M O I S T U R E

These five products are my go to's for moisture ! They are all great products for great prices. First Aid Beauty, Tarte, and Lush are all some of my favorite brands.
Sephora Super Nourishing Lip Balm
-----------
This lip balm is probably the best one I've tried ! The name doesn't lie; it is very moisturizing. I first thought of buying because it is unscented. (Unscented lip balms can help prevent breakouts.) It is in a lipstick shape, rather than flat. This makes application easier. It also works well with my lip scrub.

Tarte Maracuja Oil
----------
This oil is such a great product ! After getting the sample from Sephora, I used it a couple times. Those few times were enough to make me want my own bottle ! It is moisturizing, and a very light oil. Face oils are great to use even on oily or combination skin (like mine !)  Also, it helps brighten your skin. It has lightened some of my scarring and helps with my dark circles as well !

Neutrogena Multi-Vitamin Nourishing Moisturizer 
------------------------------
This is te perfect daily moisturizer ! It is light and doesn't clog your pores. I don't use it every day, but I'll sometimes put it on before my makeup to keep my skin hydrated all day.  It makes my skin feel very refreshed.

First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream------------------------
A holy grail product ! This is a thicker formula than the Neutrogena. I would use this at night. I first got it in the winter, when my skin was getting dry patches. It cleared them up in only a few nights ! This product would be great for dry skin. Also, it can be used anywhere, not just your face. It works great on my hands as well.

Lush Lip Scrub (Mint Julips)
------------------
This lip scrub is soooo amazing ! I use it anytime my lips are feeling dry. I love Lush lip scrubs, as they are edible. This one tastes great ! It isn't too loose, so when I use it it doesn't  fall !

Dresses are becoming such a summer staple for me ! Lately it's been too hot for shorts (if I'm going to be outside a lot.) This one from Forever 21 is perfect. It's light and not too short. It's loose enough to be comfortable to wear all day. The rust color is also becoming a favorite of mine !
I was going shopping so I put on my Converse so it'd be easy to walk around a lot.
And of course I brought my fave sunglasses !

So last Friday I got to go to see Hozier ! A big storm delayed the concert, but luckily I still got to see him ! Hozier is one of my favorite artists. I'll probably be uploading some of my videos to my youtube channel soon !
For concerts, I love wearing dresses. They are very low maintenance and comfortable. Also, the conert was outside and it was very hot that day. This adorable dress has a great open back that helped keep me cool !
Honestly these boots are some of my most comfortable shoes. I was in the pit, and even after standing for several hours my feet didn't hurt. I also wore them so I'd be a bit taller and could see better.
I brought a small bag to carry my phone, sunglasses and other essentials. I prefer small cross body bags for concerts instead of backpacks. They aren't as bulky, and I don't need much room.
For my hair, I did my go-to half up bun.

--------------------------------------------------------
First day of summer looks ! I wore this to a casual lunch/shopping day. The tee is a bit sheer, so it shows off this cute bralet ! The distressed shorts give a perfect edgy vibe. I think converse (or any kind of sneakers) and a nice hate are summer essentials.
I layered some of my fave necklaces for a bit of bling. I brought my Zara bag to carry everything i need for a day out !

STELLA & DOT : REVIEW

Stella & Dot is a jewelry/accessories brand I recently found. They make high quality pieces, that you can invest in. My order shipped quickly. It came in about a week and everything was in tact. The packing on the pieces was adorable ! 

My sister's piece, this necklace set, is absolutely beautiful ! It's two pieces, one is just the pendant and the other is a pendant and another chain. The quality is great and its a versatile piece. Together, they could be more dressy, Wearing one or the other could make it look more casual.

I love when messages like this are included in your orders ! It makes it seem so much more personal and it's always nice to read ! All the different prints on the packages show how unique all the jewelry and the brand is.
(The packaging for my necklace !)


I decided to go more personal and get an engraving necklace. They offer several styles of necklaces with different fonts and metals. I decided to go with sterling silver, as most of my daily jewelry is silver as well. It looked great and the engraving was very classic and chic. 
In all, I really liked ordering fro here ! The pieces are more expensive than I would usually go for, I think they'll last a long time. It's definitely a brand I would recommend !
