Hi friends and happy Wednesday! Lately I feel like every time I sit down to write, I end up wandering into my emotions. So today, I’m lightening things up with a round-up of 10 things I’ve tried lately and loved.
Some of these I’ve mentioned before, and a few are brand new. Either way, they’ve all earned a spot on my “worth sharing” list.
Let’s do this.
- Miracle denim—and you won’t believe the price! I’d heard about these stretchy, wide-leg jeans from Target and resisted trying them…until this week. I’m here to report they are awesome. I’m wearing an 8R, which is true to size for me. And the best part? They’re $28!
- Lady Gaga knows what she’s doing. I love a good makeup tutorial, and a number of the women I follow rave about Lady Gaga’s Haus Labs line. Last week I got color-matched for the Skin Tech Foundation in shade 160 Light Neutral, and it reminds me so much of the Victoria Beckham foundation drops I loved (but can’t find anywhere right now). Bonus: the Haus Labs version is about half the price!
- Deep-healing moisture. I’m not sure why my skin has been so dry lately, but the itchiness has been real. I’ve been using Prequel Barrier Therapy before bed and it’s really helping.
- Spring baubles. BaubleBar sent me a few pieces from their just-launched spring collection and they’re getting me excited for warmer weather. Layering necklaces is still having a moment, and I love playing with the colors of this strand and this one. They’re also great worn on their own. (P.S. I’m very picky about necklaces being heavy—and these are not.)
- Your Favorite Ex. These exfoliating pads from YSE Beauty are the bomb. Gentle but effective. Two thumbs up!
- Contour and gloss. I’m already thinking about spring break, and these colors will be so good with a tan: the Westman Atelier Face Trace Contour Stick in Biscuit (it melts right into your skin) and Iris & Romeo’s Weekend Skin Moisture Lip Balm in Suede. It even has SPF 30.
- Easter ready. Target was showing off today with all of their cute Easter items. These napkin rings, mugs, and salad plates (the prettiest pink!) are adorable.
- To creatine or not to creatine. I’ve read so many things about the benefits of creatine, but I do sometimes wonder how many supplements are too many supplements. Kourtney Kardashian’s company Lemme sent me their creatine gummies to try, and they definitely make it easy to take before a workout. The flavor is good and the texture isn’t weird, which honestly feels like half the battle.
- Pores be gone. This is my latest obsession. The Versed Skin Refine Gentle Pore Clearing Serum is really living up to its name. I use just a little on my T-zone each night and I swear my pores are shrinking.
- Are ice rollers cool again? Apparently yes! Skinny Confidential sent me their new-and-improved one and it’s so good! One side is for ice rolling and smoothing, the other for contouring and sculpting. It stays cold longer than any mini roller I’ve tried and helps reduce redness, depuff, and tighten skin. I’m back to rolling my face while I make my coffee in the morning—the best.
I hope this little round-up was a nice break in the middle of your day. Sharing the things I’ve been loving lately is always one of my favorite parts of writing here.
