Friday Five
1. It's hard for me to find products that work for my skin because my skin is so easily irritated. This is why I am usually very hesitant to work with skincare companies or test out new skin care without doing extensive research on the products. With that said, I've sworn by Caudalie's detox mask for a while now and can truly say that it is genuinely one of the masks that makes my skin look the best the next day, so when they reached out to me to send over some products you could just imagine how excited I was about it.So far the new products I've tried from them are the followingGlycolic peel : Great for removing layer of dead skin and revealing brighter more even skin. it is also very gentle compared to other chemical exfoliants I've tried so it is perfect for sensitive skin.Beauty elixir : One of my absolute favorites so far, this stuff makes my skin so plump and hydrated, my skin really loves this stuff. I spray it on right after cleansing and to set my makeup and it seriously makes my makeup look soooo much better & makes my face feel so smooth.Vinosource moisturizing sorebet : Such a great lightweight yet very hydrating moisturizer, you can use it for both daytime and nighttime use. However, I prefer this one for daytime.Premier cru the serum: I think this is the product that has made the biggest difference in my skin in the shortest amount of time, honestly this is a little bit of magic in a bottle. I apply this at night after cleansing and my skin looks so plump and even the next morning, it also feels EXTREMELY soft.Premier cru cream: I've been applying this at night right after the serum and while it is not the heaviest moisturizer out there it sufficiently hydrates and moisturizes my skin and I think that it boosts the results of the serum.Overall, I am so happy with the way my skin has been looking since I incorporated these products into my routine and I will definitely be repurchasing some of them once I run out.
2. As most of you may know I absolutely love the Glossier You perfume so I am so excited that they came out with something so innovative and travel friendly, the solid form! I can just slip this into my purse and have it with me on the go and it is so fun to put on. It is basically a solidified balm that you rub your fingers on and can just put on your skin, surprisingly it does a very good job at transferring the scent onto your skin, just as if you were to have sprayed it on.You can receive 20% off your first glossier order by shopping with me HERE3. The TV show that has been consuming my life lately is Outlander. If you guys ever read my post on finding inspiration you would know that one of my main sources of inspiration is television, specifically shows or movies that speak to my aesthetic. I definitely recommend you give it a watch if you have not seen it, I still haven't finished it yet but so far it's a really great show and a beautiful innovative story.4. Mejuri is launching their latest "boyfriend collection" on Monday the 19th and I'm really loving how bold yet minimal this piece is. I really appreciate pieces that you can just throw on and go and you don't really have to think much about it because it makes a statement all on it's own.There is limited stock on this collection so be sure to sign up for early access HERE5. We are going to start working on our faux fireplace soon and here are some inspo pictures that have been hyping me up to get started on this project.
Favorite Dainty Rings
It is no surprise that I have a little bit of a ring obsession. I don't really own a lot of jewelry but I have noticed that I have a bit of a ring collection going on so I wanted to share some of my favorite rings with you.
When it comes to jewelry, or pretty much anything for that matter, I like simplicity and versatility. I want my rings to be able to go with everything and even though I like to wear a lot of rings all at once, I don't want it to look like I'm wearing brass knuckles. With that said, I am very happy with the collection I have so far. Here are some of my favorite/most worn pieces.
1. This is one of my newest rings and it has already become one of my absolute favorites. It is a signet ring with a G engraved on it and I wear it on my pinky.
2. One of my favorite stones are opal stones so I really love this dual ring which has a white opal stone and a black diamond on top, I love how unique it is.
3. I love evil eye jewelry but sometimes I feel like they could be a little over the top so I love how subtle this evil eye ring is compared to others I've seen.
4. Love the black diamonds on this ring. I actually got this one here but I don't see it on the site anymore but mejuri makes something almost identical.
5. I feel like everyone needs a dainty white diamond ring and this one is perfect by itself or stacked with others.
6. I've been obsessed with circular jewelry/accessories lately so I had to have this 360 ring in my collection, it is so simple yet makes such a statement.
7. Everyone needs the perfect stacking rings and I have these from mejuri. I have a smaller size for my pinky and a larger size for my other fingers.
8. This is my only midi ring and I love how I can adjust it to fit almost all of my fingers.
9.This is another one of my favorite stacking rings but I also love wearing this one on my thumb or by itself.
As far as quality, It comes down to how long you want your jewelry to last. I have dabbled in inexpensive jewelry purchases here and there and time after time the jewelry goes bad within months ( just my experience) so to me it is worth spending a little more on jewelry that is going to last. As long as you know that it is a classic piece that will not go out of style anytime soon or ever, I think it is worth spending a bit more.
