Westman Atelier Holiday Sets 2023

Westman Atelier Holiday Sets 2023

I did a mini haul and picked up two items from the Westman Atelier Holiday launch. This year Westman Atelier has four limited-edition sets cased in a festive warm holiday red.

The four makeup sets include:

Clean Glow Trios

Westman Atelier Holiday Clean Glow Trio II with Truffle, Brulee and Dou Dou

They brought back the Clean Glow Trio in two variations ($75 each) which I think is a great way to try three cream formulas. The minis are 2.5 g per stick while the full size options are 5 or 6 g each. I picked up the Clean Glow Trio II for the fun packaging even though I already own all the colors. Sets are SUPER mini in size but I think they give you enough product to really get a sense of how the product performs. They’re also great for travel.

I swatched the holiday set next to my existing stash to see if there were any variations in colors and there are. Colors are extremely close and variations are so slight you can’t really see them in photographs. Also since Westman Atelier products tend to run on the sheer natural side of pigment, once blended on the face I don’t think you can see any difference in the colors.

For those curious, my mini Dou Dou in this year’s holiday set pulls a little cooler toned than my other mini Dou Dou. I have 3 different Petal Blush Sticks and they all look just the slightest bit different in undertone. Also some of the Lit Up sticks in the minis look a bit lighter/sheerer in color compared to my full-sized options, but once blended color is so sheer you can’t really tell the difference.

Clean Glow Trio Set I has Nectar Lit Up Highlight Stick, Biscuit Face Trace Contour Stick and Petal Baby Cheeks Blush Stick.

Clean Glow Trio Set II has Brulee Lit Up Highlight Stick, Truffle Face Trace Contour Stick and Dou Dou Baby Cheeks Blush Stick. I’m wearing the Clean Glow II Set below with the Vital Skin Foundation Stick in VI, Patrick Ta Major Dimension III Matte Eyeshadow Palette and Squeaky Clean Lip Balm in Ma Puce.

I really love these although I don’t think they will be for everyone. If you like minimal makeup pigment for a super natural look or love dewy emollient products these are for you! I know a lot of you are HUGE fans of the minimalist super dewy look.

However if have oily skin, these creams will most likely not last long on you unless you set with a powder on top. Also if you want bold color payoff and pigment, these will be too sheer.

Les Étoiles Lip, Blush & Highlighter Edition Set

Westman Atelier Holiday Set 2023 Les Étoiles Lip, Blush & Highlighter Edition Set - Biscuit, Nectar and Petal

I really loved last year’s Petal Edition Set and anytime there are new colors I’m instantly like YES PLEASE – SIGN ME UP. This year Westman Launched the Les Étoiles Lip, Blush & Highlighter Edition Set with all new limited-edition colors and a new blush formula. Swatches of the set next to other products/formulas with the same names.

Westman Atelier Holiday Set 2023 Les Étoiles Lip, Blush & Highlighter Edition Set - Biscuit, Nectar and Petal swatches

 

The set has a new powder blush called the Baby Cheeks Powder Blush and she launched it in Petal. This pulls very similar to the cream version, but the powder pulls a little more muted and dusty in color. Pigment is beautiful! Right along the lines of Westman Atelier’s sheer style but it is buildable which I LOVE. I hope she launches every single product in a powder form eventually.

The set has a new Lit Up Highlight Stick in the shade Biscuit. I swatched it below next to her contour stick in Biscuit. Undertone is the same. The Lit Up Stick in Biscuit is a very sheer cool-toned flesh brown with a pretty sheen. It’s very sheer and gives the skin a natural glossy sheen.

Westman Atelier Biscuit Lit Up Highlight Stick

We also have a new gloss shade in the Squeaky Clean Lip Balm formula called Nectar. This is almost identical to the Lit Up Stick in Nectar – sheer, luminous, soft and peachy. On my lips it’s very sheer but layered on top of a coordinating pencil and it’s perfection! I love it on top of Pat McGrath’s Permagel Ultra Lip Pencil in Nude Venus.

Westman Atelier Squeaky Clean Lip Balm in Nectar

Overall vibe is natural looking, fresh, dewy and glowy. I love everything even though the items pull on the sheer side. I would really love if she increased the pigment by maybe 10-15% but I love what she’s created.

I’m really hoping she extends the colors in powder formula. I think it layers beautifully on top of the cream. I’m still waiting and wishing for her to launch lip pencils or lipsticks (or even a chubby stick).

I passed on her Mini Brush Set as I have a couple of her brushes and while they’re very well made, they’re just not my favorite. If you’re looking to splurge big on a brush set I think the Hourglass Travel Brush Set is a better buy. The brushes are full-size and I use them all the time (I bought it last year during the Sephora sale).

You can find these sets out now at all Westman Atelier retailers. Available at Sephora, Nordstrom, Violet Grey and more. If you’re shopping the Sephora sale use code TIMETOSAVE to take advantage of the discount now through 11/6.

Holiday Makeup Looks I’m Loving Right Now

December 16, 2022

Holiday Beauty Looks

Happy Friday! Christmas is just around the corner and we’ve nearly made it through the entire year! If you’re in search of some makeup looks for the holiday season I have three to share with you today with favorites from Nordstrom. These are all super easy to recreate in under 15 minutes!

Foundation, Concealer and Powder Favorites

First a quick look at my base staples. Long-time reader will already be able to guess what’s on my go-to list! While the weather is mild here in Florida things still feel dry and my skin is feeling it! I like mixing the Westman Atelier Vital Skin Foundation Stick and Vital Skin Care Complexion Foundation for a well hydrated base. I use Shade VI in both formulas.

For concealer I’ve been loving the Bobbi Brown Skin Full Coverage Concealer in Shade Natural which is a really nice super creamy concealer with buildable coverage. The Hourglass Vanish Concealer Brush has been one of my favorite concealer brushes this year.

To set I still love the Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Powder in Medium (now refillable). I also still love the Air Brush which is retractable and super convenient for my bag or travel.

I’m at my lightest in skin tone right now with my winter skin color so I always add a bit of bronzer. I have so many favorites but the ones I use the most are the Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Oversize (in Medium) or the Les Beiges Healthy Glow Luminous Bronzer in Deep.

Holiday Makeup Looks via The Beauty Lookbook

Look 1: Peachy Nude Lip Look

Neutral Makeup Look

I’ll start with the look I feel the most comfortable in, neutrals! Bobbi Brown revamped the Luxe Lipstick and added new shades. These are super creamy and opaque with a natural sheen. The formula is a satin finish and I love the shade Almost Bare which is a beige peach. I topped it with a little bit of the Bobbi Brown Lip Gloss in Bare Sparkle.

Eyes are golden bronze tones with the Charlotte Tilbury Bella Sofia which I think will forever be my favorite eyeshadow quad! For liner I started using the Bobbi Brown Gel Eyeliner in Espresso Ink. Cheeks are a mix of the Westman Atelier Baby Cheeks in Chouchette and Bobbi Brown Highlighting Powder in Chestnut Glow which has a bit of a bronzy tone.

Look 2: Cold Girl Makeup Look

Cold Girl Makeup Look Trend

For this look I tried to recreate the cold girl makeup trend with the flushed pink cheeks and lips and frosted eyes. Getting that perfect flushed pink look depends on your skin tone so I pulled a few different shades of pink to try it out.

For the eyes I layered the Bobbi Brown Luxe Eyeshadow in Moonstone on top of the Charlotte Tilbury Bella Sofia. I love the formula of the luxe eyeshadows – they make the perfect one and done lid shimmer shade but also work as sparkly toppers! I added a bit of the Tom Ford Liquid Eyeliner for a bit more definition.

For pink cheeks I layered the Westman Atelier Baby Cheeks in Petal and Poppet, applying the lighter pink first and then adding a pop of the bright shade on top. To add a bit of glow the Bobbi Brown Highlighting Powder in Quartz Glow adds a soft candlelit glow.

For the lips my perfect flushed pink is Sisley Sheer Petal but the Laura Mercier Petal Soft Crayon in Ophelie is stunning too! Since I love a gloss topper I added the Sisley Le Phyto Gloss in Shade #3. If you want a more affordable option I think the Bobbi Brown Lip Gloss in Bellini or Laura Mercier Lip Glace in Macaron will give you a similar effect.

Look 3: Berry Glam

Byredo Liquid Lipstick Vinyl in Baiser Cosmique

Last but not least I created a look for the bold lip lover! For a fresh red the Sisley Phyto Rouge Shine in Sheer Cherry gives the brightest classy red I’ve ever tried. For something a little more dramatic I tried the Byredo Liquid Lipstick Vinyl in Baiser Cosmique which gives me the MAC “O” or Sophisto vibes but better. Since the lips are bold I kept eyes light with the Bobbi Brown Luxe Eyeshadow in Melting Point and Sisley’s Phyto-Kohl Matte in Shade #2. I pulled out the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Butterfly Palette to match the lip tones.

Best Holiday Gift Ideas Under $100

Happy Thursday! With Christmas right around the corner I wanted to share a few more gift guides for those still looking for last minute gifts! I’ve partnered with Nordstrom to share some of my favorites. Here are 15 gift ideas for the beauty lover all under $100! Many are under the $50 price point.

Best Holiday Gift Ideas Under $100 Nordstrom Beauty

Laura Mercier has so many great beauty staples perfect for the woman who wants to look polished in a natural way. The Laura Mercier Flawless Encounter Translucent Loose Setting Powder & Puff Set ($40) is super cute with the holiday design and it’s one of my favorite powder formulas.

For the person who loves sweet scents the Laura Mercier Party of Three Hand Cream Gift Set ($35) makes for a great chic stocking stuffer.

Laura Mercier Mini Hand Cream Trio Holiday 2022

For the hair care lover Oribe is the ultimate gift for luxury hair care. For those new to the line the Oribe Obsessed Discovery Set ($49) is a great introduction to the line. I bought this for myself for an upcoming trip.

Oribe Obsessed Discovery Set

I love silk scrunchies and think the Slip Ornament Silk Skinny Scrunchie Set ($25) is another cute find. Each year they have an ornament style with cute colors. I think this is great for any age!

Slip Ornament Silk Skinny Scrunchie Set

For the perfume lover there are tons of great discovery sets and candle gift options. If you like fresh and uplifting bright scents the Tory Burch Essence of Dreams Discovery Set ($65) has all five fragrances in a cute boxed bundle.

Jo Malone has beautiful luxurious gifts! The Wood Sage & Sea Salt Discovery Set ($48) has all of my favorites in one small but chic boxed set. They have a few variations with different scent options in case you’re looking for something different.

Jo Malone Wood Sage & Sea Salt Discovery Set

Nest makes the best affordable luxury candles (in my opinion). I always buy their Festive Votive Set ($48) every year for someone on my list. Love that it’s packaged beautifully so no extra work required for wrapping!

Nest Festive Votive Set

For the beauty lover/girl on the go I love Westman Atelier. She makes effortless beauty products for the person who likes a natural look and can touch up on the go. Love the Squeaky Clean and Cheeky Duos ($48). There are two variations with Ma Puce + Chouchette (one I’m wearing) or Nana + Bichette.

Westman Atelier Squeaky Clean and Cheeky Duos Ma Puce + Chouchette

If you’re new to Charlotte Tilbury skincare the Magic Mini Skincare Duo ($44) is a great starter duo. I really like the Magic Cream and everyone I’ve gifted it to really loves it as well.

Charlotte Tilbury Magic Mini Skincare Duo

Diptyque is always a win with holiday. So much to love from the line and I think they hands down have the best versatile sets and options for any age, style or gender! I love the Diptyque Sapin Room Spray ($48) and Candle ($84, also available in the small size for $48). Their holiday designs are stunning.

Diptyque Sapin Holiday 2022

The Diptyque Mini Candle Set ($95) is quite a splurge but makes for a great starter set whether you’re gifting yourself or another.

Diptyque Mini Candle Set Holiday 2022

For the home I really can’t rave enough about the Diptyque Softening Hand Wash ($65) and Velvet Hand Lotion ($67). Both are packaged in beautiful glass jars and are refillable.

Diptyque Softening Hand Wash and Velvet Hand Lotion

Last but not least Venus Et Fleur is another favorite of mine. Nordstrom carries a selection of their roses that smell incredibly beautiful and they do really last a year! Mine have lasted over a year and I absolutely love them. The Classic Le Mini Round comes in a wide range of base and rose colors to pick from. I have several but love the Pink Suede with Pink Rose and Merlot Suede with the Blush Rose the most.

Best Holiday Luxury Candles

Best Holiday Candles Diptyque Sapin

I love candles year-round but especially love holiday scents! A great cozy scent can set the mood and make things feel more festive. There are so many great options this year my wishlist is so incredibly long. My usual go-to’s are Diptyque Sapin, Vanille, Santal, Amber, Nest Holiday and Byredo Woods. I’ve tried a few new ones this year I think are worth checking out. Here are my favorites so far.

Diptyque Holiday

Diptyque Sapin Candle Holiday 2022

You girls know how much I love Diptyque. I order their holiday candles almost every year and I think they make the best pine scents. This year their holiday candles ($48 – $84) also glow in the dark (the box does too!). Sapin (Pine Tree) is a classic and I love the packaging design this year.

Etincelles (Spark) is described as a mix of wood fire, coffee and chocolate but to me it smells more like a woody spice.

Diptyque Etincelles Candle Holiday 2022

Neige (Snow) is a white powdery musk that does indeed remind me of snow. I love these so much and think the Holiday Trio (with small size) would make an absolutely stunning gift.

Diptyque Neige Candle Holiday 2022

I’ve splurged on so many of their home décor pieces and love every single one. This year the Diptyque team gifted me their Constellation Candle Holder which is gorgeous! If it’s in your budget I think it’s definitely worth a splurge.

Diptyque Constellation Candle Holiday 2022

From their regular lineup there are so many great scents. I love Santal, Ambre, Feu de Bois and Vanille this time of year. Their larger 3-wick candles are stunning too and have stronger throw than their regular standard candles.

Byredo

Byredo Symphonique Candle Holiday 2022

I tried the new Byredo Symphonique candle this year and thing it is beautiful. It has a mix of bitter orange and anise with ginger and cedarwood mixed in. It smells like a smokey spiced orange. Diptyque’s Oranger by comparison has a softer more powdery vibe.

Creed

Creed Vanisia Candles Holiday 2022

Creed candles are the best of the best in luxury. Vanisia is a soft powdery vanilla and amber mix. I splurged on the 7.7 oz variation ($115) which I’ve been burning at home because I love their Vanisia Room Spray. This holiday the Creed team generously gifted me the 3-wick Leather Candle. It’s available in 2 sizes and comes with their limited-edition bright blue leather holder. It’s stunning!

Creed Vanisia Leather Candle Holiday 2022

Overose

Overose launched delicious candles this year in a number of pastry inspired scents. They smell just like the real thing. I am still working my way through trying the ones I ordered. I really love Croissant Aux Amandes ($58) which buttery sweet but not too sweet. Definitely check out their new options this year – they have Pain Au Chocolat, Croissant, Cinnamon Roll and Macaron Pistache.

Overose Croissant Aux Amandes

Maison Francis Kurkdjian

Maison Francis Kurkdjian has three holiday scents this year. I must admit this is a brand I try not to look at because of the high price points, I don’t want to be tempted! My bestie gifted me the Pain d’Spices Candle ($75) and it’s decadent! It has a mix of orange, honey and cinnamon. So good I want to eat it. It has very good throw too.

Masion Francis Kurkdjian Pain d'Spices

Phlur

Phlur launched two holiday candles this year and they do not disappoint. Sweet Smoke ($45) is one of the most amazing smoky candles I’ve ever burned. It’s hard to envision what sweet smoke smells like but they nailed it. It’s a creamy sweet firewood kind of scent. Wild Balsam was a sweet surprise too and I think it just might be the best pine and juniper candle I have ever burned. I’ve already finished one up entirely. I am debating whether to order a couple more because Andrew was really impressed by it too. Love the colored wax with these!

Phlur Holiday Candles Sweet Smoke and Wild Balsam

Mizensir

Last but not least I love Mizensir candles. I loved their Bois Ardent from last year as a really nice smoky woody scent.

Mizensir Bois Ardent Candle

This year the team sent over Sapin de Noel which smells just like Christmas! It’s available in a standard size, 3-wick size and colored glass version. You can use code SABRINA15 to save 15% off your order from their website.

Mizensir Sapin de Noel

I have so many others on my list but there is not enough time to try them all. I am really curious about the Nest Crystallized Ginger and Vanilla Bean (which I am picking up soon). Jo Malone always has fun options this time of year. Boy Smells has some really nice options too.

If you had your eye on any of these I hope this roundup is helpful! What are your favorites this time of year?

Westman Atelier The Squeaky Clean Vault

November 17, 2022

Westman Atelier The Squeaky Clean Vault

Westman Atelier has some beautiful sets this year. The Squeaky Clean Vault ($228, available at Westman Atelier and Bergdorf Goodman) is quite the splurge with six new shades of the Squeaky Clean Lip Liquid Balm, all exclusive to this set. Today I have a look + swatches.

The six colors include:

  • Parla – sheer sparkling gold
  • Biscuit – neutral cool beige
  • Ma Biche – cherry red
  • Lou Lou – plum brown
  • Snowy – sheer sparkling white
  • Rudey Nudey – perfect nude pink

Westman Atelier The Squeaky Clean Vault

Westman Atelier The Squeaky Clean Vault

The Squeaky Clean Lip Liquid Balms are smooth and non-sticky. They have a nice moisturizing feel with a natural glossy look. They adhere well to the lips though without feeling like they’ll slide off. Colors pull on the sheer side in terms of pigment for the lighter and neutral colors. Deeper bold shades have more color payoff.

Swatches:

Westman Atelier The Squeaky Clean Vault swatches

Swatch comparisons of the lighter shades to other formulas. The formulas of these are all different but I wanted to add for color comparison: Laura Mercier Lip Glace, Pat McGrath LUST Gloss, Victoria Beckham Beauty Posh Gloss, Summer Fridays Lip Butter and Kosas Wet Lip Oils.

Westman Atelier Squeaky Clean Lip Liquid Balm Snowy

Westman Atelier Squeaky Clean Lip Liquid Balm Rudey

Westman Atelier The Squeaky Clean Vault

I really like the set and most of the colors. The lighter shades pull really sheer, especially the two sparkly ones – if they had more pigment or sparkle color payoff I would have absolutely 100% loved it. Parla and Snowy still give the lips that glassy gloss shine which I think is pretty – would have liked to see more pigment.

Whether or not it’s for you depends on if you can see yourself wearing all the shades or if you think it’s worth the splurge. It can be difficult to justify a set if you don’t like all the colors. I think it’s lovely and would make a great WOW gift. That being said if you only like certain shades I think you can find dupes in other lines.

If you’ve been eyeing this set I hope the swatches help you! I have a review of the Petal Edition Set here along with swatches of all the Baby Cheeks and other Squeaky Clean Lip Balms I own.

Sharing some gift ideas featuring all things cozy! I think there are lots of fun options to wear with fleece jackets. Scarves are a great accessory. For the home body a cozy blanket, plush pillow or fuzzy slippers are perfect!

Barefoot Dreams Blankets Nordstrom Sale

Ollie Cavapoo Barefoot Dreams Fox

To this day I still think Barefoot Dreams makes the best blankets and pillows. I’ve splurged on so many different blankets from them. I think the CozyChic Throw and In the Wild Throws are my favorites. I think this Ikat pattern is super pretty. I also have my eye on the CozyChic Travel Set. They also have a lot of cute things for kids. We bought Ollie a Baby Blanket and Plush Fox. He’s loved both since the day we brought him home.

I love a good fuzzy slipper. I did a roundup and tested a number of pairs a couple years ago (time flies!). Several of you commented that you also love slippers but find your feet tend to sweat in some of them. I noticed the same which is why I like the APL slides. I love the Techloom Slides for around the house (just bought these Chocolate Pair and love them). Every holiday they launch new limited-edition styles and this year they have the TechLoom Velvet and new colors of their Shearling Slides.

For jackets I’ve really been wanting to break out the sherpa jackets and hoodies but the weather here has been all over the place. We had a late hurricane/tropical storm season so I’m wondering if the cold weather will arrive later than usual this year in Central to South Florida. We have had one week of 40-50 degree weather this fall/winter so far.

Alo Yoga Foxy Sherpa Jacket in Camel

My favorite sherpa jacket is the Alo Yoga Foxy Sherpa Jacket (I have it in the Ivory and Camel). They added new styles this year which look cute and less bulky like the Sherpa Snow Angel Puffer and Varsity Jacket.

Lululemon also makes some nice fleece jackets. I bought the Cinchable Fleece Zip Up (last year’s version) and love it. Also like that they have it in the Scuba Style too.

Lululemon Everywhere Fleece Belt Bag

If you love all things fuzzy and soft I highly recommend checking out the Lululemon Everywhere Fleece Belt Bags and Nano Clip-On Key Chains. You may have to stalk the website or your store as they sell out very quickly. The good thing is they restock frequently. I think they’re super cute.

Best Diptyque Candles for Fall Ambre, Vanille and Santal

I’ll have a round up of the best holiday candles coming up soon. I think the Phlur Somebody Wood is the best cozy scent of the year for perfume. For candles I really love Diptyque Feu de Bois but I just burned the Phlur Sweet Smoke and I think it’s THE BEST smokey candle I’ve ever smelled. It’s hard to imagine sweet smoke but it smell just like that. It’s perfect. Le Labo Santal or Diptyque Santal are great cozy scents too. Also love Diptyque Ambre.

If you liked last year’s Diptyque Biscuit Candle check out Overose this year. They have an entire collection of sweet candles like Croissant, Almond Croissant, Chocolate and a few more.

A soft bath robe is another great cozy gift idea! I have a few on my wishlist this year. The ones I own are from Parachute Home. I love the Cloud Cotton Robe and the Waffle Robe (worn below) and really like both.
