Last week was jam packed. Always a great feeling, but I had to re-learn a life lesson again: Self care is important. While everyone has different needs, my love language is and has always been glam. It makes me feel like my best self—especially when I’m really, really busy.
Here are a few things I used to the last drop this week. They are absolutely worth the money—I will be buying new ones, and you should, too!
Chloe Misseldine (@chloemisseldine) documenting my on-set mess.
Mists are one of my favorite pick-me-ups. I love this one when I get home from work and again right before bed. It’s an enchanting, soothing Hawaiian Sandalwood tonic. As an extra bonus, it’s infused with smoky quartz for grounding. Basically it’s an energetic shower and I always look forward to it. I’m always instantly relaxed by it, and love that I can smell it on my skin for a few minutes.
Retrouvé Conditioning Tonic with Chamomile
This purifying, exfoliating, moisturizing, and softening toner is a must have. It’s a pretty magical concoction, and you can tell the difference after using it for just a few days. It’s the perfect mix of exfoliation and hydration thanks to the sodium lactate and hyaluronic acid combination. When I ran out this week, I was sad until I realized I had another one. (I don’t always think ahead, but I’m so proud of myself when I do.)
Chantecaille Luminescent Eye Shade
I wear this eyeshadow every day. I use a few shades, but this week I ran out of Pangolin, one of my very favorites. It’s a lovely lilac and I get compliments every time I wear it. Its non-fussy gel-powder formula is mistake proof and fabulously easy to use—I apply it with my finger. It takes minutes and looks like I tried really hard (I didn’t).
I’ve had a lasting love affair with this gorgeous eyeliner. Chanel recently expanded the shades as well, which is… thrilling. It’s very waterproof, but you can still smudge it out. Try a fun one, like the new Or Rose, in addition to the Noir Intense (which I ran out of this week).
Lilfox Azure Tranquil Blue Aura Soak
This soak is the best after a long day, or any day really. Your muscles will be in heaven with the Atlantic sea salt / magnesium / coconut milk blend. It’s also a fun bright blue (marine algae + spirulina—no chemicals ever) which adds to the relaxing vibe. You need this soak in your life. I’d never been a bath person until I discovered the Lilfox soaks. I am a changed person.
Next week, we’ll have a longer letter on all things sunscreen!
