I know it’s getting warmer because people keep asking me how I get my skin so glowy not realizing that I gave up on fighting oily skin years ago. I layer on the sunscreen, skip the powder, and go on with my life. Life’s too short to worry about the things you can’t change. Anyway, with that in mind, here’s some lovely skincare, and you’re going to want to save this post so you remember what to get for the Sephora sale next week. Fenty Butta Drop, the whipped shimmering body oil that melts on your hand, is now available in a larger size. The mini size is $33 for 75ml, $61 for 200ml, or $107 for 500ml, and if you’re calculating the price per ml, of course, the largest size works out best. The mini is great for travelling. This is a rich cream that melts like butter in your hands. The shimmer is not over the top and neither is the scent. It’s my favourite fancy body butter.
Speaking of Fenty, the irony of my Fenty Cookies N Clean cleanser next to my Charlotte Tilbury cleanser. It’s like a mother-daughter day at my sink, with the Fenty clearly for younger kids and the CT for more serious skincare enthusiasts (people with dry skin, meaning not kids?).
As much hate as kids using skincare are getting these days, I like that Fenty is giving them fun skincare and not baby retinol. Works for me. Swipe to see texture shots of each – the Fenty is a gritty scrub, and the CT cleanser is smooth and creamy. It’s actually my favourite to second cleanse with because it foams but gives you a creamy cushiony foam and washes away clean. It smells like gardenias and that tells you who they think their target consumer is, but also it is called the Magic Hydration Revival Cleanser so… actually, I don’t know. If you’re still reading, I just downloaded the Substack app and it’s nice to read things without being caught up in pictures. Like, you’re ONLY there to read. It’s wild.
