I’mma be so honest with y’all—this is a real “here’s what I’ve been lovin’” catch-up, from hair to skin to makeup to fragrances (and a little book-ish honorable mention). I don’t use the L word casually, so everything I’m calling a favorite has earned its spot. I start with hair because obviously, and I’m obsessed with Adwoa Beauty’s new Scalp Exfoliating Shampoo—creamy, luxurious, gets me clean without that squeaky feeling, and the packaging? Everything. I also shout out the Adwoa Hydration Mask (not love at first sight, but we’re definitely dating), plus Miche Beauty’s Anti-Humidity Gels (different “flavors,” same results—still that girl) and their Hydrating Leave-In + Curl Refresher Spray that’s been clutch for stretching my wash and gos. Then I get into a few beauty picks that surprised me, because y’all know I’m not the most consistent skincare girl. Tatcha’s Longevity Serum has been helping my skin feel more rejuvenated (my smile lines are softening), and Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye Serum has been giving me that wake-up moisture under my eyes. Makeup-wise, Danessa Myricks’ Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder Mattifying Setting Spray had my face not moving without that heavy “I can feel it” finish, and I’ve been loving the LYS Soft Focus Finishing Powder for an all-over set with a little glow. And yes—we end with travel-size fragrance heat: Brown Girl Jane (Chalet + High Tea) and Jimmy Choo I Want Choo With Love.
