May & June Favourites
Happy Thursday guys! Hope you all have had a wonderful week so far! It's been a hot minute since I've done a favourites round-up and I'm so excited to share some of these amazing and beautiful products with you! Let me know in the comments below if you already are fans of some of these, are going to try them, or have other products you think should be included in one of my future favorites round-ups!
Birdie by Olika Life Flatlay
When you first see this sleek little bird, hand sanitizer is not what comes to mind. Lovely enough to be on display, Birdie is the most elegant yet adorable hand sanitizer I’ve ever seen! But it makes complete sense, as OLIKA believes products should not only have a practical use, but should also bring you joy. You guys know I absolutely adore beautiful packaging, but I love this little hand sanitizer for more than just its looks. Birdie is very different from many other hand sanitizers, and is definitely one of a kind... the sanitizer smells incredible and has a relaxing effect, due to having the essential oils of bergamot, lemon and spearmint. It also leaves your hands hydrated after using it, thanks to ingredients like aloe vera. Birdie also has little tiny wipes stored in his bottom, so you can even use him to get rid of dirt and grime. I’ve kept this little guy in my purse ever since I received him, and adore how lovely & functional he is! You can pick him up here for less than $9, in Eggshell, Charcoal and Robin's Egg.
I absolutely love masks! I actually have quite a few more I need to share with you guys, but I'll start with this one, because it's refreshingly different from many of the other mud masks I've used. Most mud masks I've used tighten up leaving your face feeling like all of the moisture is being squeezed out of it. Sometimes it's satisfying to feel like all of the oil and bacteria is being squeezed out. But I often feel like my face is too dry after and then it ends up over-producing oil and being too oily a few hours later. This one doesn't leave you with an extremely dry face, but instead feels tingly and refreshing, and leaves your skin detoxified, smoothed, and radiant.
Gucci Card Case, Peonies, Givenchy blush, Live Irisistible, Mejuri, Gorjana
As someone who loves all things luxe and beautiful, it was only a matter of time (and money) before I started incorporating designer pieces, like Gucci, into my wardrobe and accessories arsenal. I can't get over how beautiful this little card case is! I'm in love with the Marmot styles, and am currently eyeing the belt and a few bags! For now though, this was a great first designer piece to invest in, and is even more beautiful in person than in photos!
Givenchy Live Irresistible Eau de Parfum
This perfume... I've had such luck with picking perfumes lately! It smells wonderful. Slightly sweet and fruity, playful, yet mature. It reminds me of a fun summer day on the town. It's been my go-to summer day scent, with the Kenzo World being my night scent!
Gucci Dupe Shoes by Steve Madden
Sensing a trend? ;) I'm clearly loving the ornate detailing of Gucci's current styles. These shoes were a early spring purchase that have more than gotten their worth in wear. They're so comfortable and look just like the iconic Gucci shoes that so many have been sporting this year! I do miss that they don't have the double G logo on them, but for a fraction of the price, I can't complain! They've dropped even more in price since I bought them and are now as low as $30, depending on what color you go with! They're such a great, versatile statement shoe, they're on my must-have list!
I'm not a big lipstick girl. While I am coming to like it more and more, day to day I still tend to like wearing very sheer and natural colors, if any at all. This lip lube is perfect as it's not heavy, gives a little bit of gloss, and is highly moisturizing! It's been one of my go-to lip products the past few months!
Ideal of Sweden, Merjuri, Peonies
You guys have seen me feature these phone cases a few times now and clearly I can't stop talking about them!! They've become such a favorite these past few months! I love how great the quality is and how they are sturdy and thick, while still looking so sleek and beautiful. My favourite part is definitely how functional they are due to their magnetic lining! I love that I can just place them in the wallet case or on my car mount and they stay put! With how busy I am, I definitely need no-fuss accessories and these are just that; so easy and so helpful!
They've kindly given me a coupon code to share with you guys! Use 'bylaurelle' for 20% off!
Who knew it was possible to love a tinted moisturizer SO much!? I love how this one goes on as a moisturizer and then morphes to match my skin tone! Plus it has SPF 40!? After my recent visit to 3000BC Spa and getting a needed reminder at how important wearing SPF is, I've been using this even more religiously. It also smells great and feels refreshing on your skin when you put it on!
