Happy Memorial Day Weekend everyone!
Anyone doing a little shopping in between barbecuin' and beachin'?
I wanted to share some things I'm really enjoying right now. Maybe it'll inspire you to scoop up one or two items.
First of all, this top picture is driving me CRAZY. I did everything under the sun to rotate it properly and it refuses to cooperate but guess what? Keep calm and blog on!
When I saw this on display at Nordstrom, I thought it was new.
My friend Kristina educated me on the fact that it's not new - but reintroduced!!
Anyway, I stopped to smell it and I was blown away completely. The smell is Spring in a bottle. There's no other way to describe it. It was intoxicating. I had to have it - a bit pricey so I decided to sleep on it. I couldn't stop smelling my arm all night. The next morning I went for my coat and got another whiff of it lingering.....HAD TO HAVE IT. Glad I got it. You will be too!
Lighter and sweeter than the original Stella by Stella McCartney.
Gorgeous, sophisticated and a drop more playful. Also, this has some serious staying power. I can smell it on myself at the end of the night from spritzing at 7:00am!
I am just about out of my Nars Laguna Bronzer and thank goodness because this product couldn't have come at a better time. I find that it is a bronzer and highlighter in one!
It is so beautiful on the face. Not heavy at all, not orange, not too dark (they have a darker color for deeper skin tones) and very glowy! Yes, that's a word. :)
This, like the other Hourglass products I have grown to love, is a smash hit.
Shout out to my friend Kelly who I know is loving this item as well right now!
I might not return to Laguna........the bronzer, I mean. lol
Marc claims "High Shine"....and he is a man of his word. I have A LOT of lip gloss and to this day, literally, nothing I own outshines this lip gloss. You couldn't get a better shine if you dipped your lips in honey! Very light, not thick and gooey. I got the color "Pink Steam".
This is the first Marc Jacobs Beauty product I purchased - now I'm on a rampage - I want em' all!
I have naturally pink cheeks and I find that most colors don't show up very much when I apply them. Sometimes, I would prefer more than a wash of color. Sometimes I want POW! I enjoy a nice pigmented blush. This product is exactly that. Amazing. It's limited edition. If I ever run out, I might cry.
I don't wear foundation really so I don't have a need for the big beauty blender. I have gotten back into my concealer routine (which is Bobbi Brown Hydrating Eye Moisturizer, Bobbi Brown Corrector and Dior Star Concealer) and this product is perfect for the job! It's small enough for the corners of your eyes and if you use it damp, it helps not to cake on the concealer and make it look natural. Much like the big beautyblender would do for your face.
It's been a good month for products! I hope I don't discover or fall in love with anything new this month....how am I supposed to pay my rent?!
Thanks for reading....... let's just say I'm a girl with great taste but a baaaaad influence!
