May 2019 Empties

I’m back this month with more empties and for the second time in a row, I have a really big set of empties. I’m pretty determined to use up a lot of my skincare, and actually just passed on a bunch of it to some friends. As hard as I try, I am just not … Continue reading May 2019 Empties →

Woosh, this is going to be a long one, everyone. I haven’t done a round-up in over a month, so in order to keep this post manageable, I’m going to do a selected roundup. I blame my laziness. March 22 I’ve been using the By Terry Baume de Rose lip balm for over a month … Continue reading Instagram Roundup #3 →

#diptyqueParisgiftedme this stunning #citycandle for Berlin. . I studied abroad in Berlin in college, but even before college, I spent years wanting to live there. (Fun fact: I speak German! I'm a little rusty but can still read/understand). I've visited once since then and miss the city so much. It was a city I immediately felt at home in and only learned to love more with its culture, its history (the good and the bad), the people, food...everything. . This candle takes me right back to running through the streets and parks in the mornings under the Linden trees. Before I ordered this candle this is exactly what I would say Berlin smells like and opening this candle took me right back to my times there. . Needless to say @diptyque are some of the best quality candles I have. I took this out from the box and left it on my counter for a week before burning it and the scent was already filling the room. They also always burn cleanly for me so it's easy to clean out the jar after its finished. . You can bet this will be a really special candle for me to burn and I'm already planning a trip back for next year..... . #diptyque #octoly

Recent skincare loves featuring many products. . I've been enjoying all these so much although the real highlights have been: @freshbeauty vitamin nectar glow juice @jurliqueusa rosewater mist* @frenchgirlorganics lumiere jasmine body glow oil from my @verdelusso box @cosrx snail 96 essence @sundayriley good genes . I'm also quickly making my way through a lot of these so itll be perfect timing with all the new skincare I've gotten recently! . Spot any favorites? *gifted

Neutrals as usual to transition from summer to fall. Fall is my favorite season so I couldnt be more excited to say goodbye to summer. . @byterryofficial tinted hydra powder* is a new release, and since the original translucent is already a holy grail so I'm excited to see how the tinted version works for me @welovecoco les indispensables always seemed more like a fall neutral palette so I know I'll be using this like crazy @kosascosmetics contrachroma is just the perfect all around neutral blush duo that goes with everything @chanel.beauty mademoiselle is just a classic neutral @kjaerweis lip tint in captivate is a neutral slightly brown toned lip balm with a slight shimmer that adds a little bit of a kick. . Also excited we finally made it to Friday! This week has been a bit of a jet lagged daze but I think I'm mostly back to normal 🤞🏼

Transitional makeup in the works and bringing out some loved products that havent been used in awhile. . @marcjacobsbeauty bronzer still going strong even though the pan is broken @chanel.beauty / @welovecoco Alezane blush for a glowy brownish nude blush @zoevacosmetics caramel melange palette @diormakeup rising star . So excited the week is almost over 😃 the first week of work after vacation is always the longest week. Anyone have plans for the weekend?

I picked up @ctilburymakeup birkin brown a little while ago and I am more than psyched to wear it nonstop this fall. As a 90s baby growing up in the 00s, I cringed at brown lipsticks and only wanted baby pink lipsticks, but now I cant get enough of brown tones! Anyone else?

Not quite a complete texture post for today's #texturetuesday but I love the texture of @tomfordbeauty reflects gilt and @buxomcosmetics seychelles. . @aetherbeautyco palette @ritueldefilleove spell is fall coppery goodness @patmcgrathreal bronze temptation . Jet lag is kicking my ass but I'm already managing to sleep through the night and stay awake (most of) the day, but my brain is definitely still not functioning 😂 how are you all?
