I don’t know why it took me so long to open my bottle of Source that was graciously sent to me in PR AGES ago, but I’m so glad that I finally did. It’s an incredibly hydrating essence with 79% cica to deeply calm and nourish the skin. The consistency is similar to that of Rhode’s Glazing Milk, so this was bound to be an immediate love.
This is the one thing I had on my Christmas list, and they’re so much better than I ever imagined. They’re incredibly comfortable; I've worn them to run errands around town and to go on a few morning walks. Plus I love the white + silver combo, I feel like it elevates a basic outfit so much!
I had been looking for a cute, elevated cardigan for a while, saw this one and knew I had to have it immediately. It’s definitely lightweight, so I wouldn’t recommend this if you live anywhere colder than Florida (lol). I’ve been pairing this with barrel jeans and a kitten heel, which makes an otherwise basic outfit more polished. PS, it’s currently on sale!
Old Navy clearly has me in a chokehold, but I don’t even mind because the quality of their clothing has greatly increased in the past year or so (imo). This tee is incredibly comfy and easy to just throw on with some leggings or bike shorts and a little bit of jewelry to pull the fit together. I ordered 4 of them in a size small (I’m usually a medium) but I knew because the fit is oversized that the S would work. This is the shade Volcanic Glass pictured here. I also have Navy Blue, Panther, Howlite, and Calla Lillies—but there are 21 shades to choose from!
If you’re a gourmand lover, I promise you don’t have anything like this in your collection. This limited edition scent is creamy and comforting, with notes of Caribbean condensed milk tea, cinnamon, brown sugar, and then dries down into sandalwood and tonka bean. I haven’t been able to put this scent down since it was delivered, and I don’t plan on doing so anytime soon. This also pairs so deliciously with my all time favorite, Brown Girl Jane Casino EDP.
I’ve loved this brush from the moment it was sent to me earlier in the spring, but I was gravitating towards it way more last month than I anticipated. It’s the perfect balance between soft and dense, and it seamlessly blends both liquids and creams with little effort. It definitely works as well if not better than other high end options.
Covergirl said Summer Fridays WHO? I’m a fan of the SF butter balms but not a huge fan of the price point. Covergirl butter balms come hit the market at half the price but at an almost identical formula. I particularly love the toasted vanilla marshmallow.
