Happy Friday, Everybody! WoooooooooooHoooooooooo!

I’m of course happy because it’s Friday, but I’m also THRILLED that today is my monthly Amazon haul!!! Today’s stuff is SO GOOD, y’all. The items are DARLING, WELL MADE, and the prices are FANTASTIC. We all know that shopping Amazon can be hit or miss, but with me putting in the work for you, I’m hoping you’ll only have a cart full of HITS!

Today I’m going to highlight items from FASHION, from HOME, and from BEAUTY!

There is definitely something for everybody in today’s post.

AMAZON FASHION

This chiffon blouse is adorable. It comes in 8 color options, but I went with this red because I wanted it to be festive and an option for patriotic holidays. This is the “wine red”, although I think it’s a very true red (and not burgundy like I would typically thing of as “wine red”). It’s flowy with a peplum hem and has a double ruffle sleeve. It will be great with white denim too. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

It’s flowy and just adorable.

I actually highly recommend EVERYTHING in this outfit, and everything but the shorts are from Amazon.

Seriously, grab the bag and the sandals for sure. They are such great staples for summer. And you know I’ll be wearing these shorts all summer long. I mean, I did last summer…why not this summer too! 😉

* DRESSES…

This maxi dress is totally boho. It’s fun, flowy, and feminine. For size reference, I’m wearing a small.

maxi dress / hoop earrings / bracelet stack / cognac sandals

Look how many cute colors and patterns it comes in!

maxi dress

I’ve gotta say, this smocked dress might be one of my favorite Amazon finds ever. I’m wearing the “greygreen” and think this colorway is absolutely stunning. It has flutter sleeves, a smocked body, and a flowy skirt. The “tangerine” option is my other favorite color. For size reference, I’m wearing a small.

I’ve got a large chest and don’t always love how smocking highlights that, but I will definitely be wearing this styled with a great denim jacket.

I picked up this cross body bag last year and plan on it being in heavy rotation again.

smocked dress / denim jacket / hoop earrings / bracelet stack / TB sandals

And look how beautiful the tangerine option is!

This boho tunic dress comes in several color options, and I’m wearing the “multicolor” here. It’s a combination of cream, blue, and orange all brought together in a floral pattern. You can see the long tassels on it here, but you’ll notice in the next picture that I have them tucked inside the dress, which I prefer. The sleeves are 3/4 length and have a cute little split. For size reference, I’m wearing a small.

And with the cross body…

This boho maxi dress is stunning. It’s a beautiful red, has an elastic waist, and is quite flattering. The spit neck, the flutter sleeves, the ruffle at the waist, and the tiered skirt are all so pretty. I like it with these flat sandals, but it could also be dressed up with some tall strappy sandals or wedges. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

This dress  kinda leans mumu, and I’m kinda here for it.

This is the “navy blue”, but there are several color/pattern options available. It’s actually a little long for my liking, but that’s great news for you tall girls! It’s loose, it’s flowy, and it would be great for a beach vacation. For size reference, I’m wearing a small.

This shirt dress is a small, but I need it in a medium. I LOVE it, so I’ve already ordered the medium. It’s totally classic and looks very chic. It’s got functional buttons all the way up and down, a great collar, cuffed sleeves, and tiny little pleats all around the waistline.

Now listen, when reading the online description it says “vintage buttons aim to free your boobs and show your sexy.” I would like the record to show that I don’t want to free my boobs or show my sexy, but I still like the dress. 😉 I’m wearing the grey-blue, but it comes in 10 additional colors. I have the green too.

I first purchased this puff sleeve dress in a dalmation print, then I got it in basic black last year, and this year I decided to show the stripe.

It’s soooooooooooo incredibly soft. The material isn’t heavy, but it’s thicker than a regular tee, so it feels very well made. I love the fit (it’s very forgiving) and the puff sleeves are such a nice design element, without being too dramatic. It is such a great dress.

For size reference, I’m wearing a small. For a more relaxed fit, size up.

The reviews on this dress are great, so if you’re on the fence, go see what other people have to say about it! Some have posted pics of them in the dress as well.

And it’s super cute styled with a denim jacket and a turquoise necklace.

So are y’all ready to be WOWed?

Because I feel certain I’m about to WOW y’all.

Look at this chiffon maxi dress!!! I’m wearing the “pure pink”, and it’s absolutely GORGEOUS. I love that it’s off the shoulder, and that’s new for me, because I don’t typically like off the shoulder tops. It’s a little bit sexy by showing off the shoulders and the collarbone, but it covers up my upper arms. TOTAL SCORE! Throw it on with a pair of heels, and you are going to look taller and skinnier (than you already are). 😉 For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

And look how chic it is in black!

I’ve worn this dress to several different occasions, and I’ve had several friends borrow it as well.

* SHORTS AND TOPS…

These cutie shorts are from Amazon and come in 6 colors. They are Democracy, so they too have the Ab-Solution technology! On the site, they are shown with a small double cuff, but I prefer to just turn up the small hem the one time. They are a 5″ inseam. You’ll see on the model online that these shorts are cuffed twice, but I prefer this pair cuffed once, although the versatility is nice. They are so soft, so comfy, very stretchy, and did I mention comfy? For size reference, I’m wearing my regular size 4.

v neck tee / denim shorts / heart necklace / hoop earrings / bracelet stack / TB sandals

It’s hard to see the detail on this twist sleeve tee since it’s a dark color, but you need to go check out how cute the sleeves are (that you can see better in lighter colors). For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

twist sleeve tee / denim shorts / heart necklace / hoop earrings / bracelet stack / TB sandals

This Sunshine and Tacos tee is SO FREAKING CUTE!  I mean, truer words have never been spoken. I am a girl who LOVES sunshine and tacos!!! I fell in love with this green, but it comes in several other colors as well.  It comes in men’s, women’s, and kid’s fits, and I’m wearing the men’s in a medium.

Sunshine and Tacos tee / rattan earrings / bracelet / rattan bag / denim shorts / patent sandals (size up a 1/2)

This tee was one of my most popular Amazon finds last year.

I’ve shown you this ruffle sleeve tee before in olive, but this orange (totally leans coral) is such a pretty spring and summer color! It’s soft, and the ruffle sleeves are flouncy, but not too exaggerated. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

These Democracy 5″ denim shorts are fabulous. Stretchy, comfy, and a little bit longer than I’m used to (which I’ve been looking for!)…but still flattering and not overwhelmingly long. The H band slide sandals are awesome and true to size.

here comes the sun tee / Democracy 5″ denim shorts / beaded earrings / flip flop bracelets / striped straw bag / H band slide sandal

This In a World Where You Can Be Anything Be Kind tee just might be my favorite tee of the whole bunch. I seriously love every single color option in this one.

This tee is also crazy soft.

* JEANS AND TOPS..

I think this white camp shirt is a fantastic find. It reminds me of something you would find at Madewell or Banana Republic. It’s got a bit of structure to it, and it’s totally classic in its styling. I like the white one with regular denim, but one of the other colors would look great with white denim! I’ll be wearing the white one with denim shorts as well. This is a really great shirt. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

You’ve seen these jeans before in previous Amazon posts, and I continue to be obsessed. I’m wearing the “light blue vintage”. They’re a straight leg jean, but a skinny straight leg, so they are an easy way to ease into the straight leg trend if you haven’t tried it yet. I’m wearing my regular size 4. Size down if between sizes. Oh, and they have the AbSolution technology we are all obsessed with!

They really are the perfect spring and summer light wash jean.

Another great find! This blouse is good worn casually with denim, but it’s definitely nice enough for an office environment. Wouldn’t it look nice with a pair of black pants or a pencil skirt? I’m wearing the green leopard, but there are 19 color and pattern options in both long and short sleeve. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

blouse / similar chunky hoop earrings / multicolor bracelet / jeans / woven sandals

The quintessential white sweater, perfect for spring and summer! It’s incredibly soft, very well made, and just a classic piece. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

And just to give you options, I ordered a couple of the different color blocking options as well. This is the “orange”.

This is the “khaki”.

v neck sweater / lookalike tote / similar chunky hoop earrings / multicolor bracelet / white jeans / wedges

This pintuck blouse has lace detailing, tiny little buttons, and pintuck pleats. It’s SO pretty, and this blush color is lovely. For size reference, I’m wearing a small.

pintuck blouse / similar chunky hoop earrings / multicolor bracelet / jeans / woven sandals

And here’s the same blouse with white denim.

pintuck blouse / similar chunky hoop earrings / multicolor bracelet / white jeans / wedges

This blouse is light and airy, with a bit of stretch! There’s smocking across the top, the little cap sleeve has a flutter to it, and there’s lacy detailing on the body. This is the “pink”, but I think of it more as a smoky lilac. For size reference, I’m wearing a small, but I think I would prefer the fit of the medium.

blouse / similar chunky hoop earrings / multicolor bracelet / jeans / woven sandals

And with white denim…

blouse / similar chunky hoop earrings / multicolor bracelet / white jeans / wedges

Y’all know I’m a sucker for a flutter sleeve. And BONUS the colors and pattern are vibrant and beautiful! Orange, pink, and floral…. what’s not to love? Styling this blouse with white denim was a no brainer! For size reference, I’m wearing a small.

floral blouse / similar chunky hoop earrings / multicolor bracelet / white jeans / wedges

This puff sleeve tee is a super soft v-neck, and it has a super cute sleeve detail to give it extra feminine style. There are tons of colors to choose from, and I definitely want the basic white too. This is an awesome closet staple. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

pink puff sleeve tee / white boot cut jeans / multicolor straw bag / raffia hoop earrings / sandals

 

And here’s the ruffle sleeve tee from before, but in oatmeal! It’s a great neutral and a wonderful basic that has a little something extra because of the ruffle sleeves. Again, I’m wearing a medium.

* LOUNGE SETS AND PAJAMAS…

LADIES.

This lounge set is FABULOUS.

Wayyyyyyy more fabulous that I thought it was going to be.

And it’s not just for lounging!

I saw it on another influencer and thought it was adorable, but I wasn’t sure how it was going to look on me (because the other influencer is teeny tiny). WELL. I absolutely love it. I ordered a medium because that influencer was in a small, and I like the relaxed fit of the medium on me.

It’s gauzy and soft and a perfect outfit to lounge in or even run around town in. I love it so so much.

set / similar chunky hoop earrings / lookalike tote / woven sandals

And here it is in “apricot”.

set / hoop earrings / gold cuff / cognac sandals

A really great lounge set is hard to pass up, and this is a really great lounge set. I would describe this material as a heavy waffle knit. I wouldn’t personally wear it out, but it’s absolutely perfect for lounging around the house, being super comfy, and still looking cute! For size reference, I’m wearing a small.

This set is a super cute henley tee, the entire set is quite soft, and the shorts are flattering! I sleep hot, but I stay cool in these. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

pajama set

Just as soft as the set above, this set is a v-neck and the shorts are a bit longer. I like both sets, so it’s just a personal preference. I’m wearing a medium in this set as well.

* COVER UPS…

I’ve got several totally boujee cover-ups for you today! This one is a multicolor stripe with a deep v, and you’re going to need a drink with a little umbrella when wearing it. It’s a rule.

cover up

Okay, who wants to look like a movie star at the pool and the beach this summer? Buy this caftan cover up, throw on this pair of sunglasses, and people will be asking you for your autograph in no time. The colors, the graphic pattern, the drapey fit, the cinched in waist…I LOVE IT ALL.

caftan cover up / beaded dangle earrings / bracelets / H band slide sandal

Another boujee coverup! This is the “C-Dark Navy”, and it’s gorgeous.

And this is the “ginger flower”. I think it’s FABULOUS. It’s giving Ms. Roper vibes, and I’m here for it.

* SHOES, BAGS, AND ACCESSORIES…

These sandals are from last year, but I’m still wearing the heck out of them. Cute as can be and totally designer inspired. This “almond” is a lovely neutral. I sized up a 1/2.

sandals

I’m blown away by these braided slide sandals. They’ve got a memory foam insole and are very comfortable right out of the box, no breaking in time needed. They also come in cognac and a creamy white. True to size for me. They look like at least $70 sandals.

They also come in cognac and cream!

braided slide sandals

I’d been wanting to try a white sandal, but I hadn’t wanted to spend a lot of money on them. These were the perfect option for me! They’ve got a bit of cushion on them, and I walked all day in them with no problem. They come in several colors. For size reference, I sized up a 1/2.

They come in TONS of colors, metallic options, and even a blingy pair!

H band slide sandal

Also designer inspired, these woven slide sandals are a perfect neutral and come in 7 colors. These are from Cushionaire as well (like the black ones), and I’m totally digging this brand. True to size for me.

More bags…

AMAZON HOME

I also love this Thymes Mandarin Coriander countertop spray. It smells so fresh and lovely, and it actually makes me want to wipe down my kitchen counters. And I know this sounds stupid, but I like that the bottle is pretty too. It makes me feel fancy when I’m cleaning. #seriously 🙂

Click HERE for other mandarin coriander products in the line.

And one more counter spray option for you!

This Capri Blue Cleaner is NEXT LEVEL. It smells phenomenal, and you can use it to clean countertops, bathroom fixtures, sealed stone, granite, porcelain, finished wood, and tile floors.

Capri Blue Multipuprose Cleaner

I also ordered this e-cloth variety pack after hearing about them from my friend Cassie. They are washable, reusable, and FABULOUS.

Here’s what you need to know about them:

• Effective — Instantly equip yourself with all you need for a sparkling home with the E-Cloth Home Cleaning Set. Seven specialized microfiber cleaning and polishing cloths master every mess — all with just water. Additional dusting cloth traps particles ordinary dusters simply push around
• Easy — One purchase covers every surface you need to clean — from countertop to stovetop, and windows to tile — and keeps more money in your pocket
• Environmental — Cleans with the power of masses of precision-engineered microfibers, plus water’s molecular might. No need to add additional cleaners — or worry about residues that could harm people and pets
• Eco-savvy — With made-to-last quality backed by our 3-year or 300-wash guarantee, you may never put paper towels or additional cleaners in your shopping cart again
• E-Cloth + Water Is Enough — Dampen with water. Leave only water behind. So much simpler, swifter, and savvier, it’s hard not to share the news

Do you see the little tags on each cloth? They tell you what each cloth is supposed to be used for (ex. glass, stove tops windows, etc.). We got not kitchen pendants the other day, and Chris was cleaning them with Windex and a paper towel, but he was leaving tons of lint behind. I got out the e-cloth for glass, and it worked like a freaking charm. Shiny as can be and no more lint!

e-cloth variety pack

Click HERE for the entire E-CLOTH line. All the cloths remove grease and dirt – with just water. These 8 special cloths work on a variety of surfaces – worktops, appliances, kitchens, bathrooms, windows – and all the rest of the house, even your devices, making them your new partners in grime to remove grease and dirt from all hard surfaces in the home and to leave surfaces streak-free and shining. In between uses, rinse with warm water and hang dry, and machine wash weekly. Seriously, go check out the super comprehensive E-CLOTH page.

 

And if you are looking for decor items to spruce up your space, I’ve got you covered!

The ridged mango wood bowl (#2) is 63% OFF and the fleece throw (#4) that I own and love is under under $25. The mirror (#8) is under $100 right now and would look great in a small bathroom or over a bedside table. The pillow cover and the farmhouse beads are both under $15 right now. A couple of the rugs are between 50-70% OFF, and the jewelry box is a wonderful and super affordable option that is very similar to my expensive Kendra Scott jewelry box.

1) 4 light chandelier / 2) ridged mango wood bowl / 3) kitchen towels / 4) fleece throw / 5) mango wood footed tray / 6) charcuterie board / 7) white dish set / 8) mirror / 9) pillow cover / 10) farmhouse beads / 11) decorative bowl / 12) wooden tray / 13) rug / 14) rug / 15) jewelry box / 16) rug / 17) ceramic dipping bowl set / 18) 2 arm sconce / 19) sheet set

4) leopard throw blanket / There are 6,500 reviews posted of this blanket and 87% of them are 5-STAR. If you’re on the fence, read the reviews.

19) the famous sheets / These are THE FAMOUS AMAZON SHEETS. They are soft, they are crisp, they are cool, and they have over 300,000 5-star reviews!  Everybody loves these sheets, and they are now on every bed in our house.  I also bought two sets of twin sheets for when Carter and I went to camp a couple of years ago, and they are the sheets on the ranch house beds as well. And forget the price, THE QUALITY IS EXCELLENT.  If you have guests coming to your home soon, have the guest bed made up with these sheets. And then buy them for all of the other beds too. And then your guests will go home and buy them as well. #theyarereallythatgood

AMAZON BEAUTY

Y’all.

HOW IN THE WORLD DID WE GO THROUGH OUR DAILY LIVES BEFORE AMAZON WAS A THING?

How.

Like seriously.

HOW.

Self-admittedly, I rely on the site more than I should. But dang, it’s just SO EASY! So many things I order arrive the very next day. And let’s be real, it’s not unheard of for something to arrive on my doorstep THE SAME DAY. It’s crazy, but I love it. It really is a thrill when you see the item you ordered just that morning on your porch that afternoon.

Over the last several years, there are lots of favorite beauty products that I’ve started ordering from Amazon. Some I actually discovered on Amazon (like #3, #4, and #8), but other items I used to order from other retailers, and now I order them from Amazon because it’s easier. It’s always free shipping, and the items typically arrive super quickly.

These are items I love so much that I feel confident that I will order them over and over and over again and until the day I die. #thatkindagotdarkforaminute #butitstrue

My constant re-orders are what I’m highlighting in today’s BEAUTY collage…

1) NYX pore filler / 2) Maria Badescu drying lotion / 3) chin masks / 4) Lumi Glotion / 5) Biolage shampoo / 6) Lumify Eye Drops (bigger size HERE)/ 7) Laneige lip mask / 8) lip gloss (linger – berry mauve) / 9) elta MD sunscreen / 10) Kenra blow dry spray / 11) St. Tropez Self Tan Express

 

1) NYX pore filler / The NYX pore filler has been a game changer for me. I first found it when doing a sponsored beauty post with Macy’s like 5 years ago, and I immediately fell in love. I have large pores on my nose, and this products “fills” them and filters them for a much smoother look. So, I ordered the first time from Macy’s, but all subsequent times I’ve ordered on Amazon. If you struggle with pore size, order this product immediately! It’s like a filter for your face! I’ve seen others say it’s like spackle for your face, and you know what, they’re right. It’s always right around $15, but right now it’s just under $10!

 

2) Mario Badescu drying lotion / This Mario Badescu drying lotion is a product I was #influenced to try, and now I can’t live without it. The second I notice a blemish popping up, I dip a Q-tip in the bottle (don’t shake the bottle up – keep the pink liquid on the bottom), pick up some of the pink solution, and dab it on the blemish. Carter uses it too, and it works wonders! Seriously, if you or your teen struggle with a pimple popping up here or there, GRAB THIS. You’ll be so glad you have it when the time comes. It’s definitely a spot treatment and only a teeny tiny amount is required, but IT WORKS WONDERS.

 

3) chin masks / Several beauty influencers I follow have sworn by these masks for years, so I finally ordered them to try for myself after hearing about them so much from so many different people. They really do make a noticeable difference as they help to restore shape and definition to your jawline. The masks strap under your chin, cover your entire chin and the top portion of your neck, and hook over your ears. They are very cooling, and they seriously do tighten up your chin and neck skin with repeated use. #goodbyedoublechin #timetogetsnatched  When I do have time to do one of these masks in the morning, I also apply this Clarins de-puffing mask (I heard about it from the beauty blogger Kathleen Jennings) to my entire face. I love it when I can leave both on for like an hour and notice a measurable difference in tightness and firmness.

4) Lumi Glotion / This product was new to me last year, and I’m completely obsessed. Sometimes I use it like a tinted moisturizer and it’s all that I wear. Other times I just put in on top of a full face of makeup when I need to freshen up my look after a long day. Most often though I find myself mixing it with my foundation. It gives some nice color and a healthy and beautiful glow. I had my sister-in-law use it when we were at the ranch a couple of months ago, and she fell in love with it and ordered it immediately It has over 2o,000 5 Star Ratings and it’s UNDER $18, but right now it’s on sale. If ordered today, most of you can have it in your hands (and on your face!) by tomorrow. #gottaloveprime

5) Biolage shampoo / Y’all know I love all of the Colleen Rothschild hair products, except the shampoo. But I do love this Biolage shampoo. It’s a great value for the size, and it has over 15,000 5 Star Reviews. For those that have been around since I was Pinterest Told Me To, I used to use and love Redken All Soft, but I stopped being able to find it in the big bottles for a bit, so I switched to the Biolage. The Biolage is very hydrating, it smells great, and my hair is always so soft. The bottle is HUGE, so don’t let the $42 price tag deter you. This bottle will last you forever! In fact, I just checked my order history and the last time I ordered it was June of last year! (Obviously how often you wash your hair will impact how long the bottle will last. I typically wash mine every 2-3 days.) I still have probably another month or so before I have to re-order.

And if you need a conditioner recommendation, I absolutely swear by the Colleen Rothschild Quench and Shine Restorative Mask, but it was sold out for a while, so I had to find another option. I stumbled upon this Biolage HydraSource conditioning balm and it’s awesome. My hair is so soft, so shiny, and so manageable!!! I love this product. Go ahead and get the big size in the tub. You won’t regret it.

 

6) Lumify Eye Drops (bigger size HERE)/ I bought these eye drops for the very first time last year, and now I cannot imagine not having them. I use them on days when my eyes need a little help. (I don’t use them every day, just days when I have redness.) They take out the redness almost immediately and make my eyeballs SO WHITE, which makes such a difference in overall appearance. After using the drops, the whites of my eyes really pop! The reviews are absolutely outstanding. You should one thousand percent give them a try. They work better than any other eye drop I’ve ever used. Just look how white!

 

7) Laneige lip mask / This Laneige lip sleeping mask is a product that I absolutely swear by. I keep it on my nightstand and use it every single night. Like, I can’t go to sleep if I don’t have it on, and I travel with it too. I don’t really suffer from dry and flaky lips, but I do love going to bed at night with super moisturized lips and my goodness does this product deliver. For me, it just gives me extra silky and smooth lips. It has well over 22,000 5-star reviews, and I have several friends that swear by it as well. Carter does struggle with really dry lips, and he’s been using the Laneige lip mask every night and every morning. It helps his lips short term for sure, but I really want to try to get his lips in the kind of shape where he doesn’t have to always be applying a product. So I ordered this balm for him just yesterday. I’ve heard that the results are almost immediate and that they really help to repair the lips more long term, so I’ll keep you posted!

I walked around the house yesterday and picked up these little jars from different rooms. My favorite is the purple, then the pink, then the yellow.

 

8) lip gloss (linger – berry mauve) / I absolutely love this lip gloss. It’s soft on my lips and not sticky at all. And the “linger/berry mauve” color is so pretty. I realized when writing this post that I was out of it, so I ordered it again. I’ll show it on me on stories after it arrives.

 

9) elta MD sunscreen / I swear by both the elta MD tinted sunscreen and the EltaMD sunscreen (clear, without tint). When I first talked about it, I feel 90% of y’all were like “yes, it’s the absolute best there is.” I couldn’t believe the incredible feedback I received from y’all. It seems that y’all needed to be telling ME to.  #yalldroppedtheball

Well, instead of being mad at you (haha!), I’m just going to be happy that I am now using it myself. Click HERE if you want to get to the Facebook post to see what everybody else had to say about it.  It seems that not just my dermatologist recommends it, but everybody’s dermatologist does. Makeup goes on great over it, and it’s not oily or greasy.

Here are just some of the comments:

The best sunscreen by far! I’ve had multiple dermatologist tell me that’s what I have to use. I use the tinted one on my face everyday. Zinc oxide is very important to have in a sunscreen especially on the face. – Summer V.

I use it everyday and have for about 3 years now! Love it! Will never use anything else. Makeup goes on great over it! – Liz B.

I just starting using the Elta Glow and really like it too. Mix just a tiny bit of the Drunk Elephant drops you told me about and it works great! – Jill M.

Yes! I’ve used it for probably 10 years, my husband uses it too. I love the tinted and sport versions also! – Brooklyn D.

Best facial sunscreen, hands down! I’ve been using it for years and I absolutely love it. I actually use the tinted version, which is magic on my skin – almost has like a blurring effect and leaves me with a lovely dewy look. Amazing. – Laura L.

 

10) Kenra blow dry spray / Kenra blow dry spray was a product originally introduced to me by Amanda, my hair stylist. She sprayed it in my hair before starting to blow dry it, and I couldn’t get over how great it smelled. This was probably like 8 years ago now, and I’ve been using it ever since. It gives heat protection, it reduces drying time, it adds shine, AND DID I MENTION IT SMELLS AWESOME?

 

11) St. Tropez Self Tan Express / Okay, I’ve used lots of tanning products in my day and some of them have been terrible. Like really really bad. I’ve had and used this one from Amazon for years and still really like it, and these tanning drops are great for those that like adding a product to their everyday lotion routine, but my current favorite sunless tanner is this bronzing mousse. I love the texture of the mousse, and I really love that it goes on brown so I can see exactly where I’m applying it. Applying it with a mitt is essential, and you can grab a little set with a hand mitt and a back applicator mitt HERE. The color is a lovely bronzy brown, and it isn’t orange at all. Also, I love that if I miss a spot, I can tell almost immediately and can correct it!

 

A couple of more products I always re-order that I forgot about when making the collage:

CHI hairspray / I’m super picky about my hair spray. I of course want it to hold my hair, but I also want to still be able to run my fingers thru my hair. This hairspray does the trick!

Stridex pads / During football season, it looked for a hot minute like Carter was going to start developing acne on his chin. I immediately bought these Stridex pads, and he never had a break out! He uses them every night now to make sure he keeps any possible breakouts at bay.

Flower Beauty bronzer / I bought this bronzer in February of last year and immediately fell in love. And then I dropped it on the bathroom floor and broke it. It’s been sold out for a sweet forever (like over 6 months!), but I just saw that it’s back! Mine will be here by tomorrow!

Foot Peel / SUMMER IS COMING, Y’ALL! AND I AM PUMPED! I’m doing ALL THE THINGS TO PREPARE.

Step ONE: Get my heels in shape.

I did this foot peel several years ago and was equally ASTONISHED and HORRIFIED at the process. I was FLABBERGASTED with the results. Check out the reviews, but I beg of you, don’t be eating when you do. And prepare to squeal with both fear and delight. The pictures are graphic. Haha!

I have no idea what kind of magic and wizardry is involved with this mask, but it reveals baby soft skin. And it doesn’t hurt one bit! Just follow the directions and prepare to be in awe.

If you’re not sure, check out the over 60,000 5 STAR reviews!
