The past week has been pretty hectic, but I still have a few favorites to share! It’s been a blur, but the biggest standout of the week is that my baby seems to have really discovered his voice lately, so it’s been extra loud and squawk-y at my house.
Ergobaby Embrace Carrier | This has probably been my number one essential for life with a toddler and a baby. Luckily the baby loves this thing if he’s sleepy enough - I’ve been timing outings with my toddler around naptimes for my baby so he can just sleep in the carrier while we’re out. I’ve usually been giving him his last catnap of the day in this too so I can be sure he gets around half an hour of sleep and be hands-free to play with my toddler or make dinner. It’s easy to get baby in and out of, and it’s very comfortable to wear.
Bobbi Brown Extra Plump Lip Serum in ‘Bare Raspberry’| I got this earlier this summer and then I forgot about it in a purse I don’t use often, but I’ve recently come back around to it. It’s such a beautiful formula - it feels like a true, cushion-y lip serum. It doesn’t feel too sticky but still lasts a long time on the lips. I don’t notice any real plumping, but it does make my lips feel very hydrated and nourished. The color is quite sheer, but ‘Bare Raspberry’ adds a really subtle flush of color that’s perfect for everyday.
Brook & York Mackenzie Birthstone Necklace | My husband got me this necklace for Mother’s Day this year, and I’ve worn it every day since! It has both of my boys’ birthstones in it, so of course I really love it. I don’t have any other necklaces on chains like this - I like how it’s a bit dainty, yet the shape of the chain links makes it a little more bold.
bareMinerals Complexion Rescue Liquid Blonzer in ‘Kiss of Mauve’ | I loved the bareMinerals Blonzer Powders when they came out, so I had to try the new liquid version when I saw it on the Ulta website. The formula is a bit gel-like, which is really nice (like the Complexion Rescue, also a favorite). It blends in so naturally and easily, so you really do look like you just came in from being out in the sun. I love using this on rushed mornings because it gives the look of blush and bronzer in one, and it’s quick and easy to apply.
Violette_FR Boum-Boum Milk | This is an older favorite I don’t think I’ve ever gotten the chance to talk about, but I LOVE this face spray. Lately my skin has been feeling a bit dried out from going back and forth between the extreme humidity outside and blasting air conditioning inside, so this has been helping a lot. It almost feels like a watery moisturizer. I usually use it as the toning step of my skincare routine, and the rest of my other products lay beautifully on top of it. Recently I started spraying it over my makeup and it’s lovely that way too - it just helps to meld everything together and makes it look more skin-like. I’d definitely like to try more from this brand!
