A few of my favourite things… and I hate to be that person who is complaining about the weather but it is freezing here and has been the last few days, but I noticed that the new Fenty collection matched my favourite swimsuit, so here we are. Swipe through for more details, including the shades of the Poutsicle lip stains.
The hair brush is from Aveda and the pretty print on the back was created in collaboration with 3.1 Philip Lim. A really pretty hair towel goes with that, and Aveda just makes really nourishing products. This brush is a travel size, and I do have a larger size of it too from years ago and it’s a beautiful but gentle brush.
Fenty Poutsicles are pretty dark lip stains – a deep purple and pink and I’ve shown them on a reel but here they are on my bathroom counter. They do go on deep and last through a cup of coffee.
Bright nails for the spring via Biosculpture nail polishes. Available at salons only, but I’ve seen everyone wearing these shades.
I’m also testing out the new Sisley scents. No real thoughts yet, but I’m going to have to give them some skin time later this week.
These days I’m using the Bioderma micellar water to take off my makeup, which is just lip stain and tubing mascara most days. It’s gentle and the mascara just slides off. Use it after a hot day outside because it works on sunscreen too. Of course, washing your sunscreen off at the end of the day is best, but this is not bad, so it would work if you have a moment where you can’t get to the sink to properly wash your face. Bioderma is a French pharmacy standby and it has been available in Canada for years now. You don’t have to lug it over from Europe and you should be able to find it in your local pharmacy – and if you’re visiting from out of the country, this is a brand that’s worth stocking up on.
Happy summer.
