May Favorites: Beauty.
Hello hello!
Best time of the month, coming right up!
GUYS. Ooooh I have so many favorites that I am LOVING this month. Even though we are nearing the temperatures and summer months where I barely wear makeup on my face, I was searching for a sunscreen that didn’t make my skin an absolutely mess and I’ve found it.
Right now, I’m mostly just wearing sunscreen, tinted moisturizer, brows, the cloud paint by glossier and my RMS highlight. Nothing overly exciting, but check out what I’m loving below!
May Beauty Favorites
First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cannabis and Dry Oat Oil. Lacy turned me on to this oil after loving how calming it was on dry skin. I’ve used this on my body and face and I love it. Calming is the best way to describe it, but it’s great for light moisture too. I’ve wanted to grab it for months but just finally found it at my Sephora. I’ve used it on some eczema patches too and it’s great.
Laura Mercier Metallic Caviar Eye Stick in Intense Amethyst. I’ve used these sticks for years and LOVE them. They are staples for me, for sure. This metallic amethyst is a new-to-me shade though and I am living for it. It’s so pretty and sparkly without being straight up glitter. P.S totally forgot to grab this for the photo!
SkinFix Lipid Boost 360 Eye. After a few experiments, I decided that my Drunk Elephant C Tango eye cream was balling up under my concealer, no matter what concealer I used, how long I waited to apply, etc. I really still like the DE cream, but use it mostly at night now. After a bunch of research, this Skinfix brand had amazing reviews and I went for it. I’m LOVING this. It seems more moisturizing than the DE one and almost thicker, but it absorbs really well and does not ball up on my skin at all.
Elta MD UV Clear Sunscreen. I’ve thought about buying this sunscreen for my face for a few years. I don’t know why I never bit the bullet but I finally did and I LOVE it. This is so great under makeup, over makeup, alone – I am so happy with it. Definitely wearing this year round from now on.
Skinceuticals Physical UV Defense Sunscreen. At the same time, I bought this facial sunscreen too (based on all the reviews!) because it was tinted. I wanted something that could provide more coverage. I also got the Elta MD tinted version but I like this more. It reminds me of the Dr Jart fluid sunscreen that no longer exists. This stuff is SO thin, it comes out almost watery. It blends right into your skin and is so ridiculously light, I can’t believe it.
Coola Sunless Tan Face Serum. I’ve used this for the last two years as the sunless tanner for my face and I’m at it again. When it comes to putting any sort of tan on my face, I feel like it’s almost pointless because my skincare takes it off almost every day. So I like to use this every other day or so and I’m so pale that the color is perfect for me. Also forgot to grab this for the photo. I’m really winning at life.
Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment in Bloom. I bought this at the April VIB sale and it’s my new favorite shade. It’s the most perfect shade of pink. I love these balms and have them in multiple colors, but this is going to be a strong fave. It’s the perfect on-the-go shade because you don’t need a mirror to put this one. Don’t let the color of the tube fool you here! It’s nothing like that shade.
Supergoop Shimmershade Eyeshadow SPF 30. This is another VIB sale purchase and I’m pumped about it. Not only is the color so pretty (it’s almost a little cool toned?), but it goes on so smoothly, gives the lightest amount of shimmer and has SPF! I love it. It does need a primer under it (NARS smudge proof is still what I use) but really… what doesn’t today?!
And that’s a wrap on this month! I’d love to hear what you are loving below!

Do you have a post about your fave hair products? I think you and I have similar hair and I’m really needing some new products for my thick hair! :D
ugh, i wish!! june, my hair has changed SO much since having kids that i feel like i’m in a stand off with it, haha. it seems to be getting better right now (i’m about 6 months post-nursing). what i’ve been loving/using depending on my hair the last few years:
macadamia oil nourishing moisture shampoo
macadamia oil nourishing moisture mask
unite 7 seconds leave in conditioner
unite expanda volume
unite blow & set
living proof perfect hair day
kenra blow dry spray
redken hot sets 22 thermal mist
Thank you so much!!
That list is exhausting…..
how so cheryl? it’s not like i use those things on my hair every day. it depends on if i’m blow drying my hair, curling it, keeping it straight, etc. on a daily basis all i use is shampoo, conditioner and 7 seconds.
Best sunscreen ever! I buy a new bottle every year. I bought the Supergoop shimmer shadow too, love it!
it’s so great!!!
I bought that FAB oil based on your VIB sale recs and I am also a big fan!! Now i think I need to try the supergoop eyeshadow…
the oil is so amazing!! and i am just loving the supergoop!

EltaMD is the BEST SPF out there! I’ve been using for years and have never turned back.

Okay I may be an idiot, but who is Lacy? I have read her in multiple posts, but I am not sure who she is. LOL
I love Sugar lip treatment! I also use Bloom and love it! Perfect for my skin tone. I was thrilled to see it on your list of faves! Yes it’s pricey but worth the splurge!
It’s her cousin and I think she is an assistant now too. Just being a creeper lol
EltaMD UV Clear is the absolute best everyday sunscreen, but don’t be like me and forget that it isn’t waterproof! I wore it to the beach and got a burn on my face because it came off in the ocean. Yikes. As far as haircare, have you heard of Virtue’s Recovery line? Bluemercury gave me a sample a few months back and I’m in love. My hair is so soft now and more manageable (rather than wild and dry).
thanks for the sunscreen rec. i will be needing a new one my lancome one is being discontinued. i am also a lover of a very fluid almost water like sunscreen for under makeup. For May i did change up something silly. i have used Nars foundation for a while and was getting blah about it. well i was online looking and apparently nars recommends putting it on with just your fingers vs brush or beauty blender. So i tried it and it made a huge difference ???? and its faster !!! double score. i still use BB for my concealer but ive been loving just dotting on the foundation old school and blending it out with my fingers. i know it sounds silly but it did make a difference. Other than that ive been enjoying bright colors on my fingers and toes that normally i do not wear cuz of work. but f it ! i got turquoise last week and loved it. My skin is finally not a desert thanks to the warmer weather so i changed up to DE Protini and have been enjoying having more normal skin vs the winter. Thats about it for me. embarrassingly i still have VIB items in a box i have to try. Olaplex Shampoo/Conditioner, PTR vitaimin C cream, etc. maybe June !
