spots and pimples.
- Gives natural look to the skin.
- Worldwide shipping! I was not charged with customs fees!
- Pricey but it's totally worth the investment!
Overall Thoughts:
I love Samer Khouzami Divine Matt Liquid Foundation as much as I love my MAC foundation. It gives such a beautiful, flawless yet natural look to my skin. It doesn’t tend to oxidize and gives fresh look to my skin the whole day. I would highly recommend it to everyone.
- Always, always moisturize your face well before starting with your makeup. Believe me it makes a hell LOTS OF DIFFERENCE.
- Follow the foundation with a compact powder to set it well.
- Make sure you buy the correct foundation shade!

Wiccans believe that fire is a powerful symbol of transformation and purification. They may dance and sing around the fire, offering prayers and intentions for the coming year. Some also choose to jump over the fire as a way to cleanse themselves and release any negative energy or burdens. Another common tradition is the making of flower crowns. Wiccans see flowers as symbols of beauty, growth, and life. They may gather flowers and create intricate crowns or garlands to wear during the solstice celebrations. This act is often seen as a way to honor the Earth and connect with the natural world. In addition to these rituals, Wiccans may also engage in divination practices, such as tarot card readings or scrying. This is done to gain insight and guidance for the future, as the solstice is seen as a powerful time for spiritual growth and transformation. Overall, the Sumner Solstice holds great importance to Wiccans, as it represents a time of celebration, gratitude, and connection with the natural world. Through their rituals and traditions, Wiccans seek to harness the energy of the sun and the Earth, and to honor the cycles of life and the changing seasons..
Reviews for "Exploring the Cosmic Energy during the Sumner Solstice in Wiccan Traditions"
1. Rebecca - 1 star - This event was a complete letdown. The supposed "wivcan traditions" were nothing more than a few people dressed in weird costumes, mumbling incomprehensible words. The organizers promised an immersive experience, but it felt like a cheap attempt at cashing in on a trend. Save your money and skip this event!
2. John - 2 stars - I was looking forward to experiencing some unique wivcan traditions at the Sumner solstice event, but it fell short of my expectations. The activities were poorly organized, and the explanations given by the event staff were vague and confusing. There was no clear structure to the event, and it left me feeling disappointed. I would not recommend attending this event unless significant improvements are made.
3. Sarah - 2 stars - The idea of embracing wivcan traditions during the summer solstice intrigued me, but the execution was lacking. The event lacked depth and authenticity. It felt more like a commercialized version of wivcan practices rather than an actual celebration of the traditions. The workshops and activities were shallow and failed to provide any meaningful insight into the rituals and beliefs. Overall, it was a missed opportunity to connect with the rich history and spirituality of wivcan traditions.
4. Michael - 1 star - I attended the Sumner solstice wivcan traditions event with high hopes, but I left feeling disappointed and unimpressed. The event lacked proper organization, and it was clear that the organizers were unprepared. The workshops and demonstrations were dull and failed to capture the essence of wivcan practices. The event felt more like a haphazard gathering of individuals rather than a well-planned celebration. I would not recommend wasting your time and money on this lackluster event.
