Chanel Beauty Spring Summer 2023 Launch

March 2, 2023

The Spring Summer 2023 collection for Chanel Beauty has arrived and I’m so excited to share a look today! The collection has a red theme with new oversized palettes for eyes and cheeks. The items have just launched online at Chanel.com (you can find them if you search products individually, I’ve linked each item below for you) and also now at Nordstrom and Saks.

In today’s review we have a look at the:

Les 4 Rouges Yeux Et Joues Eyeshadow and Blush Palette ($90) in Tendresse (also available in another shade Caractere)
Le Vernis Longwear Nail Colors ($30) in Rouge Cuir and Watermelon
Baume Essentiel Multi-Use Glow Stick ($45) in Rouge Frais
Stylo Yeux Waterproof Eyeliner ($34) in Or Rose
Noir Allure Mascara ($42) in Rouge Grenat

Swatches of all the items I have in the collection below

Les 4 Rouges Yeux Et Joues Eyeshadow and Blush Palette

This spring Chanel has launched oversized palettes with powders formulated for both eyes and cheeks. There are two varations this season, I have the lighter Les 4 Rouges Yeux Et Joues Eyeshadow and Blush Palette in 957 Tendresse. This has four powders with sheer-medium pigment.

Shades include a light shimmery rose highlighter, a soft tan satin for bronzer/contour, a soft watermelon pink blush and a deeper reddish powder. Powders have a medium texture – not super soft but not stiff. Overall look is soft but colors can be layered.

I like this on the cheeks but also found I could wear on the eyes. The tan shade is just slightly deeper than my skin tone and warms up the skin. On me it’s a barely there kind of color but does add a nice touch of warmth.

I’m wearing the Chanel Les Beiges Water-Fresh Complexion Touch Foundation in B30 and B40 mixed. On the lips I am wearing the Les Beiges Healthy Glow Lip Balm in Light. For the eyes I also added a little bit of the Les 4 Ombres in Candeur Et Experience and Noir Allure Mascara in Black.

Le Vernis Longwear Nail Colors

There are two new shades of the Le Vernis Longwear Nail Colors in Rouge Cuir and Watermelon and they’re beautiful! Watermelon is a bright vibrant pink jelly shade. It has a transparent finish so I used 3 coats to get full coverage. Rouge Cuir is a pretty dusty warm rose with opaque coverage.

Baume Essentiel Multi-Use Glow Stick

This collection brings us a new Baume Essentiel Multi-Use Glow Stick in Rouge Frais. You girls know I’m usually not a fan of the dewy cheek sticks because I live in hot and humid Florida and they usually do not last. This shade however is the prettiest Baume Essentiel I’ve tried. It’s a bright red shimmer in the tube but has a transparent sheer pink finish on the cheeks. I also tried it on the lips and it’s a really pretty shimmery red when used as a lip balm.

Stylo Yeux Waterproof Eyeliner

The spring launch features the Stylo Yeux Waterproof Eyeliner in Or Rose. I feel like this may have been a color from an older launch many years ago but am not 100% sure the shade is the same. I think this year’s has a different number and is more of a true rose gold. It’s stunning. As a liner it’s subtle on me but I also tried it as an all over eyeshadow and think it’s just beautiful.

Noir Allure Mascara

Last is a look at the Noir Allure Mascara in Rouge Grenat. I love this mascara formula but red tinted mascaras aren’t really my thing. This formula coats the lashes and is great at lengthening. The red is very pigmented and does coat all the lashes with a reddish shimmer color. I still prefer the classic black shade but if you like tinted mascaras I think this is a fun twist.

Overall thoughts: I love the Les 4 Rouges Palette in Tendresse. I think it’s pretty, wearable and different from what I already own. I think the pink highlighter is really pretty! The Le Vernis in Watermelon is a must for me, I think it will be really fun for spring/summer.

Available now at Chanel, Nordstrom and Saks.

What do you think about this launch? Will you be trying any of the palettes or other new launches?

Hermes Beauty

Hermes Rouge Hermes Shiny Lipsticks, Plein Air Complexion Balm and Radiant Powder

February 27, 2023

Sharing a look at some luxury beauty pieces from Hermes Beauty today! Hermes just launched three limited-edition Rouge Hermes Shiny Lipsticks ($78 each) and I think they’re absolutely stunning. I also have a look at two complexion products that I’ve tested including the Hermes Plein Air Natural Enhancing Complexion Balm ($90), Radiant Glow Powder ($95) and Powder Brush ($126).

The Hermes Plein Air Natural Enhancing Complexion Balm is a natural looking tint with SPF 30 and a dewy finish. I bought the shade 50 Palomino sight unseen and was thankful it ended up being a perfect match. This has a CC cream/BB cream kind of feel to it. It’s semi thick but blends easily and a little goes a long way. Finish is natural and slightly dewy. It’s lightly fragranced with sandalwood and green tea but smells mainly like a sunscreen to me. It is a mineral only sunscreen which is usually hit or miss for me.

Pros are that it looks natural and fresh. I like the coverage. Lasting power is pretty good. I do set with a powder to help make it last though. Cons include the steep price and for my skin type and climate I live in it’s a bit too dewy for my taste. The fragrance does not irritate my skin but I know a lot of you are sensitive to fragranced base products so your mileage may vary.

Before/After

After testing it for several months now I can’t say that I recommend it mainly because of the price. It’s a solid product but I think there are better options on the market that are more affordable with a higher SPF. For something similar in texture and coverage I’d recommend trying the Chanel CC Cream ($55, been loving this for years, swatches here), It Cosmetics CC+ Nude Glow Foundation ($44), Supergoop! CC Screen ($44) or the Armani Neo Nude Tinted Moisturizer ($48).

The Plein Air Radiant Glow Powder is a beautiful highlighter. Also very expensive and easily dupeable. In the compact it appears more peach/rose tone but on my skin the champagne and gold tones pull more prominent. I’m wearing this over the Rose Hermes Blush in Rose Blush (also reviewed here).

This has a beautiful texture and it’s easy to layer. I love the way it looks but cannot say it’s a must-have. Even though the swatch comparisons show that Hermes Mirage is different in undertone (more golden), on the face the differences are really subtle for a champagne highlighter. If this was more true to pan and looked more pink/peach on my skin then I think it would 100% have been more unique and flattering on my skin. It’s a stunning one – just not unique enough to justify the price in my opinion.

Swatched next to: Charlotte Tilbury Beauty Light Wand in Spotlight, Charlotte Tilbury Glow Glide in Champagne Glow, Dior Forever Luminizer in Nude Glow, Bobbi Brown Highlighting Powder in Peach Glow and Tom Ford Highlighting Duo in Moodlight.

I splurged on the Powder Brush not realizing it was priced at $126. It’s definitely not worth the price. I do use it a lot but the Chanel Brush 106 ($60) is half the price and much better in terms of softness. The NARS Bronzer Brush ($38) is also excellent.

Last we have a look at the three new Shiny Lipsticks in Corail Parasol, Beige Croisette and Brun Yachting. I absolutely love these even though they are also incredibly overpriced and sheer. I think the colors are fresh and wearable. They give that natural polished look that is noticeable but not overdone.

06 Brilliant Corail Parasol is a sheer light grapefruit with sparkles. It looks like a candy glaze on the lips with the glossy finish.

_______

10 Brilliant Beige Croisette is a sheer creamy brown beige. It pulls slightly warmer on my lips than what I see in the tube.

_______

22 Brilliant Brun Yachting is a sheer medium-tone brown which I thought would be unflattering. It’s a nice soft brick brown reddish color with almost 90s vibes.

_______

I added a swatch of two orangey lipsticks from Hermes including the Poppy Lip Shine and 35 Brilliant Orange Capucine (limited-edition, reviewed here).

Overall love the new shiny lipsticks but I think I could have definitely passed on the complexion balm, brush and highlighting powder. I hope you found this review helpful if you’ve been looking at any of the new Hermes beauty launches!

Hauls Sephora

Spring Beauty Sephora Haul

February 24, 2023

In partnership with Sephora

I have a new Sephora haul roundup review for you today! There are lots of new beauty launches at Sephora I’ve put to the test this month and I’ve found some new loves! Here are 12 things I hauled this month to try and my thoughts.

Make Up For Ever launched the new HD Skin Matte Velvet Undetectable Longwear Blurring Powder Foundation and it has an overwhelming number of rave reviews so I had to investigate it to see if it lived up to the hype. I picked up 2Y20 Warm Nude and it’s a perfect match! It blurs the skin to perfection with a sponge giving full smooth coverage. I also like to use a brush to apply it as a setting powder for sheerer coverage. Lasting power is very good and I love that it does not oxidize on my skin.

I also picked up the Make Up For Ever HD Undetectable Longwear Foundation in the same corresponding shade 2Y20. This isn’t a new formula but new to me and I give this one is a huge thumbs up too. It’s lightweight, blurs, naturally radiant, with nice natural coverage. The texture is fluid and easy to blend and work into the skin without looking or feeling heavy.

Another complexion product I picked up is the Caliray Freedreaming Clean Blurring Skin Tint in Shade 6. I’ve been looking for a natural skin tint that still has some coverage and that isn’t too dewy. It’s a skin-but-better sheer tint but still has enough coverage to even out the skin in a very natural way. It does have a dewy finish so I set with powder but I really like the way it looks and feels on the skin.

I’ve loved the Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray for as long as I can remember and did not realize they had more than one formula until recently. I’ve been really impressed with the Urban Decay All Nighter Long-Lasting Makeup Setting Spray with Vitamin C. You can use this to prep and hydrate the skin before makeup. It has an ultra fine mist dispenser to evenly spritz the face. Love this for a light veil of hydration. It also works to set the makeup too.

The new Tower 28 Sculptino Soft Matte Cream Contour + Bronzers just launched and I literally ran to my local store to pick one up. I opted for the shade in Getty which is a natural medium tan. I like that it’s a neutral-warm color which helps warm up the complexion in a flattering way. It has a creamy finish described as a soft matte and on the skin it does feel like a demi-matte but still has a dewy look to it. I’ve photographed and swatched it next to the Bronzino in West Coast for reference.

Left: West Coast, Right: Getty

As a fan of the Danessa Myricks Yummy Skin Balm Powder I was really excited to see that she launched the Yummy Skin Blush. These are ultra pigmented balm blushes that will show up on a wide range of skin tones. I love that these are still easy to blend/sheer out easily. I picked Jubilee and Rose N Brunch to try first and really like both. I applied both shades on the lips and cheeks. They have a blurred soft matte finish with excellent lasting power on me.

Another popular item that caught my eye is the Fenty Skin Lip Plush Puddin’ Intensive Recovery Lip Mask. This has a unique twisting base to push and dispense the balm. It’s thick, hydrating and plush – I like to use this as an overnight lip mask. Softens the lips and I really love it.

For lip colors I picked up some new Hourglass and Anastasia Beverly Hills. A number of you asked for a review of the new Hourglass Unlocked Satin Crème Lipsticks. I picked up four to try in Tide, Alpine, Oasis and Dahlia. I am completely blown away by this formula. It just might be THE best satin lipstick formula I have ever tried. These have flawless smooth coverage and apply beautifully on the lips. They have a very soft vanilla scent. Out of the four I picked I like Oasis the best but they’re really all wearable. I will 100% need to pick up more colors.

Anastasia Beverly Hills launched new lip shades to her current lineup. I picked up one of her Lip Pencils in Muted Mauve which is a taupe mauve shade and two Lip Glosses in Sunbaked which is a mauve pink and Soft Pink which is a creamy baby pink. The glosses work well when layered on top of a pencil or lipstick for a full glossy lip look. I think the new neutral shades are really stunning.

Last is a quick look at two new hair launches. Oribe added a new product to the Hair Alchemy lineup with their new Hair Alchemy Strengthening Masque and it does not disappoint. Strengthens hair and leaves it soft and hydrated. As a huge Olaplex fan I could not wait to try the No.4D Clean Volume Detox Dry Shampoo and it’s a win for me. I really love that the product does not leave any white powder residue on the hair. Feels lightweight, adds volume, absorbs excess oil.

That wraps up my February Sephora haul! If you haven’t checked out their Beauty Insider Program yet make sure you check it out here. You can sign up for free and it opens up access to some fun benefits, early access to events and more.

For all customers they also have the Buy Online, Pick Up In Store option which I love. It allows you to make sure the items you’re shopping for are in store and reserved when you purchase online. Super convenient for me so I don’t have to make an extra trip. Select locations also have Same-Day Delivery which you can check by inputting your zip code on each product page. More info here.

Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Collection Newness for Spring

February 21, 2023

In Partnership with Charlotte Tilbury

Charlotte Tilbury added new items to her Pillow Talk lineup for spring and as a huge fan of the Pillow Talk collection I’m thrilled to share a look at her new launches today! The Pillow Talk Collection features nude-pink shades that are universally flattering for everyone. The Matte Revolution Lipstick and Lip Cheat in Pillow Talk are hands down my favorite everyday neutral rose pink tones to wear and I’m always excited to see new extensions in this color theme.

Pillow Talk Lips

For those new to Charlotte Tilbury here’s a look at three of my favorite Pillow Talk lip products. The Matte Revolution Lipstick is a classic everyday rose with smooth velvety coverage. Her Lip Cheat Lip Liner is my perfect lips-but-better shade that goes with everything. For the lip gloss lover the Lip Lustre in Pillow Talk is the perfect glossy rose pink neutral with opaque coverage and a natural shine.

Lip Lustre in Pillow Talk

Pillow Talk and Pillow Talk Medium shades swatched side by side for reference below.

Hypnotizing Pop Shot + Pillow Talk Eye Colors

For the eyes Charlotte Tilbury just launched two new shades of her Hypnotizing Pop Shots and I have the rose pink shade in Pillow Talk Diamonds. These are stunning sparkle toppers in a pressed powder format. The texture is impeccable. These shadows are loaded with multi-dimensional sparkle and tiny glitters yet they adhere remarkably well to the lids and stay put. I like to pat these on with my fingers. The Ultra Violet shade is already sold out, but the exclusive to CharlotteTilbury.com Pillow Talk Diamond shade is still available.

I’ve swatched it next to her Pillow Talk Eyeshadow Palette and Pillow Talk Luxury Palette of Pops, both of which have glitter sparkle toppers. The new Hypnotizing Pop Shot in Pillow Talk Diamonds has more of a rosy plum pink undertone with more intense sparkle than what I see in her other palettes. Also swatched her Eyes to Mesmerize Cream Shadow in Pillow Talk for comparison which is a lovely plum rose on me.

Pillow Talk Blush + Highlighters

For the cheeks her newest launch is the Matte Beauty Blush Wands. I hauled a few and shared a tutorial demo on Instagram a few weeks ago and love them. Pillow Talk is exclusive to her website. It’s a wearable soft matte rose that is easy to blend and layer with a nice natural matte dry down. For a cream/liquid blush these have really good staying power.

Cheek to Chic in Pillow Talk

Beauty Light Wand in Pillow Talk

For those who want to know how her Pillow Talk cheek products compare I’ve added a look with her Cheek to Chic Blush in Pillow Talk (has a natural luminous sheen) and also her Beauty Light Wands.

Bottom line is I love the new Pillow Talk launches. I highly recommend checking out the new Pillow Talk Matte Beauty Blush Wand and the Hypnotizing Pop Shots.

You can find these out now at Charlotte Tilbury. There are great bundles and kits available at a discounted rate when you shop directly through her website.

For day to evening, there’s a beauty look for every occasion that can be created with the Pillow Talk Collection.

Chantecaille

Chantecaille Wild Meadows Collection for Spring 2023

February 18, 2023

Chantecaille recently launched their new limited-edition Wild Meadows Collection for spring. This year they celebrate their 25th Anniversary! The collection has a floral-inspired theme with fresh pinks, pastel tones and some pretty coral shades. The pieces are limited-edition and available now at Chantecaille and Neiman Marcus.

In this collection:

Wild Meadows Eye Quad ($78)
Wild Meadows Blush ($75 each) in Apple Blossom and Anemone
Lip Chic ($52 each) in Meadow, Crocus and Carpathia

Every item is just stunning from the beautiful packaging to the high-quality textures and beautiful pigments. Colors are fresh and bright. I think this is a collection well worth checking out!

Wild Meadows Eye Quad

The Wild Meadows Eye Quad has four shades including a shimmering pale gold, a baby pink shimmer, metallic warm taupe sparkle and the most beautiful soft matte brown. The only downside to this one is that the pans are extremely small, especially for the price, but the texture and pigment is exceptionally stunning.

Wild Meadows Blush

There are two shades of Wild Meadows Blush in this collection. They have a very smooth texture and apply flawlessly. Apple Blossom is a warm pink and Anemone is a raspberry with a tiny bit of shimmer. Both are beautiful on the complexion and are easy to build. They give the complexion life without looking overdone.

Lip Chic

The Lip Chics are the most beautiful pieces in the collection (in my opinion). If you’re a fan of Chantecaille lipsticks you know the Lip Chic has a really pretty creamy texture, hydrating feel, comfortable finish and buildable pigment. You girls know I gravitate towards neutrals so of course I love Meadow a soft peachy nude. The other two are bright but still wearable. Carpathia is a bright apricot. Crocus is a vibrant raspberry pink – not really a shade I would wear but still pretty.

Looks below wearing:

Foundation – Chantecaille Future Skin Cushion Foundation in Nude
Concealer – Charlotte Tilbury Beautiful Skin Concealer in Shade 7.5
Powder – Compact Powder Makeup in Camel
Blush – Wild Meadows Blush in Apple Blossom
Eyes – Wild Meadows Eyeshadow Quad
Eyeliner – Lustre Glide Eyeliner in Jasper
Mascara – Loreal Telescopic Mascara Carbon Black
Tank – Citizens of Humanity Isabel Tank

Crocus Lipstick

Overall a beautiful collection with fresh wearable colors for spring. I love that Chantecaille launches new colors that remain true to brand and very different from what other lines launch. The pieces are on the expensive side but the quality of each piece is exceptional. If it’s in your budget to splurge I think you will absolutely love the spring collection.

Available now at Chantecaille and Neiman Marcus. Have you checked out anything from the collection? What are your favorites from Chantecaille?

Pat McGrath Labs

Pat McGrath Love Collection

February 14, 2023

Pat McGrath launched new palettes in her Love Collection for spring and I’m thrilled to share a look + swatches of all three. The full collection is available online at Pat McGrath along with discounted bundles. Today two of the palettes launched at Sephora.

In the Love Collection she has:

MTHRSHP Eyeshadow Palette in Iconic Infatuation ($65)
MTHRSHP Eyeshadow Palette in Sublime Seduction ($65)
MTHRSHP Eyeshadow Palette in Velvet Liasion ($65)
LiquiLUST Liquid Lipstick Duo in Nude Cabaret + Nude Venus ($56)
FetishEYES Longwear Liquid Eyeshadows ($29 each, 7 shades total)
Skin Fetish Blush in Desert Orchid ($39, repromoted)
Skin Fetish Blush in Fleurtatious ($39, repromoted)

I have the 3 palettes, 1 liquid eyeshadow, 1 liquid lip and both blushes featured today.

MTHRSHP Eyeshadow Palette in Iconic Infatuation

The MTHRSHP Eyeshadow Palette in Iconic Infatuation has a mix of soft rose and plum tones. At first glance this color scheme was my favorite but I actually ended up liking the matte palette the most. Colors include:

Candlelight Affair – pale ivory champagne shimmer
Bare Venus – matte dusty rose
Platinum Divinity – complex glitzy metallic taupe silvery plum
Eternal Love – deep matte plum brown
Fleurever Adored – shimmering warm rose plum
Endearment – dusty matte plum

This palette has a lot of powdery kick up when applying but the colors adhered well to the lids. For some reason the matte shades were a bit stiff and swatched patchy on my arm (even with primer) but they applied beautifully on the eyes. On the lids they layer nicely and are easy to blend.

Look below wearing:

Foundation Westman Atelier Vital Skin Foundation VI
Powder Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish in Medium
Blush Pat McGrath Skin Fetish Blush in Fleurtatious
Highlighter Pat McGrath Skin Fetish Highlighter (discontinued)
Mascara Loreal Telescopic Carbon Black
Lips LiquiLUST in Nude Cabaret

MTHRSHP Eyeshadow Palette in Sublime Seduction

MTHRSHP Eyeshadow Palette in Sublime Seduction has all of my favorite coppery bronze tones. I think the color scheme is stunning but find it similar to her previous palettes. I love the shimmer and think I’ll be wearing this during the summer.

Colors include:

Champagne Desire – shimmery champagne
Peach Persuasion – matte warm orange
Bronze Fantasy – stunning shimmery bronze
Sable Seduction – deep matte bronze
Honey Lustre – shimmering gold
Burning Desire – matte warm brick brown

Look wearing same base products as above. Cheeks are Pat McGrath Skin Fetish Blush in Desert Orchid. Lips are a mix of By Terry Hyaluronic Hydra-Balm in Tea Time (also reviewed here) and Pat McGrath LUST Gloss in Peach Perversion.

MTHRSHP Eyeshadow Palette in Velvet Liaison

MTHRSHP Eyeshadow Palette in Velvet Liaison is my favorite of the three. It has perfect matte tones for a really beautiful soft matte eye look. Colors also swatched stiff/patchy on my arm but they blend well on the eyes. Since they are mattes though make sure your eye is well primed or moisturized. Even though this is my favorite I do think this is the most easy to dupe.

Colors include:

Beige Bliss – warm neutral beige
Enamored – matte brown
Plum Provocateur – dusty matte plum
Midnight Mink – deep brown
Barely Veiled – dusty mauve
Voluptuous Rose – matte rose

Quick note that these ended up swatching cooler/more intense on my arm compared to what I see in the palette.

Look wearing Pat McGrath Skin Fetish Blush in Fleurtatious, Lip Fetish Divinyl Lip Shine in Divine Rose 2 and Fenty Gloss Bomb in Riri.

LiquiLUST, FetishEYES, Skin Fetish Blush

Here’s a quick look at a few other items in the collection. The Skin Fetish Blush in Fleurtatious is a repromote. It’s a really pretty soft muted beige pink that is understated and easy to wear.

I ordered one of the FetishEyes in Luna Rose and was pleasantly surprised to find it really wearable. It swatches very metallic and foiled but you can blend it out on the lids. There were a few shades I would have loved to order but they sold out so fast!

Last is a quick look at her LiquiLUST in Nude Cabaret which I have from a previous launch. I think this formula is nice and long-wearing. I’m really not a fan of matte liquid lipsticks as they tend to look dry on my lips, but the color is nice. I reviewed her other shades in this post here.

That wraps up my review of the Pat McGrath Love Collection. I think the colors are beautiful. I do think some of the mattes have a stiffer/harder texture than her other palettes which is probably why they swatched patchy on my arm. On the eyes I had no issue though.

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and if you’re looking for gift inspo here are 20+ fun ideas whether you want to treat yourself or send someone a hint!

BEAUTY TREATS

I think getting a new lipstick, balm or gloss is always fun no matter what time of year! I love the Dior Addict Lip Maximizers (use code VDAY23 at checkout for a gift with purchase on $125+ at Dior.com) and Lawless Forget the Fillers for smoothing plumping glosses that don’t sting or tingle.

Hermes just launched new Shiny Lipsticks in three shades available at Saks (use code NEXTFEBSF for 10% off) and also at Hermes.com. I still think the Hermes Lip Oils are stunning (review + swatches here) and would make for the best treat yourself gift.

The Too Faced Hangover Rx Pillow Balms are always a fun gift idea. There’s a clear version and four sheer tinted shades. This duo is bundled at a value price here ($30 for the set).

A fresh manicure always makes me feel more put together. I love the Olive and June Quick Dry polishes (at Target and Olive and June). Picante is super fun for spring to summer.

Charlotte Tilbury launched her new Matte Blush Wands in four dreamy shades. If you shop through her site she has bundles and sets available with a price break like this Cheek Duo.

FRAGRANCE LOVER

For the fragrance lover a scented shimmering body oil makes for a nice gift. I bought the Maison Francis Kurkdjian Shimmering Body Oil over the holiday and highly recommend it. Chanel has one in the Coco Mademoiselle Pearly Body Gel and it’s on my wishlist.

TREAT YOURSELF

For the ultimate splurge you can never go wrong with a nice piece of jewelry. I’ve been looking for a diamond bracelet for a while and am still debating what to splurge on but this Mejuri bracelet has been on my radar. I love the Pave Diamond Huggie Earrings and wear them all the time.

This Gucci Makeup Bag in the pink shade looks super cute. I also love the peach color in some of the YSL pieces like the Wallet On Chain (also available in small leather goods).

For the girl who has everything you can always find something new and stunning at Venus Et Fleur. There are so many beautiful combinations and arrangement options for roses, hydrangeas, gardenias and more. I love this Round Floral Box.

I bought myself some Sugarfina treats for Valentine’s Day. Andrew likes them too and I bought a few things for my mother-in-law.

If you’re looking for some ideas I hope you found this gift guide helpful!
