5 Things I Bought and Loved in March
Ami Colé Desert Date Cream Blush & Lip Multistick in Flame ($22, available at Ami Colé & Sephora) I’m highlighting the shade Flame but honestly all of the shades are stunning. It’s a cream formula that’s easy to blend and dries down to a soft matte finish. It’s perfect for on-the-go touchups for your cheeks and lips. The shades are pigmented and long-lasting.
BYOMA Melting Balm Cleanser ($14, available at Target) Double cleansing is a must for me, and I’m always down to try new cleansing balms, so I grabbed this on a recent Target run. I am pleasantly surprised with how effective it is as removing sweat and makeup before I go in with my cream/gel cleanser. It contains sea buckthorn, olive fruit extract, and grapeseed oil which leaves my skin feeling clean and nourished. It’s accessible and affordable which is also a plus.
Cay Skin Isle Lip Balm SPF 30 ($14, available at Sephora) I know that I’ve been neglecting sun protection on my lips so I picked this up on a whim on my latest Sephora trip. It’s the perfect combination of nourishing + glossy, and is not sticky at all. I definitely plan to pick up the two tinted shades as well.
Kulfi Mehndi Moment Long-Lasting Radiant Cream Blush in Lucky Lotus ($28, available at Sephora) I didn’t think that I could pull of a purple blush but I wanted to try, and man was I wrong. You only need a tiny amount of product and the payoff is incredible. It lasts the entire day without fading. Lucky Lotus blends out to more of a fuchsia pink than a purple, but it’s safe to say that I’m absolutely in love with how the shade looks on me. There are an additional 4 shades in the line and if you haven’t tried them I would definitely look into them!
NARS The Multiple in Orgasm Rush ($39, available at Sephora or Ulta) It’s been a while since I’ve used a NARS Multiple, but I was immediately influenced by @cocoaswatches with this new, limited edition shade of the iconic orgasm shade. Orgasm Rush is described as a “rosy bronze” and the cream to powder formula can be used on the eyes, lips, and cheeks.
