Just because the stores shelves are stocked with fall beauty hauls and Halloween must-haves, I’m still hanging on to every bit of summer. (Never surrender!) That means, I’m doing all I can to soak up some fun in the sun and keep that glow going as long as possible.
August brought me one last birthday celebration (yes, my birthday was in July!) but I never like to miss an opportunity to get glammed up and hit the dance floor…on a Sunday afternoon! By the way, I scored that vintage Dolce & Gabbana dress on Mercari for a fraction of the price. I am officially in my ‘won’t pay retail for designer clothing’ era.
As we’re all gearing up for Labor Day weekend and one last summer hurrah, here’s what I am currently loving for my skin, nails, lashes, and more…
