three new things

Last Mother’s Day weekend we were in NYC doing wedding shower things and four daughters gifted me with some beauty things from Bluemercury. One of the products was a divine lip balm from La Mer. I absolutely loved it as it gave just the slightest hint of soft pink color, moisturized and conditioned, and gave just a little minty tingle. I used every last bit of that balm, and have looked high and low to replace it, no luck.

While in Greenville SC last week I ducked into the local Main Street Bluemercury and picked up a new nail color, Smith & Cult Kundalini Hustle, and La Mer The Lip Volumizer.

I got kind of sucked into the gel phenom for a while and now doing my own thing with the mani/pedi. My go-to nail color is usually Wicked, by Essie, or a neutral white, nude, or pale pink. Red usually makes me anxious, just feeling the need for a pop lately, so red it is. I’ve got tons of travel on the calendar, and just don’t want to commit to gel. Love having the option/ability to refresh at will.

The new Lip Volumizer is nice, definitely has the La Mer price point at $75. Also has a feel-good low-key tingle. Product info says it’s infused with Miracle Broth TM, whatever Miracle Broth may be… Anyways, it is a nice product and makes a little luxurious gift for yourself or someone special.

The other lip product here is Beautycounter Color Intense Lipstick in Boardwalk. This lipstick is one of a two product duo, the other color being Sunset. Natural peppermint oil, one of its’ ingredients, provides a hint of mint here too. I actually recently joined the Beautycounter revolution after being completely overwhelmed one day while makeup shopping.

Makeup and nail color can enhance your every day look, we simply prefer when it’s easy.

Every day dress, three new things. Maybe one or two of these you just might like. 🙂
