No. 1
Westman Atelier Vital Skin Foundation Stick
You are already well aware of my obsession with Westman Atelier products but I recently bought a darker shade in their foundation stick for summer and, once again, am so happy. I apply the lighter shade as more of a concealer and the darker shade as a basic foundation. I truly cannot say enough good things about Gucci Westman’s line and always feel a little extra pampered every time I use her products. If you don’t already have a Westman Atelier product, her foundation is a great place to start (along with her stunning highlighter stick).
No. 2
Nécessaire Body Lotion
Ever heard of the quote, “Less is more”? Well, the brand Nécessaire exemplifies just that. This lotion (& brand) has earned a lot of hype throughout the beauty industry and I am here to attest to the quality of this cult-following product. This fragrance-free body lotion not only nourishes, tones, and strengthens the skin, the $25 lotion’s ingredient standards surpasses some of the most cult-following products in the beauty industry. What I especially love about this lotion is the fact that it absorbs into the skin effortlessly and I am never left feeling sticky or oily long after. I also have keratosis pilaris on my arms and after using this product, I noticed significant improvement in the texture and redness of my skin. Nécessaire checks all of the boxes for me; 1. EWG-verified ingredients, 2. super affordable, 3. the amount of product you receive, and 4. the ultra-chic packaging.
No. 3
Maison Louis Marie No. 4 candle
After getting a whiff of a burning candle in one of my favorite gift stores, White’s Mercantile, I couldn’t stop thinking about the smell for days. I went back to the store and made it my mission to figure out who made this ultra-luxe candle. The staff immediately knew what I was describing and led me to Maison Louis Marie No. 4 candle. I was not only impressed by the light yet indulgent aroma, but the very reasonable price tag. For just $34, this candle gives you intriguing scents of sandalwood, vetiver, and amber wood in a sophisticated, aesthetically-pleasing jar. Maison Louis Marie candles (personally) trumps many of the lux candle brands out there.
No. 4
Barbara Sturm Face Cream
By now, Barbara Sturm has definitely become a ‘Go-To’ in regards to anything skincare so when I was looking for a more hydrating, nourishing moisturizer that covered all my bases, I wasn’t the least bit surprised when this face cream was referred to me. This product has been a life-saver for my skin lately and I love that it doesn’t take five different serums to achieve the same results as just one cream. Will I say it is my hands-down, favorite face cream I have ever used? No, but it will definitely be in my skincare rotation, without fail.
No. 5:
Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask
Okay…talk about a god send. After trying one of my friend’s Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask, I was beyond shocked. Not only was I shocked that (just after one application) it left my lips perfectly plump and hydrated, but after seeing the results I was surprised my friend even shared hers with me period. I will be the first one to say, “I am addict to this stuff now” and it has made it to the top of my ‘Desert-Island’ list. Did I also mention that one jar of this balm will last you yearsssss? Go ahead a throw out your 10 yr old Carmex that is currently the bottom of your center console and upgrade your lip game with this delicious product.
No. 6
Ritual Women’s Multivitamin
I made it my mission early in the year to find a complete and clean-ingredient multivitamin without having a whole list of useless additives or gagging at the taste of each pill. Not only is Ritual SUPER easy to use, it leaves your mouth tasting minty (which I personally appreciate). Their fool-proof subscription method is not only comparatively affordable but also incredibly easy to regulate. You really can’t go wrong with this multivitamin and can upgrade to a prenatal or cancel anytime!
