Downy Unstoppables: I’ve been seeing these all over TikTok and had to pick them up to see what the hype is all about. I used it then on my bedding when I was switching over my from my down comforter to my summer bedding over the weekend and I was really impressed! I’m not one to love overpowering scents, and I found this to be just right! I used a small shake or two (probably 1-2 tablespoons if I had to guess) and the scent definitely lasts and is noticeable but doesn’t give me a headache. I think the key here is to use them sparingly, but overall I’m really loving them, and no skin sensitivity to them!
Biolage Color Last Shampoo & Conditioner: I bought these back in April after getting my hair toned because I was using Pantene and noticed my hair went back to being brassy pretty easily. I have a bad habit of washing my hair every day (working on getting to every other day, lol) and I wanted something that was low pH and paraben-free. After using for a full month, I feel like my color retention has been much better and my hair is softer (plus it smells amazing)! I do use a purple shampoo every few days as well, but so far I’m really happy with the results using these! I think it’s definitely worth the extra money to make your money spent at the salon go further.
Soap and Glory Body Milk: It’s no secret at this point that Olivia and I love pretty much any and everything that Soap and Glory makes. This lotion is no exception. I really can’t emphasize enough how good they’re products smell (but not that over the top/give you a headache smell) AND they actually work. This is a light weight lotion, but it’s perfect for me for summer especially. Is absorbs quickly and moistures perfectly.
Secret Clinical Strength Deodorant: Anyone else feel like their deodorant stops working after a month or so? I was feeling that way and tried this one and have been loving it. It’s their “invisible solid” which honestly isn’t very invisible. I know for some people, they can only do gel deodorants, but the texture really doesn’t bother me and for a product that actually really works, I’m totally fine with it. This is the best one I’ve come across for working out, heavily sweating, and what I wore the whole time we were in the Bahamas all day at the beach. Olivia doesn’t like the feeling of the solid one and uses the gel, and loves that one!
Phone Soap: This is something that might seem kind of extra, but I think it’s a really good product to have! It essentially is designed to kill 99.9% of household germs using UV-C light within a 10 minute cycle. I personally have the Phone Soap 3, and love it. It’s on the pricy side ($80 for the version I have) but I find it more convenient than wiping my phone down with a Clorox wipe every day and having to careful the preventing moisture from getting into any openings. I also use it for my keys, AirPods, and Apple Watch!
Estée Lauder Double Wear Foundation: I’ve used this foundation for a few years now, and Olivia also recently tried it and loved it! It’s high coverage, so it’s not a foundation I use every single day but if I want a full coverage foundation, this is always my go-to. It comes in 56 shades, lasts all day, helps control oil, all while still being lightweight. If you have really dry skin, I can see this foundation not being the best fit, but if your normal or oily, this is perfect.
Oyster Bay Sauvignon Blanc: Olivia and I both love this Sauvignon Blanc and it’s perfect for summertime! This is a super crisp wine and has citrus and peach notes. It’s not too sweet by any means, and it’s really refreshing. It’s also really affordable which always a plus.
