September seems like it’s just flying by, doesn’t it? I went to check out a library book on Libby yesterday and was shocked when it said the return date was in October, then I realized it’s only a couple weeks away! Anyway, here are a few things I kept reaching for this past week.
PREQUEL Multi-Quench Serum | I just ordered a couple things from Prequel during their Labor Day sale, and they’ve already been big hits for me. The Multi-Quench Serum is a watery gel meant to deeply hydrate the skin. It contains polyglutamic acid, which is a moisturizing peptide proven to be an even better hydrator than hyaluronic acid. It also has glycerin to help retain that moisture and repair the skin barrier. My skin has been so happy since introducing this into my routine - I use it every morning after cleansing, and I’ve noticed my skin feels a lot smoother and doesn’t feel like it dries out throughout the day.
CeraVe Healing Ointment | I’ve used this on my kids since my toddler was an infant, and I finally got myself my own tube to use. I keep getting small eczema flareups on one eyelid, but this has been helping a lot. Now that it’s getting cooler and drier outside, I’ve been taking a pea-sized amount and applying it all over my face as the last step of my skincare routine to seal everything in. Using a small amount doesn’t feel too heavy or greasy, and I wake up with glowing, nourished skin.
REFY Lip Blur Liner in ‘Mauve’ | This is another new addition I just got over the last week, but I’m already hooked. As I’ve gotten older I’ve noticed my natural lip color has gotten paler, and my lip line has become less defined, so I usually use lip liner every time I’m wearing makeup. Sometimes a regular lip liner can just feel so harsh though, so I jumped at the chance to try this new launch from REFY. It has a velvety texture that glides on the lips and feels like nothing. It doesn’t have a precise point, so it does create that blurred lip line that I was looking for. It instantly makes my lips look fuller, so I’ve been using it under everything since I got it. Mauve is my perfect everyday pink shade - it’s pretty much the shade my lips used to be in my teens and 20s.
MERIT Bronze Balm in ‘Quince’ | I could have sworn I had already written about this recently, but I guess not! I bought this on a whim shortly after I gave birth to my younger son even though I wasn’t going to be wearing much makeup for a while, and I’m so glad I have it now. It’s basically foolproof - it’s so soft and blendable, and it’s on the sheer side, so it’s quick and easy to warm up the skin without going overboard. I can’t believe I didn’t jump on this right when it launched because this kind of thing is right up my alley.
Abercrombie 90s Relaxed Jeans | Now that the weather is cooling down and I’m coming out of my postpartum haze, I’ve been looking forward to wearing some of my regular clothes again. Right now these are my favorite jeans in my closet - I love the relaxed style, and I like that they’re still high-waisted. Most of my jeans are on the cropped side/come to my ankles, so I like having these ones that go all the way to my feet. I have them in a couple washes and just recently ordered the ‘Oat’ shade while it was on sale.
