Jo Malone Scarlet Poppy Cologne Intense

We have a new scent! I repeat, we have a new scent! Jo Malone’s new Scarlet Poppy Cologne Intense is a transportive fragrance that’s pretty much all I want to smell like right now. With notes of Iris and Ambrette, plus base notes of Tonka Bean, I need this signed, spritzed, delivered. Truly, I can’t stop sniffing my wrist all day.

Maybelline Sky High Mascara

I love a good mascara discovery, but people…THIS IS THE ONE. This mascara is magical, achieving volume, separation, and length as I have NEVER experienced before. It’s incredible for the price point (or ANY price point), and if you need further proof, check out the reviews and know that beauty gurus are hoarding this stuff like crazy making it increasingly hard to find. I originally discovered it via @kathleenjenningsbeauty on Instagram who performed several comparison tests with much more expensive alternatives and this one was consistently the champion. Now that I have it in my possession (and speaking as someone…

Scent-Free ELEMIS Cleansing Balm

This is SUCH good news for anyone who’s sensitive to scents. ELEMIS has just released a scent-free version of their insanely popular pro-collagen cleansing balm. You’re well aware of how much I adore this cleanser, and, personally, I NEED the scent of the original version in my life, but I know that not everyone has the same olfactory preferences that I do. Scented products can also make people with very sensitive skin have irritations and breakouts, so this development is pretty stellar for anyone scent-sensitive. Enjoy all of the efficacy, and none of the scent!

Gel Polish Removal Clips

We’ve all had to make some adjustments to our beauty routines over the last year, but I’ve actually been a fan of doing my own gel manicures for quite a while. Perhaps you’ve seen my tutorial on Memorandum or IGTV? It’s an excellent (and socially distant!) way to keep your nails looking stunning, regardless of your access to a salon. HOWEVER, taking off gel manicures can be tricky, especially if you want to avoid damaging your nail beds which can be caused by peeling off polish or using harsh scraping techniques. That’s why I love these gel polish removal clips…

Coco & Eve Hair Mask

Yes, this conditioning hair mask is very “Instagram ad where everyone raves about it,” but there’s a reason for that. IT’S SO GOOD. Coco & Eve’s Like A Virgin Super Nourishing Coconut & Fig Hair Masque is a major boost of hydration and nourishment for dry, frazzled, and all-around needy strands of hair in absolutely every hair type. The mask uses coconut, fig, shea butter, linseed and argan oil to strengthen and restore your hair—plus it’s a super-concentrated formula, so a little goes a long way (this tub will last you forever). Once you try it, you’ll tell everyone about…

NARS St Germain des Prés Eyeshadow Palette

Is it possible to have romantic feelings for an eyeshadow palette? This limited-edition NARS eyeshadow palette has six warm and neutral shades in a variety of finishes, and the rich colors and French names for each hue have me absolutely longing for Parisian travel once again. Someday my friends. SOMEDAY!

PROVEN Skincare

I’m sharing a full blog post with you tomorrow about PROVEN, the revolutionary, science-backed skincare company that’s truly changing the face (pun intended?) of the skincare world. The company provides a fully customized skincare regimen that’s rooted in science and the largest beauty and skincare database in the world, their proprietary Skin Genome Project. Here’s how it works: You take an online questionnaire that mimics the evaluation you’d get at a dermatologist’s office and based upon your unique skin concerns, lifestyle and environmental factors (they even take into consideration the hardness of water where you live), PROVEN formulates a custom…

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Eyeliner Pencil

In super fun news, pregnancy is inexplicably making my eyelashes shrivel and wither away into dust. AWESOME. To compensate, I’ve been wearing more eyeliner because it makes me feel like… I’m taking control of the situation? The Urban Decay pencil is my current favorite because of how smoothly it glides on and how well it stays ALL DAY. Seriously, it doesn’t budge and it’s also waterproof. The pencil comes in a super wide array of the absolute best colors, but my personal favorites are Whiskey (a matte dark brown) and Bourbon (a shimmery dark brown).

Ulta Beauty Steals

There are countless beauty products massively discounted in Ulta’s Cyber Monday sale, though I’ve narrowed it down to a few things currently in my cart: this nude eyeshadow palette ($6!!) this similar bronze palette (seriously every shade is perfect and highly usable), this contour/blush brush, and this brow pen that’s been on my list of things to try for far too long.
