Wearing:
I used to be a whore for NARS makeup, largely thanks to their matte black, minimalist packaging and the dirty dubbing of their blushes (“Super Orgasm?” Genius). Now I only use Senna Cosmetics. Whatever Senna lacks in cheeky-chic marketing, the boutique line makes up with high quality pigment.
I always have a backup compact of Senna’s Mineral Mix powder foundation — its buildable coverage has a slight shimmer, so that your face looks dewy instead of Kabuki. Senna sent me their new Senna HDExtreme Firming Radiant Makeup, which is the liquid version of Mineral Mix: the slightest champagne shimmer makes the foundation blur your imperfections into the smoothest beauty…

Hating
I love the concept of Arosha Luigi Taglia’s “Golden Highway” ring: an abstract, sterling silver skyline dotted with small diamonds winking like skyscraper windows, while an 18K gold highway winds through the city.
I love the idea. The execution? Not so much. I wish it were tinier.
Somehow that reminds me of how I feel about Beyoncé…

Booty Parlor Bath Kitten is a kit of lush bath milk and a “purring” bath mitt.
As if I didn’t have a hard enough time getting out of the bath already.
You know, while consuming all-engrossing Ayn Rand ebooks. Booty Parlor’s Bath Kitten‘s copywriting looks equally tempting…

Nomade Exquis is a collection of fingerprint-unique, vintage jewelry curated by Mo Clancy. Nomade Exquis’s beginnings are as organic as the jewelry vibes: a former trendcaster, Mo started collecting the antique jewelry out of a passion for modernist, brutalist, and biomorphic pieces from the 1950-1970s .
Mo charmed me at lunch months ago. She shared that one of the artists behind Nomade Exquis’s collection used such harsh methods to create his brutalist jewelry that only deaf people could be employed at his factory…

I spritz some L’Artisan Parfumeur into the air and walk into it right after showering, at the start of every day (mhmm, sometimes as early as 10 a.m.). Most flowery fragrance is a light, girly giggle; L’Artisan Parfumeur is a low, powerful purr. I wonder if L’Artisan Parfumeur’s frangrance sphere make your space vibe the same… |

Chesapeake Bay Candle sent me their latest fragrance sphere, a minimalist ceramic globe that flavors your air with cedar, sandalwood, and fig. I tucked it into the the corner of my powder room — the scent is subtle, and the fragrance sphere is less obvious than a spindly reed diffuser… |

Even if this fragrance sphere made my bathroom smell like Giselle’s panties I’d pass… |
