My April Picks!!


This is a new segment that I'm trying out and I hope you all will come to  enjoy! It is a way for me to spotlight things I have tried and loved each month without doing videos on each thing individually. I recently returned from vacation with lots of interesting goodies and a few of them made it in to my list. I will link each item to it's website so you can see it and other products in the line. Here we go!


One of the brands I discovered whilst on my mini vacation was called Lollia. It is a collection by Margot Elena that focuses on luxury bath and toilettres like sweet perfumes, beautiful candles, and even bath salt and shower gels. The packaging is devine and I couldn't resist trying their tiny Little Luxe Eau de Parfum in "Breathe" or their Petite Treat Handcreme in "Wish". Both scents are fantastic - "breathe" is a light gathering of peony, white lily, grapefruit, and orange while "wish" is a but richer with notes of vanilla, rice flavor, jasmine, and sugar. Any item from these collection would make a beautiful and very memorable gift!

Unbeknownst to me, the designer behind Lollia also created Tokyo Milk, a brand that I was introduced to about a year ago (I love their solid perfumes!) Once I realized this, I went in search of more from this line and came across Tokyo Milk Dark Conditioning Lip Balm in "Coco Noir". A very sensual line, I was immediately drawn to the notes of rum, cherry, and cacao and decided on the balm to nourish my lips which always seem dry by the time morning comes. Turns out, it works!


Now this next one might seem a but random but I was really excited to find these. In the same little boutique I found the Lollia items, I saw the cutest Wooster & Prince Emery Boards and was immediately skeptical. I find that with nail files, if they're cute, they don't work and if they're tough, they strip your nail too much, leaving you with rough edges. With these, however, I had a Goldilocks moment - they're just right AND too freaking cute!

 

My last pick for this month is kinda an oldie but a goodie. I have use Josie Maran's Argan Oil and I loved it but when I saw these new limited edition bottles from her Model Citizen collection, I couldn't resist. I felt like I was doing a mini good deed since 10% of the proceeds go to the model who designed the bottle's charity of choice. I chose Angela Lindvall's bottle because I loved her design and her proceeds go to Healthy Child Healthy World. I believe these are only at Sephora for a limited time so be sure to check them out!



Thanks so much for supporting this new segment - stay tuned for my May picks!
