SEPHORA SPRING SAVINGS EVENT

The Sephora VIB Sale Event is almost here! Save this post for ideas on what to purchase - I’m including some all time favorites and new products I think deserve to be added to my vanity!

This year I am purchasing some favorite products that I know I love and some new products - I am always intrigued with new skincare and makeup products and I love exploring and discovering new features.

SKINCARE

Favorite products that I love and have used for a while are the Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Extra Strength Daily Peels and Summer Fridays Super Amino Gel Cleanser and Shani Darden Cleansing Serum. I am very intrigued to try the Clinical Grade Resurfacing Liquid Peel by Dr. Dennis Gross and the Necessaire The Deodorant Gel. Also, the Clarity Kit from Paula’s Choice is a must try for me as I have read a lot of good reviews. I have listed the rest of the products in my LTK shop.

HAIR CARE

All the hair care products I have included in the list for this sale are new products for me. I love the Dae Shampoo and Conditioner - they smell divine - and I’m excited to try their new styling cream. All the products from The Inkey List look so interesting and you cannot beat their price - everything is under $15!

MAKEUP

I love the Ilia Super Serum Skin Tint and I will continue to use it daily, but I really want to try the new Kosas and Ilia foundations. They look amazing on pictures. Makeup by Mario is a brand I’ve been wanting to try since he came out with it. He is a legend and has amazing techniques - I can’t wait to try the Master Mattes Liquid Eyeliner and Master Pigment Pro Eyeliner Pencil as well as the Ultra Suede Cozy Lip Creme. The design of all the products looks so sleek!

Happy shopping!

I will report back with my purchases after I use them for some time.

3 BLAZERS $50 & UNDER

Blazers are a staple for my wardrobe. I do consider them investment pieces and I splurge many times, but it is not necessary to spend a lot of money on them. Below are three oversized blazers I have purchased from Amazon in neutral tones and they are worth exploring them.

Follow me on LTK to shop the products I styled them with.

This neutral color blazer (1) is suitable for all year around. It is great for daytime and nighttime outfits and it pairs well with jeans and dresses. I am really impressed with it. It has a clean cut and it is very lightweight. The color I purchased is khaki and the size is medium. If you like the oversized style, then order a size bigger. Otherwise, order your normal size.

The second neutral blazer (2) I purchased ended up too big, but it worked out great as a blazer dress. I order size medium - definitely order your normal size for this one as it is an oversized blazer. I think it would look great with casual street style outfits. I will keep experimenting with this one and update my thoughts on it.

I love a white blazer (3), especially in the spring time. I wear it over a dress or jeans and it instantly elevates the look. It is a very pretty blazer for any time of the day or night and can be styled with formal outfits. The size I am wearing is medium. Again, if you like the oversized style, then order a size bigger. Otherwise, order your normal size.

Which one is your favorite?

SPENDING THE DAY IN THE CITY

A much needed day to take a pause on everyday life and re-charge!

The pressure of our every day lives sometimes draws upon us quite a bit. As a new mother, I am trying to balance raising our daughter and providing the best for her, while having a full time job and building my own dream. Many sleep deprived nights and days and countless cups of iced coffee!

Today was a perfect day to catch up with my sister and spend the day in the city walking around.

New York City is just so powerful and beautiful! The moment I step outside, my energy changes. This day was filled with activities that I enjoy and I am sure will lift me up!

First stop was Eataly Flatiron for a much needed iced latte. One of my favorite spots in the city for grocery shopping, wine shopping and sipping and coffee. My go to coffee drink is iced latte with almond milk - I’m committed to it even in the coldest of days! Next stop was Sephora to pick up a few of the everyday essentials. Sephora is definitely a place I find peace in. You can find what I bought here.

Next stop was Strand Bookstore to buy a few books for my 10-month old daughter. Also, visited the traveling section to see where we should go next! We haven’t decided yet, but definitely in need of a vacation.

Final stop was Hillstone for lunch and a glass of wine, because a glass of wine makes everything better. Hillstone was a favorite place to go after work pre-pandemic, so every time we go back, it brings good memories! And let’s be honest, good food and wine, along with good company, make life more enjoyable and recharge you!

Use this as your reminder to take a moment to yourself!
