Beauty:
1. L'Oreal Voluminous Mascara in 335 Carbon Black - This is the blackest mascara that I've ever tried. I like the formula because it isn't super wet so your lashes won't clump and I think it really separates and elongates my lashes when I wear it. I'll be repurchasing this forever.
2. Clean "Skin" Rollerball Perfume - Based on the notes of this scent (Fresh Musk, Copabia Oil, Salted Praline) I didn't think that I would like it at all and especially not in the summer, BUT there is something about the way this scent works with my body chemistry and the heat of the summer that makes me smell magical.
3. Twinkled T Nail Vinyls - My new favorite thing to do is get my nails done at a salon in a solid color of dip powder and then use nail vinyls (which are stencils) to add my own cute designs! It's way more affordable than getting nail art at a salon and I get to tap into my own creativity! I recently purchased a Halloween themed sheet of stencils from Twinkled T because Halloween can't come early enough in my opinion! I'm planning on using them very soon and I'll include photos of the results in my next post!
Skincare:
1. SOL DE JANEIRO Brazilian Bum Bum Cream - Smells amazing, is super moisturizing, but I don't know if it's firmed my "bum bum" really. The smell and feeling of my skin after I use it is enough for me to repurchase though.
2. SUPERGOOP! Unseen Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 40 - The feeling of this sunscreen on the skin takes a while to get used to. It has a super aggressive silicone slip to it that is a little off putting at first to be completely honest, but I do like this under makeup. I will use this up and look for an SPF that has more of a cream consistency to it.
Lifestyle:
1. Schick Hydro Silk Women's TrimStyle Razor - I love that this is dual-ended so you can trim the hairs first which makes it easier to shave them away. The strip that is around the blades is moisturizing when mixed with water so it leaves the shaved area smooth and silky. Perfect summer staple for feeling clean and easy breezy.
2. Pedicures - This isn't a product, but at the beginning of summer I began getting pedicures every 3-ish weeks with my mom as a way to plan time to see each other and get some self care in my week. I'm a BIG fan of pedicures and if you're ever in Chico, CA I would suggest trying Lucy's Nails because everyone there is lovely and they have a great selection of polishes to choose from.
Fashion:
1. Torrid Premium Black Scoop Neck Cami - I also have this in Olive and these tops are everything! They are soft and loosely fitted. They look great with cropped black leggings (a staple for me) and denim shorts. I'll definitely continue wearing these into Fall and probably Winter with cardigans and jackets!
2. Torrid Black Stretch Linen Shortall (Unfortunately this item is no longer available) - I'm sorry that this item isn't available any longer because it's great! The straps are adjustable which is super important and they are a great length. If Torrid brings this back sometime I would suggest snagging it.
3. Keds Triple Solids in Aqua - I've been super into platform shoes this summer and I couldn't say no to this color since I've been wearing black a ton this season. They add a nice pop of color and are decently comfortable. Be warned though, they are super narrow and I'm still trying to break them in to see if they stretch at all.
Home:
1. Project 62 White Entenza Wire Geometric Table Lamp - I actually have two of these lamps, one on my makeup table and one on my nightstand and I love them! The geometric structural design is interesting to look at and it doesn't look bulky which I like.
2. Project 62 Cast Metal Steer Head Skull in Gold - This has a weighty feel and looks great on my bedroom wall. This piece looks more golden in person and I think this is a great affordable piece of decor!
3. Room Essentials Eye Decorative Mirror Wall Sculpture in Gold - Big fan of this! This looks great on my bedroom wall also! Super affordable and cute!
Alright guys, that's all I have for you. See you in my next post!
